Where to Shop for Truly Unique Gifts: Just J & J at the Farmington Gardens Holiday Market

I don't know about you but I love shopping for gifts! It's not easy finding the right gift for that friend who has everything but I still enjoy the process and every Christmas I look forward to the adventure with sheer glee.

Usually, through a combo of online shopping and in-store options, I can get everything done productively with a list, but the real fun is shopping for something not on the list. That shiny ornament that catches your eye and would be perfect for your bestie, but it's not on the list—that’s when the magic happens. The endorphins kick-in, and suddenly I can go all day without eating!

Just J & J Reclaimed Fabric Creations Joins Farmington Gardens Holiday Market!

Holiday markets, craft fairs, and thrift stores - those are my Jam! I love helping Jo-Ann set up the display for Just J & J Reclaimed Fabric Creations and deciding which items to highlight. It's a creative process that takes time and sometimes has no rhyme or reason. Once the display is set, I'm off checking out all the other vendors and hunting for unique handmade gems you could never find in a mall or online.

This year, I'm super pumped to share we are participating in The Farmington Gardens Holiday Bazaar two weekends in row! I know I'll have to work, but at least when I'm not at the booth I can walk around, get my steps in, and pick up some truly unique and personal gifts. A

couple of years back, I found an artist who turns pet photos into beautiful paintings—giving those as gifts brought me so much joy.

What will you do this year? Stick to the list or go rogue?
