With shipping delays and shortages threatening the holiday shopping season, there’s never been a better time to get back to basics. This year, consider buying holiday gifts in person from local shops. You’ll support local businesses and enjoy holiday shopping the old-fashioned way: without a screen. If you live in Kennett Square, PA, you’ve got lots of great options to choose from. From the Kennett Square Holiday Village Market to independent crafts boutiques, there are tons of creative choices.

The Kennett Square Holiday Village Market

In Germany, the Christkindlmarkt is a beloved annual tradition dating back to the Late Middle Ages. Essentially, it was an early form of a pop-up market where vendors would hawk Christmas goods, treats, and gifts. Today, the tradition lives on in Kennett Square. You can visit the Kennett Square Holiday Village Market, modeled after a traditional Christkindlmarkt on the following dates this year:

• Saturday, December 4
• Sunday, December 5
• Saturday, December 11
• Sunday, December 12

It’s held from 11 AM to 5 PM at The Creamery of Kennett Square. Admission and the shuttle bus are both free of charge. Enjoy browsing holiday ornaments, décor, and gifts while sipping hot chocolate and other treats from food trucks. All vendors are local or regional artisans – commercially made/mass-produced items are banned from this market!

Kennett Square Farmers Market

A farmers market might seem like an unusual place to shop for holiday gifts, but it’s actually a genius move. If you’re shopping for someone who has everything—or for someone who wants nothing—what better gift than locally produced artisanal food? At the Kennett Square Farmers Market, you’ll find everything from vanilla-infused maple syrup (gift boxes available) to toffee brittle to home-brewing kits for craft beer enthusiasts. You can shop for a special holiday dinner or breakfast and get Santa’s list checked off in the same trip.
