Gift giving is one of my favourite things to do when you know that you've bought the perfect present and wrapped it with care. The Constantia Gift Fair took place over the weekend and while my intention was to get as much of my Christmas shopping done as possible (I promise it really was!), I'm embarrassed to admit that I left with four items for myself and no gifts to put under the tree.
We are blessed with many great markets in Cape Town and one tends to get a little bored when seeing the same stalls week in and week out at various different markets, but the Constantia Gift Fair had great new vendors with fresh ideas (al beit somewhat repeated amongst the stalls.) The main target market was largely girls and kids, but then again, when is it not. 
The organisers should be commended for the great decor and festive atmosphere it created - large gift boxes lined the entrance, quirky quotes were pegged all around to entertain and artwork decked out the table tops. It was also great to be able to browse (and shop) across all the stalls with a basket and then pay at a single pay point at the exit. 
You may have missed out on the gift fair experience in Constantia, but the tents will move to Durbanville at the end of the month for the Durbanville Gift Fair...so keep calm and go shopping!
