As I mentioned in a previous post, it is approaching the silly season, we all begin to make our Christmas lists and end-of-year gifts need to be sourced. Well I cannot think of a better Christmas shopping experience, away from the busy malls and general hustle and bustle, than The Constantia Gift Fair.
The Constantia Gift Fair is held at SARDA, in Constantia, a truly beautiful location, with amazing views of the breathtaking Constantia Valley. The Constantia Gift Fair 2012, will be held from the 7-11th November. There will also be a The Gift Fair taking place in Durbanville, at the end of November.
The Constantia Gift Fair is not only a fair, it is a lifestyle event full of inspirational ideas and hand-picked innovative products – a celebration of gifts with a difference. There will be fabulous home and garden accessories, stunning fashion items from local fashion brands, and gorgeous must-have gifts on offer.
After you have finished your shopping or if you are merely in need of extra energy to carry on shopping 😉 head on over to the deli area. The deli section is an extravaganza of delicious and exotic food-gifts. The famous Tina Bester, “Queen of Tarts” will also be at The Fair, wowing patron with her baking prowess. There will definitely be something for everyone from gorgeous sushi, flat-breads burgers to decadent cheeses and breads, so come and sample the amazing food on offer – wash it all down with a craft beer or superb Constantia Valley wines. Even the kiddies will be catered for. You can finish of your meal with amazing artisanal Ice Cream and perfectly brewed coffee. It is all making my mouth water already!
The Fair promises a magical atmosphere, with late-night shopping on Friday evening until 8pm, live music for the adults and entertainment for the kiddies as well. Kiddies activities will include art options, as well as physical fun to keep your little-ones occupied while you shop.
