I love flea markets and craft shows and Nashville is full of them, but when they combine holiday and craft show?! It’s like winning a scratch off ticket.  You get to sip hot chocolate, or chocolate chai in my case, and explore aisles of treasures that could be the perfect gift for a friend or family member.  There’s always decorations, everyone’s excited because it’s a festive time of year, and there’s usually holiday or show specials!  I went to Porter Flea Holiday Market when it was just starting and in a short time it has GROWN.  There were at least twice as many vendors, a bigger space, more decor, and more holiday joy!  Here is my gift guide from the Nashville Porter Flea Holiday Market!

For the person in your life who loves handmade and stylish, meet H. Clark.  These bags were so beautiful in person, but what was even more beautiful was the fact that this is a family business, and the tannery is one of the few woman owned and operated tanneries in America!

Firepot Chai makes a great chai tea and they are opening a tea bar next spring!  This was a “make your own chai” bar that allowed you to scoop your own blend…for FREE! This makes a great gift for any tea lover. – Firepot.com

Nola Granola is so tasty and is great gift for someone you may not know that well; a co-worker, teacher, neighbor, because it’s so good and can be eaten by the handful, with almond milk, on yogurt, made into granola bars, the options are plentiful. – Nolasnacks.com

Share Love Everywhere is a brand committed to spreading love.  It began with the founder leaving cards around the city with kind words written on them for whoever found them.  She then built it into a brand, with some reminders we all need sometimes, that kindness matters and that we are enough.  This is the perfect gift for anyone, because who doesn’t need a reminder that they’re great? Perfect stocking stuffer! – shareloveeverywhere.com

As someone who loves flowers, this booth caught me off guard with all it’s blooms in the middle of December, but then I realized they were handmade flowers!  I love flowers, but it always makes me sad when they start to wilt on the counter.  This is a great alternative! They continue to look beautiful for as long as you display them.  This is a great gift for anyone who likes to brighten up their home, but doesn’t have time to be arranging and purchasing new flowers every other week. – amaranthuspaperflora.com

I actually purchased this Soberdough for my brother-in-law.  The samples were great and because he’s a foodie and a craft beer enthusiast, this made the perfect gift for him! It’s also super easy to make; one package and one bottle of beer, bake, and your done! Perfect for the foodie and beer connoisseur in your life. – Soberdough.com

Lilyan James has created one of the most unique handbag styles I have seen in a long time, which is saying something because I love a good handbag.  The shape is similar to a bowling bag, but then is more structure because of the leather used.  The smaller products were made from butter-soft Italian leather, begging to be put to everyday use! – lilyanjames.com

These signs printed onto wood were way too cute to pass by.  Especially the, “Well, Fudge” one!  These signs are great for offices spaces, bedrooms, entrance ways, really any space, because they are such conversation pieces! – plyshop.etsy.com
