Craft2.0: Handmade for the Holidays

Christmas shopping with a cupcake in hand

Frosty and Snowman, Good King Wenceslas and the Little Drummer boy know the best Christmas shopping is at Craft 2.0’s extravaganza at TheNewDowse in Lower Hutt.

On Saturday, 18 December, Wellingtonians who want to gift in style will be able to buy everything from teapot necklaces, iPad covers, hand-dyed yarn, soap and vintage-fabric foot rests to original prints and drawings for their beloved or that annoying uncle who has everything.

The modern-day craft show, which is a cult event in the region, features the best of New Zealand’s crafters, makers, indie designers, artisans and artists selling their own goods direct. Forget giving crappy mass-produced stocking stuffers this year; Craft 2.0 is all about creative, well made and unusual gifts that stand out from the crowd.

As well as over 60 stalls to shop at, Craft 2.0 attendees can get their purchases wrapped at the gift-wrapping table, learn how to decorate a cupcake that Nigella would be jealous of and be in to win spot prizes – just for being there on the day.

Take a break from the crowds, make Christmas shopping an enjoyment and treat the family to a trip to Craft 2.0: Handmade for the Holidays.

Craft 2.0 Handmade for the Holidays is from 10am-3pm. Friends of Craft 2.0 get entry to the fair at 9.30am.
