The cold holiday breeze is starting to set in, and before we get all cozy with our hot cocoas, there's another pending task on our to-do lists: Christmas shopping.

Admit it or not, one of the things we all look forward to for Christmas is the gifts under the tree. However, it takes a tedious effort to shop for the perfect gifts. Lucky for you, you can take that weight off your shoulders. Bonus: you can even support local artists and vendors from Atlanta!

The Holiday Shopping Spectacular, presented by Indie Crafts Experience, pays homage to the talents of Atlantans! Indie Craft Experience has worked with crafters, artists, makers, and vintage vendors to add a colorful selection of holiday gifts for over 17 years!

Their largest event kicks off again on November 12 to 13 at the historic Georgia Freight Depot. It has been their home for so many years, and they come with a promising lineup of vendors and artists. Did we mention they also feature some of the best food shops across Atlanta? Here are some:

• Bisoux Bakery
• Annette & Sumpter Pastry
• Birdhouse Market
• 365 Decor
• Katy MacDonald Studio
• Keith Two
• Abigail West Studio

Cop some lovely gifts for your friends and family - but we can't promise you won't be shopping more for yourself. The products are so good that self-control is out of the question here!

You will be asked to pay $5 at the door, but kids under 12 are free to enter. Other than that, you only need to bring your excellent holiday shopping skills!
