Long lines, trashed shelves and clanging metal shopping trolleys – you need those things like you need the Eurodance ‘Jingle Bells’ remix.
And anyway, you can get that 24-piece cutlery set half-off if you wait until the 26th.
For an experience that’s fun, unique and totally headache free, enter the physical incarnation of Etsy’s eclectic virtual marketplace.
In a headache-free zone of the Sydney CBD, you’ll find a wonderland of unbridled creativity and killer hand-eye coordination from over 150 local craftspeople.
While grab-and-go types can cross off their shopping lists with handpainted ceramics, vintage threads, and one-of-a-kind jewelry, why not pick up a few extra brownie points at a hands-on DIY workshop? Our sights are set on the modern woven homewares with My Very Own Eye Goggles.
And if there’s one thing more woeful than a post-shop binge in the Westfield food court, it’s a Sad Etsy Boyfriend. But you won’t find any of those at the carb and haircut dude stall staged by The Barber Shop and Brooklyn Boy Bagels.
If Christmas shopping was a sport, this would be winning it.
