Each year as the holiday season gets underway, there's one aspect of it that many people dread: buying gifts for everyone on their list, especially the picky recipients. That's why Alexandria residents are lucky to have the Fine Art and Fine Craft Holiday Market come to town each year.

Held in the Del Ray Artisans Gallery at the Colasanto Center, this annual market always offers unique stocking stuffers and gifts that you won't find anywhere else. That's because they're all handcrafted by local artists and artisans. Pieces of jewelry, beautiful photographs, wall hangings, pottery, and even glass works of art are all for sale at the Fine Art and Fine Craft Holiday Market, so you shouldn't have any trouble checking off everyone on your list. Plus, there's the added bonus of supporting your local community at the same time.
