Yesterday we told you about the indie shopping to be had at Bazaar Bizarre. Well, you have some decisions to make because hyper-local online publication The Bold Italic is partnering with 5M Project to put on Gift Shop, an independent San Francisco marketplace this weekend. The local shopping extravaganza will feature SF-made gifts including clothing, jewelry, home decor, and lots more.

Vendors include Joshu +Vela bags, Stolen Sunday scarves, Heartbreak Hotel vintage, Curiosity Atlas, Casa Murriguez housewares, Capital Eyewear, Salty Fox jewelry, The Kengarden, Buy Me Brunch T-shirts, and Tablehopper, plus there will be free Skeeball courtesy of Joey the Cat, a Snap Yourself! Holiday Photo Booth, bites, and free drinks. Bonus: get a $5 coupon good at any vendor plus 20 percent off at The Bold Italic's booth if you use Square Wallet!

If you're a local craftperson and would like to bring your own wares to sell, apply here!

It's all going down on Saturday Dec 1 from 11am to 5pm and Sunday Dec 2 from 12pm to 5pm at The Bold Italic Headquarters, 34 Page Street between Franklin and Oak.
