Christmas Markets

I previously posted about the upcoming Christmas Markets, and I have to say that this year the markets have been really good.

So I started the festive season off with a visit to the Constantia Gift Fair, you can find my review here.

The second market I attended was the Simply South Gift Market in Bergvliet.  I went to this market last year so I knew that it was going to be good.  It was better than last year, however I didn’t buy as many gifts.  I landed up buying myself a few things instead.  I love plants and bought this cute succulent below.


The next market I went to is the Kommetjie Christmas Market.  It’s a bit of a drive but totally worth it.  I could have spent a fortune at this market.  I need to give a shout out to Long Beach Brewery who was the only stall selling alcohol.  If you haven’t tried their craft beer yet, I would definitely recommend that you try it.  I enjoyed the IPA and the porter beer.  They say as a woman you should start off with the blonde ale, but definitely try all of them out.

If you haven’t heard of 37 Sandals yet, they’re definitely something to look out for.  You can buy a tan or black base and buy a variety of straps.  After wearing mine for a few weeks and taking them on holiday I definitely think I need to go shopping for a few extra pairs of straps.  The straps are easy to change out and you can mix and match.  With their wide variety of colours you can definitely find a different colour for every outfit.

The last market I attended was the Pinelands Craft Market.  I’ve never been to this market before and could kick myself for not trying it before.  It’s held at the Pinelands High School.  The market is a fair size and filled with a lot of different things but there are also similar stalls to the Kommetjie market.  There were a lot of crafty goods, lots of plants and of course food products.

All in all I bought most of my Christmas presents at the markets and had a ball visiting the different markets.
