Got Craft Holiday Market Gift Bag Giveaway
Holiday craft season is in full swing and Got Craft? is a must-see event if you love to shop handmade and shop local.
Got Craft? aims to bring together a community that fosters handmade and D.I.Y. culture. Founded in 2007, Got Craft? is held twice a year in May and December featuring 75 handmade designers, craft workshops, tasty treats, DJs, FREE swag bags, and an average attendance of 3000+ a year.
The vendor list grew by 45% for the holiday show, now featuring 80 artists who make everything from chocolate to cards and clothes, so that shoppers can buy themselves a present or knock everything off their holiday shopping list, all while listening to indie music.
Got Craft? will be at the Croatian Cultural Centre (3250 Commercial Drive, Vancouver) on Saturday, December 8th and Sunday, December 9th, 2012 from 10:00am to 5:00pm each day. Admission is $3 and children 10 and under are free.
100 swag bags will be handed out at the show featuring about 20-25 items contributed by vendors that include some of the items below:

I’m entering this content on behalf of all the local goodies included in the deal! Have been a Irit Sorokin fan for years (her one-of-a-kind jewellery includes beads & findings from Vancouver to NYC), and love discovering new talented designers and food vendors around this city.
Oops! Make that ‘an’ Irit Sorokin fan 😉
Got Craft? is an annual tradition, but I’ve never been one of the lucky swag bag earlybirds. It sounds like this year’s crop of vendors is going to be stellar.
Got Craft? is the best craft show of the Season!

I’ve been a little gunshy about Got Craft? since I was 19th in line and people saved spots for their friends, who sauntered into line 2 minutes before the doors opened and took the remaining bags. But so many good sellers this year!

Love the swag!

I’m happy to see that this event has flourished over the years. Remeber to support your local crafters. Here is my entry, in hopes to win one of those coveted bags *fingers crossed*!

Great Prize
A lifetime supporter of local handmade everything! We are so lucky to have so many talented artists in our great city. Got Craft! Is a wonderful celebration of local art & artisans. Will definitely be attending but I prefer to go later in the day when it’s slower so I can talk to the artists (which means I always miss the swag bags perhaps until now… 😉
I have been a got craft regular for years (including lining up bright and early for a swag bag). My friend who goes with me each year can’t go this year because of a death in the family, so I’m hoping to win a second one for her.
My favorite craft show of the year!!!! I can’t wait to go : )
Got Craft is our favorite of all the markets in Vancouver! I always get most of my Christmas shopping done here, plus I get to run in to friends I haven’t seen in a while! Very festive! I just started my own art print business for kids, and I’m hoping to get in as a vendor next year 🙂
Best giveaway EVER!!!
Pick me! Pick me!!
Eeeeee I’m so excited. I can’t wait!
Always inspired by what I see at Got Craft ~ so much creative talent in one room is amazing … makes me want to make more stuff, too!
I can’t remember the last time I went to the Craft Fair with my sister. Looking forward to this year’s! And the giveaway will definitely help too! Thanx!
Looks like a wonderful event this year as always with amazing swag. I think it is fantastic to have so many talented people and their unique art in one place. A beautiful thing. Hope I am th lucky one!
