Let’s face it, you could buy your friend another sweater from the big box store or give dad another gift he’ll be excited about for five minutes OR you could shop local and handmade to find something truly unique that friends and family will be talking about for years to come!

​

This holiday season, the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen (CACGA) invites shoppers to visit five unique shops across the Richmond region as part of their Handmade for the Holidays Passport program. Between Oct. 18 – Dec. 15, pick up a passport at any one of the participating shops, get the card punched at all five locations, and return your passport to the last stop to be entered to win a prize package worth $150!

​

Visit 9 Muses, Pop of Confetti, Re-Funkit, Stuff, and the CACGA Gift Shop to find everything from gourmet gifts for the foodie in your life to handcrafted jewelry for the fashionistas, art for friends with blank walls to housewares with flair for the decorators. Each shop is as one-of-a-kind as the work they sell.

​

You’ll support local businesses and artists while crowning yourself the best gift giver ever!
