If you haven’t picked up all your gifts yet (or haven’t started), you’ve got two good chances at getting handmade, local and indie items this weekend.

The first, as you can see above, is the Lola Giant sale, a two-day market featuring more than 25 local, handmade artists. The sale is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at Van Go Mobile Arts, 715 N.J.

Another place to find local handmade gifts is the annual Holiday Market put on by the Lawrence Farmers’ Market. The Holiday Market runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Holiday Inn, 200 McDonald Drive. Regular farmers’ market vendors and more will be there, selling foods, crafts, jewelry, personal care items and more.
