DURHAM REGION’S LARGEST

Handmade Markets

Picks and Giggles is a well-curated series of markets highlighting both established and emerging handmade and design artisans in the fields of jewellery, food, accessories, fashion, art, home and lifestyle goods and services.

Our mission is to provide a place for the community to experience and support creative small businesses that take pride in locally produced goods or services, designed and manufactured in Canada.

Why Support Local Handmade

#PurchaseWithPurpose

Over the last 9 years, Picks and Giggles has evolved as a gateway for local Canadian entrepreneurs to connect directly (in real life) with their local audience, and to spread the powerful message of shopping local.

Communities prosper when a local entrepreneur grows and can start employing local community member – this means re investing and hiring other local businesses! Economic growth happens!

In a world full of digital marketing and online shopping, we’re committed to providing a space for you, the modern maker, to showcase and sell your business IRL to the communities around you.
