It’s nearly December, and you know what that means: the opportunity to finally ‘get your holiday shopping done early’ like you promised yourself you would is quickly coming to a close.

Last year, Yelp Charleston as one of the top cities to shop locally in the U.S.– and for good reason: our calendar is packed with holiday markets that make not only for an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, but also a way to cross a few names off of your shopping list. We’ve rounded up 20+ that are happening between now and Dec. 25– and we’re certain you’ll find something special for even the hardest-to-please person you know.
