Black Friday and Cyber Monday may have passed, but many of us still have plenty of holiday shopping to finish up. Since the big deals are done, it’s the perfect time for us all to support local businesses and bring home some unique gifts for our friends and family.

Luckily this weekend there is the perfect opportunity for you to find artisanal gifts, as well as try out great cuisine from West Hollywood’s Aeon Botanika Cafe. The cafe, with food by Chef Fred Eric, will be hosting a holiday bazaar featuring local makers selling their own artisanal goods, handmade clothing, jewelry, skincare, and many other eco-conscious products.

Chef Fred Eric will be serving some of Aeon Botanika’s signature savory dishes, as well as festive drinks while you get your shopping on in their Moroccan themed lounge. Live jazz music will set the mood and most certainly put you in the holiday spirit. This West Hollywood holiday bazaar will also be supporting The Actor’s Fund, a non-profit organization that helps actors who are starting out, or just need a little extra help with education costs, health bills, and more. You could be helping fund the next great actor waiting to be discovered…an appropriate way to give on your trip to the entertainment capital!
