Friday Finds: last-minute holiday shopping at Gilman Village

0

If you haven't finished (or dare I say, even started?) your holiday shopping, there's no need to worry. I always think some of the best decisions are made under pressure. But, thanks to Berkeley's Gilman Village, you have until December 24th to knock out your holiday gift list. At Trove, score deals (40-70% off retail prices) on everything from ceramic trays and bowls by Rae Dunn to wooden bowls, John Robshaw shams, and tabletop goods. You might even find a new dining table for the holiday dinner, or a little something to keep on-hand for your next baby shower gift.

For rare finds and artwork from around the world, stop by Ethnic Arts for hand-painted ornaments, handmade silver jewelry, and suzani textiles.

Pick up one-of-a-kind French-inspired goods at The Pop-Up Shop. Items change weekly, so you might just have first dibs on newly rotated inventory. Check the chalkboard for prices.

For paintings by Bay Area artists including Lori Robinson and Don Beck, head to Show Place Art.

On the way out, don't miss T-Rex BBQ Restaurant's holiday happy hour (3pm-6pm) for hand cut fries ($3), devil eggs ($2), barbecue oysters ($2), and tacos ($1). Wash it down with a $4-dollar draft beer.
