We recently brought you a quick write-up of holiday shopping events that would help you get your gift-buying done in a hurry, but we've found one more happening this weekend that's worth a look. Neighborhood Artists in Logan Square (otherwise known as N.A.I.L.S.) is throwing a holiday bazaar this Saturday full of original and unique art pieces at reasonable prices, making them perfect gifts to purchase in this shoddy economy. Dozens of local artists (disclaimer: including our very own Lauri Apple!) will be on site to showcase a wide variety of pieces including paintings, jewelry, stained glass, photos and more. Christmas shop, get free munchies, support the local art scene. Can't go wrong.

N.A.I.L.S. Holiday Art Sale & Show, 2328 N. Milwaukee, Dec. 6, 1 - 9 p.m.
