Are you procrastinating on your holiday shopping? Want some unique local gifts to give to friends and family this week? You're in luck.

The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is hosting a local and fair trade holiday gift bazaar from 11 a.m. - 5 p,m. today. Over 40 vendors will be on hand selling locally made foodstuffs, apparel and accessories. Visitors will have the opportunity to create custom-made gift baskets for that special someone or hard-to-shop-for person on your list.

Chef Gale Gand will also be on hand, selling her own root beer and signing her many cookbooks. Gand has also donated a monogrammed and autographed chef's coat that will be auctioned off.

The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is located at 2430 N. Cannon Drive.
