There is something extra special about a trip to a market compared with a trip to the shops. Markets are not just about making a purchase. Each has its own unique appeal in this mini community which seems to pop up from nowhere only to disappear the next day. It can be made into an outing for the day, giving shoppers the opportunity to browse and soak up the atmosphere while attempting to find that perfect gift or that fantastic bargain.


There is something even more special about purchasing those one-of-a-kind items that have been handmade by a talented artist or designer. These are the type of markets I like to frequent - those that showcase unique, handmade, arts and crafts or designer products. I love to be inspired by the creativity of designers and their attention to detail. From jewellery, to clothing, to furniture, I am often in awe of it all and secretly envious of their skills. Personal service is almost always guaranteed as many of the designers also run their own market stalls, allowing shoppers the opportunity to fully investigate the creation of their potential purchase. Creative markets really tick all the boxes – a pleasant shopping experience and quality products, whilst supporting local and small businesses.


You can find out more about some of these amazing markets thanks to the Weekend Notes writers team reviews. There are those that specialise in children's and babies products such as Mathilda's Markets and the Mummy Tree Markets , and others which do a great job of up-cycling with a vintage flair such as the Vintage and Designer Markets at West End. Some have been showcasing local talents for years such as the Southbank Lifestyle Markets and the North Pine Country Markets , while others such as the Creative Markets at Springwood and Mt Gravatt are relatively new to the market scene.






Perhaps you've been searching for that perfect gift for mother's day, Christmas, a friend's birthday or maybe even something to treat yourself. What about finding that perfect something for that someone who already has everything? Brisbane's creative, handmade and designer markets might just be the answer to such a shopping dilemma.
