Things are slowing down/we’re running out of time/it’s almost over. But there are a few local shopping events wrapping up this week that are here to save those of us still plugging away at the gifting thing:
—Tonight the shops of 811 E Burnside are staying open late with discounts and cocktails at shops like Haunt, Summerland, Redux, Bombshell Vintage, Sword+Fern, and Nationale. Tonight, 811 E Burnside, 7-9 pm
—Vintage/heritage-focused Animal Traffic is rounding up some of its favorite American brands (Red Wing, Vanson, Taylor Stitch, and Coalatree Organics) for a holiday party featuring a raffle for a pair of Red Wings, giveaways, New Deal cocktails, and Mike Elias of Denver and Devin Gallagher of Typhoon splitting DJ duties. Wednesday (tomorrow), Animal Traffic, 429 SW 10th, 5-9 pm
—One of the few of these shop-centric events that has a cover price, but in this case it’s because you’ll get wine and hors d’oeuvres from din din to go along with your perusal of goods from Tomahawk, Emily Katz, Adam Porterfield, Esser/Vesper, Reif, Chelsea Heffner, Emily Wyant, and more. Thursday, din din, 920 NE Glisan, 4-8 pm, $10
