Last Minute Dash: A One-Stop Holiday Shopping Sprint at The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls

Adirondack holiday gift shopping in Glens Falls

Visit the artisans at The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls for creative gifts.

The holiday clock is ticking—and if your gift list still has a few unchecked boxes, Last Minute Dash is here to save the day. On Saturday, December 20, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., The Shirt Factory hosts its final guest-vendor shopping event of the year, bringing together local makers, artists, and authors for one last, festive flurry of holiday shopping before studios close for the season.

Designed to be easy, enjoyable, and entirely first-floor focused, Last Minute Dash is all about convenience without sacrificing charm. It’s your last chance in 2025 to browse guest vendors in one central location—and the final weekend, many Shirt Factory studios will be open before the holidays.

An event is worth the dash.

If you love giving gifts with a story behind them, this event delivers. Last Minute Dash is tailor-made for shoppers who want to skip the big-box chaos and instead support local businesses, artists, and independent shops—all while finding truly one-of-a-kind presents.

Expect a relaxed, community-driven vibe as you browse handmade goods, small-batch treats, original artwork, décor, jewelry, fiber arts, skincare, candles, pottery, and unique holiday pieces. These are gifts you won’t find online or wrapped in generic packaging—each one reflects the creativity and care of its maker.

Book lovers, take note.

Still searching for the perfect read (or a gift for the reader who already has everything)? Several beloved literary stops will be open and well-stocked for the season:

You’ll also find a thoughtfully curated selection of local titles and Blind Date Books at SensibiliTeas (Studio 106)—a fun and thoughtful gift option when you want to surprise someone with their next favorite read.

Cozy finds and creative flair.

Looking for wearable gifts or something to warm up a home during winter’s longest nights? Visit Stitches by Dawn (105) and Noir Star (101B) for handmade clothing, accessories, and cozy seasonal décor. Throughout the first floor, additional studios will be filled with jewelry, artwork, handcrafted pottery, skincare, candles, and creative pieces—ideal for meaningful, last-minute treasures.

A community-first holiday tradition.

Unlike some Shirt Factory weekends, there’s no raffle during Last Minute Dash. The focus is simple and intentional: supporting local makers, celebrating creativity, and enjoying a welcoming holiday atmosphere as the year winds down.

Shopping here keeps dollars circulating locally, helps independent artists head into the new year strong, and turns gift-giving into something more personal. It’s the kind of holiday errand that feels good long after the wrapping paper comes off.

Make it your final festive stop.

Whether you’re finishing your list or just soaking in the holiday spirit, Last Minute Dash is a joyful reminder that the best gifts are often found close to home. Take your time, meet the makers, and enjoy a warm, easygoing shopping day before the studios close their doors for the season.
