As part of the Mission Holiday Block Party , La Cocina is hosting a gift fair at Mission Cultural Center, Friday, 4-9pm, full of local goods that will have your mouth watering. And while you stuff your face, you can get your holiday shopping done!

But don’t just take our word for it. La Cocina says it all:

“Drop by the sec­ond annual La Cocina Gift Fair – San Francisco’s pre­miere event for any­one with a food lover on their list.

Why spend days at the mall, hours online or even min­utes regret­ting missed oppor­tu­ni­ties, when you can get every gift you’d ever need in one quick (and REALLY fun) shot? You’re right, you’d be crazy to miss this. So, come one, come all. Eat good­ies. Drink drinkies (hmm). And buy gifts. From local entre­pre­neurs. Who make amaz­ing things. As if that deal wasn’t sweet enough, we’ve got raf­fles, giveaways and more.”
