The One of a Kind Show, with its signature mix of handmade clothing, art, jewellery, food, beauty products, toys and assorted knick-knacks, was around long before pop-up markets became all the rage among hip millennials. The latest edition of the semi-annual show, which starts tomorrow, also has a new feature: an Etsy marketplace where 40 mostly online artisans will flog their wares in the flesh. To help you navigate the thousands of products, we offer our top picks from the Etsy section and the rest of the show. Tickets $14. March 27 – 31; W, F, Sa 10–9; Su 10–6; Th 10–11. Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place, 100 Princes’ Boulevard, oneofakindshow.com
