“Ordering is especially important this time of year because so many artists are short-staffed, backed up with their own orders or just getting open after the COVID-19 shutdown,” she said. “Many artists actually got second jobs, so we have been placing larger orders with the knowledge that many will not be fulfilled without a six- to eight-week wait. We also extend our hours to every day, 11 to 5, after Thanksgiving.”

While Smith said it’s hard to predict gift-giving trends, Gallery Three-Two-One stays committed to keeping inventory varied.

The Oxford shop features a variety of jewelry.

“You can never tell,” she said. “The only thing that we can guarantee is that Christmas Eve will consist of mostly men shopping. We have such a wide range of handmade items, like jewelry, glass, metal, woodwork, wall art (and) cork handbags that it’s hard to tell what will be most popular. Every day it changes.

“Last year, my ceramic stemless wineglasses and personalized mugs were huge sellers,” Smith continued. “I’m trying to make some every day, to get ahead of the season.”
