The third Gifted after-work shopping party with Other Music DJs and free Brooklyn Brew Shop beer is tonight from 6 to 9pm. Last week's was really fun—this week it's your last chance to beat the holiday crowd rush.

Come after work (or play or parenting or procrastination) from 6 to 9pm, grab a cup of the Brew Shop's home-brewed suds (they had eggnog stout last week), sway to the sonic stylings of Other Music staffer extraordinaire Mikey IQ Jones on the hi-fi, and, well, shop.

We've got an awesome crew of new vendors this week—check out our Gifted items of the day for a sampling—and plenty of cute faces to mingle with.

See ya there.
