Have you started your holiday shopping? If you’re in need of inspiration, keep reading to find local shops you can head to for the perfect gifts!
Personally, I have just begun my holiday shopping. Every year I make a deal with myself that I will have everything completed by the end of November. Somehow, this never seems to come to fruition. Over the past week however, I have found many local shops that have fantastic gifts for friends and family members.
First up is Tooka Florist, I am in awe of all of their holiday florals, mini trees, gift baskets, and planters. There is one gift in particular that I would highly recommend, this being their Gingerbread Cookie Box.

This combination of fresh florals and hand crafted Christmas gingerbread cookies is quite literally perfect for any friend or family member. Click here to place your order – you can pick up in store or have it delivered!
Another great gift idea is providing your loved ones with a Spa package. Providing the gift of relaxation is always a hit, that’s why I think this Relax & Unwind package from Spa Utopia is a fantastic choice.

The package includes a Spa Utopia Rosemary Mint 15.5oz Shower gel, a Rosemary Mint 15.5oz Lotion, a Rosemary Mint Shampoo 2oz, Rosemary Mint Conditioner 2oz, Aromatherapy Associates moments candle in Rose 85g, Warm Buddy Relax Aromatherapy Roll on 10ml, K’pure Super Moisturizing Lip Balm in Peppermint, Spa Relaxus Exfoliating Glove, 2 complimentary Aromatherapy Associate samples, and a $200 Spa Utopia gift card. Doesn’t that sound fabulous? Click here to purchase yours! Should you place your order online for the North Vancouver location (160 – 889 Harbourside Drive), you will likely be able to pick up within 24 hours.
If you’re in the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood this weekend, heading over to the Polygon Gallery is a great call.

Their Holiday Shop has design focused holiday gifts including cards, ornaments, candles, photo books, jewelry, apparel, stationary, and homeware by local makers and international companies.
Last but not least, purchasing gift cards to local businesses makes for great Christmas presents or stocking stuffers. Here’s a list of local restaurants you can consider! Some of my recommendations are Buddha-Full Cafe, Browns Socialhouse, Indian Fusion, and Valley sushi.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful when it comes to your holiday shopping. I’m hoping to have mine completed by the end of the week, wish me luck!
