The holiday season is upon us. For just a few cherished weeks, we can indulge in wonderful treats, sing along to carols, and spend special moments with those closest to us. A big part of the holidays is gift giving and Red Deer has spectacular hidden gems where you’ll find locally made treasures with the added benefit of supporting small business.
Ok, let’s do this!
Pretty Made Things
Pretty Made Things is all about nurturing small vendors. Browse through their selection of gift items that you won’t find anywhere else. Bath and body, home décor, candy, games, greeting cards – lots of creative items for all the people and pets. Find them in Bower Place during your shopping extravaganza.
Downtown Red Deer Winter Market
Rosy cheeks will be on the itinerary during the Winter Market. This outdoor market takes over downtown Red Deer on November 24th and 25th serving up holiday shopping, great food, hot drinks, and live music. Get your Christmas fix at this amazing event courtesy of the Downtown Red Deer Business Association.
Blue Grass Nursery Christmas Store
Garden centres are well known for doing it up BIG for the holiday season. We’re excited to share that the Christmas Store at Blue Grass Nursery is now open. In addition, there are special events to participate in all through November and December including an Enchanted Christmas Market and holiday-themed workshops.
Parkland Nurseries and Garden Centre at Christmas
Speaking of garden centres, our list would not be complete without Parkland Nurseries and Garden Centre. With displays of 20 decorated Christmas trees, ice sculptures, holiday greenery (live and artificial), it’s sure to get you in the spirit of the season. Remember, every Saturday from now until December 16th, their holiday Craft & Market is on, just bring a donation for the Food Bank as admission.
Get all your holiday shopping done in one glorious weekend!
