Shop Local For The Holidays

December 8, 2020

This year, say Happy Holidays with a gift that gives back to your local community with shopping and buying local. Not only are local gifts simple to find, they are also an excellent way to invest in your local community. At Eagle Creek Village, many of our local shops stock an array of products made here in BC and from all over the world! Best of all, by shopping locally, you help to support those in your community ensuring that the New Year will be a brighter one for everyone!

Come and check out Cascadia Liquor for a great selection of BC wines famous worldwide. If you need a present in a hurry, visit them to find refreshing wine choices like Pinot Noir or Gris, Merlot, and Chardonnay. Here’s a tip: look for the BC VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) to know that you are buying a wine that is 100% grown and made in British Columbia. You can never go wrong with a delicious edible gift, so head over to Quality Foods to pair your wine selection with delicious cheeses, crackers and jams. If you want to hand them the reigns, they can craft you one of their lovely gift baskets with an assortment of delicious goodies.

Are you looking for something unique and special, visit A Step Above for a selection of treasures for the best home, kitchen and bath products from around the world.

Did you know that BC is home to gorgeous flowers and plants; choosing local is a sustainable way to brighten up your home for the holidays. Let The Flower Stand create a beautiful seasonal plant arrangement like poinsettias or a winter greens wreath for your home or to deliver to a loved one.

If you are like us, your pet will also find a gift under the Christmas tree. To help you find just the right pet-friendly gift, head over to Bosley’s for a selection of seasonal holiday apparel, pet toys, and an assortment of delicious treats sure to be loved by your pet.
