Every holiday season we ask ourselves the same question: what should I get for everyone on my nice list? Like we have for the past few years, we’ve put together a gift guide to help you enjoy the holidays to the fullest, without worrying about presents. This year’s guide focuses on experiences because moments make the best gifts.
Pottery lessons at the Visual Arts Centre in Clarington
Discover a new hobby together or expand your love for pottery with wheel throwing classes at the VAC. After the 8-week workshop, not only will the lucky recipient learn a new skill, they’ll also get to leave with new pretty pottery items! The Whitby Art Studio also offers a shorter 2-visit workshop: the perfect option to enjoy together!
Family fun at Kavanaugh Farms in Bowmanville
Just a 20-minute drive from Thermëa spa village, Kavanaugh Farms is the perfect place to enjoy a day out on the farm. With kids’ farm camps, alpaca walks (you read that right), goats and giggles hang out and goat yoga, you and yours are sure to make joyful memories. Send them an email to book a private day out or check out their farm stays experiences for a getaway for two.
Well-deserved rest at Thermëa spa village in Whitby
Once the madness of the holiday season is behind us, those to whom you have given a gift certificate to the spa will be grateful for the opportunity to recharge. With holiday packages carefully crafted for everyone on your list, you’re sure to find the winning combination to make their holidays.
To do your holiday shopping in person, head to Oshawa Centre, Pickering Town Centre or CF Shops at Don Mills to visit our holiday kiosks.
Winter adventures at Trail Hub in Uxbridge
Trail Hub offers practically endless trails for mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and all-around adventuring. A gift card or season trail pass opens the door to a world of outdoor exploration. Whether you tag along or let the nature lover in your life enjoy the trails for themselves, they’re sure to enjoy the beautiful views.
Jewellery making with DTW in Toronto
Elevate the classic gift idea of jewellery by making it yourself. DTW offers a variety of workshops (and gift cards) for beginners and advanced silversmiths. The wedding band workshop, a “labour of love,” is an especially romantic gift to share with a partner. They’ll not only enjoy a workshop but also leave with lasting memories and a gorgeous piece of jewellery.
Glamping with Whispering Springs in Grafton
Combine the comforts of home and the great outdoors with the beautiful safari tents of Whispering Springs. Give the gift of a future getaway this spring featuring hikes in forest trails, paddle boat rides in a spring-fed pond, lawn games, group yoga and fire meditation. Feeling a little impatient? While the resort is closed during the winter months, their two cabins are still available for the perfect winter getaway, complete with private hot tubs.
