6 ways to get holiday-ready at Wesbrook Village

Getting ready for the hols isn’t just about picking up presents. It’s about getting party-ready, mentally ready, and having fun while you do it! Wesbrook Village is the perfect spot to go with (or without) the whole family. Plus it’s decked out in holiday lights for a festive feel.

Pick up holiday supplies

It’s nice to have some festive bubbly or wines on hand over the holidays to bring as hostess gifts or have at the ready for open houses and dinners. Pick up a few bottles of gold covered Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc or a pink prosecco that looks so festive and fun in a glass at the BC Liquor Store in the village. For groceries, head to Save-On-Foods for all your food supplies. For tea lovers, perhaps a gift basket from Murchie’s Teas!

Take a coffee break

Let’s face it, the kids will be wringy after a couple of store visits, so drop into Dough Girls for a latte, a few hot chocolates for the kids and croissants for everyone. Feel like something super healthy, check out Freshii. If you’d like something a bit stronger, have a a few cold ones and some moules et frites at BierCraft Restaurant,” or maybe a loaded up frozen yogurt cup from Menchies. Mo one goes hungry at Wesbrook Village.

Treat Dad to a shave

Get a proper old school shave at the University Barbershop, where their motto is “a quality haircut with a nod to the golden days of barbering and a wink to today’s current trends.”

Get beautified

You might want to be kid-free for this one. Get your nails party-ready with a mani-pedi from A Perfect 10 Nail Spa right in the heart of Wesbrook Village. They offer mani-pedis, gels, nail art, waxing, and more. Plus, they have all the best Opi products in fun and creative colours.

Pick up some active gifts

Hit up The Running Room for all things running related or More Bikes for the perfect active gifts. More Bikes, a Canadian bike store that lives a breathes cycling.
