Holiday Gift Guide: FOR THE FAMILY

FOR THE KIDS

Generally speaking, kids are pretty easy to shop for, but even they might baffle you once in a while. You can find games, puzzles, toys at Arrow Wood Games as well as The Squamish Store (along with other goodies like Squamish merch and clothing). Or how about an unforgettable experience they’ll never forget?

Kids of all ages will have a blast burning off energy with a gift certificate for a future experience at Airhouse Squamish or The Ninja Gym. A day at the Britannia Mine Museum provides an opportunity for learning AND fun. If all else fails – ICE CREAM. Every kid loves ice cream, so a gift card or outing for Alice & Brohm real fruit ice cream will hit the spot.

FOR MOM

Let’s face it, all the moms out there deserve the world. A lovely piece of jewellery or some pottery from the Squamish Store is a good start. Or what about the chance to go shopping with her choice of buying fashion or function at Urban Alpine? She’d surely welcome a beautiful bottle of wine, picked out from the carefully curated selection at  El Dorado Liquor Store. For the Moms that need a little self-care moment, a forest bathing tour with Caracopia Tours, or session at Plunge Wellness or Breathworks Studio would likely be much appreciated.

FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

The global movement of ‘experiences over things’ is a trend that isn’t going to go away. Experiences are proven to give more long-term joy, and the memories they create are something that your family will treasure for a lifetime. Take the whole family on the epic 'Via Ferrata' tour with Mountain Skills Academy, an experience no one will every forget! Or consider a family membership and outing to the Olympic Park, Britannia Mine Museum or the Sea to Sky Gondola to support these awesome local attractions.      

FOR THE GIVERS

Giving back to our community is the best way to celebrate the season of giving, and Squamish has some amazing charitable partners that would benefit from your help. Consider a donation to the Railway Museum of BC, Friends of Cheakamus, or Second Chance Cheekye Ranch Horse Rescue. The Eagle Watch Interpreter Program needs donations for their Eagle Education programs for school groups and seniors, conservation and protection programs. SORCA trail passes also make great stocking stuffers.

FOR THE PERSON THAT HAS EVERYTHING

What a treat for that special person in your life that has it all - the chance to experience Squamish from the sky via helicopter. Both Blackcomb Helicopters and Black Tusk Helicopters have spectacular heli-adventures such as heli-biking, heli-hiking and sightseeing experiences. A heli-ski day with Phantom Heli or a tour of the alpine with Sea to Sky Air are both unforgettable experiences.
