The gift of time
Sometimes you have people on your list who don't "need" anything — except more time in their day! How can you help them achieve that? Perhaps by gifting them a service that saves them time -- such as housecleaning, yard work, painting, or a car detail. Here are some local Chestermere and Langdon businesses that offer those types of services:
- Everything But Time - Sarah Jane offers concierge services including personal shopping, grocery shopping and errands. She'll even wrap presents!
- Lake City Delivery - Personal shopping and delivery
- Phantom Automotive - full vehicle detailing services
- Cinderella Cleaning - who doesn't want the gift of a clean house??
- Sticky's Maintenance Services - Snow removal for Langdon
- Affordable Projects Solutions - Snow removal for Chestermere & areas
The gift of self-care
Many of us are often so busy we forget to take time to care for ourselves. This has especially been true for parents during COVID who are juggling so much! A gift certificate for a spa treatment, a massage, a pedicure, or a hair appointment might be just the push they need to take a few hours for themselves and recharge. Here are some great spots in {Town} that offer these types of services, along with gift cards for the holidays:
- The Lakeshore Spa - gift cards available
- Laser Towne - gift cards available
- Sugar Mama Body Sugaring - gift cards available
- Bath Bomb Envy - delivery available
The gift of experience
A gift certificate to a Chestermere or Langdon restaurant for a date night, a membership to a local Calgary museum for the family, a season pass for kids — experience gifts might come in a small package but might be their favourite holiday gift this season. Plus your purchase will help our local restaurants, nonprofits, and businesses with cash flow during this difficult year. Here are some great experience gift ideas in Chestermere, Langdon and Calgary:
- Cobb's Adventure Park - Season passes available soon
- Graze Away YYC - Chestermere luxe charcuterie and grazing tables
