It's the holiday season, full of merriment, cheer, and searching for the perfect gift for loved ones. Whether big or small, Kelowna has plenty of fantastic gift ideas—here are some you can choose from using the #exploreKelowna Local Savings Pass, delighting the receiver, saving you a bit of money, and giving you the chance to win a monthly prize. 


Activities and Experiences 

Damara Day Spa

Kelowna's four-season playground means all sorts of activities and experiences can be gifted for use throughout the year.

Give the gift of indulgence with Damara Day Spa at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort's Local Savings Pass offer of 20% off the Pure Heaven Package or 20% off Signature Deluxe Facial. La Bella Spa is also offering a $5 discount on any individual service. 

Spending time with loved ones to take in an experience will create long-lasting memories. Experience the best of winter by planning a day at Meadow Vista Honey Wines, where you can get $10 off a 1-hour snow e-bike experience hosted by Lakeside Eco-Sports, or head out on the town with a stop at Chances Casino, where you can receive $15 free play on slots or tables. Want to incorporate wine tasting into your adventures? Several area wineries—Grizzli Winery, Intrigue Wines, Priest Creek, Quails' Gate Estate Winery, Sandhill Wines, and The View Winery, to be specific—have included tasting offers as part of the Local Savings Pass. 

If you've got little ones on your list, why not plan an afternoon of fun? You can use the Local Savings Pass to receive 20 free arcade credits when you purchase two laser tag games at Planet Lazer Kelowna. 


Local Goods

Kelowna Visitor Centre Retail Program
Kelowna Visitor Centre (December 2020). 

The Tourism Kelowna Visitor Centre is jam-packed with locally made or inspired goods and art. You'll find apparel, food and drink items, sustainable products, children's books sharing stories from the syilx Okanagan people, and so much more. For every $50 you spend in-store, you'll receive a $10 gift card to use online at loveforkelowna.com, which you can gift or use to treat yourself. 

More artwork can be found near the centre at Art Lovers Gallery—first-time buyers will receive 5% off their first piece of artwork purchased (before tax), so you can pick out something for that special person on your list. 

For host gifts or stocking stuffers, take advantage of 15% off wine purchases at Priest Creek or 15% off takeaway 4-pack cans at Kettle River Brewing.
