Local Love List: Snow Tubing, Chocolate Tasting and More!

December 4, 2020 By Kari Leave a Comment

Hidden gems, cool local products, and unique events in the Edmonton area.
Here’s what’s on your Local Love List this week!

The Local Love List is published the first Friday of every month at KariSkelton.com.
Thank you for continuing to read my blog, and supporting my small business!

Local Love List-1

DIY Tourtière Kit

  • Chartier restaurant in Beaumont always has cool stuff going on. You can now order a DIY tourtière kit for pickup. Each kit contains 1L of spiced meat filling (made with confit duck from Four Whistle Farms, ground bison from Thundering Ground Bison Ranch, and ground pork from Irvings Farm), fresh pie dough (enough for top and bottom of a standard 10” pie plate), and a 10” aluminium pie plate. Put your order in here. They also do fresh mulled wine kits!

Local Love List-2

Toys For Kids In Need

  • The Mustard Seed is hosting it’s annual Family Gift Centre for those in need. The $2 toy store will allow parents and guardians facing poverty to select and purchase gifts for their children this Christmas. The goal of The Mustard Seed’s Family Gift Centre is to empower parents and caregivers to shop with dignity for their children. The pop-up shop runs December 8 and 9. Donations can be dropped off before December 9th at 10568 114 St. NW, Monday – Friday, 9-5 p.m. Details here.

Local Love List-3

Winter Wonder Forest

  • A brand new drive-thru Christmas lights experience! The Winter Wonder Forest kicks off later this month at Snow Valley. 15,000 sq feet of the campground will be transformed into a holiday light display you can enjoy from the warmth of your vehicle. Car passes are $30 and time slots are booked by the half-hour. All the details here.

Local Love List-4

Snow Tubing

  • There’s a brand new tube park opened in Edmonton’s river valley! You can reserve your spot at The Tube Park (by The Edmonton Ski Club) Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. During the holidays (December 21-January 4) it’s open every day. There’s even a conveyor belt that takes you back to the top! Book in here.

Local Love List-5

Local Love List-8

2020 Bloom Box

  • Fabloomosity’s latest Bloom Box is perfect for 2020, wouldn’t you say? Available in several different colours and filled with succulents, flowers, and just the right amount of aromatherapy. They do contactless delivery and pickup. Order yours here. 

$300 Giveaway

  • Here are two local shops I just discovered and totally adore! I’ve teamed up with Zen Lion Design (custom affordable loungewear) and Shop Confidence Club (size-inclusive athleisure line) for a giveaway worth approx. $300! One winner will get a set from Zen Lion Design and a set from Shop Confidence Club! Go here to enter. 

Drop-In Work Space

  • If you only need a once-in-a-while office and you’re not too keen on sitting in a coffee shop during COVID, this is your answer. Creative Hive co-working space has drop-in option! For $40 a day you can drop in and get some work done with fast WIFI, printing access, and coffee and tea included. The max number of people allowed in (right now) is 15 (2300 square ft room), everyone is masked, social distanced, hand sanitizer everywhere etc. They also have more permanent office options. Check them out here.

Winter Patios

  • If you missed it last month, I rounded up the Best Winter Patios in Edmonton. Check out the list here. 

Mail Stickers

  • Loving these pretty Happy Mail Stickers from Spruce + Sky! A nice little addition to those holiday packages you’re sending. Order yours here.

Edmonton Bricks

  • How amazing are these heritage-inspired bricks by Ryspot?! Made from concrete to prop up your books, hold up your papers, or just add some local love to your home! Other cities are available too. Shop here. 

New At KariSkelton.com

  • Give that $3 Dollarama mug a little makeover, and make it dishwasher safe! This DIY Christmas mug makes for a great Christmas gift, too. Get the DIY here.

  • Here are seven Christmas Cocktail Cart Styling tips along with links to shop mini holiday banners, the best twinkle lights, and the coolest cocktail shaker! Find the tips here.

Choose the one you can't live without. That cares Choose the one you can't live without. That cares enough to put in the work every day - especially when it 'aint so pretty. That fights for the life you've built together. The one that's willing to grow in new ways together and open their mind and heart to new possibilities.

You're the one I want to go through all the times with - the good and the tough, the happy and sad. Thank you for being the guy that folds all of our laundry and respects that I don't want you to wash mine. 😄 Thank you for changing the garbages - cause you know I hate it. Thank you for building us epic fires in the summer and making THE BEST popcorn ever. ❤️ Thanks for watching The Bachelor with me (and providing hilarious commentary throughout). Thanks for being a gentle parent with our kiddos. ❤️❤️❤️

To the love of my life, my partner in life, and greatest Daddy - Happy 14th!
