Rejoice and Rejuvenate
Self-care isn’t just a buzz word, it’s an important part of staying healthy. Giving the gift of a little time out to restore a sense of calm is always well-received.
If you have a new mom on your gift list, Body Motion Physical Therapy has a Mom Restoration Package, “for the mom in your life who always takes care of others and never makes time for herself. This is like a massage on steroids and is designed to not only make her feel great but create long-lasting change so she isn’t plagued by the stiffness, aches and pains that could be slowing her down.” The package includes remedies for everything from back pain, neck aches, to pesky pelvic floor issues. They tell us this is the gift that will change her life and have her enjoying more balance and energy.
A perennial favorite on many wish lists each year is massage. And Apple Catha Massage is one of the most popular massage therapists in Edmonds, offering “blissful massage in the heart of downtown Edmonds”. Right now you can receive $10 off the purchase of a gift certificate when you use the promo code DTED10 at https://squareup.com/gift/
Your purchase is handled online and seamlessly delivered by email. There is no limit, so feel free to get a massage for yourself. With all the hubbub of the busy holiday season, we think you deserve it!

Wish them Wellness
With winter in full swing, combined with the stress many feel this time of year, the gift of wellness is a thoughtful one.

Love and Light
Rogue is stocked this season with a wide variety of candles which make fantastic last minute hostess gifts, Secret Santa selections, and can be the ideal purchase for that person on your list who seems to have everything.
They carry the delightfully-scented Capri Blue Candles – including festive sparkly ones in red and green. For that person on your list with a wicked sense of humor, make sure to check out the line from local Malicious Women Candle Co.
Add Pep to their Step
Walnut Street Coffee has an excellent selection of popular Miir and Hydroflask travel mugs perfect for the person on the go! Great for commuters, teachers, and, well, really everyone. And when they bring them in for a fill up, they receive $.25 off their purchase. And to stay extra cozy, pick up a Walnut Street hoodie to sport on these chilly winter days.
From Greensleeves to Green Thumbs

For the Well-Styled (Santa) Baby
If you’ve got a little one to shop for, you need to stop in to Little Bipsy. They have a huge variety of darling baby items as well as fun gifts for women, new parents, and even grandparents. The products are all thoughtfully developed not only for maximum style but with optimal quality in mind. Plus, the tiny shoes there are so adorable they are worth a visit by themselves!
Experience the Joy
Increasingly popular, experiential gifts create memories that last long after the wrapping paper is eagerly ripped open.
For the budding musician, give the gift of Music Together classes at Alley Bell Music to your little one! Music Together classes are mixed age (0-5) and are a “full music immersion experience for you and your little ones through the use of song, rhythmic chant, instrument play, and movement activities.”
The classes are non-performance based and help children develop musical understanding via play. Contact Sarah Richàrd at alleybellmusic@gmail.com to purchase a gift certificate in any increment.
The gift of creativity is something anyone of any age can enjoy! A gift certificate from Glazed and Amazed makes a wonderful experiential gift. You can buy a gift certificate for your school-age children to paint their own creation during Winter Break, or gift it to the grandparents for a date with their grandchildren, or use for a fun date with your sweetie. Check out their calendar of upcoming classes, too.
And don’t forget the free holiday trolley runs the next two Saturdays from 11am to 6pm. Hop aboard and be whisked through downtown to visit all of our retailers! For a complete list of everything to see in downtown Edmonds, visit http://edmondsdowntown.org/.
