Get First Dibs on Holiday Shopping in Downtown Edmonds!
Circle Saturday, November 21 on your calendar, do some stretches, plan a warm-up happy hour, and sort out childcare if you’re in that specific life era, because you’re busy from 5-8pm. Downtown Edmonds is kicking off the holiday season with exclusive shopping specials, wine pours, one-bite snacks, and as much holly jolly as you can handle.
First Dibs, our annual holiday shopping kick-off, is here, and it’s all happening Downtown. Keep scrolling for all the merry details.
The Shopping
Get gifts for everyone on your list, especially yourself. Peruse the latest holiday collections and snag the must-haves before everyone else crawls out of their post-Thanksgiving turkey coma. Pick up something for the teacher, the neighbor, the in-laws, and that special person in your life who always says they don’t want anything (they do).
Most of the shops participating this year have something extra up their sleeves: a gift with purchase, a snack, live music, or a chance to win something pretty sweet. Here’s a taste of what to expect:
Anchor Chic Consignment: Snag a gift with purchase while enjoying a craft night. Come for the treasure hunt and stay for the creativity.

The Wine
Pinkies up, Edmonds! You can sip and shop at many of our participating boutiques and downtown destinations this year. Each Wine Stop will pour locally curated wines in a commemorative wine glass.
Edmonds is not exactly Las Vegas, so your wine stays at the stop where you pour it. Tickets must be purchased before the party, and you can grab yours here. Net proceeds go to the holiday needs of Washington Kids. Shops and sips feel even better when they’re helping a great cause.
You can purchase one, two, three or four wine tickets to go with your collectible glass. Here’s the ticket breakdown:
One 4oz pour at any Wine Stop and one festive collectible glass: $21
Two 4oz pours at any Wine Stop and one festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops): $30
Three 4oz pours at any Wine Stop and one festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops): $38
Four 4oz pours at any Wine Stop and one festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops): $46
Check in at Ombu Salon starting at 4:45pm to pick up your wine glass, tickets, wristband, and list of participating shops. Limited tickets will be sold onsite, first come, first served. And bring your ID! For what it’s worth, you don’t look a day over 29.
Get Your Shop On
Take us shopping with you, virtually! You don’t even have to spend money on us to do it. Just add #edmondsholidays to your posts, and we’ll find you (and cheers to you) online.
