Last minute Christmas idea locations in Kelowna

The last few days before Dec. 25 can be the busiest of the holiday season. Filled with travel, family arrivals, cooking and baking, and of course, last minutes gift shopping. Kelowna’s malls will definitely be packed until the end of the year, which means the main roads will be gridlocked as well.

Alchemy:

• Local artisanal shop with candles, fragrances, home decor, and jewellery.
