THE villages of Mt Dandenong have Christmas all wrapped up.
Shoppers can avoid the agony of finding a park and battling the crowds at the shopping centres and find everything they need for Christmas locally, in the villages of Mt Dandenong.
To make it even easier, shops in the villages will be open until 8pm on the last three Thursdays before Christmas giving shoppers time to browse without the crowds.
Hills locals looking for unique gifts for their family and friends can find it all on their doorstep – retro fashions and footwear; gifts from around the world; magical gems, jewellery and books; teas and tea ware; body and bath products; daywear and nightwear; wools and woollens; furniture and antiques; jewellery, handbags and accessories; scented candles; unique stationery; beautifully crafted glassware; and a myriad of toys for the little ones.
For family and friends that are foodies the villages have unique local and regional produce that shoppers won’t get in the shopping centres.
If they like to dabble in the kitchen, a gift voucher for cooking or chocolate making classes could be perfect. Shoppers who need to buy that special bottle of wine or just stock up for Christmas celebrations will find exactly what they need in the villages – from that unique wine to impress and boutique beers, to the everyday gluggers to get your party going.
Give the gift of relaxation and pampering at the beautiful accommodation in the villages, offering Christmas gift vouchers to suit all budgets.
Give the treat that many people would not think to give themselves – throw in a massage voucher as well and make it the ultimate gift. Catch up with friends before Christmas at one of the wonderful restaurants and cafes in the villages. From a casual lunch to a special dinner, there is something to suit all occasions.
Wrap up Christmas locally this year. Shoppers who can’t find the perfect gift can buy a gift voucher at their favourite place. Visit www.villagesofmtdandenong.com.au or pick up a Villages Map at the info points in Olinda and Sassafras for more information on shops, accommodation and restaurants in the villages.
