Tourism Richmond embraces the ‘season of sharing’ with two exciting contests
Richmond, BC, Canada (December 9, 2010) – If you’re bored of all the standard shopping locales in your neighbourhood, Tourism Richmond has the answer – come and explore Richmond’s three unique shopping districts this holiday season and let us pay the bills. Enter online at shoppinginrichmond.com to win a $1,000 prepaid VISA gift card.
Then, after finding the perfect something for everyone on your gift list, treat yourself by entering to win one of four exclusive, fun-filled Richmond getaway packages at allinrichmond.com. The vacation packages – titled Olympic Connections, Culinary & Culture, Tall Ships and Taste of Asia – are themed around four of Richmond’s signature products and each include a three-night stay for two adults and up to two children, as well as $2,000 toward airfare or car rentals, kid-friendly activities, spending money and other extras. Both contests run from now until December 31, 2010.
Richmond is the perfect holiday shopping destination with abundant free parking, international shopping options and easy access from downtown Vancouver via the Canada Line rapid transit system. Shoppers have the choice of three distinct shopping districts: the Historic Fishing Village of Steveston, the Asian-inspired Golden Village, and the bustling City Centre. Find a list of some Richmond shops at allinrichmond.com/shopping.
Steveston Village
Gift-givers on the hunt for truly original finds should make their first stop Steveston in the southwest corner of Richmond. The historic village’s funky boutiques, galleries and jewellery shops are filled with locally crafted goodies.
Golden Village
For shopping with an Asian twist – including goodies you won’t find in a typical mall like Chinese-style outdoor lanterns, Feng Shui décor and herbal teas – visit Richmond’s Golden Village. Holiday shoppers will find the perfect stocking stuffers among the $2 treasures at the famous two-story Japanese Daiso Store at Aberdeen Centre, which carries everything from origami paper and sake gift sets to pet accessories and kitchen gadgets.
City Centre
Richmond’s City Centre is where to find all the leading Western brands in the 370+ shops and services at Lansdowne Centre and Richmond Centre malls, including international chain stores selling electronics, fashions, furnishing, home décor and more. Richmond Centre is also home to the newly-opened Sephora high-end cosmetics shop as well as specialty tea retailer Teopia and Metro Vancouver’s third Apple Store location. Parents shopping with young children will especially enjoy Santa’s 38 Elves who roam the aisles at Richmond Centre handing out collectable Elf trading cards to children and hosting ‘School of Christmas’ sessions to teach Richmond’s newest residents all about West Coast Christmas traditions.
For more gift ideas that can only be found in Richmond, become a Facebook fan of Tourism Richmond to receive the “12 days of Richmond” daily alerts. Every day for the first 12 days of December, shoppers will be sent tips on where to shop for truly out-of-the-box gift ideas.
