Apparel
For all the skiers and snowboarders in your life, there’s no shortage of sports stores to pick up gear for friends and family to don this season.
If you’re abroad and want to give your families a taste of the Sun Peaks lifestyle, John Tod Trading Co. has logo wear and souvenirs to connect them to the area.
This isn’t the only place to get clothes representative of Sun Peaks, with Sun Peaks labels on all Sneaky Scallywags’ apparel options.
This business, owned by Jeff Martin, is known for high-quality pajamas, with designs in a variety of sizes to fit the whole family for adorable photo ops.
“Hatley does all the matching PJs,” he explained as SPIN visited the store this November. “Today alone, I did three matching families for PJs.”
Among a large selection of pajamas, you’ll find toys and stuffed animals available for purchase as well.
Tasty treats
Pajamas aren’t all you can find at Sneaky Scallywags, with its significant collection of unique candy beyond what’s found in a regular gas station.
Among these, there are surprise bags filled with different candies for discovery upon opening, saltwater taffy, jellybeans, Haribo gummies and more.
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is also a good place to pick something up for the sweet tooth in your life.
Before or after strolling the village, take a gander down the road at Ohana Market and Deli, stocked with goodies for the holiday season. According to the owner Bobbe Lyall, this includes 50 different cheeses from local and international suppliers, gift boxes with assorted jams, mustards and charcuterie jellies, wellness teas from Lemon Lilly and a vast selection of cakes, cookies, chocolate and candy.
