Turn up the holiday cheer with 12 Days of Downtown in Vancouver

Nothing injects a little extra holiday cheer into the season like exclusive discounts and festive promotions, which is why Downtown Van is partnering with local businesses to do just that.

From Dec. 1 to 12, 12 Days of Downtown is offering special deals and exciting giveaways with each new day in the city.

Here’s a sneak peek inside all of the savings and festive fun that await.

Drool-worthy deals

Who doesn’t love saving money? With sweet discounts at some of your favourite downtown businesses, you can get gifts and services for yourself and loved ones. Buckle up, because there’s a bunch.

For the full 12 days, you can enjoy 15 per cent off a hair colour, cut, or blowout, or receive a free gift set when you book an appointment at Suki’s Downtown with the code DOWNTOWNVAN.

Meanwhile, Dipt Kicks is offering 25 per cent off Vancity Original when you shop in-store, and Obsessions has 15 per cent off all regular-priced items, minus Jellycats.

Prefer the gift of an experience? The Vancouver Art Gallery is offering its Ideas Membership for $99, down from $125, which includes unlimited admission and various discounts throughout the year.

And if you’re getting a head start on your New Year’s resolutions, you can save $5 on your first order of supplements and health food from the Body Energy Club app with the code DTVAN5, but only on Dec. 6 and 7.

Right up until Dec. 23, you can also take advantage of 20 per cent off service appointments and 10 per cent off regular-priced gear at Cycle City.

Bonus cash abounds

We’re a big fan of deals that offer bonus cards. After all, if we’re already spending the cash, getting a little something extra is basically free money – right?

From Dec. 1 to Dec. 12, you can get a $5 gift card when you spend more than $25 at Nami Vietnamese’s cafe location, and a $15 bonus card on gift card purchases above $50 at CENTRAL Restaurant.

Freebies and giveaways

Adulthood should have more opportunities to win prizes – or heck, even just free stuff – and 12 Days of Downtown certainly delivers.

Throughout the 12-day promotion, you can enjoy a complimentary sparkling wine with your meal at Desi Indian Lounge when you mention the Downtown Van promotion, or head down to Cafeclub on Dec. 10 for a free North Pole Matcha. And while Barry’s Annual Sale is taking place, you can enter to win a 5-class pass and a complimentary shake by keeping an eye on the Downtown Van Instagram page.

As if that wasn’t enough, in anticipation of shopping ‘til you drop, CF Pacific Centre is giving you two hours of free parking with the purchase of over $350 from Monday to Friday until Dec. 18.

Take care of all your holiday shopping and treat yourself in the process by checking out all the deals and festivities taking place during 12 Days of Downtown in downtown Vancouver.
