9 December 2024
The holiday season is fast approaching, and while the sound of sleigh bells may already be ringing, there’s no need to panic if you’re not quite prepared yet. Bowden has everything you need to make this festive season unforgettable, from unique gifts to delicious food and festive events.
Here’s your ultimate guide to shopping, eating, and celebrating locally this Christmas.
Christmas Gifts Galore
The Christmas Gift Market THIS WEEKEND
Mark your calendars! This Sunday December 15, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Plant 4 Bowden will transform into a Christmas wonderland. The market will spill over into Bowden Park, featuring an incredible lineup of Adelaide’s finest local creators. From handmade crafts to one-of-a-kind treasures, you’re sure to find something for everyone on your list!
There’ll also be live music, with performances by the Park Choir and other local talents, and a special visit from Santa himself between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Don’t miss this chance to shop local and make your gift-giving extra special this year.
True SA Pride
There’s nothing more iconically South Australian than the range at The Tea Towel Co. Not only do they have tea towels (obviously), they have candles, wall art, puzzles, jewellery and more, all of which proudly and quirkily represents the best things about SA.
Plants for the Green Thumbs
If someone on your list has a love for greenery, head to Potted Thoughts. Their stunning plant selection is perfect for gifting, and they’re hosting a Christmas Plant Sale at Plant 3 on Sunday December 15, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Give the gift of greenery and health this season!
