Valentine’s Day Shopping Suggestion List!

With all the boutique shops, spas and specialty food stores here in the Hills of Headwaters, shopping for that truly special Valentine’s Day gift is not only easy, its fun!

To tempt the palate we suggest a visit to Deborah’s Chocolates or What’s Cookin’ in Erin, Gourmandissimos Fine Foods in Caledon East or The Chocolate Shop in Orangeville.  Purchasing lingerie for your gal or guy is made easy with the personalized service provided at the Scented Drawer in Orangeville, Mille Notte Lingerie in Bolton, or Minerva’s Spa & Boutique in Erin.

If art is your language of love, tickets to Theatre Orangeville, the Century Church Theatre, or the Orangeville Concert Series are great gift choices.  The Hills of Headwaters is also home to a fabulous collection of studio artists and galleries offering almost every medium of fine art. If you’re after that perfect sparkle to say “I Love You” visit Korsten Jewellers or Gallery Gemma.

For those who prefer to give an experience, we suggest a spa treatment.  Each of our Headwaters spas offers a unique experience from the quaint charm of a country day spa to the full service of resort or inn.  Choose from an exotic list of treatments with name like Golden Caviar Facial, Organic Chocolate Body Wrap, and Sea Flower Kur.  And of course, any of our fine restaurants would also make a great choice for a mouth-watering dining experience.
