It is holiday (and contest!) time. The cookie exchanges have started. Our calendars are filling with parties. The trees are getting decorated.

Here at Used.ca, we are trying to focus on enjoying the experiences that the season brings instead of the stuff! So our staff have provided their recommendations for experience gift-giving ideas and suggestions for things to do with your family over the break (if you are lucky enough to get one!).

Even better? This week, we will give away each of our staff gift picks to one of our awesome Used.ca fans! Starting Monday December 11th, 2017, we will be choosing a winner EVERY day for one of our favourite gift giving ideas. The contest will be super simple, all you have to do is be following our facebook page here and participate in the contests when you see them!

Here are our TOP four gift ideas recommended by our staff!

Nicki recommends you grab a Victoria Royals Holiday Pack!

David loves catching a movie at Landmark Cinemas!

Scott takes his daughter to Ballet Victoria’s “The Gift” each season!

Dustin doesn’t let holiday goodies stop him from enjoying Empire donuts!
