You know the feeling – those perfectly curated moments when the holidays are just around the corner, and you’re ready to make a statement with the gifts you give. Orlando isn’t just for theme parks, my friend. It’s a paradise for luxurious, stress-free holiday shopping. Imagine teeing off in the morning at The Bear’s Den, then slipping into a holiday shopping spree at Orlando’s finest spots, where you’re bound to find gifts as extraordinary as you are. Our blog will tell you where to shop so your loved ones will know they’re truly cherished.
Promenade at Sunset Walk
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill shopping – this is where you find pampering at Avalon Nails & Spa (opens in a new tab) and pick up a sleek new gadget at Verizon Wireless (opens in a new tab) (for that someone who’s always behind on tech). For the kiddos? Everything Lights Up (opens in a new tab) has glow-in-the-dark toys that’ll make their faces light up brighter than the holiday lights. And for that friend who’s always needing a wardrobe refresh, Skechers (opens in a new tab) is a perfect stop. Finish off the shopping escapade with a chic dinner at The Wharf (opens in a new tab) or some smoky BBQ at Lizzie’s (opens in a new tab). Only the best for you, naturally.
Disney Springs
Who says you can’t mix a little magic with your shopping spree? Head over to Disney Springs – stock up on whimsical treasures at Disney Ever After, or for something more sophisticated, head to The Art of Disney for that friend who appreciates the finer things. Looking for something adventurous? Pop into Volcom for gear that’s as bold as your next golf shot. And after a day of gifting, treat yourself to some retail therapy at ALOHA Collection – because you deserve it.
Universal CityWalk
Why not add a shopping spree to a day full of adrenaline-pumping rides at Universal Orlando Resort? At CityWalk, the kids will love the cool tees at Universal Studios Store, while you indulge your inner rock star at Hard Rock’s Rock Shop – nothing says “holiday spirit” like a little rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. And for the surfer or skater in your life, Flight Surf Shop will have them geared up for their next adventure. It’s the ultimate shopping high.
Orlando Premium Outlets
For the days when you need to get everyone on your list covered without missing your afternoon tee time, the Premium Outlets in Orlando and Lake Buena Vista are a hole-in-one. Under Armour and Foot Locker have the gear to keep the little ones active. But for the grown-ups? Let’s talk Ralph Lauren and American Eagle for that effortlessly polished look. And because you’re always jetting off to the next luxurious destination, grab a sleek suitcase from Samsonite. Finish off the day with a little bite at the food court, because the fast dining here meets your standards.
The Mall at Millennia
Darling, let’s be real – nothing says luxury like an afternoon at The Mall at Millennia. Abercrombie, Macy’s, and Forever 21 for the trendsetters in your life, and Mayors Jewelers for that sparkling little something to make your love’s eyes shine. Need new workout gear to stay sharp on the course? Athleta and JD Sports have just the thing. After all, holiday shopping should feel as effortless as sinking a birdie on the 18th.
The Florida Mall
An afternoon at The Florida Mall is all about options. You can browse Forever 21, GAP, and JCPenney to keep the family looking sharp. Helzberg Diamonds? That’s where you’ll find the perfect sparkle to say, “You’re my favorite,” without actually saying it. And, of course, a stylish lunch at Amar Orlando, Buca di Beppo, or Cantina Catrina seals the deal for a shopping day well-spent.
Orlando Farmers Market
For the times when only something unique will do, head to Orlando Farmers Market. This is where handcrafted jewelry and local art become the gifts everyone will talk about at the dinner table. And that new handbag for your sister or the kids’ cute backpacks? Easy finds. Plus, the snacks and artisanal food vendors will keep you fueled for more gift-hunting – because, as you know, even the finest shoppers need a little break.
This holiday season, why not make your shopping as unforgettable as your golf game? Orlando offers you more than just retail – it’s an experience tailored to your exquisite taste. From luxury items to one-of-a-kind finds, you’ll check off every box on your list in style. So go ahead, book your stay (opens in a new tab) at The Bear’s Den Resort Orlando, hit the links, and then hit the shops – because your loved ones deserve nothing less than perfection.
