As the festive season approaches, North Lakes residents are getting into the Christmas spirit. A lot of preparation goes into enjoying the holidays and now is the time to get organised.
North Lakes Christmas store, The Festive Emporium, is one option to help you get Christmas-ready. This local one-stop shop has everything you need to transform your home into a holiday wonderland. Whether it’s twinkling lights, beautifully crafted ornaments or a perfect festive gift, The Festive Emporium has something for everyone.
Owner Ian Dunham has lived in North Lakes with his family for over ten years and said the store was truly a family affair.
“The Festive Emporium is built on our family’s love for Christmas and our desire to offer high-quality products that help create cherished memories,” Ian said.
“You’ll often find me, my kids and even my mum in the shop during the busy lead-up to Christmas. We love sharing the joy of the season with our community.”
Tips for a Stress-Free Christmas
With Christmas just around the corner, now is the perfect time to start preparing.
Ian shared these top five festive tips:
- Don’t wait until December to get started.
- Christmas should be joyful, not stressful. Plan early and take the time to enjoy it.
- You don’t need an expensive tree with expensive ornaments to create a beautiful holiday. You can create something special without spending a fortune, just pick pieces strategically.
- If you want to create an incredible light display, start small and add more every year. In no time, you’ll have a magical display to be proud of.
- Ask for advice! Ian and the team at The Festive Emporium are happy to offer advice about how to create a festive space, whatever your budget or space.
Whether you’re hosting a big family celebration or just want to add some holiday cheer to your space, there is still plenty of time to get organised and plan a magical Christmas.
You can find The Festive Emporium at 14/47 Cook Ct, North Lakes. It is open Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, Saturday 9am-4pm, Sunday 10am-3pm. Visit them online here.
