Maybe you’re looking just over a month and a half ahead or maybe you’re buying last minute. Here are some holiday gift ideas if you’re in the Seattle area to help you with the stress of shopping. I tried to start this early this year (can you believe it’s almost the end of 2025?! I feel like it will be Christmas before I know it) as I’ve been getting emails in my inbox and spotting things when I’ve been out and about so I’ll be adding to this list as the holiday shopping season unfolds.
Seattle-ish advent calendars for 2025
Boehm’s chocolate advent calendar
If you’ve driven to the Summit at Snoqualmie Pass you’ve driven past Boehm’s chocolates. They have an advent calendar for 2025 and you can find it on their website.
Maeve chocolates advent calendar
Maeve, the company formerly known as Seattle Chocolates also has an advent calendar out this year (It might be the first one I’ve seen from them and it’s really exciting!). You can also find it on their website.
Local Experience Gifts
Space Needle Season Pass
I’m not sure if you can gift this to someone else but even as a gift for yourself, the Space Needle Season Pass seems like a fantastic idea. You get unlimited visits through the end of May 2026 as well as a bunch of local discounts and you can even use it through the holiday season. You can find more about the Space Needle Season Pass here. Also have you seen the new coffee and hand pie shop in the Space Needle?
Kraken hockey tickets
I spotted Kraken tickets at a local Costco the other day. It’s a bundle that includes two upper bowl tickets, two hot dogs and two drinks for $149. You can also find Kraken tickets on the Costco website but I think these ones are more expensive because they are for lower bowl tickets.
Cirque du Soleil Echo is coming to Seattle in the New Year
Well not exactly Seattle, but close in Redmond at Marymoor Park and tickets are on sale now. These might make a great experience gift and I love these kind of gifts because they are exciting twice: once when you find out you are going and then again when you finally go too!
