Top 4 last-minute gift ideas

Christmas is just around the corner. If you're like me, absorbed in the hectic pace of work and family life, you haven't had time to finish your shopping. Don't panic, I've put together a list to help you find the last gifts to put under the tree.

1- A sensational experience

Let's face it, offering an experience that matches your recipient's personality is always a winner. For those with a wanderlust, offer to defy the laws of gravity in the iFLY tunnel, climb the themed climbing walls at Clip 'n Climb, let loose on the trampolines at iSaute, play minigolf in the fluorescent world of Putting Edge or play a game of indoor Laser Tag at Zone 15.

For those who like to be pampered and pampered, give the gift of a wellness break such as a body wrap, microdermabrasion to brighten the complexion, firm and smooth the skin, a facial or hot pebble massage at Amerispa or a beauty package, manicure or pedicure.

Finally, for those who like their heads in the clouds, offer them the chance to take the controls of a Boeing 737 for a colorful virtual trip to one of the 24,000 airports at AeroSim Expérience. F-16 enthusiasts will also be delighted with the two Fighting Falcon simulators. It promises to be!

2- A gourmet surprise

It's always nice to have something to put in your mouth! And in Laval, there's no shortage of places to find products to tantalize the taste buds. Stop by and pick up a bottle of Château Taillefer Lafon.

Another idea that could make a splash: a product from the gourmet store À la boîte à fleurs. And why not add a bouquet of flowers for the ultimate gift!

3- A mysterious exit

For lovers of puzzles and secrets, organize an outing to one of Laval's escape game centers. Will you become an accomplished thief by robbing a bank at Escaparium? Or will you manage to get your hands on the reward for La Station oubliée at Immersia ? Will you find the English Colonel's treasures at The Secret Cube? Whichever scenario you choose, you're sure to put your logic to the test, and who knows? Maybe you'll discover unsuspected resources in your surroundings.

4- A glamorous gift

Who doesn't love a glamorous gift? With its 300 stores and boutiques, CF Carrefour Laval is the destination par excellence for finding a gift that will charm your sweetheart or any other person dear to you. Take a tour of the world-renowned stores. You can, for example, find sexy underwear or a perfume at Victoria's Secret, a high-quality leather bag at Coach, a watch, bracelet or ring at Michael Kors, a fountain pen at the Montblanc boutique or earrings made with crystals at Swarovski.

Less stress? I hope so. All that's left now is to organize our time and set off on our adventure.

Happy shopping and happy holidays!

Château Taillefer Lafon and À la boîte à fleurs are part of the Saveurs de Laval repertoire.
