With the holidays just a few weeks away, now's the best time to start your holiday baking, planning and shopping. Luckily, Best Western Plus Rose City Suites is located near some fabulous shopping spots. Don’t limit yourself to shopping centres, Niagara has a number of craft shows almost every weekend! 

Craft shows are a great way of supporting local small businesses during the holidays. With a large variety of vendors you're sure to find the perfect gift for everyone from homemade snacks and sweets, to holiday decor like a frazzled snowman, crochet creations like gnomes, hats, gloves and mittens, with each vendor pouring their passion into their work. One that is open every Thursday - Sunday until December 22nd, is the Country Christmas Store. Look them up, the little place is full of great gift ideas, and you can even stop in, with reservations most days, and have a hot bowl of soup, a sandwich and a scone for dessert!
