Local shopping and festive activities in Seven Oaks.
By Thanksgiving, the gift list already has a growing list of names on it: the coworker, the December birthday, the friend who watched your pup over the weekend, and maybe the kid who discovered skating over the summer. This year, we invite you to clear your list while getting to know your neighbors; it’s time to shop local!
Food and treats: At Grand Island Village, Dewar’s Express is the classic Bakersfield stop, and a box of the iconic peppermint chews ships anywhere easily! For a local friend, add a gift card to Sequoia Sandwich Co. at The Shoppes at Seven Oaks Business Park, and give them a reason to become a regular.
Flowers and home: At Belcourt Village, a bouquet and candle from Flowerbar cover the December birthday or centerpiece for the table. Add an extra candle for the friend who watched your furry friend over the weekend; it’s easy to solve when the person ringing you up already knows your go-tos.
Clothing and accessories: While you’re at Belcourt Village, an Apricot Lane gift card works for the friend who books everyone else’s holiday adventures and nothing for herself; it’s time for her closet refresh.
Gear and hobbies: At Grand Island Village, Intuition Skate Shop carries inline skates, roller skates, and protective gear for every experience level, so a first set and a replacement set of wheels come from the local spot.
And just like that, a few stops around Seven Oaks and suddenly several names are checked off the list without a trip across town or another box arriving on the doorstep.
Each of these businesses is part of a Bolthouse Properties neighborhood center, and showing up for them this holiday means supporting people you already know, or are about to. That familiarity is at the core of what Bolthouse Properties is creating at Seven Oaks: a community where you are known.
Shopping locally is only one way to connect this season. As the holidays get underway, there are a few more opportunities to gather, celebrate, and support the businesses that make Seven Oaks feel like home.
November 28: Small Business Saturday at any of the Bolthouse Properties centers. Shop your favorite businesses throughout Seven Oaks.
December 2: Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at Belcourt Village, another chance to see familiar faces before the season gets busy.
December 5: Holiday Pop Up Shop at The Shoppes at Seven Oaks Business Park, where you can shop local makers and small businesses for those last few names on your list.
