Don’t Panic—Stanley Marketplace Has Your Last-Minute Gifts Covered!

Holiday shopping can be stressful, especially if you’ve waited until the last minute. Maybe you’re a chronic procrastinator (no judgment here), or you’re simply busy, or you’re just bad at shopping. Whatever your reason for finding yourself with only days left and presents still unbought — it’s going to be okay. Stanley Marketplace is here to save the day!

Eliminate the stress and turn your last-minute shopping into an enjoyable, festive experience. On December 21 and 22, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., join us for Stanley’s Bad at Shopping event — a procrastination celebration! 

Why Stanley Marketplace?

Unlike your typical crowded mall, Stanley Marketplace offers a unique blend of local shops, one-of-a-kind finds, and a relaxed vibe that makes holiday shopping feel less like a chore and more like an adventure. 

Perks of this fun weekend include curated gift guides, in-house gift wrapping, a free drink upon entry, and festive surprises. And since this is the Stanley Marketplace, you’ll come for one thing (or a few) and end up finding a lot more. 

Here’s what’s happening this weekend:

Weekend Highlights:

  • Free Drink Upon Entry: Because we all know you can’t drink at the mall. Start your shopping journey with a little liquid courage—on us!
  • Santa’s Here! Santa will be present both days of the event, so don’t miss your chance to say hi and grab a photo!
  • Gift Wrapping Stations: Once you’ve found the perfect gifts, wrap ’em up without worrying if you have enough wrapping paper at home. Gift wrapping stations will be located throughout the marketplace for your convenience.
  • Curated Gift Guides: Not sure what to get for your boss, your foodie best friend, or that hard-to-shop-for relative? Our handy gift guides are here to help! Find curated gift ideas for each category of person and where you can find them at Stanley Marketplace.
  • Holiday Silent Disco: On Saturday, December 21, cap off your shopping spree with a Holiday Silent Disco from 4-7 p.m. 
  • Live Music: Enjoy festive tunes as you shop! On Saturday, December 21, Ye Wanton Singers will perform carols from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and on Sunday, December 22, Reunited Acapella will bring their harmonies from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
