Whistler Wrap-Up: The Travel Gift
Being good parents Josh and I looked high and low to find gifts for Jacob and Jefferson. I mean, what parents can go somewhere fun and not bring back a fun gift? Whistler has lots of shops and many of them have “knick-knack” type souvenirs. Those aren’t going to work for us. Lucky for us Whistler is hosting the downhill events for the 2010 Winter Olympics. The shopping village has a huge store dedicated to everything Olympic. They have successfully branded more than you can imagine and unsuccessfully branded things you can’t imagine. It didn’t take us long to find the perfect gifts for the boys, the furry Olympic mascots. Here are pictures:
Jacob’s “Quatchi”:
Jeffer’s “Sumi”:
The boy’s immediately took to them. Jacob even took his to school the first day.
