Some of you are pros and either a.) have conquered half your Christmas shopping list already, or b.) already have the perfect gift in
mind for everyone on your list.
We’re jealous. And the rest of us need a little help.
So in the spirit of holiday shopping season revving up into
full force, here’s a handful of great ways to give the gift of French Lick
Resort. (Many of which are a cinch to buy from your phone or computer.)
Give the gift of
music
Our 2020 concert series covers a wide musical spectrum, so
if someone on your list is a fan of ‘80s power ballads, classic rock or
country, one of these shows is right in their wheelhouse. Tickets are on sale
now for Air Supply (January 17). Starting Thanksgiving Day, tickets go on sale
for Grand Funk Railroad (March 14) and Clint Black (May 16). Purchase tickets
via Ticketmaster on
our website, or at the French Lick Springs Hotel front desk.
Give the gift of golf
If you’re needing to pick up a golf shirt or gear, the
current Holiday Sale at Valley Links Golf Shop has you covered.
Right now, it’s 20% off all apparel (with some items marked
down even further), 20% off all golf bags, and buy one hat and get the next one
50% off. There’s also great deals on gloves, clubs and balls. If you’re stumped
on what to get your golfer, golf balls are a practical and underrated stocking
stuffer. Golfers can never have enough of ‘em.
Just FYI, our other two golf courses are closed for the
season, so the Valley Links shop (behind French Lick Springs Hotel) is the
place to do your shopping.
Another no-fail golf gift: French Lick Resort gift cards.
They can be used for everything from lessons to club fittings to golf rounds.
If you’ve got a golfer who’s always wanted to play the Pete Dye or Donald Ross
Course but doesn’t want to spring for a round, a gift card is perfect. Who
wouldn’t want to play a course with this kind of view?
Give something to
look forward to
Chances are you don’t remember everything you unwrapped at Christmas
2018. But you never forget an experience.
Especially one that cures those post-Christmas winter blahs.
For the sweets lover in your life, tickets to the upcoming Chocolate
Fest (February 8) would be icing on the cake. It’s a wonderland of more
than 50 unique chocolate creations to sample. And it’s more than just a sugar
rush, with live entertainment, cooking/mixology demos, and an optional
Chocolate on Canvas add-on.
Or, surprise your sweetheart with a step up from your usual Valentine’s
plans. Everything’s covered at Ooh La Love: A
Valentine’s Soiree, a French-themed romantic evening February 7 at French
Lick Springs Hotel. Sit down to a three-course dinner, enjoy roaming entertainment
during your meal, and dance the night away.
Give a gift card (and
use it in tons of ways)
Why do gift cards get such a bad rap?
They’re convenient for you — French Lick Resort gift cards
can be purchased online or at either resort hotel, and they can be customized
in amount. They’re convenient for your giftee — they get to choose their own adventure
and spend it however they want, and gift cards never expire. From hotel
accommodations to spa services, it’s a fantastic way to give the gift of
travel.
Speaking of the spa, their gift shops have oodles of great
gift options, and the sale shelves in The Spa at French Lick always have a
rotating selection of marked-down items, from candles to hair products to
aromatherapy and essential oils.
Get a good deal, and
support small businesses

neighborhood, several of the independently owned shops at French Lick Springs
Hotel have holiday sales or special one-day deals for Black Friday and Small
