The Perfect Holiday Pair: City Flowers + TRUCE Spa

Some parts of holiday shopping are magical — twinkling lights, warm drinks, the fun of finding something that feels just right.

And then there are the crowded parking garages, long lines, and the feeling that you’re somehow behind before you even begin.

Here’s a softer approach.

Right in the heart of Bellevue, City Flowers and TRUCE Spa sit just a short stroll apart, and together they create a holiday shopping day that actually feels enjoyable. Think: cozy boutique browsing, a little pampering, and thoughtful gifts you’ll feel proud to give. All without the overwhelm.

A Warm, Boutique Holiday Moment at City Flowers

If you’ve ever stepped into City Flowers, you know it has a way of pulling you right in. The space is warm, a little whimsical, and filled with high-end gifts you don’t usually see anywhere else: candles you’ll want to light the moment you get home, beautifully curated holiday décor, and clever little finds that make you think, Oh, this is perfect for them.

It’s the kind of shop where you end up checking off multiple people on your list without even trying — teachers, neighbors, coworkers, hosts, family. And because everything is so thoughtfully selected, you can walk out with gifts that feel personal, not last-minute.

It’s holiday browsing at its best — warm, cozy, and full of personality.

Then Let the Day Unwind at TRUCE

After wandering through the boutique, you’re just moments away from a spa escape upstairs at TRUCE. No big production. No full-day commitment. Just a tranquil, grounding pause during a season that asks a lot from you.

A massage releases the week you’ve been carrying.
A facial brings back that rested, bright-from-within holiday glow.
Or simply relaxing in the lounge with warm tea can feel like its own treat.

And while you’re here, you can finish up part of your shopping list — TRUCE’s retail area is filled with beautiful skincare, body care, and wellness gifts. Guests often pick up Eminence or Epicuren favorites, luxe spa candles, or one of our gift cards (always a loved, last-minute lifesaver).

It’s effortless gifting: a little something for them, a little restoration for you.

Why These Two Spots Work So Well Together

Both places create a moment that feels thoughtful and elevated — without being fussy.
Both help you slow down instead of speed up.
And both make holiday gifting feel more personal, less transactional.

It’s the kind of pairing that turns a regular afternoon into something special.

Make This December Smoother, Softer, and More Enjoyable

If your calendar is already filling fast, carve out a holiday errand that gives back to you, too. Wander through City Flowers’ cozy boutique, then let TRUCE be the part of the day where you breathe again — and maybe cross a few gifts off your list while you’re at it.

This year, holiday shopping doesn’t have to be stressful.
It can be warm, restorative, and a little luxurious — the way the season should feel. 

Book your moment of calm and plan your holiday escape.
