Wednesday 1 December saw the start of the Fleurieu App’s 12 Days of Christmas celebration, which showcases 12 amazing local suppliers with wonderful giveaways.

App users have the chance to win $2000 worth of prizes by clicking the WIN button, where a new prize is revealed on each of the 12 days.

This Sunday Profile introduces the businesses who have provided prizes for the first six days of Christmas.

They share with us what they love about the Fleurieu App and what you can expect from their businesses for the Christmas period.

Day One’s supplier is Aldinga Central Shopping Centre. Centre Manager Charlotte Taylor says the community atmosphere that the Fleurieu App brings to all is very special, keeping everyone updated on the ins and outs of this stunning area.

“December is a particularly special time at Aldinga Central, where kids can enjoy free fun-filled elf activities and, of course, the important Christmas photos with Santa that bring joy to all kids and adults.

“Here at Aldinga Central, we have a special mailbox under our lovely big Christmas tree located in the Atrium where all kids can send off a letter to Father Christmas and get a response from the big man himself! Just make sure you have that return address on the letters so he can get back to you on all your Christmas wishes.”

Day Two is brought to you by Emu Ridge Eucalyptus. Owner Manager Bev Turner says the App is a great tool to keep up to date on what’s happening and where to go on the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island.

“We are an award winning tourist attraction on Kangaroo Island. If you can’t visit us our online store has our great natural range, gift packs and so many local KI products to choose from.”

Day Three sees Art by Farquhar contribute a wonderful prize to the pool. Director Michael Farquhar says a piece of art as a Christmas present for somebody special is a brilliant and affordable choice.

“Art by Farquhar has a large range of Indigenous originals as well as reproductions, many of which are only available from us.”

He says the App is sure to grow larger and larger as the years go on, under its vibrant and innovative creator.

“The Fleurieu App offers an incredible amount of valuable information from the best sources available, covering the entire Fleurieu Peninsula and KI.”

Day Four’s supplier is McLaren Vale’s Gorgeous Soles and Owner/Director Elle Brown is a big fan of the App’s Sunday Profile.

“I love the Sunday profile; I get to learn about someone new or something new about someone I know.”

She says there are lots of gorgeous summer dresses in store for Christmas, as well as tops and pants and loads of summer goodies.

Day Five sees a contribution from Karen Davis, Cellar Door Manager at Vineyard Road Cellar Door.

“So much information at your fingertips, with relevant, local information under easy to follow tabs,” is what Karen loves about the App.

She says Vineyard Road Cellar Door offers Christmas gifts for everyone.

“We've got wine, chocolate (including special Christmas themed choccies) and skincare products. Gift vouchers are a great idea for those who can’t decide.”

Day Six marks the halfway point of this fabulous winning opportunity and Hilton’s Betta Home Living has provided the prize.

Owner/Director Julia Hilton loves the lifestyle and the diversity of the people of the Fleurieu and how well this is reflected on the App.

She says at this time of year her store has everything from Christmas gifts to updating appliances for the holidays.

The 12 Days of Christmas competition closes Wednesday 23 December at midnight with the winners notified on Christmas Eve, December 24, just in time to celebrate.
