This holiday season, Peterborough’s Shop the Lake has become a one-stop shop for all your holiday needs by transforming its showroom into a Christmas Boutique, where customers can stock up on decorations, special gifts, and yuletide treats. You can even purchase a premium real Christmas tree while giving back to the community.
Owned by Niki and Jason Pulchinski, Shop the Lake is a patio furniture retailer at 1525 Chemong Road supporting a wide selection of high-quality product lines at a variety of price points. Between supplying top brands and employing knowledgeable staff, Shop the Lake is dedicated to help you create comfy and functional patios, porches, decks, balconies, and other outdoor spaces.
But now that winter is here, Shop The Lake has turned its showroom into a Christmas Boutique for the second straight year. Hand-made embroidered tree ornaments, moose-shaped vases, green and red garlands, and nutcracker dishtowels are just a few of the merry homewares you can find at the boutique.

Since sweets are non-negotiable for the season, Shop the Lake also offers a selection of fudge, gingerbread cookies, and decadent chocolates to fill dishes shaped like Christmas lights, and tea or hot chocolate to fill the snowflake-decorated stacking mugs. The tasty treats also make for great stocking stuffers, pairing perfectly with the store’s other top gift items including warm robes, throw blankets, tumblers, candles, and sustainable soaps and skin care products.
Of course, once you have gifts for everyone on your list, you’ll need a Christmas tree to put them under. Beginning Saturday (November 30), Shop The Lake will have premium Nova Scotia Balsam Fir trees available in a range of sizes. If you can’t take the tree home with you, the store offers a $10 driveway delivery service for those living within a 20-kilometre radius.
Since Christmas is all about giving, Shop The Lake will donate $5 from each tree sale to the YMCA of Central East Ontario’s Strong Kids Campaign. The annual fundraiser raises much-needed support for local children, youth, and families facing financial restraint to participate in programming, membership, and camp opportunities.
Although Shop The Lake’s showroom has been turned into a holiday extravaganza, those looking ahead to the return of warm weather can still choose from Shop the Lake’s selection of outdoor furniture and connect with staff about their design needs and inspirations.
Visit the Christmas Boutique at Shop The Lake at 1525 Chemong Road from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. To browse or shop the Christmas Boutique online, visit shopthelake.ca, with both shipping and in-store pick-up available.
As a special bonus in celebration of the Christmas season, Shop The Lake — along with neighbouring women’s wear shop DJC Modern Apparel — is hosting a holiday open house from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, December 7th. You can visit both stores to shop for unique and stylish gifts, decor, and food.
Shop The Lake will be offering 10 per cent off all Christmas Boutique items during the holiday open house, when you can also enter into a draw for a free six-foot Christmas tree. To add to the festive atmosphere, the Peterborough Pop Ensemble choir will be performing Christmas carols starting at 2 p.m.
