It's Time To Get First Dibs!
On Saturday, November 23rd, make no other evening plans because you’ll be in Downtown Edmonds kicking off the holiday season with exclusive shopping specials and a whole lot of holly jolly. Why? Because First Dibs is back, baby! And like all things Edmonds Holiday, it’s better than ever.
Truly. Keep reading to learn about the nitty gritty and to plan your route (and childcare) accordingly).
The Shopping
Get gifts for everyone on your list, especially yourself, as you peruse the latest holiday collections and snag must-haves before everyone else comes out of their post-Thanksgiving turkey coma.

The Wine
Pinkies up, Edmonds! This year, you can sip and shop at all of our aforementioned boutiques and Downtown destinations. You read that right—every 2024 First Dibs location is a Wine Stop!
Each Wine Stop location will pour locally-curated wines from Dusted Valley, Vinbero, or Virtue Cellars in a commemorative wine glass. Tickets must be purchased before the party. You can do that here.
Now, remember, drink responsibly if you’re choosing to sip, and also know there’s no pressure from us. We love sober shopping, too! All wine ticket proceeds benefit Washington Kids in Transition’s holiday needs. Pick up your tickets—and your glass(es)—at Dusted Valley beginning at 4:30pm on First Dibs.
Bring your ID! For the record, you don’t look a day over 25.
Here’s the ticket breakdown:
$20 for one 3 oz glass and a festive collectible glass
$28 for two 3 oz pours and a festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops)
$36 for three 3 oz pours and a festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops)
$43 for four 3 oz pours and a festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops)
$51 for five 3 oz pours and a festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops)
Get Your First Dibs On
Take us shopping with you—virtually! You don’t even have to spend money on us to do it. Just add #edmondsholidays to your posts and we’ll find you (and clink glasses) online.
If we don’t see you around Downtown (we have our shopping lists, too, and only three hours to get a lot checked off), thank you for shopping locally. It means everything, especially during the holidays.
