It’s not too late for meaningful gifts from Central Oregon


Along with the abundance of sugary sweets and stockings hung by the chimney with care, the holiday season can lead to a shopping frenzy. But checking off holiday shopping lists doesn’t necessarily need to involve buying more stuff. Skip the wrapping paper and give the gift of a novel experience by gifting memberships, tickets or gift certificates. Alternatively, make a donation to a nonprofit organization in the name of a loved one.

Below is a list of gift ideas that can be consumed or experienced and are easy to knock off the list last minute.
