I thought it would be fun and useful to run a series of "Holiday Shopping Guide" posts as we get close to Christmas; basically my take on where to go for the best deals, stay local, stay small, and such. But then I figured, there’s no way I can do all that by myself, so let’s make this a collaborative effort.
So send me your suggestions—leave comments here or use the contact form. Where are the best places for holiday/gift shopping? Any type of item—food, books, clothes, whatever. The best deals, the local stores, the insider info, avoiding the big box stores (if possible) and super-spendy stuff.
I’ll organize by topic and start running posts in a few days, both submitted suggestions and my own picks (I have a few).
Let’s make this the definitive holiday shopping guide for Bend!

So, does this mean you’ll shop for me BEFORE the 24th?
Oh I’m sure he’s already got your gift, right Jon?
(Just helpin’ out a brutha)
There’s a great, newer, home interiors shop at the corner of 9th& Wilson… Can never remember the name but they have some nice stuff, some way-too-cutesy stuff… and very reasonable prices!
I know "Wild Birds Unlimited" (across from Barnes & Noble) is a chain but they seem to be very knowledgeable about the area.
Are there any locally-owned golf shops left, other than the (cough, overpriced, cough) pro shops at the courses? I think Pro Golf (next to ShopKo) is part of a chain…
