A Holiday Gift Guide?
Last December I wrote up a Holiday Shopping Guide here, and minus a few businesses that closed over this past year (Boomtown, Gambit Games, Vino Mercato), I think it’s still pretty relevant and there’s no reason to repeat myself.
But I was thinking about maybe doing a Holiday Gift Guide instead. The premise would be gifts that are fairly unique (or are related) to Bend/Central Oregon somehow, rather than just neat gifts you could buy anywhere.
I like the idea—it could be a lot of fun—but I strongly suspect it’s not one I could do justice to by myself… so does anyone have any suggestions?
How about a nice, big coffee (or tea) mug, handmade in Central Oregon by Owen at Mug Revolution? (www.mugrevolution.com)
A copy of Bend, Overall for newcomers (or even old-timers).
Be-Bop Biscotti from diLusso (I have a couple of relatives with standing orders every year).
"Bend, Overall" sprang to mind, but I hadn’t thought of the mugs or DiLusso… awesome!
We have t-shirts, hoodies, pint glasses and stickers that say Cog Wild, Bend Oregon. We are also selling gift certificates for tours, shuttles, women’s riding clinics and more. I know I am a little late, but I am just starting to get the word out.

What grand timing Jon. Head on over to monkeyinabox.net for the must have item of 2007!
Melanie- cool! I’ll check ’em out.
Monkey- Now THAT’s timing, alright. Nice.

Tumalo Farms makes nationally award-winning goats’ milk cheese right here in Bend. You can shop at the farm (64515 Mock Road) on Saturdays 12-5, or on the website. There are gift boxes or "Cheese of the Month" clubs available.
