Now that the holiday shopping season is in full bloom, Washington County, Ore., has a cornucopia of shops that offer a wide variety of gift-giving options. From antiques to specialty goods from Oregon, the options are endless.
One of the area’s most popular Christmas themed shops, Sleighbells of Sherwood, has a large assortment of holiday ornaments, decorations, collectibles and gift items. For the offbeat, trek to Miki’s Christmas Shop, located at Shafer Vineyard Cellars winery, and peruse the largest selection of German smokers (incense burners) on the West Coast.
The winter is not complete without warm coffee and tea to make the colder nights toasty. Pick up the special seasonal teas from the Stash Tea Catalog Retail Store, or perk-up your days with the specialty coffees – roasted right on the premises - from Longbottom Coffeehouse.
Select other Oregon treasures from the Rice NW Museum of Rocks and Minerals gift shop, located at the Streets of Tanasbourne through the holidays. Or check out the new digs for Oregon Orchards/Hazelnut Growers of Oregon for variety of gifts made with Oregon’s state nut, hazelnuts (or filberts).
