Let the Christmas shopping commence! This year has been incredibly difficult for local businesses so there is no better time to spread the gift of cheer in multiple ways – shop small and locally while also finding unique gifts for everyone on your list. 

Roseburg and the surrounding Douglas County area have no shortage of talented crafters, artisans, carpenters and entrepreneurs. Pop into one of our local boutiques or gift shops and not only will you find one-of-a-kind items, but many of them locally made.

Let’s put down the phones and take a break from the big-corporation, online shopping. Let’s instead spend the day discovering Roseburg’s fun and Spunky boutiques. Here are just a few of our recommendations:
