Last-minute Shopping Ideas

The Villages of Mt. Hood have some gift ideas
you won't always find in the city!

What about an outdoor experience?  Call the Mt. Hood Info Center team (503.622.4822) for a guide referral for the experience of your choice, including fly fishing, white water rafting, etc.

Outdoor gear is always a pleaser.  Try Mountain Sports (where Breeze used to be), Hoodland Plaza, Welches.

Or maybe locally made food products!  The following make great stocking stuffers:  Donna Jean’s Caramels (found in many retail shops, including Heart of the Mountain); Mt. Hood Roasters Coffee Company blends (available through their shop in Rhododendron or The Roasters Restaurant in Welches).

For fine, handcrafted jewelry using precious metals, ask for Luzon Birdsong’s work at The Heart of the Mountain, Welches. 

Original photographs of Mt. Hood and its native plants, birds and animals can be found at the Mt. Hood Information Center, next to Mt. Hood Village, Welches

Looking for Mt. Hood images in paintings, pottery, hand-screened prints and other art media...check out Wy’East Art Book Shoppe and Art Gallery, Rendezvous Center in Welches.

Or for the fiber artist….a yarn kit (book, yarns and needles) from Cast One On in Rhododendron.

You can get certificates for golf or croquet at The Resort at The Mountain.

Most of our lodging and dining establishments offer gift certificates.  We bet you will find that anyone would love a stay in The Villages for rest, relaxation or recreation in the forest.

We think you’ll find dozens of additional ideas in the following shops.
