Holiday Gift Guide
Support & Shop Local This Holiday!
2020 has been a year full of “un-s.” Unexpected, underwhelming, unfortunate, and our favorite word, unprecedented. Despite everything that has happened this year, one thing we can all learn from this is to live every moment to the fullest and be appreciative of the people around us. And what better way to show our appreciation — and create a memorable holiday while staying COVID-conscious — than through gift-giving!
Traditionally, the holiday season has been a large part of our local makers’ business and with the lack of markets this year, we hope that you continue to make the effort to shop and support local. To assist you with your gift-buying experience this holiday season, we’ve handpicked 10 of our favorite gifts made by Portland Made members.
These are only a select few of our makers and products they are offering this holiday season. We encourage you go to the “Brands” page of this website and further explore our full list of makers!
