This year, I decided to focus on small Portland shops, makers and lovers who - more than ever - need our support after a dreadful year.

Everything is shoppable online, so don't fret if you're not local ;)

For the wanderluster in your life who's always ready to go on an adventure - whether it's a thru-hike or a walk down the road to admire the sunset.

First, consider:

• A homemade gift, like some reusable food wrap.

• A gift of experience, like a Mason Jar Coozie Workshop.

• A gift to support their favorite charity, like the Venture Out Project.

Then, feel free to pick one of the following:

• A robust axe, from Portland's best adventure store, CORD.

• A quick drying camp hat by Portland B Corp Tillak.

• Zero Waste Adventure Snacks by Portland company Fernweh.

• A water-saving bar of soap sold by Portland surf shop Up North Surf Club.

• A zero waste cutlery set sold by Portland outdoor shop Worn Path

• A versatile bandana by Portland traditional Japanese textiles store Kiriko.

• A beautiful print by West Coast adventurer and photographer Julie Hotz.

• A sustainable 100% merino tee by Portland brand Wool & Prince.

• A meaningful sew-on patch by Portland creative duo The Far Woods.

• An inspiring book by badass adventurer (and podcaster) Gale Straub.

And here's the complete 2020 Holiday Gift Guide & the Conscious by Chloé Shop.
