When it comes to the Oregon coast – that's when.
This time around, why not give the gift of the beach to those on your nice list. That is a very easy thing you can do on Cyber Monday – or even last-minute shopping. The cool little trick that not many know is that with many Oregon coast hotels, you can give your pal a stay at the beach without even leaving your home. Even cooler: you can do this at the very last minute and the hotel or vacation rental agency will notify your recipient right away. Often this happens via email, or the free night or two are awaiting them at the front desk.
So, theoretically, you can purchase a night at the beach for someone just minutes before arriving at your holiday celebration.
With lodgings, most of them require the gift certificate to be purchased over the phone, but there are some online options as well as coastal swag you can snag via an online shop or two.
Oregon Coast Visitors Association has a righteous little online shop that sells a variety of coastal keepsakes, like patches, stickers, coastal books, beanies, t-shirts and a whole lotta cool stuff you might not expect.
Go to the OCVA site and click on “shop.”
Oregon's Adventure Coast: Charleston, Coos Bay, North Bend have the same deal: a bundle of beachy stuff that is fire. Among them are t-shirts, hoodies, hats, jewelry and coffee mugs. They all feature local Coos Bay-area landmarks and attractions in one way or another.
Giving the gift of lodging: yes Virginia, you can put the coast under the tree for your loved one. Well, a gift certificate for a stay there, anyway.
You can see a larger list of coastal stays, and most of them offer gift certificates in some way, if you call.
Whistling Winds Motel
In Lincoln City, A1 Beach Rentals and its sister property Whistling Winds Motel give you the opportunity to call and purchase a gift certificate over the phone. They can also do it via email. They then mail it to your loved one with a gift card. (503) 232-5984. www.A1beachrentals.com
