(Newport, Oregon) – Where the internet meets the Pacific waters, and where those shopping bags are traded in for a delivery of fresh ocean air, Cyber Monday can take on whole new rugged directions. (Photo Oregon Coast Visitors Association - part of what you can snag online)

Yes Virginia, it is possible to give the beach to your pals, friends and fam – all without leaving your pad. You just have to know where to look a bit.

In fact, the funky little twist about giving the Oregon coast for the holidays is that sometimes it can be done very last minute and rather sneakily so. Let's say, for example, you're getting together with the relatives for Christmas and just before you hit their doorstep you realize you forgot someone. You can theoretically take care of that right on the doorstep – or if you have to – sneak away to the bathroom.

No, it's not a setup to a Ricky Gervais skit. Some hotels or vacation rentals on the Oregon coast sell you a gift certificate for a night at the coast right on the spot, then notify the recipient immediately. Often, this happens via email, or perhaps the gift is waiting right at the front desk for whenever they arrive.

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 truly fire 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. Among them are stickers for Bandon, Brookings-Harbor, Charleston and more, along with hats for each of those towns. It's all part of their new South Coast collection.

Go to the OCVA site and click on “shop.”

Oregon's Adventure Coast - Charleston, Coos Bay, North Bend. Explore the vibrant and beachy collection of souvenirs that Oregon's Adventure Coast has to offer. From t-shirts and hoodies to hats, jewelry, and coffee mugs, these items showcase the charm and landmarks of the Coos Bay area.

Giving the gift of lodging: you can put the coast under the tree for your loved one. Well, a gift certificate for a stay there, anyway.

The Coho Lodge sells gift certificates online and boasts stunning oceanfront views, while the Inn at Wecoma, famous for its reasonable prices and beautiful rooms, also provides online gift certificates.

In Newport, the Inn at Nye Beach offers online gift certificate purchases and features a wonderful outdoor lighted spa.

In Cannon Beach, the group has The Schooner Inn (800-843-0128. www.schoonerscove.com) right on the ocean, and in the Tolovana area the Wayside Inn is a modern charmer that's less expensive than many. 888-659-6397. www.thewayside-inn.com

The historic yet modern Tolovana Inn also offers gift certificates, which can be purchased by calling the front desk. 800-333-8890.'3400 S. Hemlock Street Cannon Beach, Oregon. www.TolovanaInn.com
