White Salmon Holiday Gift Guide
We are so incredibly fortunate to have access to the myriad of dining and shopping options in Downtown White Salmon, and the Holidays are a reminder of how lucky we are! In just a few short blocks, there are cozy wine bars, upscale restaurants, an award-winning brew pub, a collection of boutiques filled with handcrafted jewelry and gifts, artisan clothing, and much more! We have a yoga studio and plenty of wellness professionals to round out your choices when it comes to gift giving!

I think we can all agree that shopping ‘small’ and as local as possible, is good for everyone–you are supporting artists and creatives, and in return, receiving one-of-a-kind merchandise–gifts that are sure to please everyone on your list!
We have compiled a list of options for you this year, and are excited to share them! What you may or may not know, is that White Salmon has acquired several new businesses in the past year, that are contributing to the already, outstanding and impressive small business scene here in town!
Let’s get started!
If you’re looking for SERVICES to treat your recipients with, we’ve got you covered!
Check out Goodfellows Tonsorial Parlor, an elevated barbershop, specializing in traditional and modern cuts for men and women, straight razor shaves, beard trims, facial massages and scalp treatments. There is also Rumours Hair Studio offering custom styling and organic hair products, and Foam Salon, dedicated to genderless hair care in an inclusive salon environment. Satori Tattoo provides piercing, tattoo and other services, as well as gift cards, and Candy’s Spa is a great spot to treat someone you love to a mani/pedi!
Wanting something for the COFFEE lovers in your life?
White Salmon is home to White Salmon Baking Company, Bubba’s Brew and Nativ Cafe!
Grab a basket of goodies to share with your co-workers from White Salmon Baking Co, a gift card from Bubba’s or a bag of specialty coffee from Nativ!
WINE/COCKTAIL LOVERS on your list?! No worries!
We think a wine club membership from Le Doubblé Troubblé or Clyzm Wines is the perfect gift! Or perhaps a specialty bottle from the shelves of Soča Wine Shop and/or a gift card to enjoy on their own! Our new craft cocktail bar Gander & Goose, would be the perfect place to treat your loved ones–grab some savory waffles and delicious drinks–what could be better?! We must not forget our local watering hole, the Tarwater Tavern, which is THE spot to go if you’re a late-nighter and want to hang with your friends and have a good time! Treat them to a night out and maybe even learn a few White Salmon secrets..
Maybe the gift of HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY is what you’re looking for..
Step into the gorgeous studio of TruDesign, or the beautiful Arrowleaf Workshop or grab some adorable earrings from Klickitat Jewelry!
Looking for that PERFECT OUTFIT? A ONE-OF-A-KIND gift?
Marcel Goods, a haven for unique gifts for the home, focuses on second hand art, furniture and unusual finds you will surely fall in love with! Blackbird + Ivory is filled with a curated collection of clothing and gifts that are crafted in the USA and focused on sustainability. TeaLyn’s offers bulk teas, beautiful teaware, cigars and more!
What about LODGING–nothing says I love you like a weekend away!!
We have two lovely hotels in town, within walking distance to all our local shops and restaurants! Inn of the White Salmon, is a quaint eco-lodge, with a large patio to enjoy a glass of Columbia Gorge wine! The new Hotel Iconica boasts studios, as well as a penthouse, and several options in between, all with kitchens–and there is a stunning rooftop area to take in the sweeping views of Mt Hood!
If WELLNESS is your thing, no problem! White Salmon is filled with wellness professionals, ranging from acupuncture/chiropractic to hypnotherapy and yoga!
We are very proud of our very own yoga studio, Yoga Sahmadi–open seven days a week with a wide variety of classes for every level! Wanting something fun to try? What about a tea ceremony at Mesmerized Gallery + Healing Space? You can participate in a tea leaf reading with friends (or on your own) or schedule a hypnotherapy appointment. Other options include, Kula Chiropractic, White Salmon Integrative Medicine, and Kaitlin Iverson Healthful Living, a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, also offering holistic health coaching. What a great way to start the New Year!
Finally, if what you’re looking for is AWESOME MERCH, or an elevated or casual DINING EXPERIENCE, have no fear!
Everybody’s Brewing, a community hub and fixture in White Salmon, is full of gifting opportunities! There is lots of great merch to purchase, fantastic beer to take home, and delicious grub to be consumed! Thinking ethnic food? Pixán Taqueria & Cantina has Oaxacan fare and delish cocktails! Henni’s Kitchen and Bar and Feast Market and Delicatessen, both family owned, serve up fresh, local fare, featuring bar seating in addition to a seated table.
