If you’re searching for rich sources of unique treasures that you’ll never find scrolling around Amazon, look no further than Roseburg’s array of quaint boutiques. Step into any of them and you’re bound to find a high-quality, authentic and distinctive item for that special person on your holiday gift list. (Or for yourself. No judging here.)
In addition to finding one-of-a-kind items, you will also be getting off the couch — a huge win for 2020 — and supporting the local economy. Boutiques are vital to any community. They are, of course, among the many small businesses that help small towns thrive. But they also often support local vendors and other small companies.
In Roseburg, talented crafters, artisans, carpenters and entrepreneurs are showcasing their skills and sharing their niche products in a number of unique shops. So give the phone a rest and take a break from the big- corporation, online shopping. Instead, spend the day discovering Roseburg’s fun and original boutiques. Here are some places to start:

The 1257 boutique is also selling a variety of “Small Town Proud” shirts with the proceeds benefiting the victims of September’s devastating Archie Creek Fire.
