???? The 2022 Portager Holiday Gift Guide

Dear Portagers,

Thank you for visiting the very first edition of our Holiday Gift Guide, which we hope will become an annual source for local gift inspiration.

As we have always said, our mission is to be a catalyst for ideas and action to help our community thrive. And what better way to help your neighbors than to support their businesses? This gift guide will help you discover opportunities to invest in your community while sharing beautiful treasures and experiences with your loved ones.

Please explore this gift guide and reach out to the vendors if you have any questions. If you find something here you love, please let them know you saw it in The Portager. And consider sharing the link to our guide with others.

If you own a business and would like to appear in this gift guide or next year’s, please contact us!

Thanks for reading and happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Ben Wolford
