In our culture of big-box stores, it’s always nice to support local businesses. Not only will you help out members of your community, but you’ll find unique items that you’d be hard-pressed to find at a national chain. Check out Wabi Sabi, a unique Japanese gift shop in Bend.

Wabi Sabi is a shop unlike any other you’ll find in Oregon. It specializes in all things Japanese - from candy to fine art, and if you’re looking for a unique gift, this is the place to go.
