Greetings ,

I can't believe the holidays are already here. I am in a state of panic because I usually have all my gift buying done by Thanksgiving. See, I try to buy things on sale throughout the entire year. Besides, I like to buy things that really fit the person I am buying for rather than just trying to buy something last minute. I found a few great gifts for my sisters in Sunriver of all places, at Signature Imports. They offer very unique and worldly gifts that are hand-made by artisans from around the world. From hand-made wool sweaters to jewelry, housewares, and even that hard-to-find sarong for your next beach vacation. Located in the Village Mall next to Goody's, they're a small store packed with all sorts of fun finds. By the way, if you show your Sunset Perks card , you'll get 15% off all purchases including sale items.

Speaking of the Sunset Perks card , I would like to give a warm welcome to our newest Sunset Perks partners, Aspen Lakes Golf Course of Sisters, Oregon, and Knotthead Koffee and Kreamery of Sunriver. As our guest, you get a great deal from these partners, and don't forget the rest of our Perks partners--show your card for savings! Check out our Sunset Perks page to find all of the deals you're eligible for when you stay with us.

Do you still need a Sunriver vacation rental between Dec. 26 and New Year's? We have a few homes and condos available. Call us to book right away--they are going fast.

Are you planning on having a Christmas tree for your stay in Sunriver over the holidays? Save time and aggravation of getting a tree for your holiday celebration in Sunriver...while supplies last, we will provide you with a 6-7 foot tall Christmas tree for $50. This price includes a stand, and delivery to your vacation home. Don't have time to decorate? Hire a professional decorator at Sunriver Floral (541) 593-1300. Hurry! Pre-order your tree while supplies last.

For reservations and personal service, contact us at (800) 541-1756. We look forward to seeing you in Sunriver soon!

Have a safe and cheery holiday season!
