The Dare to Detour Gift Guide

I really do love a bit of retail therapy

Anyone who knows me agrees that I love to shop. But more than anything, I thoroughly enjoy the art of finding things (and experiences!) to give as gifts.

Each of the businesses below is locally owned and has someone behind it, who from the very beginning, supported me, my family, and Dare to Detour since I moved to Montana full-time in 2017. They are all wonderful service providers and craftsmen, and almost all have an online shop or way to order from them. I encourage you, no matter where you live, to visit them. (Just click the images to get to their websites.)

Enjoy!

Dare to Detour
