Last minutes gift shopping in South Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Need a last-minute gift or something for the hard-to-buy-for person? South Lake Tahoe has plenty to offer in unique gifts that may not be found in other communities. Shop early on Christmas Eve as many may be closing early, especially with the stormy weather expected.

Just a few ideas:

Gift certificates at local spas like BioSpirit or salons like Rah, unique local restaurants like Getaway Cafe, Blue Water Bistro, and Scusa, boutiques, or the Tahoe Chamber card that is good at many different spots. A gift certificate at Overland Meat & Seafood, or for a "staycation" at local motels. Or combine several different certificates into a South Lake Tahoe package.
