Husbands often have a hard time choosing holiday shopping options for their wives. Here is a guide to several locations around Portland, Oregon where a husband can shop for the perfect gift for his wife this Christmas on a budget.

1) Clackamas Town Center
12000 SE 82nd Ave
Happy Valley, OR 97086-7736
(503) 653-6913

This is one of the nicest malls in the area of Portland, Oregon. It offers easy access from the freeway and there is a huge parking lot that curves around the entire mall. During the holidays they have a large security team to oversee the parked vehicles, too.

The mall consists of high end stores, economical stores, and many trendy little shops. Its the perfect place for any husband on a budget to stroll around and locate the perfect gift for his wife. I'm sure that one of the stores will catch your eye and offer the ideal present.

This mall is always beautifully decorated for the holiday season. It features two levels for your shopping experience.

2) Washington Square Mall
9585 SW Washington Square Rd
Tigard, OR 97223
(503) 639-8860

This mall is similar to the Clackamas Town Center but it often becomes more crowded during the holiday season. The exits to this mall often back up with traffic jams that can be extremely stressful. I would suggest shopping mid week to beat the crowds and also do not shop during freeway rush hour.

Washington Square offers many stores that range from high end to very economical. Simply strolling around will give you a wealth of holiday gift idea's for your wife.

3) Lloyd Center Mall
2201 Lloyd Ctr

This large mall sits close to downtown Portland. It is easily accessible by all public transportation such as the MAX line. The mall offers a wide diversity of stores that are high end to economical. You can bring the children with you so they can enjoy the huge indoor ice rink while you shop for mom.

4) Jantzen Beach Supercenter
1405 Jantzen Beach Center
Portland, OR 97217-7839
(503) 286-9103

This is a mall that is outdoors and combines many huge retailers such as Target in one convenient location. if you are looking for a budget friendly present for your wife then this is an ideal shopping experience because you can visit many large stores in one location.

The location is also home to the largest running wooden carousel that your children are sure to adore.

5) Woodburn Company Stores
1001 N Arney Rd # 508

Woodburn Oregon is located approximately thirty miles south of Portland. This outlet mall features top retail stores such as Nike, Guess, Columbia, Ann Taylor, Calvin Klein, and Liz Claiborne. The mall is huge and quite nice. Even though it is a short drive from the city the savings are often substantial. It is a wonderful place for someone on a budget to shop this Christmas season if you live in or around Portland, Oregon.
