“I love Wonderful PDX!!! It's my go-to locally owned shop for unique gifts for my friends, and for myself. My favorites are two Vegan leather purses I bought, and many beautiful earrings I couldn't resist purchasing. It is truly a treasure in the South Waterfront.”
“Super cool little shop, very Portland. All kinds of stuff for visitors as well as locals. I think the huge draw here is the massive selection of very unique stickers and patches. This was my favorite gift shop on Mississippi Ave, such a cool selection. Highly recommend!”

133 SW 2nd Ave, Portland“The staff here is always super sweet - The last time I visited, the person at the register overheard my friend and I talking about Quagsire. They asked if we were fans and went to the back to bring out a Quagsire plush that wasn’t on display yet. This made my day and I really appreciate the staff here always going the extra mile :D cutest selection of trinkets and collectibles eva!!”
“Love this little place inside Cargo! There always seems to be something new in stock; it makes it hard not to buy at least one new item everytime I pop in. They have the best selection of washi tapes from Japan too...I've already lost count of the number of tapes I've gotten here. My latest purchases also include some adorable stationery, rubber stamps, and a Russian vintage pin. If you appreciate cute, delightful, interesting knickknacks you're bound to find some treasures here.”
“We love this shop so much. It's our go-to stop for special gifts for people we love. I - and my kids - can always find great gifts. I love that inclusivity is a mainstay of the brand.”
“WOO is full of magic! I’m so happy it’s part of the neighborhood. Lauren the owner is a gem of a human and has packed this shop with everything you could need for your spiritual and/or witchy ventures. My go to place for cute cards, fairly priced crystals, books, gifts etc…and sometimes I just pop in if I’m looking for a little inspiration. Also being a queer Asian biz owner myself, I love supporting a BIPOC owned shop! ✨?✨”
“Such a cute store with cat-themed everything! I always stop by to get gifts for my creature and cat loving friends.They have cat-themed artwork, decor, cat spoons, plant holders, oven mitts, toys, books, stickers and everything else in between. And the small store looks like a fantasy land when you walk in.”

10AM - 5PM
935 NW 19th Ave, Portland“Such a cute store with fun little items for everybody. My partner bought me a necklace from there and when it broke on the first ware they were so nice and replaced it for me without question. Great place, friendly people. Definitely check it out if you’re in portland!”
“Such cute local art and gifts. I agree with the other review that you don't need to go to Target.My favorite items I got were the local spicy chili oil that I discovered earlier at the Portland Bazaar and the rainbow geode soaps from a local creator”
“After hours of desperately searching for a particular bag that was sold out everywhere, I came across Ruby Press’s website. I found the color I wanted (which felt like a small miracle), and quickly checked Google Maps to ensure the legitimacy of the storefront. I placed my order, and my bag arrived in perfect condition 3 days later. As a Hawai’i resident, that shipping time is faster than Amazon Prime! There was also a handwritten note enclosed with my purchase, thanking me for shopping small. Personal touches are what set these kind of shops apart from major retailers and supergiants like Amazon, and make me feel like the money I’m spending goes to real people who are making their own dreams a reality. Thanks Ruby Press! I’ll be sure to stop by in person if I am ever in town — until then, I’ll see you online.”
“Stopped by here on Westend Wednesday, however I have run past this store numerous times (it just isn't open at 6a morning). I even won a neat print by participation in the spin wheelie activity! Super friendly team. Lots of neat giftable things for the holidays ranging from candles, prints, magnets, etc. Def worth checking out!”
11AM - 7PM
811 NW 23rd Ave, Portland“I love how knowledgeable the staff are about the origins of their products. It adds a professionalism to the selling of oddities that makes it possible for everyday people to appreciate the interesting collections they have. Their jewelry selection is my favorite. Not cheap though, it will have to be a forever prized piece if you get jewelry from here. Also carnivorous plants!”
“PERFECT!! The best metaphysical store in Oregon. The prices are so good, and it has practically every crystal you can think of. Absolutely amazing, just wish they were open more days.”
“I am so grateful for this place, so many memories. The website is wonderful, but I have to say that there is so much more to see in the store. It's magical ✨️.. Thank you ?”
“Wild Mountain Wax Co. is truly a treasure, especially knowing that the owner, Heather is the dedicated candle maker behind the scents and pours. Every time I walk in, I'm surrounded by PNW vibes and artistry, where the scents of nature mingle with the creations of local talent. Knowing that I'm not just purchasing a candle, but a piece of Heather's passion and creativity, makes the experience even more special. It's more than a shop; it's a sanctuary of local talent and mindful craftsmanship, offering nontoxic candles that bring warmth and joy to any space.”
“Interesting little shop in a cool neighborhood. They have lots of tiny bottles of perfume to test out. It’s pretty cool, I would say to stop by if you’re in the area but not for a whole trip.”
“Great combination of vintage, natural, & upcycled merchandise. Good spot for last minute unique gifts. Nice to see small businesses supporting local artisans coming to the troubled Lloyd Mall.”
“Wonderful bookstore with lots of titles related to the Japanese culture including Manga and Anime. Besides the books you'll find merchandise like vento boxes, chopsticks, plush figures, plates and more based on Ghibli Studios movies.”
“A thoughtfully curated, high quality collection of cookbooks, journals, calendars, jewelry, garland, candles, ornaments, clothing, toys, wallets, candles, body balms, slippers, flasks, radios, and a whole lot more. The staff are mellow and never pushy. Gift wrapping is free for jewelry purchases.”

New items are brought in related to the latest holiday and are beautifully displayed! This is my go-to boutique when it's time for me!! Thank you, Mary, and all you lovely ladies who are always so helpful!!”
“Gone West is the kind of place where you always feel welcome and appreciated as a customer. Each time I’m in, I always find the cutest gifts and things to add to my home. It’s such a unique spot and I’m proud to have it in our city. Rue, the resident shop dog, also excels in customer service. :)”
“This is a great place to shop for gifts from different countries as the name of the shop suggests. They have a good collection of gift items at reasonable price. The shop attendant was nice and helpful. The shop doesn’t have a good selection for people looking for items from Portland.The restrooms are in the mall area and plenty of parking for people visiting the mall. The shop is located at the first floor of the mall.”
“Anything you'd ever need for beading is at this store...everything. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and you even get a discount at a certain price point. Hard to go in to just get one thing and not end up walking out with a bag full of treasures you didn't realize you needed!”
“This is my favorite place! Great selection of books, especially for being a little shop. Lots of cute gifty-type stuff too, I’ve been here before every major holiday/birthday since I’ve moved to Oregon City.Plus you can get an excellent coffee/tea and a delightful vegan scone while you’re there.”
“Inside the mall, so many cool things in this store, very fair prices. Friendly staff, clean store. Wanted to buy more but needed to fly back home. Haha. Highly recommend, was referred by others, and will return.”

1233 SW 10th Ave, Portland“An extremely well curated boutique that is so special. This shop is a gem and has been for 17 years. I recently moved from Dallas so it's new to me but am so glad to know I can get my Santa Maria Novella products here.”
“Great Experience! Staff was super nice and helpful. I went in and bought two mini cacti that were well priced. They have a wide variety of items that include stickers, house plants, maps, planners, pottery, and much more. They are good as gifts or personal home decor. Would go there again. Couldn’t have been happier!”
“This is one of my favorite stores in the mall. Never had customer service like Serenity's. She was kind and knowledgeable on Pusheen which I love love love. She was super helpful and helped us out greatly!”
“Talk about a place to feel welcome and invited too. It's brilliant! The shop is an area for art and discovering treasures in the shelves. Stop in to look about, supporting our local community in the process.”
