We were greeted right away and there a lot of fun items to choose from, I ended up getting a magnet and a three pack of spicy jellys that were specifically made in Portland. So many great options for souvenirs and I feel like I scored since there isn't any sales tax. I ended up using the jellys for my charcuterie board and it was a hit. This store is super friendly and didn't feel like they were upselling their products just because we're tourists.

As You Wish is a bit of an anomaly to me. Located on a busy stretch of Glisan next to several I-84…read moreramps, I imagine thousands of people pass this establishment daily. But who is going in? The exact demographic is puzzling to me. The shop has somewhat of a metaphysical vibe, with AA/spiritual/motivational tchotchkes thrown in. Don't get me wrong, the business owner seems friendly, the store has been around for a long time, so she probably has a devoted following. But it took me, personally, five years to give in to my curiosity to see what the place was all about. Think New Renaissance meets hospital gift shop, with a spiritual reading thrown in for good measure. There is a wide assortment of spiritual and self-help books, New Age and Celtic CDs, lots of branded coins and trinkets, bookmarks and the like. I think you should check the place out, even if it's only just once. The store has survived its current location for a number of years, and obviously continues to draw folks in. Who knows, maybe you'll love it!

I have long been a fan of the candles for their gorgeous scents that are always just right on par. The scents are so well thought out, all of the combinations, that you never have one scent that's over powering another. They just work well together and help your space to feel more welcoming. So as far as candies go, you can't go wrong with these. They are by far my favorite and I'm a "super smeller," so that means a lot for me to say. The rest of the store is curated with local merchants goods. Jewelry, blankets, coffee cups and water bottles, wool hats, caramels, chocolates...you name it, you can find a lovely gift there! I did quite a bit of Christmas shopping there since I'd rather infuse my locally earned money into our local economy and support local businesses. I'm so excited to gift these unique and special items. And of course I got myself a "High Desert," "Festive Forest," and "Cypress & Spruce" candle to bring home for my house. I love everything about this store at it feels like walking into a cozy home that's been appointed with everything you need to be cozy and happy. Don't waste your time, just go and do your holiday shopping there! And spoil yourself some too!!!
