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.

I did not think the gift ship was much, very small. But there is an excellent 16 minute video that is incredibly interesting and well done. If you visit, be sure to see the video. It is accessible for all ages. From the visitor center, it's about a 8-10 minute walk to the fort.

Great information to research at the visitor center. Everyone is really nice and helpful.read more

I was still in search of souvenirs to take back home to family members and ended up here because I…read moreremembered seeing it earlier in the week. I had high hopes for finding shirts or at least magnets and my hopes were dashed once I showed up. The shirt selection is low, I found a few that I wanted to grab, but the sizes available are all over the place and not usually for the shirt that you want. I was here to purchase shirts for my nieces and nephew and let's just say that my nephew was plumb out of luck. I did browse for myself a bit and decided to not grab anything after all. I do appreciate a store that features items made in state, it's a great concept, but I would have like to have seen a bigger selection for sizes. I'm thinking that most sales here are of people from out of state that don't have means to go elsewhere.

My Son led me here last weekend when I was in town. There was lots of notebooks, pens, and other stuff to consider, and having a Kinokuniya membership (10% off) was a bonus. David was more interested in the manga books, and we were happy browsing in our own little corners. We both happily came away with a small collection of treasures and a promise to return. There were lots of folks here, making the aisles a little tight. But checkout moved quickly and efficiently.

They have an amazing selection, especially if you're into manga, Japanese stationery, and unique books you don't always see elsewhere. The store itself is fun to walk through and browse -- even if you're not looking for something specific, you'll probably leave with something. Everything is well-organized, and it's just a really enjoyable space to spend time in. Great spot for gifts, collectors, or anyone who loves books and wants something a little different. Definitely recommend checking it out.

- Made in Oregon at PDX…read more Step aside, ordinary retail Made in Oregon is where class meets swagger. First off, the manager? The owner? Whoever's running that empire of evergreen excellence deserves a crown woven from Douglas fir needles and pure hustle. She's over, atop, and beyond like a virtuoso merchant conducting a symphony of "buy me now." Her energy lifts the whole room, turning casual wanderers into proud purchasers. It's that rare mix of hospitality and hip-hop cadence, where she greets you like royalty but hustles like she's dropping a platinum album. The products? A straight-up Renaissance of Oregon goodness. I browsed once, felt destiny tug my sleeve, and circled back like a loyal satellite making a round trip around Mount Hood itself. Christmas treasures glowed like poetry in tinsel form. Food items, jellies, coffee oh yes, that rich PNW coffee lined the shelves like a curated gallery of flavor. Souvenirs of every shape and shade called out with that "take me home" rhythm, as if each one had its own beat. It's hip-hop meets handcrafted heritage, and somehow it just works. So hear ye, hear ye whether you wander by with a latte in hand or drift through PDX looking for that final taste of Oregon magic, step inside this shop. Made in Oregon is a vibe, a verse, a little piece of the state wrapped in one dope boutique. One of my favorite stores in the whole airport no cap, no embellishment, just truth set to rhyme. Go check it out and let the artistry find you.

My final destination was not Oregon so I didn't specially need gifts to take home. What I did want was a state souvenir to take with me. Walking in, you are visually bombed with all sorts of colors and objects. I love stores like this. It requires you to take a minute to slow down and look at everything. They truly have everything here. From mugs to candy to sweatshirts, you'll find an Oregon themed gift here. I have so many shot glasses and mugs from different states that I have stopped at or traveled to. I started doing something different now. I slap a state sticker on my suitcase to represent each state I have been to. I have been to Portland a few times so this was a nice addition to my suitcase. It's an easy souvenir without it cluttering my cabinets. The sweet gal at the register checked me out. She was patient with me as I headed back to the stickers cause I couldn't decided between a couple. I really liked this store! Be cautious of your time! It's easy to get lost in time here with all the fun things to look at. You can lose track of it easily here!

Many of their items are tropical themed, but not all, and they have a variety of items to appeal to all ages and budgets. Items range from small souvenirs and trinkets, toys, home decor, jewelry, funny socks, t-shirts, Hawaiian-style shirts, more clothing and hats. The lady working there (possibly the owner?) was very nice and helpful. For parking, be sure to pay attention to the parking restrictions signs in the parking lots and along the road to be sure you are parking where it's okay to do so.

My wife and I have frequented almost every hotel, and most of the pubs and taverns, and Edgefield is easily has the largest variety and quantity of offerings. If any location can be considered their flagship, Edgefield is probably it, and their care and attention to detail shows here. You'll find everything here, from apparel to craft brews, liquors, ice cream (spiked!), glassware, soaps and lotions, souvenirs, tchotchkes, doodads, and gizmos galore. There's also an espresso stand, which is a nice perk (hah)! If there is something McMenamins brand that you crave, there are few locations comparable to find what you're looking for: 23rd Ave, Old St. Francis (in Bend) both come to mind, but one of them's...a bit of a trek. And besides, who isn't looking for a reason to come to Edgefield?

If you are looking for a taste of Japan without the flight, this shop is a must-visit! They offer…read morean incredible selection of Japanese merchandise that covers a little bit of everything. Whether you're looking for unique snacks and drinks, trading cards, or anime characters and plushies, they have you covered. I was also impressed by their non-hobby items; they carry beautiful posters, tea, authentic tea sets, and various kitchenware that you won't find at your typical big-box store. It's the perfect place to find a unique gift or to stock up on your favorite imported treats. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes browsing the packed shelves a great experience. Just a heads-up: the parking lot is shared with Trader Joe's and several other shops, so it stays very busy and can be a bit of a scramble to find a spot. Despite the parking hustle, it's a fantastic local gem for any Japanophile!
