My favorite part of Down to Earth is the building. Not knowing the history of the building itself,…read moreit appears to have once been some sort of granary warehouse. All the chutes and various chambers are very intriguing, then you get into the wares the store offers. Very much in sync with the atmosphere of the building. It would seem that whatever hobby or craft you are into, they have some of what you need. They definitely have plants, containers and such covered. Next is the cookware, then canning supplies, storage containers, macrame, animal supplies, personal care... the list goes on. The neat part of it all is that it all feels so vintage yet new. A very holistic shopping experience.

The beer and wine selection is both lackluster and outdated in terms of dates on many beer cans, which is disappointing.

That's been my experience at every other location. My husband and I decided to stop in this store a few weeks ago and just check it out. This store is actually pretty decent. I found a great cookbook for a gift, and a few other things. They have a nice selection of Oregon Duck merchandise. The employees don't go out of their way to do anything special or make it a memorable trip. Which is fine. They're not terrible. When you approach the cash register, they're social and that's perfect for me. Would I return? It's not a store I feel the need to frequent often, but it's certainly better than any other location I've ever been to. The next time I go will probably be in a year when I'm looking for holiday gifts.

We went upstairs to the food court only to be underwhelmed. We were expecting more variety and ambiance. It was pretty dead. There is a Thai place, a tiny Mexican place, a Greek place, a burger place with a bar, and a candy store. Downstairs there is a deli that has sandwiches, soups, and salads. We all ordered something from different places. I had the Greek plate, which was a skewer with about 5 bite-size pieces of chicken - certainly not even an entire chicken breast worth, rice and salad (romaine lettuce, onion, a couple of olives and cherry tomatoes) with dressing. Pretty bland, and not worth the price. My son had a burger and fries and it took so long that by the time it came out, we were all done with our dinner. None of us liked what we ate. This place sounds like a good idea, but for us, it was a letdown.

So stopping at Bree's Way, which is a new-to-me store (I'm not sure it was here even four years ago when I came home to visit) was a must stop. The woman there was really friendly, but they didn't have anything that called to me. Their jewelry selection was ok but limited; mostly rings and some pendants. They sell some chains for the pendants. They also have a lot of the standard Tarot decks, some esoteric and occult-related merchandise, posters, crystals, and so on. Parking was not bad for me when I visited, but there's not a lot of parking on Alder here. And if you don't know how to parallel park, probably best to avoid parking on the street. There's a parking lot about a block and a half down the street.

Hiron's uses the same principle as dense urban areas: when real estate is limited, build vertically! The place it quite literally floor-to-ceiling with gifts, merch, sundries, goodies, and sooooo much more. The only minor knock is the 'organization' can be a touch shaky, but hey, throw in friendly service and that lack of sales tax in Oregon (I'm not local and love that) and WHAM! winner of a place. One of my wife's fave takeaways from a visit to see our Duck is a T-shirt from Hiron's; she always gets complements on it! You're on your own with parking since Safeway shares the lot and it can be like playing Frogger getting to the door (with you as the frog). Prices are fair and match the value, but if you need UO with a swoosh....then you can overspend elsewhere. I have never left Hiron's with less than five items, including my very first visit when I dropped my Duck off three years ago. They have the things I want, the things I didn't know I wanted, and tons of things to browse through and call my own.

Lots and lots and lots of local companies have their excellent products represented in this store. Who doesn't love that? There's an entire plant section, and clothing, ceramic and earth and where, high-end grooming products for men, all manner of bags and carrying containers, children's and baby wear, lots of interesting scented candles around, crystals, and the like, and hairbrushes that will last a lifetime (no, seriously they will and it'll probably be an heirloom item that gets passed on). Emily was very helpful and Amanda wrapped. They were a great team. And there was some friendly chatter that was comfortable. No one was afraid to ask if you needed help and they meant it. They have a great gift wrap set up where you can get something in a box with ribbon or you can buy a very attractive gift bag and they will take care of packaging for you.
