Dear Forsythea: While visiting Astoria last week I went into your store for the first time and love…read moreit! So many home and garden ideas and gifts to choose from. Amazing selections and curation. Monica helped me choose a couple gifts for my girls and I plan to stop back in before Christmas to get a few more. Thanks again for all the great ideas, Monica. You're a gem. 5 stars : best shopping experience in Astoria!

The vibes in this store are unmatched. I always come here to buy a card for birthdays and holidays…read more They have a neat selection and they aren't your basic cards. They are priced I think at $6, but for the uniqueness of them they are worth it. The service has always been good and the staff is attentive and welcoming. Love coming here when in Astoria.

Beginning with a name like Weird Sisters, how can you expect anything other than that?…read more My daughter and I ventured down into the "hidden alley" of shops, where there is an underground tunnel of sorts and it's like a whole different world down there. Weird Sisters has clothing, jewelry, nik-naks, antiques (like a typewriter) and more. The owner was kind and steered us into the other mysterious looking rooms (there is an "entry room" where it's motion activated and lights go off and music plays...really fun!...). The lighting differs from space to space and it's done as if a theatrical stage. Very unique, playful and creative. A humorous and cool experience~!

I have since returned multiple times and it is somehow even cuter in person! They have so many unique goodies whether shopping for a gift or yourself: prints and other artwork, stationary, ceramics (including such cute mugs), art supplies (indigenous handmade paints!), bath and body items (Wato soap, yes please!), housewares, treats, adorable accessories and clothing, etc. Many items are local, too! They are always really friendly and nice in the shop, and it's just such a pleasure to wander. I honestly think my mom, sisters, and I nearly spent an hour there. If you can, time it so you can check out the Sunday Astoria Farmers market while there. Parking is not great as it's right in the middle of downtown Astoria, but that's just the nature of the beast, and worth it!

Since Astoria, the oldest city in Oregon, had a large settlement of Norwegian, Swedish and Finns the influence remains and a visit to Finn Ware really transports you. The vibrant Marimekko floral shopping totes with coordinating face masks had me at hello! Such a sign of the times. They have an assortment of striped shirts in a multitude of colors that just shout Nordic. Large selection of uniquely designed dish towers and dish cloths, I wanted them all! Of course there is a Christmas section with the most charming Santa's and gnomes in traditional red and white. Even a Christmas tree draped in ornaments for sale. Lots of items with colorful fish designed items: mugs, bowls, paper napkins, dish towels, cards. Make sure to check out the various Lutefisk mugs and their funny sayings. Along one of the walls is an assortment of Finnish licorice, Nordic treats, Icelandic chocolate and saltlakrits. We picked up several items for ourselves and Nordic friends. Definitely give yourself time to walk around and check out every nook and corner, there are treasures everywhere! Wish there was a store like this in Portland.

It is a wonderful shop with an ease of browsing. I specifically was looking for bright, wool socks…read moreand picked up three pairs. The socks (Paths to the Spirit, fair trade) were an instant hit for me. They are thick, colorful, and incredibly warm: perfect for an Oregon winter. I also found two pairs of Solmate socks on sale. That's a bonus, so I decided to get them, too. The shop was a bit too fragrant for my husband (not synthetic Hallmark store fragrant, however), so he stepped outside for fresh air. Lots of interesting items in this very well-stocked store. I could have browsed more, but my aim was on high-quality socks, so I kept my visit short. They also have wonderful candles, teas, herbs, and jewelry. Check-out was friendly and easy. I'll be back!

Super whitewashed with a full plethora of exploited cultures with a side of appropriation. The…read morewoman who possibly owns energy was whack and immediately started following me and my kids around. We left because of the awkwardness of it all and not to mention as an indigenous woman it was just not worth being in the space. I don't care if locals love this space, I know the real thing from the new age neo Native American bullshit. After we left quickly because my 8 year old was over it, the owner or worker- came out with her fist clenched and she was like "where is the purse she was holding." I walked back in and said - right there." She said "oh"! I was embarrassed for her; however I feel like she wanted there to be some sort of dramatic scenario. No apology- just accusing my child of stealing and she is probably lowkey racist- monetizing off others cultures. Don't waste your money- go find the deal- the true healers, people genuinely connected to the plants, culture and stay away from this nonsense.

Perfect items for a thoughtful gift basket. In the back of the boutique there is a Large, separate room for painting and craft parties. Wish I lived closer! I'd definitely sign up.
