Tender Loving Empire

I love this shop! Everyone working there is very nice and knowledgeable. and they always have a great selection of smart, unique gifts from area makers and artisans. They really do a marvelous job of celebrating the creative hub that is Portland.

Great place for things made from local artists that you won't find anywhere else. Great record label!

I remember visiting this shop 2 years ago while in Portland for a visit. The selection of products are always unique. The staff is also super friendly. I stopped by a few weeks ago just to browse and conversed with the girl behind the counter on recommendations for some bath salts, soap and deodorant. Their carefully curated line of health and beauty products have always worked well for my sensitive skin.

I was in visiting from Vancouver, Canada and I stumbled upon this store! The person who helped me in the store (whose name I have forgotten but was wearing a great black and white patterned jumpsuit) taught me so much about the area and gave me so many recommendations and information on the earrings and cards that I bought! They were even willing to look up a bank for me so I could run and grab some cash! Overall an amazing experience and it will be a pit stop on every trip to Portland from here on out! Thank you so much!

This gift shop is full of fun and wonderful gifts. Art prints, bath salts, T shirts, note cards, jewelry, stickers, cat nip treats for kitties and so much more. As the sign on the door says, Unboring gifts for dreamers and Do-gooders. A fresh shop for fine gifts for your pal or yourself. This shop celebrates the wonders of Portland.

LOVED this little shop! Was told we had to stop in on our trip. We almost missed it but got there just before we left. SO many cute little things, I wanted to buy everything! Service in the store was great. I will definitely be back :)

Literally just left the store. No one bothered to greet me u0026 my family nor say anything to us when we left. However, I noticed they readily greeted everyone who came in after us (yes, they were white.) The atmosphere was a bit to “extreme” for and exaggerated to me. You can tell this store definitely caters to a specific group of people u0026 The items in the store were way over priced. There is a location at Bridgeport that I find way more comfortable and pleasing to visit. I won’t ever waste my time at this location.

Such a great shop for unique finds + gifts. You're bound to find something here. Plus everyone is always so kind, no matter what location you visit.
