Gift shops in Portland

Gift shops in Portland help you find something to bring home or send to someone, from handmade items to local foods. Many carry sea glass and shell jewelry, candles, pottery, beach art, nautical decor, maple syrup, specialty food and seaweed tea, and many will put together gift packages for you. When choosing one, ask whether the pieces are made locally, since that is often what makes a souvenir distinct. Call ahead if you need a package wrapped or shipped by a certain day, and check the listed hours, because they can vary by season.
