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!

There are lots of gift items: picture frames in all sizes, candles, coffee mugs, wreaths, really pretty tablecloths and napkins and small nous are items.along the back wall there is a pantry section with gourmet jams, bbq sauce, cocoa, gourmet cookies, sauces and pastas. 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. Don't forget to check out the nostalgic postcards near the cash register.

Like the previous reviewer, I purchased the herb snipper, as well as a larger version for cold cuts. Some of the home decor items are a little too glam for my taste, but there were many items I'd be happy to put on my holiday wish list.

Home decor, candles, scarves, small kitchen gadgets, cheese servers, lotions, wrapping paper and even desk accessories. I found one of the greatest tools ever - an herb snipper that we use all the time. I also found some body lotion which I had never heard of but it is just heaven! I will be back whenever I visit the coast which is a lot!

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.
