Tender Loving Empire

Such a lovely store. Their shirts are so soft and really cool Portland or Oregon images. Got a sweatshirt there that is my absolute favorite, light but warm with a cool design. All their local products from lotions to music to woven bags to nail polish are amazing!

Portland's go to last minute gifting spot! There are a lot of shops with more specific gifts, but if you have multiple people to shop for or you want a bigger selection, this is the place since they have everything from art prints to self care items. I prefer this Hawthorne location to the downtown one because it's a little larger and a bit less trafficked.

If you're visiting Portland and want some really cute gifts or souvenirs, definitely go here. Sincerely, not a local just someone who likes really aesthetic cute things

Visited Portland for a few weeks and came across this gorgeous shop in SE Hawthorne area.

I’m so thrilled that I did because the staff who greeted and served me was exceptional, and the line of independently made products for sale was nothing short of perfection.

Really cute store with lots of cool stuff! Staff were very nice.

Great, quirky little store stuffed to the brim with creative gifts.

This place has the cutest items and always the best customer service. Whether your buying some home goods or a gift for someone who doesn’t understand how awesome Portland is; this is the place to go. I love that they support local artists and makers. I would give them an extra star if I could because they are dog friendly as well. My dog, Franklin loves to come in here because he is rarely allowed into stores. He always looks forward to the treats they have (they also have an awesome section for pets). Awesome store!

We got a great haul of local items: wine, cider, a shirt, a sticker. TLE feels so welcoming, it's very nicely organized and well designed, and Alex was super friendly and helpful when we were looking around and checking out. Worth a visit!

A great spot to grab an art print, t-shirt, or some locally made household or skincare items. This shop is the perfect place to pick up some small gifts this season, whether it's cute jewelry or a PDX themed post card!

Every location of TLE is so gorgeous! Helpful staff and a great spot to pick up gifts for any occasion. Discover new music, your next favorite jewelry piece or grab a festive greeting card. Love this PDX staple!

Had a really wonderful experience shopping here, the staff made me feel completely welcome when shopping with my very active tow-year-old. Also I found some great art prints and gifts!

This store had a ton of locally made items that were adorable as gifts or just keepsakes for the home. The jewelry was pricey, but understandable since it was locally made. They also have a website.

This place is cute. They have a little bit of everything. Jewelry, bath and body, handmade stuff, music, cards and so many nifty things. Staff is friendly. I would recomend going for yourself or if looking for gifts.

So many unique items to browse. Wonderful handmade pieces by talented artists. The store was easy to shop and I enjoyed the variety.

I had just been in Nob Hill and visited their other location, so I had to visit this one while on Hawthorne, and I was again very pleased with the customer service! The staff were so friendly and willing to help, and they gave me great information on the items in stock. 100% would visit many times again in the future!

Friendly staff and unique products! Love everything I’ve gotten here and have had loads of success finding gifts for friends.

Oh man, the food, the service, the drinks... what's not to love about this place?! Had shakshuka and Bravas potatoes, shared with a friend and it was plenty of food. The Tasty Mary was very tasty indeed. Highly recommend!

Great albums from a local label along with cards, artwork and other gifts. The staff is helpful and generally awesome.

Cool shop with locally made crafts, jewelry, stationery, little gifts and a nicely done vinyl section with listening available in store!

Such a cute place. So many good gifts and furnishings, records, etc! Adorbs
