The Great Northern Candle Co.

I regularly come to this beautiful store to buy things like Incense, soaps, classy simple syrups, and birthday cards. If you happen to be a plant person, you’ll love the healthy and beautiful selection you’ll find here. It’s also ALWAYS my first stop when I need a new piece of jewelry or clothing for a special event (gorgeous necklace I purchased there is pictured below)! The staff is always wonderful, friendly, and warm - even during this busy Halloweentown time of year! It’s really one of the highlights in our little downtown area. Treat yourself and stop in. It’s so worth it!

This is the cutest little shop of handmade things. We visited this shop while at the Spirit of Halloweentown celebration and their customer service is great. They have baby clothes and adult clothing. Candles, coffee cups, jewelry, reusable bags. Their pricing is great for handmade things. I am a crafter myself and the time and energy plus materials it takes to create things adds up. Keep this in mind when buying handmade things. If you appreciate things made in the U.S. that are of quality this is the place to go. I have spent so much money on candles that just lose their smell or don't put off any scent. This wood wick eco soy candle is AMAZING my whole house smells like fall spices. And kts hand poured in St.Helens, OR.

This Boutique is such a gem! I shop here often because they are always adding new items to their store!
I absolutely love the owner of the Cottage—she treats this community more like family. She also handpicks all of their one of a kind artisan based goods and the best clothing which leave you feeling like you scored one of a kind items you always wanted.
This community and beyond are very lucky to have this shop supporting all the artisans and their craft. It’s a one stop shop for gift giving or a little self care shopping. Highly recommend you check them out. Shop small! 🤝❤🤝

I shop at Woodland Cottage several times a month, more so during the Holidays. The staff are always so friendly & very helpful when I tell them if I’m shopping for a special event.
Each gift purchased & given has been loved and appreciated.
Thank you Woodland Cottage & staff for always being there & so helpful!

I CANNOT believe 'astephens830's review! I've shopped this store MANY times. I've never met the owner, either. The ONLY person I have met is the SUPER AMAZING Marnie.

I'm an old man that just cruises the store looking for SOMETHING my wife won't hate. It's a tough job, but it's all I have.

Marnie has ALWAYS been polite, busy and full of answers. Disregard the troll, everything that 'person' says is BS.

He certainly won't tell us who he is, because he knows he'll get laughed at.

This shop is tucked into the historic downtown part of St. Helens. You walk in and are immediately welcomed by the sales associate. You get a sense of warmth and encompassing good energy. Each time I have gone in I have found things I need, want and also put in my mental list of things to buy next time! There is something for everyone and at all price points. There are so many nooks to find things in that you can walk out feeling like you didn't see everything. It is almost like you are transported the a store that somehow knows what you need! Stop in and see what treasures await you.

I absolutely LOVE this incredible, wonderfully unique little store. It's just so perfectly Pacific Northwest! :) But coolest of all to me is the philosophy and overall vibe that Courtney (the owner) has given this cute lil boutique...a funky, laid back outlet for local artists and goods-makers to share their passions and show off their talents. For the customers, there's clothing (women, men and kids), home decor, jewelry, bath/body, and one-of-a-kind gifts for literally everyone on your list.

Marney Rocked my socks! I went into buy a gift for my wife and not only left with a great gift but also all the attractions info us tourists needed for the area and the rest of our trip to Seattle. She was so nice and kind, made me feel like a friend.

Such a delightful and wonderful hidden gem in St. Helens! Not only can I count on finding a unique and perfect gift for my loved ones but I can always count on finding something just as great for myself. Beautiful purses and clothing, yummy smelly candles and bath bombs, delicate and gorgeous jewelry. This place has it all and more. Not to mention staff is amazing! Highly recommend swinging by to check it out!

This is a wonderful shop in St Helens. It’s great for affordable apparel, gifts and personal care. The owner has a great eye for new and unexpected merchandise. There’s a delightful surprise waiting for me every time I visit. Thanks for being there for the everyone and the community. Wishing you much continued success and abundance!

My babe of a wife loves to get me gifts from the shop, and I can’t complain, I love the local PNW tee shirts, hats and soaps the best... there are some amazing food things that we get there too, the salsas and mustards are pretty dang amazing. Plus, there are always good, down to earth people running the shop, makes shopping there a great experience.

I absolutely love Woodland Cottage!!! 100% my go to place for plants, gifts, essential oils and unique clothing i can’t find elsewhere. I love shopping local and with establishments with amazing stores with amazing staff like Woodland Cottage it’s so easy to do!!! ❤❤❤

Gah, I love love looove all the wonderful things Woodland Cottage Handpicked brings to this community! I know every time I step into the shop, there is something magical waiting just for me. I’m so thankful for the beautiful Instagram account too, because it gives me a heads up on what’s fresh in the shop! It’s an absolutely must-stop on my self care list, not to mention gifts for my loved ones. Amazing quality, beautifully procured, pnw essentials! ♥✨🙌🏽

Love this great independent business. They have a wonderfully thoughtful inventory- it is my go-to when searching for a gift for the people in my life who are hard to shop for. The staff are always helpful and kind, and I never feel pressured to hurry.

A real gem in an unsuspecting, little town. Always a nice assortment of plants, candles, trinkets, and well curated items tailored to the PNW. It’s rare to leave empty handed and easy to lose an afternoon browsing! A must if you’re in St. Helen’s, OR.

The customer service was excellent. A really fun shop for plants and fun witchy things. This store is also haunted by something.

I absolutely adore this boutique! They support small shops and makers, and fill their space with a bountiful supply of handmade goods. It doesn't get much better than this ♥

Wonderful energy and wonderful staff, very welcoming!!! Feels like a small piece of Portland in St. Helens. Love this boutique and would recommend checking out!! <3

This place is so adorable! It’s constantly changing and they have the cutest clothes! It’s my go to spot when I want to find a nice gift for friends/family (or myself). Love this place!

Staff is always extremely nice, never rude. Love this little shop!!
