Express Yourself – Portland’s Best of Thank You Cards
« Read the full blog
Have you ever walked into the standard grocery store, browsed through the greeting cards section in hopes of finding something decent with which you could express your gratitude, and instead found yourself deeply disappointed with the tacky designs and cliché messages that they offer? We have! So we’ve investigated the small local businesses that know their stuff when it comes to stationary good and accessories. Take a look!
Ecru Modern Stationer
Pearl District- 1215 NW 11th Ave
With over 10 years of experience in the business, LeAnn Dolan runs a charming boutique of stationary goods that will leave you nostalgic for ways passed—finding a letter, a real handwritten letter, in the mailbox, stamped and sealed, recording your thoughts in an intricately designed journal, or recording your memories in old-school scrap books and photo albums … whatever it is, Ecru Modern Stationer has got you covered.
Presents of Mind
3633 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Another gem in the stationary business, Presents of Mind was founded by Cinnamon Chaser back in 1989, and has been passed on since to her daughter and partner, Seasons. As she explains on her website, “our goal is to enhance people’s lives by offering high quality, fun, affordable goods for diverse and progressive social expression while providing quality service.” Many of their products come from local artists and range from creative stationary goods to jewelry, handbags, clothing and much more!
Greg’s
3707 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Also located in the Hawthorne district, Greg’s provides beautiful and colorful options for cards, stationery, random gifts and home décor that are anything but typical. Whether it’s tasteful greeting cards, vintage clocks, or goofy handbags shaped like chickens, you can count on finding something at Greg’s that you will not find anywhere else. Greg’s also uses the work of many local artists. Take a walk through Hawthorne and check them out on a lazy Sunday afternoon!
