Since 1989, Presents of Mind’s goal has been to pursue the latest and greatest, the classic and trendy — in short, all things cool.

Located in the historic Hawthorne district, the quintessentially Portland shop is one part card and gift store and one part boutique, according to owner Seasons Koll. “We are constantly on the prowl for new and unique items and are dedicated to carrying and supporting local and independent designers,” she said.

“We specialize in having gifts for all as well as the cards and wrap to make the gift complete,” Koll added. “We have large selections at every price range of suitable gifts for all ages and styles with a heavy focus on locally produced, eco-friendly and the Portland aesthetic.”

Customers flock to the store for the massive selection of gift items along with the huge card and wrap options — a one-stop shopping experience.

“People come by on their way to a party and still blow everyone away with their gift like they had planned for weeks,” Koll said.
