This is a no-shame zone.
We’ve all been there. It’s a special holiday, celebration, or event, and our day just runs away with us. Perhaps you had a dozen extremely above-par ideas floating through your head and you just couldn’t pull the trigger on one of them.
Regardless of how you got here, it’s nearing the end of the workday, and there’s a loved one at home deserving of something special.
Here are five of the best shops in Portland to get that last-minute Valentine’s Day gift.

A classic go-to for this time of year, chocolate is almost always a good idea. It’s part of the holiday and, unless otherwise specifically declined, is probably going to save you on your journey home tonight. Moonstruck Chocolate Co in Portland offers some unique combinations, sets, and truffles.

It’s hard to find something to gift someone. One thing we know for sure is that everyone loves a useful gift. Woodwinkel is home to some of Portland’s most adorable and unique pots, housewares, and essentials. Get that special someone something they can actually enjoy (not to throw chocolates under the bus)!

Phone: 503-334-2088
Wildfang
The hottest spot in town for fierce feminist fashions, Wildfang is a pretty stellar place to grab a last-minute gift for your person. They carry a wide range of fashion pieces (including a sale on empower styles going on right now) and accessories.

Cacao: Drink Chocolate

We’d be remiss if we didn’t include more than one chocolate-based option on this list. Cacao is a real treat (pun completely intended) for chocolate lovers. This shop specializes in Cacao in forms beyond that of traditional bars or bite-sized eats, though they also carry lots of those. Think hot chocolates, drinking chocolates, and baking chocolates.
Address: 414 SW 13th Avenue, Portland
