What better way can we spend our evenings than by building some intricate (or simple, if that’s your bag) Lego sets? At Bricks and Minifigs, Portlandians can secure their building-block entertainment. While the company is not a Portland-born business, Bricks is a franchising brand, so you know that your dollars go towards supporting Oregonians.

Plant, decor, and textile heaven Appetite has shifted its business to offer superior online shopping experiences, including a plants-shipped-to-your-home service that can bring a little sunshine and greenery to your world.
Bike Gallery

We may not have the free reign of our city that we normally do, but many (over decades) have attributed their zen to the care and maintenance of their mode of transportation. Being that PDX is normally flush with cycles, the Bike Gallery and their online shop are easy options to get what you need while supporting local.
