I really love this store!
When I lived in the Seattle area, I visited the "Made in Washington" stores many, many times, as I love seeing what's happening, artistically and gourmet food-wise, on a local scale, and I love supporting local businesses. This Made in Oregon store is modeled on the same premise: showcasing and selling state-made and state-inspired goods and foodstuffs.
A sampling of what you will find here: locally grown and made or harvested honeys and jams and chocolates, ciders, t-shirts and hats, games and puzzles, artwork (painting, prints and sculptures), ornaments, ceramics, jewelry pieces, decals and souvenirs (all higher-end and well-made. Lots with a Bigfoot theme), drinking glasses and mugs, kitchen towels and more.
If you need to get someone a gift from Portland that you can't find elsewhere in any other state, this is the place. (I've a neighbor who does me a lot of favors, and she loves trying chocolates from different places, so this was a great store to get some gourmet local OR chocolate for her). You'd be hard-pressed not to find something for any specific person, truth be known. Yes, prices are high, but whenever one shops artisanal hand-made items or niche, local products, prices are always high. At least the quality and the uniqueness is there, and you are supporting local artists and a local economy.
