Where to Buy Gifts in Tacoma
Rankos' Stadium Pharmacy

“Rankos' Stadium Pharmacy in the Stadium District Association is really a fabulous gift store as well as a pharmacy! They offer free gift wrapping, too. And don’t forget the post office inside Rankos where you can conveniently mail your cards and gifts!”

“My wife absolutely loves Compass Rose on Proctor! Great gifts, cards, jewelry, and gift cards. And they gift wrap on site.”
Peaks and Pints

“If you know me and my buddies, then you know beer/cider make great holiday gifts that are sure to be appreciated. This establishment offers hundreds of bottle and growler selections. And you can enjoy a scrumptious sandwich and beverage on site while you peruse the crafty collection.”
Dragonfly Gift Store
Website / Facebook / Instagram
“This shop on Broadway in Downtown Tacoma is filled with eclectic and unique trinkets. The local owner Eric creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere for anyone who walks into his shop. He travels often to find alluring items to put in his store, and it’s a new experience every time I have visited. I love browsing here for decor, gifts, and local art.”
Viva Tacoma
Website / Facebook / Instagram
“Viva Tacoma is a family owned and operated restaurant in Proctor that serves food that is 100% vegan, gluten free, & as organic as possible. There are amazing bakery options for people with food restrictions, as well as a few sugar-free options! Could be awesome for gifts or a party in a pinch.”
Tacoma Museum Quality Framing
Website / Facebook / Instagram
“Framed pictures or artwork can be a thoughtful gift for the holidays. They also create metal transfers: Just provide a picture, or a digital copy of your favorite concert poster or marvel comic—you name it—and they transfer it onto metal. So cool!”
Where to Buy Gifts in Puyallup
Milk and Honey Charcuterie
Website / Facebook / Instagram
“Milk and Honey Charcuterie is in Downtown Puyallup next to Anthem. Catherine makes speciality boxes and hosts parties putting together trays. You can give a specialty box as a gift or set up a party to make a tray. She's partnered with Board and Brush to do events as well. If you want to make someone feel super special, this is the way to go!”
The Mix Salsa
Website / Instagram
“The Mix Salsa in Puyallup is a one-woman operation that is locally owned, and this made-from-scratch salsa business offers an evolving line of fresh flavors. All salsas are gluten, dairy, and sugar free! She's even curated a flavor sans tomatoes, inspired by a friend with cancer whose treatment regimen does not tolerate nutrients found in tomatoes. She's at just about every pop-up shop in the Puyallup-Sumner area and sells out every time! My personal fave is Avocado Verde. She has a gift pack of three 8 oz. salsas, or you can mix and match the full size 16 oz. containers. They make great gifts for foodies, spicy palates, and even the person who has everything. If you're the host, offer some tortilla chips and it's guaranteed rave reviews at your next holiday event.”
Pink Chandelier
Website / Facebook / Instagram
“Pink Chandelier is the most beautiful boutique in Downtown Puyallup. A pink chandelier adorns the entrance above a pink grand piano. You’ll find home decor, women's clothing, accessories, a sweet shop, and the cutest, tastiest coffee and tea bar with wi-fi and French bistro vibes. It’s my favorite shop to not only peruse but also for a quiet treat, like a fresh scone and coffee while working on my computer. And the lemon curd... oh my!”
