Lincoln City has tons of great local shops selling everything from handcrafted gift items to books and records. Pick up your own kite after one of the annual kite festivals at Winddriven, which specializes not just in kites but in all things wind-driven, from fanciful metal garden-art pieces that spin in the breeze to decorative windsocks and flags. For a special gift, make your way to Mossy Creek Pottery, a beautiful farmhouse gallery and shop that has been showcasing the masterful creations of Oregon potters since it opened in 1973. Crystals, candles, tarot card decks and incense burners summon visitors to Tah·Lume Curiosities and Gifts in the Nelscott District. This little shop also stocks a wide array of art pieces that range from vintage floral prints to whimsical sculptures of mushrooms and gnomes.
