A Phnom Penh shop of Cambodian craft — every piece chosen by hand, for someone you like.
For Someone I Like opened in Toul Tompoung in 2017. Leakhena grew up in Connecticut, shaped by her mother — Sokhanarith Moeur, a classical Khmer dancer who taught her that what can be lost can also be kept. Leakhena came home to keep it.
The shop was her way back. A place to put the work of Cambodian artists, weavers, potters, distillers, printmakers, and designers under one roof. A place to say: this is where we come from. Look at what we make.
To help people feel connected to their culture, their community, and each other.
Leakhena runs the shop with her husband Daniel; her father is still in Connecticut, a steady presence from the other side of the ocean. Together they are raising a five-year-old daughter — the next small keeper of what the family carries.

This store is gorgeous. A huge range of made-in-Cambodia products — gifts, clothes, homewares, art, jewelry, and more. The space is welcoming and beautifully curated. We return again and again and always find new treasures.
This is one of my favorite spaces in Phnom Penh. If you need gifts, souvenirs, or items for yourself, this is a must-go place. The owner collects beautiful artworks and handmade artisan products. Don't miss it!
A gem of a store. Beautiful shop, excellent and friendly service, our children were welcome. Beautiful and authentic Khmer merchandise. We came for pottery and found handmade mugs that felt beautiful in the hand. Well worth a visit.
Lovely owners and a wonderfully curated space. We love that the shop represents so many local artists and craftsmen from Cambodia. We ended up purchasing quite a few items and can't wait to hang up our new artworks.
Each week we sit down with one of our makers and ask them the same few questions. Their answers, in their words.
New entries, first-look arrivals, seasonal notes. We write when there is something to say — never more often than that.

A small Cambodian press makes a beautiful illustrated pocket map of Phnom Penh. We carry it in the shop — and we're on it.
