The Blue Lobster has mugs, hats, magnets, merch and much more! I almost spent my entire check in there! Their store is spacious too so it's quite easy to move around and shop freely. I spent a good amount of time browsing. I purchased 2 long sleeve tops and a few magnets. This place is conveniently located right in downtown Portland with affordable pricing. Highly recommend!

The first gift shop we visited didn't have postcards, so they recommended Cool As A Moose. I'm so…read moreglad I went! They had an amazing variety of gifts from Maine/Portland, and everything was fairly priced. I ended up buying 11 postcards for just $10.50 -- a steal compared to what I've seen at other gift shops when traveling around. The postcards were also beautiful and very high quality. I can't wait to come here again.

This is a very popular gift shop at the heart of Old Port. They really embrace the shipwreck and…read morepirate theme, as multiple parts of the store are designed for this theme. There's a pirate statue outside the store, a popular photo spot for visitors. They have a lot of souvenir and gift items related to this theme. The aisles are really slim, so prepare to run into other people a lot. The store has plenty of unique items including apparel, decor pieces, magnets, books, cookware and lots more. Prices are comparable to other gift shops nearby. They have multiple registers to keep the checkout line moving. Staff are friendly and helpful.

If you are looking for a gift shop that truly supports local creators/artists this is your shop to…read morevisit. My wife and I have previously visited another location of Lisa-Marie's and enjoyed seeing the variety of local creations. The variety really was vast enough that everyone who steps in will find something that appeals to them! They do ask to have no photos be taken out of respect of the artists. A spot worth visiting for both tourists and locals alike. A better alternative than some of the more cheap rip off gift shops that feature nothing locally made. Can be that thing you bring home to remember your trip to Maine. While we did not buy anything during our visit in we enjoyed browsing seeing everything.

We all ended up picking out a few things and some fun items/ art to take back home. The staff was super nice and made small talk and were very accommodating. They took extra care & packed up our items for traveling back home. We would recommend and definitely come back again on our next trip.

I believe the artist is local and we saw one other print machine at the Warby Parker but it looks like a different variety. There are so many cute greeting cards, matches, perfumes, candles, etc and it was all so tempting! I left with one mini print (the cashiers will trade you for quarters, super helpful) and some perfume! If you're looking to do some fun shopping in Portland this store is definitely worth a stop.

It feels like you've stepped into someone's home or personal art gallery (a relaxed one run by super nice, super hip people you could kick back and have a local beer with, not the stuffy kind that won't let you touch anything and watches you like a hawk as you peruse). But this is a shop. One where you can purchase (without breaking the bank, might I add) seaweed specialty foods (like granola bars, sauces, teas), seaweed and sea inspired bath and body items (DYK: seaweed is rich in vitamins, minerals, and contains anti-inflammatory properties?!), seaweed and sea inspired home goods, and more. I believe most (if not all) of their items are also local and sustainably sourced. Could it get better? YES. Because, they've got a beautiful focus on education and ocean conservation as well - so you can buy reusable, non-breakable straws, wine cups, and pints here. #beatplasticpollution As a mermaid, this has easily become my favorite store in all of Portland.

I walked away with some cute shower aromatherapy scent bombs which i've never seen before, that made my giftees super super happy!

Think trinkets, unique gifts, spiritual based items and more can be found here. Also must give praise that the owner did a great job decorating the space. Prices seemed reasonable as well so no complaints in that aspect. While we did not buy anything during our stop we appreciated a lot of items. Some of the items were quite funny with some adult humor including some candles with names such as "Sample My Box" as a valentines themed candle as one example. Definitely had some laughs at those items. If oddities, metaphysical, witch, magic based items give this place a chance.

They offer an array of trinkets, clothing, books, tarot cards, jewelry, and more, all geared towards the modern witch, Wiccan, or spiritual person. They even have Krampus-themed goodies! It's a cozy space that is expertly decorated; it's easy to connect with your inner witch, whether you're a seasoned practitioner or curious about the practice. The owner (Patti), is exceptionally kind and fun to talk to. You can tell how passionate she is about the store and the beliefs that fueled its inception. I can't wait to check out the tarot and astrology readings that will be available soon, or the spooky Christmas decor!
