Of course I had to buy a million adorable outfits for him. Inside Out carries a huge stock of the most precious onsies, lounge pants, shirts, and other clothes for babies and toddler. They had beach and outdoorsy themes that were perfect for what I was looking for. They also carry women's and men's clothes, jewelry, knick knacks, candles and other gifts. It's a great one stop shop for gift buying with super friendly staff. They offered to take my items to the register while I finished shopping. One of my favorite boutiques in town.

Oh, there's also a small sales section tucked in the corner of the room! I had one H E C K of a good time browsing the stationery + prints sections where I picked out a peach gel pen, an adorable animal sticker sheet, and a fun pug print (which came with an envelope!). I'd highly recommend checking this store out for all things artsy, neat, whimsical, and fun.

I'm trying to understand what the big draw is for this place. Our hostess took us here and told us…read morehow amazing it is. I'd say there are some cute/ humorous things available to purchase. I'd also say for every item on that list there are 10 junk / ridiculous items of dollar store quality at tourist prices. I didn't see anything I'd say was truly unique. Essentially, it's a joke store, Spencer's, main street store and tourist shop all in one. The goal appears to be adult-ish humor, tho I'm guessing it's around the Ace Ventura level...

Omg this place is fun!!! Not really suitable for children in that there's a lot of adult humor…read more Just be prepared to have to do a lot of explaining. I could have stayed in here for easily two hours however it was getting super crowded. I definitely bought a few things for friends. The great thing about this place is you can also take pictures. Other stores like this in "tourist areas" have a no pictures policy... idk I would highly recommend this place for silly novelty gifts and cards. The prices weren't bad, especially when you consider this is "speciality" stuff. The only staff I saw around were the ones at the register area. They were nice and seemed amused by the conversations and laughter they were seeing throughout the store. I can't wait to go back! Lol

What a great idea for any friend-group, couples outing, or to come on your own even!…read more All the materials are provided and the staff working are all so nice and knowledgeable. There's a whole wall of different candle scents and there's an awesome list of scents that pair well together if you don't know where to start. I went with a more "clean bathroom" scent and found 3 scents that were suggested on their list. I love the smell of my candle!! Once you've chosen your scents, chosen your vessel, stirred everything in your vessel for 5-7 mins, and labeled it yours, you have to wait 2.5-3 hours for the wax to set. This called for a perfect day-trip walking around the shops in Portsmouth and we also had time grabbed a bite before picking up our candles and heading home. Also - they've got a cute gift shop area featuring local artists and businesses in the area. The 4 of us all had different approaches to our scents and were all obsessed. I'm definitely gonna come back when I'm due for a new Christmas candle!!

Wasn't the best experience. Arrived a bit late and were told several times, by several staff…read moremembers that we had limitied time to create the candle, and was totally rushed through the process. The staff was so worried about a party of 9 that were coming in at 1:00PM, that they could care less about our party of 3 that were sitting there. After finishing on time, paying, using the restroom, gathering our belongings and looking around the shop, we were out the door by approx. 1:20. The party of 9 still had yet to arrive, and I wouldn't be surprised if they never showed. Since no credit card or deposit is needed to hold your seat, there is really no committment, so I'm sure it happens alot. FYI: Just to be clear, anyone making candles on Mother's Day was offered a 10% discount! The owners aren't very business savy. Wouldn't recommend going.
