This is a really cute and well-stocked shop. I saw easily about 10 things I could've purchased inside and found a beautiful mug I hadn't seen anywhere. Staff welcomed me and I enjoyed roaming around looking at the art, mugs, magnets, home goods and decor inside. Definitely worth a stop! I found several things to take back for myself and family and friends plus, a bunch of cute stuffed animals my daughter loved. read more

They can pack so many wonderful Maine gifts in this store. Every time I come home I have to stop in this store. Kitchen towels, Christmas tree ornaments, shirts, socks, kids toy/games, greeting cards. You're sure to find something here to bring home for yourself or a gift for someone else. Great store. Super friendly and helpful employees. This place makes me happy read more

Mangy Moose - This is my take away. And I'll wear it proudly - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Freeport, Maine

The Mangy Moose and I go way back - during my childhood trips to Maine we would frequently stop in Freeport for the day and visit this store during our shopping adventures. Since we were coming back down south from Wiscasset, we thought it would be a good idea to stop in Freeport and check out some of the shops. Mangy Moose was near the top of our list, so off we went. In essence, Mangy Moose is a gift shop that sells lots of souvenirs and other tchotchkes. You may be thinking that it's like every other souvenir shop in a touristy part of Maine - and I may agree with you to an extent. However, I like the fact that Mangy Moose is large and its selection is beyond what you would find elsewhere; I would argue that you would need to go to several stores to find what MM has under one roof. Clothing, jewelry, signs, books, housewares, holiday stuff, toys - it's all here. Also, the store is arranged nicely with lots of space to roam. Overall, if you're in Freeport I would definitely recommend stopping at Mangy Moose - it's a nice break from the typical outlets you find in the area and you may just leave with a little something. read more

This is a nice store to pop into and look around in Freeport, ME. They have a wide variety of items: t shirts, decorative items, old licence plates, greeting cards, table and kitchen ware, ME maple syrup and jellies and more. The store is visually appealing and well organized and is not as touristy as some other places. Prices pretty comparable. It is worth a stop in. read more

This was our favorite store in all of Maine and Massachusetts! There is such a variety of goods to please both tourists and locals. The products offered are top quality and the prices are very reasonable. The selection of children's books was phenomenal! In the course of two visits to this shop we purchased many different items. The sales staff is friendly and are there to help but otherwise just did their own thing while we took our time browsing. Well worth a visit! read more

Maine's timeline. I was shopping there last evening and asked a simple question about an item they sell, I was given a Rude Condescending answers and never plan to shop here again. read more

One of my favorite shops in Freeport! They have some of the best T-shirts and hoodies, a good selection of Maine related gifts, as well as other gifts. It's always fun to look around and buy a souvenir for myself or someone else. Something that took this place to the next level for me, was my most recent visit. My mom was looking at shirts and having trouble deciding between sizes. She asked one of the employees if she could try them on. The employee dropped what she was doing and took my mom downstairs to the employee bathroom so she could try her shirts on. The people who work at this shop have always been nice, but this took it to the next level. Definitely stop here! read more

We didn't have much time in Freeport and we picked this place based on the reviews- did not disappoint! Lots of fun quirky items as well as nice gift items and t shirts - something for everyone! As an added bonus- safety guidelines are all in place for a safe shopping experience! read more

This is the kind of store you want to find in Maine. Fantastic name. Loads of Maine-specific items, and a great place to stop if you're visiting and need something to bring home. Very eclectic mix of items. Prices vary wildly. Some things were a bargain and others were a bit too much for what you'd get - but that's how it is in many similar stores in New England. It was crowded (very popular!) when we went in. They allow dogs which is nice. I didn't buy anything but I loved browsing. You can spend quite a bit of time just looking at the displays and fun stuff they have for sale. read more

Fourth of July Weekend = Small Town America Shopping in Maine = Kitschy Little Shops As we were strolling down Main Street, we came upon this little shop and it's just one of those stuff shops you can't help but go look in Selection: I've got to be honest, it is a tourist shop. Lot's of "Maine" and "Freeport" things written all over your standard items, but it's also a shop that locals can enjoy. Once you shift past the typical souvenirs, you'll find a lot of things of interest: like books and Table Topics, kitschy magnets and home decor. There are lots of quirky knick-knacks: books, guides and entertaining items; as well as a lot of simply cool things that you'll almost really want. From jewelry for you mother to a wooden bear for that weird aunt, a neat little hand-made toy for your nephew or a moose pillow for your grandmother, it's all in here. Go, take a look around, it won't break the bank, but it will make you glad Maine has a lower sales tax. Venue: I'm not going to lie, this sort of store feels out of place to me in Freeport, not because it's not an outlet store (I remember Freeport back before it was outlet central) but because it feels like it belongs in Montana more than Maine. Turns out, there's a reason for that. The Mangy Moose is actually a small collection of chain stores that are based out Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Culture shock solved. Out-of-state feel aside, Mangy Moose draws the eye for exactly that reason. It's big, it's log-cabin like and completely different from the other stores that surround it. If you're looking for something of the beaten path, or a more original birthday gift or souvenir, stop by, you'll be able to find something. read more

A awesome gift shop across from L.L. Bean, the name caught my eye and we didn't walk out till each holding a shopping bag... Lots of humor/fun/country gifts, gifts for kids, cards, t-shirts, dolls, necklaces etc, but at a much higher quality than your usual run-of-the-mill gift shop. I found an adorable forest animal finger puppet set I previously purchased in Cali for a friend here at less than 1/3 the cost, hilarious but PG t-shirts for some friends, and fun signs to hang on the door. Great stop if you're looking for souvenirs. read more

Stopped in from out of town and truly enjoyed the local goodies at the Mangy Moose. It was a treat to support this local business and found unique, personal items to bring home with me. Extra thanks to the staff for welcoming us and providing a great shopping experience! read more

Fun place to shop with lots of interesting gift ideas. If you're in the area it's a must stop. Prices seem to be in line with other places. read more

Fun stuff. Friendly people. One of the better touristy stores I visited during my trip to Maine. Decent mix of real life stuff and tourist stuff. An awesome line of cards, called That's All. Sweet sale card bin for .95 and pens with a moose that slides back and forth in liquid for $2! read more

Kind of your basic JFT (junk for tourist) shop. That said, it's better than most. Employees were very pleasant. Good selection of hats, mugs, t-shirts, signs, decals, you name it. Some genuinely clever artwork on some of the t-shirts set them apart from the rest of the crowd. If you're looking for Maine-oriented souvenirs, you gotta check this place out. If you're above such things, better to just keep on walking. read more

I bought those socks that are all squished into a solid and you have to soak them in warm water to unravel them. They had moose on them. Good souvenir. read more

Loved this store!! It had tons of fun "animai" items! If you love moose! You'll love this store for sure! You can get tons of great gifts for anyone in your family. I even took a picture with the moose inside! Why the hell not! He was pretty fantastic!! read more

This is sort of an anomaly for Freeport (which is one big outdoor outlet mall). It's what's best described as an "oddity store". Think old time general store without the food. There are the usual assortment of tourist knick-knacks with "Maine" plastered all over them, but it also has a lot of games, handmade things (usually made in Maine), wooden kids' toys (very hard to find), as well as sculptured animals and stonecraft. Oh and jewelry too. There is probably something for everyone in this store from toddlers to teenage girls to old geezers to soccer moms to macho men. This place has it all. And the prices weren't that bad for a tourist trap, but not they're not great for an outlet store. (I picked up a card trivia game for $10 which is the retail price I've seen elsewhere.) It's unique shop that's worth a stop in Freeport's vanilla outlet store shopping. read more

I like this store. It has all sorts of moose / Maine / outdoorsman items, including poo books, kids books, jams, hot sauces, clothes, t-shirts, etc. Typical tourist shop plus a lot of nice extras. read more

We found everything we wanted and more. Be sure and ask Jackie and Courtney for anything! Such great folks!

Mangy Moose is such a cute and great store. We visited the store in Freeport, Maine on a recent trip and loved it.
