Starting the process

Candle making in Kennebunkport is fancy! Sea Love is modern sheik! Crisp whites, rope accents to tap into location identity and very modern shelving. It's upscale. I have done this candle making process before a year prior in Kansas City. Although Sea Love offered us aprons, high top tables, a personalized candle mixing expert and a nice view of the surrounding little city. The staff member at Sea Love was great! Super nice. Great with my pre-teen girls. Patient and appreciated their humor (even when I may not have.) She trusted them and let them jump in and do their thing. She also answered all my questions and I always have A LOT of questions! The whole process takes about 30-45 minutes. After that it's a few hours for pick up. We left and went for lunch and upon return our candles were ready for transport. The process: Pick your desired jar Choose different scents you like Hold the lids together to see if you think they pair well together *The following staff will walk you through: Mix Place the wick inside Pour Create your label Attach label Both girls walked away with a candle that was all their own and they had a nice time making them! (Even if my 12 year old named her scent something that I am not proud to share.)

Fiona was an amazing instructor. I had such a good time, and loved testing all the different fragrances. My partner and I made scents for each other and had such a lovely time exploring the smells together. Highly recommended

Absolutely loved visiting Sea Love today! Three of us walked in today and participated in the on site activity to "pour our own candles." We did not have a reservation. First, you pick the container. There are three options, ranging in size and price. Second, you pick your scents. There are over 100 scents to choose from, and you can add up to three per candle. Personally, I chose a 50/50 blend of "spa day" and "white tea." The result was a light and clean smell for everyday. Third, you work with the store associate to place the wick, pour the wax, and mix the scent in. It takes about two hours to set, so you can shop or dine in the area while you wait, or visit another day (they will hold the candle for you for up to 2 weeks). I would highly recommend for birthdays, bachelorettes, bridal parties, or even just a weekend or rainy day activity.

Great packaging for shipping and the peanuts are biodegradable

How do we get a virtual Yelp event here? I absolutely love everything about this place. How I found them from all the way in Florida: I attended one of those virtual FB parties for makeup, won a raffle, and a Salt Air wax melt sample from Sea Love was part of my prize. It was love at first smell! I looked them up and saw it was a small family owned business (yay) that uses safe, clean ingredients (double yay and two high fives). I placed an order for three candles and a room spray. I ended up gifting two of the candles and my other is almost gone. I just made an order for three more candles, another of which I'm gifting. They make the perfect gift. I appreciate the candle scents fill the room in a lovely, but not overpowering, way. I appreciate the glass container can be cleaned out and reused. I appreciate the candles are hand poured. I love it all. I've purchased all candles, scent unsmelled and have yet to be disappointed. My top 3 are: 1) Salty Air (it lives up to its name and reminds me of the salty air smell of the beach. If you tend to like the clean linen scents, this one's for you but better). 2) Endless Weekend (a nice, light lemon scent) 3) Low Country (this one is hard to explain. It's very different. I didn't like it at first whiff, but then I found it very calming, relaxing, enjoyable. It reminds me of something, but I haven't figured out what yet). Honorable Mention: Seaside Mimosa (like a bowl of fruity tangerines)

I did the candle made the experience and I had a blast doing it!

The most wonderful experience! The owner Barry was wicked sweet and made our bachelorette party feel very welcomed! All the scents were amazing it was so hard to choose and even harder choosing a cute holder for your candle! Being able To name your candle was a nice Touch and while you wait for Your candle to settle for two hours is a perfect time To experience kennebunkport which is beyond cute port town!

So fun! Highly Recommend the candle making experience! Plan for a 2 hour wait to pick up.

Years ago I was in Portland and ended up at this shop. I…read morebought a hand made pottery baby gull. I have always wanted another one and I was so excited to see they still had the artist!

Its nuts how The Whimsy Shop has been a staple in my memory of Kennebunkport from the early 90s yet…read moreit has so little Yelp reviews. I guess the typical shopper here doesn't actively use Yelp - but still! Anyway, I'm here to add to the review hat - as we were walking though Kennebunkport and stopped in on a...whim. Businesses come and go in Dock Square - some are new, others have been here since I first went to Maine as a child. The Whimsy Shop is on the latter end of that spectrum, and was always known for carrying more upscale gifts compared to a typical touristy souvenir shop. My brothers and I were looking for a gift to bring back to our parents from Maine, and thought this would be a good place to check out. The majority of their selection is home decor - there are a lot of porcelain products as well as a few housewares. They have pretty stuff, and even though it's a small store you can spend a good amount of time browsing. We ultimately decided to go with a hand-painted ceramic snowman to go with our parents' many other snowpeople they display during the holidays - it was intricately painted an truly a unique item. Service was friendly, they packed the item with care and even gave us information about the artist to take home. Overall, I had a great experience rediscovering the Whimsy Shop and would recommend it as a stop during your Kennebunkport explorations.
