If you are a local or visiting and you only make time for one souvenir/gift shop make it this one…read more Everything they have are made by locals which is great place to support local makers/artists. They have a ton of variety including smaller less expensive items to larger paintings that may cost more. Staff have always been extremely friendly and will greet you with a smile and answer any questions you have. It will always be the store that helped me find one of my favorite local artists Flyn who have since opened their own retail space. Truly the perfect spot to grab yourself or family that item that will remind you of your time in Maine. You will find at least one item you want to purchase if not more. Also you can proudly say that you helped support a local artist/maker. 100% worth your time visiting! As a local I make a point to revisit this place frequently.

They had lots of cute items, like stickers that were designed and made by locals and employees. They had these cute pins that they offered to my kids to get out of the machines - which they had given us the quarters for. Definitely a great place to check out and visit!

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!

Their magnet collection was gigantic, never seen any store to have such huge variety of magnet items. They also had caps, cups, apparels, stickers, local candies, maple syrup and a lot of other products. I spent a whole of time picking the two magnets I wanted. I also bought a decorative steel sign and few stickers. I compared their prices to other nearby stores, and it was on par or cheaper. The lady at register was very friendly, helped us with quick checkout and nicely packed all our items. It's a must visit store when you are in Old Port.

The Mangy Moose and I go way back - during my childhood trips to Maine we would frequently stop in…read moreFreeport 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.

I got my fill of postcards and couldn't leave without buying a jar of made in Maine with Maine blueberries... Blueberry Jam. The photos on their web page show the tip of the iceberg that is the Trading Post. If visiting anywhere in the area, you will want to make this a must visit.

Leaving the house at…read more8:30am, I paid $2 to park for an hour down the block, walked to the shop to find posted hours differed and I was 3 hours early. On Friday, I went back, at 3:30pm, their "OPEN" sign is out so I again parked at the $2 lot, walked the block only to find they are "gone to lunch." Understandable during this off-season (9/24/2025 and 9/26/2025) but my parking expires at 4:25pm. So I wait until 4, hoping to get my friends and family gifts they asked for and thinking "Supporting Local Artists can be difficult"

A Maine gift shop, everything we carry is designed and/or made in Maine (we partner with 100+ artists). We sell several fun styles of Maine t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies in sizes from newborn to 5XL. Our Maine hat collection includes beanies, trucker hats, and flat brim in a variety of styles and colors. We also carry kids apparel, tote bags, stickers, jewelry, and lots of items featuring the popular 1901 Maine flag.

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
