When I'm traveling, the one thing that is always so difficult to find is postcards…read more I was excited to see this store on US 1; it looked like a dream come true. 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.

I found a really cute sweater for my daughter in here and a bunch of other things that we could've…read morepurchased for ourselves. Husband loved the large hat selection. Staff were exceptionally nice in here. They stopped us and asked if my daughter already had a giant sticker and gave her one and then gave me a quarter to put in their little bubblegum machine which spit out a collectible Maine pin for her - hers just so happened to be Bluey who she is currently obsessed with. Needless to say - this shop was a big hit!

We're visiting from Chicago and this shop caught our eye as we were walking back from dinner…read more Everything in the store is made by local artists hence all the original designs. Employees were friendly and knowledgeable, able to tell you more about each artist and how most pieces came to be. Definitely go check it out, there is something for everyone. We would've purchased most of the items in the store if we could have.

She's got candles, shot glasses, T-shirt's, sweaters, hoodies, jackets, toys, lobster stuffies, old Maine flag items, hats, stickers galore and much much more. She works hard at getting a nice mix of colorful but useful items throughout the shop. There's also a small tasting room with beers brewed on the premises. They've also got canned and bottled beer for sale as well. So if you're ever visiting the area, I'd take a few minutes to pop on in and say hello. You might make a new forever friend, when buying some awesome Maine items !!

However, they…read moresell specialty beer, offer free tours (in season only), specialty sodas along with cool beer glasses.

In town for a week, I checked the website for hours: 9am-4:30pm it said. 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"

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.

Ok... if your looking for a tacky tourist souvenir shop, Blue Willow Gifts is NOT the place to go…read more Products here are of a better quality and some local artist have displays here some with handcrafted one of a kind décor. The displays are well presented with plenty of room to explore about (which I can honestly say was not the case a few years ago). The price point on some items might be considered high, but then they are probably not made in China either. The staff is quite friendly and can assist with your shopping needs.
