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!

They had an amazing variety of gifts from Maine/Portland, and everything was fairly priced.

I can't wait to come here again.

Love those maple candies. We usually bring the little kids here to pick out a little toy or book. I love getting our Maine themed hats here for our friends from away. Maine flag hats are great many to pick from. The rope mats are great. I love picking up blank stationary from here as well. The prices aren't bad for a touristy area, especially when you can do a lot of your shopping for souvenirs in one place. The store is always stocked and neat. There were a few people working the store - most were behind the register. They were nice and focused on the customer. We always stop here with family and friends visiting Maine. Parking within walking distance. Easy to find right on Maine street.

Located right on Commercial Street is the perfect location to catch the eyes of tourists. It is a good sized store although some spots if busy can turn into a traffic jam of people. They have a large variety of Maine clothing and random assortment of things to remind you of your trip to Portland. A lot of prices were what you would expect of a tourist hot spot gift shop. No interaction with staff ourselves but they seemed friendly with customers who bought items. Good enough to look around, but if you have the time check out the similar nearby stores as well! You may find better deals and/or items.

On the 1st floor, you can find snacks like fudge and t-shirts. But if you go up to the 2nd floor, you'll find a wide assortment of Christmas ornaments. Service is OK and prices can vary a lot for different items. Note - there are no public restroom facilities inside the store. Instead, you will be directed to an outside port-a-potty. Therefore, I would go to a public restroom near close to the intersection of Route 24 and U.S. 1 (perhaps at a McDonald's) before the 20-minute journey to Land's End.

Well, stop I did, to see if they had a gift for a friend's birthday. First, I love any store that smells like balsam as you walk through the door. The scent makes me feel like a kid again. I'm not from Maine (have been here long enough to feel at home), but as a kid we used to drive here from Ohio and spend a few weeks going up and down the coast. The smell of balsam reminds me of these trips. Second, I was shocked by the variety they had. Maple syrup, Maine souvenirs, crafting supplies, wooden figurines, and antiques. The have a sign stating that they "glue chairs". I didn't know that was a thing, but apparently, it is... They also sell wreaths and Christmas trees during the appropriate season. And finally, the owners were as nice as could be. They had out hot chocolate for the kids, and they wrapped my little gift up neatly. This little shop is well worth the drive into town because of how darn cute it is!

Leading into the wedding we knew we wanted to use all local Maine florals, laidback bud vases that didn't feel overdone but were beautiful in their uniqueness, and happy colors. Megan was able to take what we were envisioning, talk us through how she could execute it and enhance it, and exceeded anything we could have imagined. From the individual flowers that she selected to how they were arranged for our ceremony chuppah, our beautiful small bouquets, and our magical table arrangements, they made every moment of our day and night feel magical, they were scene-setting florals. We highly recommend hiring Field Floral Studio, for Megan's knack for picking the perfect unique flowers, eye for stunning arrangements, and for the all around laidback but professional experience.
