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 !!

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.

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.
