I went in around closing time. I myself work in retail. When I entered the store, the staff working…read morewere leaning on the counter and didn't pay any attention to me. I asked if they were closing soon and she was very disrespectful towards me and said I had about a minute and a half before I needed to leave. She walked away from me while talking, being disrespectful with her tone of voice. I left without buying anything and my service towards them will be no longer with the amount of disrespect I received.

This little shop surprised me. I wandered in for about 10 minutes while waiting for my sandwich…read morefrom the deli to be ready. It's larger than it looks and has some of the nicest souvenirs I saw walking the Main Street. Mugs, clothing, toys, magnets, lobster-themed items galore. I saw several things I liked and got a magnet, a sweater, and some candy for my husband while inside. Really friendly staff working the counter. If you walk to the back there is a small porch with a view of the water.

It pays to read blogs. I read someone's blog who traveled throughout Maine, and she talked about…read moresights she saw, places she ate, and things she bought along the way. The Smiling Cow was one such place, and like with everything she wrote, she was spot-on accurate with her assessments. I have two grandchildren, so all shopping is based on what to buy THEM. Not me or my husband, not my daughters or son-in-law, but my grandchildren. So, of course, I made my way to the stuffed animals and Christmas ornaments where I was able to find some things to buy. Very cute things. I wish my back didn't start aching, or I would've likely bought more things. I guess that's a good reason to return some day. One can hope.

This is a nice candy store. I love shopping here for candy you can't typically find in a drug…read morestore. For example they don't sell regular M&Ms, at least not regularly. Parking - there is street parking on Main St. Or you can park on the concourse on the other side of the buildings. They have a wonderful of fun candy that you might remember from past decades, they have wonderful truffles. Bulk candy, like Jelly belly and seasonal candy offerings as well. This is one of the few places I can find Butter Rum LifeSavers for my friend. This candy store isn't too big or too small. There a ton of variety for everyone AND they are great at managing stock - I have never found an expired product there. The staff is welcoming. I have always been greeted when walking in. During the Halloween on Main St celebration each year, they have one of the best trick-or-treat spots! I enjoy visiting and shopping here whenever I'm in the area.

Monkitree is THAT place, for Gardiner. The owner features local artisans from across Maine, in a variety of themes. Textiles, jewelry, fine art, kitchen goods, small games and puzzles, coffee, chocolates, and a few unique items of clothing. There's a few things that a true to Gardiner here, that feature fish (alewives), the Kennebec River and the sturgeon. I'd say the prices are on par with the quality of the work shown in the shop.

This is a great place to buy a gift for someone who you actually want to buy a gift for or just chill out and talk about politics in the back room. I think they stopped allowing smoking since the pandemic, but this is just one of those amazing little gems. If you're in the area I think you should check it out as it is truly unique.

It's gone through a change in ownership since my last review. While some of the items have changed, most has remained the same. The inventory has definitely grown and there's not as many "local Maine" items as there was. But it's all high quality, hand picked special things that need to find a home in your house. I just know whomever does the shopping to stock this store, is living their absolute best life when they go out on the hunt to source their products.

We love sourcing handmade and locally made treasures whenever possible. If you're looking for a new outfit, a present for a new baby and young ones alike, or a thoughtful gift for that hard to shop for person we are ready to greet you with a smile!" There's Maine-themed stuff, Maine-made stuff, ocean themed stuff, baby stuff, kitschy stuff, women's clothing, books, bags, candles, mugs, jewelry, and so, so much more. From my limited experience, they also really bring the holidays to life here, so if you were to visit around Easter it would be "dressed-up" differently than if you visited around Halloween. It makes you want to come back because... what seasonal gifties might you find?! A tiny chick-still-in-the-shell stuffed animal or an adorable bat print onesie? Depends on when you come. When I first came it was just to browse (I get the sense that if you wanted to visit, and reeeeaaaaally take your time just looking around, that would be totally okay!), but ended up buying 1) a really sturdy metal hair clip (that I was promised wouldn't break like all the plastic ones do) in white pearlescent and gold, and 2) *the cutest* retro, 90's-like, multi-strand necklace in pink cord, gold chain, and little cubes. Hard to describe, but it gives Taylor Swift Friendship Bracelet vibes. This warm and inviting place is one you really have to come see for yourself. Say hi to owner Hannah, she's positively lovely!
