I wore shorts and a t-shirt to Newport on a recent day trip with friends. It turned out to be much…read morechillier in the morning than I anticipated, so I decided a souvenir long-sleeve shirt would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe. We happened to park near Frazzleberries, which I'd consider a more upscale souvenir shop. They have lots of high-quality goods -- gifts, magnets, clothing, etc. I was looking at a different shirt when a friend pointed out one that was SUPER soft. I tried it on and was immediately sold. The fit, the material, all great, and at a reasonable price. I want to say $35? I also bought a very nice Newport magnet at the checkout counter. A very successful visit!

Full disclosure: I am a big Nicholas Cage fan. So, when our Gansett Cruises tour guide told us that…read moreformer Newport mansion owner/resident Nicholas Cage frequented Scrimshanders due to his love of scrimshaw and his nautical and paleontological interests, this became a must-visit spot for me. I fanned out on the boat when I heard that factoid and then later in the store - to my husband's amusement. (I grilled the two staffers who were working that evening about Nicolas Cage ) Scrimshanders is a small store, but it is packed with what you could get as unique souvenirs/gifts but also inventory for more serious collectors ($$$). As a personal trinket for myself, I bought a nautical knotwork bracelet. For my musician husband, I gifted him a whalebone guitar pick that had hand painted illustration on it; it was a perfect gift that would serve as a way for him to remember our first trip to Newport together.
