Full Shop One of…read moreeight locally-owned and operated gift shops located throughout the Bar Harbor area. The Good: *Lots of gift options to bring back for friends and family with tons of Maine inspired food items. *Acadia National Park swag *Friendly service *Store is clean and well laid-out The Meh: *Some of the items weren't priced, which is one of the bugaboos at stores like this. I know, I know... If you have to ask... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *Speaking of pricing, it was actually not too bad ask things considered--but we're from Cali so just try and shock us. :) The Ugly: *Zero cell reception inside the building and surrounding area. Conclusion: Nice spot to pick up Acadia National Park and Maine themed gifts at reasonable prices.

Loved everything in this store! Not only did this store have something for everyone, it was also…read moreopen past 9pm on a weeknight. That is dedication! The store owner/salesperson was very sweet and patient with the several people who wandered in after having dinner nearby on a spring evening. From nautical clothing to nice affordable beach themed jewelry, and picture frames to souvenir glasses with lighthouses and anchors on them, they really had a lot to offer the average tourist. I don't know the next time I'll be in this area but if I find myself here I will make the effort to get to this wonderful shop by the water!

I know that five stars for this Bar Harbor tourist shop may sound a little excessive, but hear me…read moreout. 1. This shop is a bit smaller than some of the other "tourist trap" shops along the strip, but they have a decent selection of high quality items at competitive prices. 2. This shop is dog friendly and also has the cutest dog who is the shops unofficial mascot. He I older and blind but still incredibly adorable. 3. The staff here is exceptional. They are incredibly receptive to customers but not overbearing and intrusive. The staff here was actually the nicest staff we interacted with while in Bar Harbor. 4. They not only have your generic run of the mill tourist attire, but have a huge selection of hand crafted items from local vendors. The jewelry here was gorgeous and I almost died laughing at a lobster calendar which was made by a local lobster fisherman. Overall, this store deserves the five stars because they treat their customers right and have a great selection of items. A few smiles, small talk and a welcoming vibe goes a long way for me!

If there's one place I can do some serious gift shopping for my family, it's in Bar Harbor. But not…read moreso fast- because around all the main attractions spots, I mainly found touristy souvenir shops with key chains. YAWN! Every time I'm vacationing, I'm always on the look-out for interesting shops that sell items worth my money to give away. My Darling Maine Island Boutique is another great Bar Harbor Gift Shop on Cottage Rd where you can pick up really interesting keepsakes. No- you're not going to find the mundane souvenirs here. What you'll find are gifts with a purpose, many with a twist and a message from local artists. Victoria and I caught up via email and phone to solidify my appointment. She was super accommodating to our schedules and opened her shop earlier than expected. Thank you so very much! Her shop has a little of everything including casual and funky clothes and other well-priced pieces that I snapped up for myself! She was beyond friendly and we practically talked for almost an hour. Love your energy girl! No doubt, you'll find one-of-a-kind "souvenirs" here.

I searched through dozens of Bar Harbor shops looking for a pair of touchstone earrings to remind me of the peace and joy I felt in Acadia this summer. Finally, I found delicate, handmade silver earrings shaped like blueberry leaves in My Darling Maine. Perfect! I wore them to work my first day back - and lost one. I was heartbroken. But I contacted Victoria to buy a replacement, and she took the time to send me individual pictures of every pair of blueberry leaf earrings she had in the shop (because they're all unique!) so I could choose. And then she mailed them to me in Virginia. Now my beautiful blueberry leaf earrings are a sweet reminder of our family vacation in Maine AND of the power kindness can have over loss. Thank you, Victoria!!!
