They also have gift bags, souvenirs, hats, apparels, magnets, stickers, mugs and few more types of products, but not as much variety as the cards.

It's a good store for anyone looking for unique custom handmade card.

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.

All of the items I purchased for myself, friends and family were well made, stunning and highest of quality. I will go back. I'm thrilled for each and every product I purchased. The owners and workers are so very helpful, kind and supportive! My daughter and I felt special with their knowledge of the products and assistance in finding all that we were able to purchase. There are so many educational products for children, including glow in the dark t-shirts made 100% cotton. All the t-shirts are made beautiful too with a large selection too. Earrings so lovely and sectioned off by type including for sensitive ears. I hope it's open for another 50 years, thank you for stellar service and the wonderful gifts I have to share my time there!

They really curate a wide selection of products to choose from, the prices are so reasonable (especially when you consider most of it is hand made or small batch), and you can feel good knowing your money is staying in-state.

My wife and I have previously visited another location of Lisa-Marie's and enjoyed seeing the variety of local creations. The variety really was vast enough that everyone who steps in will find something that appeals to them! They do ask to have no photos be taken out of respect of the artists. A spot worth visiting for both tourists and locals alike. A better alternative than some of the more cheap rip off gift shops that feature nothing locally made. Can be that thing you bring home to remember your trip to Maine. While we did not buy anything during our visit in we enjoyed browsing seeing everything.

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!

Etsy/garage sale, and any other way you'd like to describe is appropriate. Some will make you want to buy it instantly while some others may make you question who in the world would buy it besides as a gag gift. For example, some stickers of not safe for work body parts that are not close to being anatomically correct or doing lewd acts, that will give you some laughs while looking at them. Even if you are just looking to browse and not buy I believe this is a store worth checking out! The worker was friendly enough and tried greeting those who entered. Prices are hard to judge as I think some of the items are unlikely to be found many other spots so the value is up to the buyer. Like I said though worth a stop in even just for a quick Look around!
