Nest is a summer shopping tradition when visitors come. It’s an emporium of delights, staffed by engaging, enthusiastic people. There is an extensive selection of household goods, many outdoor accessories, hardware, cards, puzzles, handbags, soaps, and ornaments galore! There is a special spot dedicated to children’s goods and a lower floor stocked with lamps, pillows, and home decor. It is my first stop for gifts and home projects throughout the year. A happy spot with something for everyone.

The rudest clerks in Maine. 4 were there today. No acknowledgement whatsoever. And not the first, or second, or third time this has happened...walked out.

THE go to place for excellent gifts and home wares. Love the selection of little vases, soaps, jewelry, coffee mugs, notebooks...just everything! Every time I go into this store, I want to buy way too many things. Check it out!

They don't know their own merchandise. Wanted to buy a teapot, asked how much it held, they guessed 8 oz. And said it was a guess.
A while ago, I asked how much liquid a cup held. They had no idea, and never said we can check for you.

I found so many things I wish I could have taken home with me, so I picked up a few things.

I've been to this place a few or so times and each time I had a pleasant experience and I always like the selection. I recently did purchase an item that turned out to be defective. As mentioned on the receipt, I returned within the thirty day window and got store credit of which I immediately used to buy other items. I like this place so far. I will continue to shop here.

I've recommended this store to everyone I know because I love the stuff they carry. You are guaranteed to find lots of stuff here that makes great gifts, which is why I insisted my 83 year old mother and my 14 year old kid head over there today, on Christmas Eve. Wow, was I excited! My kid noted a mug they liked. I set it aside with a lovely salesperson. I continue to shop, and ended up checking out with over $100 of stuff! But then my kid asked if I'd bought then the mug, explaining that they did NOT want it for Christmas, and they felt bad. So I waked the ten paces back to the counter from which I'd purchased many items just 2 minutes before, and explained my situation to the sales person. She noted I'd not even left the store yet. Then a commanding woman with white hair and stylish frames took over, asking, "What is the matter here?" I explained that my kid did not in fact like the mug. She told me I was welcome to swap it out with something else. I explained that I would prefer to return it. "We don't do returns. You can exchange it or we can give you a store credit." I mused aloud that I could pick something else out. She said, I kid you not, "You have ten minutes." They were about to close. My 83 year old mother was behind me, preparing to purchase something. I really felt just so angry at the manner in which this individual spoke with me. It was totally unnecessary, I felt all the Xmas spirit I mustered wither right then and there. The nice employee looked mortified. I said, "Never mind. I'll just put [the mug] in my airbnb," choosing instead to extricate myself from this toxic interaction. Once outside, my mother told me, "You should take your business elsewhere. There was no need for her to speak to you that way." And then my 14 nodded in agreement. All three of us were appalled. It had been such a nice day we'd spent together up until that point. Fortunately, we headed to Gulf of Maine Books right after that and met some of the nicest sales folks/business owners ever. Take your business there instead! In the future, I'll go to Nest and see what I like. Then I'll shop for all of those items online and get them way cheaper.Not only is the owner (if that is who this woman was) insanely rude, all of their products are marked way way up. As you can see, they made an impression. Happy Holidays to all! :)

Gorgeous shop. So many beautiful things and perfectly curated. The staff was lovely and I wish we had this store in Colorado.

Cute store, but the younger cashier with curly brown hair was very rude to me when the price of an item was initially charged incorrectly. I never write negative reviews but she was not nice at all!

A great store with a wide variety of unique items. Take a chance and walk in. You won't be sorry.
