Gift Shops in Damariscotta, ME

“Every summer, I find THE softest, cutest Maine hoodies for my grandsons here! Last year, I even matched them with a hoodie of my own. . .can't wait to see 2024 hoodies. :o)”

“What a lovely shop! As we entered, Rick, the kind shopkeeper, said "Are you okay with dogs?" And we said "Sure! Are you okay with kids?" He was, and he let the three kids pet Digger, his dog, while my sister and I looked around at all the paintings, prints, jewelry, and sculptures by different artists. We bought three beautiful glass buoys to hang in our windows. Thank you for such a friendly, welcoming experience! You run a beautiful, sunny little gallery and we'll be back again someday.”

“I ordered a barrel mug for my husband for Christmas, online. It was defective and leaked from the handle as soon as he put liquid in it. I called and was met with skepticism because “that never happens.” I was offered to mail it back and they’d mail me a replacement but because Sheepscot Is around a half hour away, I decided to make the return in person, which would give me the opportunity to shop the store. The Damariscotta location had a mug I could swap with and they held it for me. My husband, college aged daughter and I drove to the location to pick up the mug. We noted the sign on the door indicating masks were not required so we entered without a mask. We were immediately confronted by the employee, asking us to wear a mask. We all put on masks and I suggested they change the sign if they require masks or want customers to wear masks in the store. I was not offered a refund for my original shipping cost and my thanks for driving an hour or more round trip to correct their mistake was being accosted as I entered the door. I found this very off putting. The mug is lovely. They have beautiful pottery. I will not go back until masks are a thing if the past.”
