“*September 2025 update. I contacted Newport Scrimshanders again for another custom ring. Mr. Kiracofe's scrimshaw skills are simply a treasure. I presented him with an idea and he brought it to be. Incredibly satisfied with him and the business. If I could give another 5x stars I would, so I suppose that makes it 10x now.
I contacted Newport Scrimshanders about a custom ring. Mr. Kiracofe responded within 24 hours, I easily placed my order over the phone the following day with the store, and just received the ring (beautiful green clover men's ring). Reasonable price, excellent customer service, and overall stellar experience.”
“I wore shorts and a t-shirt to Newport on a recent day trip with friends. It turned out to be much chillier 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!”
“Amazing store! My sister, my daughter and I got bracelets and we love them. Deborah is very kind and she made our experience at Friendly Harbor unforgettable. We will definitely be returning.”
“I met the owner and she was FANTASTIC! Excellent customer service - warm and welcoming! I got t-shirts at a great price, and the rest of the store was well curated. Something for everyone! Highly recommend this cute shop ☺️”

“At recent visit to Newport, 1st time tour of The Breakers & its gift shop..Being an unabashed feminist, I could barely stop myself fm overbuying the capacity of my luggage with all the suffragette offerings: literature, high quality pro-women & nautical themed home items. Could it be that my coffee tastes better from a Votes for Women cup/saucer? LOL. Yes, I think so!”
“Omg! What a fun and unique store! The sensitive person that gave this store a 1 star review because their feeling were hurt is hilarious. You poor little person with no sense of humor. No wonder you didn't like this store, wahhhhhhh, Snowflake.Go in this store, support small businesses! Such fun things. Great store for white elephant ideas!”
