Mangy Moose

Maine and moose go hand in hand. I love that this store exists — it’s such Maine!
There’s a lot to do in Freeport — shop at the outlets, visit the flagship LL Bean — but also be sure to visit here. It’s a fun shop that has a lot of little trinkets. In general, it’s a gift shop with an emphasis on moose — t-​shirts, magnets, books, stuffed animals, postcards, etc. It’s a great place to browse and the staff are very friendly.
A great place to pick up some uniquely Maine merchandise =)

Loved this store! It had tons of fun «animai» items! If you love moose! You’ll love this store for sure! You can get tons of great gifts for anyone in your family. I even took a picture with the moose inside! Why the hell not! He was pretty fantastic!

Fun place to shop with lots of interesting gift ideas. If you’re in the area it’s a must stop. Prices seem to be in line with other places.

A awesome gift shop across from L.L. Bean, the name caught my eye and we didn’t walk out till each holding a shopping bag…
Lots of humor/​fun/​country gifts, gifts for kids, cards, t-​shirts, dolls, necklaces etc, but at a much higher quality than your usual run-​of-​the-​mill gift shop. I found an adorable forest animal finger puppet set I previously purchased in Cali for a friend here at less than ¹⁄₃ the cost, hilarious but PG t-​shirts for some friends, and fun signs to hang on the door. Great stop if you’re looking for souvenirs.

Fun stuff. Friendly people. One of the better touristy stores I visited during my trip to Maine. Decent mix of real life stuff and tourist stuff.
An awesome line of cards, called That’s All. Sweet sale card bin for .95 and pens with a moose that slides back and forth in liquid for $ 2!

I like this store. It has all sorts of moose /​Maine /​outdoorsman items, including poo books, kids books, jams, hot sauces, clothes, t-​shirts, etc. Typical tourist shop plus a lot of nice extras.

Shopping in Maine = Kitschy Little Shops
As we were strolling down Main Street, we came upon this little shop and it’s just one of those stuff shops you can’t help but go look in
Selection:
I’ve got to be honest, it is a tourist shop. Lot’s of «Maine» and «Freeport» things written all over your standard items, but it’s also a shop that locals can enjoy. Once you shift past the typical souvenirs, you’ll find a lot of things of interest: like books and Table Topics, kitschy magnets and home décor.
There are lots of quirky knick-​knacks: books, guides and entertaining items; as well as a lot of simply cool things that you’ll almost really want. From jewelry for you mother to a wooden bear for that weird aunt, a neat little hand-​made toy for your nephew or a moose pillow for your grandmother, it’s all in here. Go, take a look around, it won’t break the bank, but it will make you glad Maine has a lower sales tax.
Venue:
I’m not going to lie, this sort of store feels out of place to me in Freeport, not because it’s not an outlet store (I remember Freeport back before it was outlet central) but because it feels like it belongs in Montana more than Maine. Turns out, there’s a reason for that. The Mangy Moose is actually a small collection of chain stores that are based out Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Culture shock solved.
Out-​of-​state feel aside, Mangy Moose draws the eye for exactly that reason. It’s big, it’s log-​cabin like and completely different from the other stores that surround it. If you’re looking for something of the beaten path, or a more original birthday gift or souvenir, stop by, you’ll be able to find something.

This is sort of an anomaly for Freeport (which is one big outdoor outlet mall). It’s what’s best described as an «oddity store». Think old time general store without the food. There are the usual assortment of tourist knick-​knacks with «Maine» plastered all over them, but it also has a lot of games, handmade things (usually made in Maine), wooden kids’ toys (very hard to find), as well as sculptured animals and stonecraft. Oh and jewelry too. There is probably something for everyone in this store from toddlers to teenage girls to old geezers to soccer moms to macho men. This place has it all. And the prices weren’t that bad for a tourist trap, but not they’re not great for an outlet store. (I picked up a card trivia game for $ 10 which is the retail price I’ve seen elsewhere.) It’s unique shop that’s worth a stop in Freeport’s vanilla outlet store shopping.

I bought those socks that are all squished into a solid and you have to soak them in warm water to unravel them. They had moose on them. Good souvenir.
