Daytrip Society

Love this cutie gift shop! You could get a gift for anyone here. There’s gift items, gift wrapping, home goods, accessories, bath items, stationary, jewelry, backpacks, and more. I spent a while in there because there was so much to look at. I ended up getting a bandana for my friend and a card for my mom. I hope to go back again soon!

THE cutest little gift shop you'll ever see. Unique things to Maine, but also trendy decor, clothes, and gifts. I got some cool crafts and some gold-plated shell earrings I'm obsessed with. Also, the socks I bought from here get complimented ALL the time. The shop attendant was SO patient with all of my questions and the time I took to make 3 laps around the store so I didn't miss anything. I highly recommend!

such a cute spot! Loved all the amazing goods. Great for gifts, and gift ideas!!! Their website is great too, and they even have gift guides. The staff were also very helpful, and the setting is like a shop in a storybook. The last slide is some items they had in October 2021

Okay store with a few Maine sweatshirts and souvenirs. Some jewelry and gifts as well.

This store is my absolute favorite for gifts. The displays are spot-on, and there always seems to be something for even the most challenging people to find gifts for. After each holiday, I am most frequently asked about the gifts from this shop because they are so unique and well-curated. The staff is also very helpful and sweet. Thank you DTS for making my holiday (and birthday!) shopping a breeze. P.S. Their kids store down the block deserves a separate review, but I'll just say here that it is the cutest and worth the trip!

Large selection of high-quality items for kids and adults!

Such a cute store with unique finds!

Love this store and so much to look at. Love all the stickers! So many mushroom and outdoorsy things. Great for gifts!

I love the amazing selection here they have so much jewelry, and really overall just a great store! This is the first place I think of when going to buy gifts! The employees are always so friendly! I highly recommend!

Such a fun selection of gifts and trinkets. I always plan a stop here when I'm in KPT.

I absolutely LOVE Daytrip society! Every summer we visit Kennebunkport and Daytrip is by far our favorite place to shop! We never fail to find something there for everyone. The employees always greet me with a smile and a kind hello. You can really tell how much work goes making into the store as good as it is, I can't wait to visit again next summer!

Fabulous customer service, fabulous selections, fabulous Covid safety precautions in place. Top notch!

I visited this store so many times during my recent trip to Kennebunkport that the sales lady started to recognize it. This place is absolutely adorable! The name is great too. The little shop is filled with fun stuff... everything from greeting cards, to camping and travel accessories, to little doodads, and green products. The staff is friendly and helpful. They even let you browse for as long as you want without being pushy or annoying. Whats more, whenever your buy items from their Daytrip Society line, they make a donation to the local conservation trust. This is the perfect place to find a unique gift for a friend or (more importantly) a fun, functional item for yourself. I bought a silly but useful piggy flashlight that doesn't need any batteries! You pump the lever for a few seconds and the thing runs for over 10 minutes. I also got a cute Daytrip Society tote bag and some cute re-usable Baggu shopping bags.

I can't say enough great things about the customer service! I had been in this store during a trip in June - went back and forth about a Sea Bag and left without it. I made a last minute decision to purchase but wasn't able to pay online as I wanted to use a gift card to pay for a portion. My mom, who was still in KBP offered to go to the store and ask if I could purchase over the phone using the gift card/credit card combination. Thanks to the awesome staff, I was able to pay right over the phone and my mom brought the bag home to me! They were so accommodating! A few weeks later, I noticed some discoloration on the white portion of the bag. I emailed asking if there was any way I could exchange the bag as it was less than 30 days since the purchase. In less than 12 hours I got a response from Kate along with a shipping label to return the bag for a replacement, no questions asked. I had the bag 3 days later and it was perfect. I'm so happy to have this bag! The whole team were a pleasure to work with - and I wanted everything in the store (as always)! I will absolutely continue to be a repeat customer!

Walking into Daytrip Society was like seeing my entire internet bookmarks list in real life. No longer did I need to ogle these lovely items through their websites because a visit to Daytrip Society allowed me to actually touch and hold these items I've coveted for so long! Orla Kiely, Falcon Enamelware, Herschel Supply Co., Seawicks Candles, Maptotes, Cavallini Press, Fishs Eddy and so many more brands. If you love well designed items and the normal lobster claw salt and pepper shakers aren't your style for souvenirs, be sure to stop into Daytrip Society.

The customer service at Daytrip Society is OUTSTANDING! I sent message to the store via Facebook to inquire about the Sea Bags totes that were in stock before I made the half hour drive to the store. Lucy responded very quickly with detailed descriptions of the totes that fit my inquiry... she even sent photos! I was so grateful for the help before I drove there to be disappointed. I drove to the store and purchased one of the bags that she sent photos of & was amazed by how many other totes were in stock! Unfortunately, the bag I purchased wasn't exactly what I thought I needed. I emailed Daytrip ASAP to inquire about the return policy & if I could ship the return since I live a distance from the store. They responded quickly & gave me multiple options for returning my bag! I also inquired about another tote in that email & they gave prices, shipping costs & sent a photo! I could not be more satisfied with the service from Daytrip Society. They have WONDERFUL, quality products (many made in Maine) and are willing to bend over backwards to make customers happy! THANK YOU, DAYTRIP! I will definitely be back & recommend this store to anyone that is looking for a unique shopping experience while in Maine!

My favorite shop in all of Kennebunkport, or Maine, or all of New England. Cool, vintage, and fun gear and gadgets for the travel and outdoor-enthusiast. I check out their online store every few months to check out what they have.

If I had to name ONE store that sums up my fun and eclectic taste, DAYTRIP SOCIETY is the only store that comes to mind. I can't drive into Kennebunkport without stopping into this little shop. I love how they have classic movies setup with sections of their merchandise almost like it was themed. They have great greeting cards as well. To sum it up the best way is, they had odd and end things. Plush, toys, journals, puzzles, purses, camping items, you name it. I fully plan on visiting their website now that I'm back home. www.daytripsociety.com

Unique merchandise and sleek style. Liked everything I saw. Perfect spot to pick up an artsy item for yourself. Wish this store was in DC. The 2nd store geared towards kids is awesome. Indie rock children's coloring book. Enough said.

Hands down one of my favorite shops In KPT. Quality and unique items. Stylish and not touristy. They have carefully curated vendors that represent a terrific coastal vibe, including, erin flett, one of my favorite designers from Portland Maine. Daytrip gets it. And visit their kids' store around the corner

Very unique items - fun store! Amazing customer service - thank you Kate. Rarely do I find people who go above and beyond - she did!!' Great place to shop!

This is the only store worth entering in the tourist-trappy town. The inventory immediately feels coherent and well - edited for anthropologie ypes who are not against showering. The aesthetic is very nostalgic for bygone decades (lomo cams, lemon-peel baseballs), which isn't my thing because those bygone decades tend to also be extremely racist.. but for the people who like that stuff, this place is quite satisfactory. I would love to see more authentic looking things, though. There are so many amazing origami kits from Korea and Japan. Why bother with this overpriced 5-minute origami?

i love this place. All of their products are made from eco-friendly materials, and while they are a little pricey, it's nice to know what you're spending your money on. If you take a little time, you can definitely find some small treasures admit the higher priced items, and for those sail bags, I'll be back, once I save up some money.

Modern souvenir shop with gifts that you would not be ashamed to give your friends. I loved the updated Maine t-shirts and magnets that were not at all tacky. Lots of cute wallets and purses decorated with whales, lobsters, and Kennebunkport-y things. They also have another store around the corner that focuses on children. Also very cute! Love, love, love.

Certainly the most interesting (to my tastes) shop in Kennebunkport. Lots of random high-end designy goods that anyone with any taste in home and personal decor would love. I spotted some great bill holders from Jack Spade that were a little pricey at $120, but luckily for me I found them on Amazon for half that price. Really unique finds for anyone with a modern aesthetic.

This is such a hip store in a pretty touristy area. You can find some great items for gifts (or for yourself if you're like me). Great variety, and not like any of the gaudy gift shops around Kennebunkport. Their cards are unique and definitely worth checking out.

This is a really fun store with, however everything is so ridiculously expensive. Years ago the shop had items that were affordable (I used to buy my wallets and purses/bags here). In recent years they've raised prices to where the average year-round Mainer can only look and not purchase.

This is a great store. Just enough variety without being overwhelming. Laid out really well. Totally up my alley. I've been looking for this handbag - or one like it - for so long that i had forgotten that i'd been trying to find it. i jumped with glee when i saw the price tag. The young lady working the till that day had a fantastic nautical whale tatoo on her shoulder. Great name, great goods, great logo. I wasn't able to check into the store on yelp, though. it read that i was too far away. i wonder if i can upload a pic of my fantastic bag? guess not, you'll have to stop in for yourself to see their great wares.

This store is full of interesting, cute stuff. I bought a (ok, another) small Sea Bag and was tempted by the Orla Kiely wallets. Spend a few minutes browsing around this store, there's neat stuff everywhere you look. Before you buy that lobster magnet or t-shirt, stop by here to see if you can pick up a fun, cool memento that you'll actually use.

My greatest regret is that I did not have enough money to purchase everything in this store! My girlfriend and I were in Maine for a fall getaway weekend and stopped into the Daytrip Society with little idea about the store and its contents. What we found inside was incredible, and I literally had to pry my girlfriend out for my wallet's sake. The tiny but tidy shop was brimming with beautiful, clever, and stylish items ranging from notecards to map books, from tote bags to kid's games, and every nautical-themed houseware item one could dream up. We settled on buying a reasonably-priced moose ornament handcrafted from pinecones and twigs, and certainly plan on making this a stop on future trips to Kennebunkport!

Awesome store curated by color which delights the senses. Wander from section to section surveying the unique and adorable items. Picked up some great items, a lobster rope floor mat, pins and books.. Worth a pop in!

I was amazed to find this store sitting among the repetitive crap that seemed to make up Kennebunkport's downtown area. I wanted to get everything, but I just got a Bungelow 360 purse. Thankfully, they have a website, so I'm sure I'll be shopping with them virtually in the future.

What an adorable store! Great combination of gifts, accessories and lovely stationary that's so cute I wanted to weep. Another fun stop!

This is such a cool store. I love all of the purses but of course I have expensive taste and my favorite bag just happened to be $575.....ugh. This is a great place to get a random gift for a friend or something maine/lobster-centric without it being super lame and touristy. Prices are up there but....look at where you are....

This place is fantastic. They have the coolest stuff. It can be a little pricey, but if you just want to get a few awesome things, this is the place to go. They have bags, sunglasses, house decorations and just anything else you can imagine. If you're going to Kennebunkport, you have to go here. The staff is also really sweet and helpful!

The daytrip society is a must see in kennebunkport. They have unique items, and beautiful handmade jewelry. Been going here for years!

Super cool store. Something I'd imagine seeing in Brooklyn. They carry really cool, well made design-centric apparel and many other interesting products.

I want to buy everything in this store, no really. They have great bags for travelers or just moms with a lot of kids, sunglasses, cool Maine souvenirs (not cheesy!), stuff for picnics, day trips...one of kind stuff, difficult to find elsewhere. They have a shop right around the corner that is all kids stuff.

This is such an awesome gift store. They've got a great selection of stuff that you never knew you needed. On a recent trip I purchased an awesome hat and a few gifts. There's a lot to look at and they carry a lot of unique brands that you won't find at the other stores in town. I love Kennebunkport but the shopping leaves a lot to be desired. There are endless trinket stores, t-shirt shops, and coastal-type artsy stores which do not appeal to me. This store gets me. It has a real cool vibe and it's definitely a place that shouldn't be missed!

One of my favorite stores ever. Has things from my childhood that I forgot about. I was born in the 80's. only downfall of this store is the prices. Some things are pretty steep. But the novelties are too cute to resist!!

Super cute store with a great selection. I always get way too many fun things and gifts. :) I love their selection of Seabags and Orla Kiely. This trip I've managed to pick up 2 totes, 3 wristlets, 1 sunglasses, and 2 candles. I only wish they carried more stylish women's tees.

Cutest shop in town. Funny that everybody said they wish they could buy everything in the store because it's true. Gawd. Don't let my cc bill arrive.

I bought 6 solar Japanese lanterns (at 30 bucks apiece) in this store to bring home with me, after my summer in Maine. I have bought them before in this store, and also lots of other merchandise, because I thought it was a very cool store. Unfortunately I discarded the boxes so I could pack the lanterns in my suitcase. Just before leaving Maine, on a whim, I decided to make sure they work, since we live outside of the country. One of them did not work. I went all the way back to Kennebunkport to exchange it, on my last day of vacation, only to learn that the store does not exchange merchandise after 10 days, EVEN WHEN THE MERCHANDISE IS DEFECTIVE. The person behind the counter was not apologetic and did not even look at the (completely new and unused) lantern. I got the sense that he didn't believe me. I will never go back there. I was completely disgusted at the lack of customer service and the lack of integrity.
