In Portsmouth for an afternoon, I got a parking space near G. Willikers! Books & Toys. I decided to go in. The store had lots of games, puzzles, regular and creative toys, coloring books, and children's books as well as onesies for babies, footed pajamas for toddlers, and some costumes. In books, I liked the catchy title “Dragons Like Tacos 2 – The Sequel.” The illustration on the cover showed two dragons, with an arm hooked around the other’s, tossing down tacos. There were many more books for youngsters of all ages. I guessed that there were at least 250 books there. The store carried the Name Train Wooden Railway System which was letters on wheels to make a train. With the former activity area closed for so long, the owners are making plans for a pop-up specialty shop in that space in the back. The owners were very nice and also very helpful. I rate G. Willikers! Books & Toys at 5.0. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.

Love salt, so this was a must see for me. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a wonderful selection por flavored salts, plus gifts and salt related products. They also have a spa where one can schedule time (for a fee) to get a special "salt massage."
5. Bull Moose

Reviewed By Maurene_K - Dover, United States
In the Seacoast Region, Bull Moose is the largest and best place to shop for music new and used CDs, vinyl, DVDs, video and board games, jigsaw puzzles, and books for the whole family. Bull Moose is the place where local bands debut their new releases. One will also find unexpected items like socks and incense. One might even find the flashlight in the shape of a fish. On a dreary, cool day in Portsmouth, I kept indoors as much as possible and visited a number of shops. Bull Moose was my third stop. In the market to expand my music collection in the Jazz genre, I went to that section in the side room. A Pete Fountain CD caught my eye. I went through all nine Pete Fountain CD’s in his slot. I decided on “The Best of Pete Fountain” because it had over 20 songs on it. It was $6.97. I’ve also shopped the Salem, NH store and the Maine locations in South Portland, Scarborough, and Sanford. And, although I really like the staff at Sanford, I prefer the Portsmouth location for what the store has in stock. I rate Bull Moose at 5.0 and highly recommend a visit. To take in everything and go through the racks and bins, I suggest reserving one to two hours, depending on how serious a browser one is. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.

This shop is part of a small nationwide chain that features hand crafted items from around the world, and sales benefit these artisans. They carry jewelry, food items, linens, musical instruments, and many other beautiful things that make great gifts, or just to treat yourself to something special. My husband and I have visited this store on our annual trips to Portsmouth, and we always find a few things that we can't resist.
