Shop Local: Christmas Gifts from Maine

In this season of gift giving, why not give the gift of supporting a local business or artist? Here in Maine, we have a plethora of amazing business owned by real Mainers. Today I’m sharing some of my top gifts that are made right here in Maine.

Maine Bicentennial Sea Bag $200

This bag is sporting Maine’s original state flag in celebration of the anniversary of Maine’s independence. Made from recycled sails, this gift is not only beautiful, it’s sustainable, too!

Alaina Marie Conley Crossbody Bag $130

Is this bag not absolutely stunning? Made from marine grade materials and inspired by lobsterman’s bait bags, this crossbody can take you from the grocery story to a night out in the Old Port. This is one I’m eyeing for myself for sure!

Seawicks Candle Company Love the Sea Candle $24

Did you know that smell is the sense with the strongest ties to our memories? Give the gift of Maine made memories with this Seawick Candle!

Little Lavender Lobster Camden Button Pearls $65

These dainty little gems are elegant and timeless. Inspired by the picturesque town of Camden, these earrings are perfect for the lobster roll-eating, boat shoe wearing, Maine-loving girl in your life.

Hardshore Distillery Original Gin $32

Maine’s biggest export might be seafood but the sale of Maine made craft beer, wine, and liquor is on the rise. In fact, the growing craft brewery and distilling scene has made Portland a must visit destination for people from all over the world! Check out of my new favorites, Hardshore Gin. And give the gift of a great cocktail.
