Shop Small, Shop Maine

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hope you had a fantastic day celebrating and giving thanks with your friends and family! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday- and it officially kicks off the winter Holiday Season.

Instead of setting the alarm and heading out for Black Friday, think about shopping small this season with these awesome deals and with so many other talented artists in Maine and entrepeneurs in your area! By shopping small you are directly supporting hard working people, their families, and your local economy.

I am in awe of how many truly talented artists/shops and amazing products we have in this great state of Maine. Jewelry, accesosires, bags, baby items, skin care, home goods, and SO much more.

Thanks for this great list, Rebecca! And for the coupon codes as well! Any suggestions for a christmas gift for a 2 year old boy (toy or play item) that is made locally?

Hi Lila!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You probably have so much already - gifts for #2 are def. harder :-) Bella Luna Toys of Rockland has some locally made items... you probably already have play kitchens, kids table, and an easel but all would be on my list.. my boys LOVE transportation related items.. i.e. trucks, trains, planes.. and figurines ... Would def. recommend a train table and trains, provides so much independent play for my guys... if you don't buy Maine made, look at one of the local toy stores- Island Treasure has a location in Bath... Also check out Elves & Angels- maine made and really awesome wood play..everything from barnyards and animals to train tables etc.... Also, hitting up a local bookstore, and getting a fun chair to read in.. my boys also love their sleeping bags.. Gina of follow me designs does cute little sleeping bags... Also love the idea of a toddlesmock and arts supplies from ecokids- love their play dough and finger paints (and everything else they make) also made in maine! Ok, maybe this should be a post in itself :-) Hope this helps!
