School is around the corner, the breezes have gone from warm to crisp, and the rains slip down from the mountains more frequently. It's almost time to head home, back to real life. But you want something to take with you, a little momento of the sun and sea and lobsters and lighthouses. But how many postcards, cartoony mugs and made-in-China trinkets do you need? Let's face it, you want something unique and uniquely Maine. Head on over to Maine Gathering in the gorgeous harbor town of Camden! Maine Gathering is what it sounds like: a place where Maine artists come together to share their work with locals and visitors alike. In this small, unassuming shop, you can find pottery, jewelry, float rope mats and baskets (all recycled!), birch bark momentos, sea glass bits and bobs, and a plethora of all things lobster! Almost everything is hand made by a Maine local, and it shows: Every detail represents something that makes this state a rare gem on the East Coast. And owners Howard and Margaret Gallagher make sure that every visitor feels welcomed into this Maine artistic haven. From the in-depth knowledge of everyone who works there to Howard's jovial nature to the sheer selection of amazing gifts, Maine Gathering is THE place to go to find something to help you remember your Maine vacation for years to come!

They not only have an amazing candy selection but they also have homemade chocolates and fudge. And I was actually going back today to get more of this one particular kind of fudge that I haven't had anywhere else. It's a white and it's like a nougat fudge. And it is amazing! It's marshmallowy but still dense like fudge. It's amazing! Everything at this store is amazing! The prices are very very good for what you get! I was amazed that the ridiculous volume of candy that I bought with my 5-year-old son and my wife this past Saturday only came to like $21 and change. So if you're in the area, I live in Augusta and am willing to drive up here I would give them a shot.

Located off the…read morebeaten path, Bixby isn't a place you're going to stumble upon, but when you do you'll love it. The entry is located toward the back of a large brick building. You may think you're going too far, but keep going. There is a sign above the doorway and a sandwich board to help get you there. As you get near the place the smell of chocolate fills the air. Once inside the door it's like you're surrounded by a big chocolate hug. Inside the door there are a number of shelves on your right with pre-packaged Bixby products, ready for purchase. Chocolates and bonbons and toffees of various flavors and varieties, as well as peanut brittles in a surprising number of flavors. Further into the establishment you're presented with displays of various items for sale. It's not just a retail store, but it's also the Bixby Chocolate factory, where their confectionary delights come to life. The day of our visit there was no activity other than retails sales. After a couple samples I came home with a large bag of chili beer peanut brittle. I know it sounds complicated, but it is AWESOME. The staff at Bixby knows their product. Got a question? Any staff member can assist with any of your questions. Need to purchase something and have it shipped? No problem at all! They ship anywhere! Bixby is a destination, to be sure, but it's well worth the effort to find it.

The light and airy shop showcases the variety of their products, particularly their signature bonbons and Needhams (potato chocolates!). The chocolate is very high quality with a lot of flavor choices. Make sure to try some local flavor profiles like blueberry and maple. They also have ice cream in the shop! We'd just eaten so we had to miss that, but stocked up on chocolates, including a bag of Needhams, Allagash beer brittle, a dark chocolate sea salt bar, and four bon bons. Bixby does a beautiful job crafting the chocolates. The bonbons were truly pieces of art, and the chocolate bar had such a lovely and intricate sea life pattern on it that I almost didn't want to eat them. Our one wish was that they had more samples available, particularly for the unfamiliar flavors like the beer brittle and the Needhams, so folks know what they're getting before investing in a large bag of something. The factory and shop is right on Crockett Point in Rockland Harbor and is a gorgeous way to spend some time in Maine.
