It's larger than it looks and has some of the nicest souvenirs I saw walking the Main Street. Mugs, clothing, toys, magnets, lobster-themed items galore.

If you walk to the back there is a small porch with a view of the water.

The Smiling Cow was one such place, and like with everything she wrote, she was spot-on accurate with her assessments. I have two grandchildren, so all shopping is based on what to buy THEM. Not me or my husband, not my daughters or son-in-law, but my grandchildren. So, of course, I made my way to the stuffed animals and Christmas ornaments where I was able to find some things to buy. Very cute things. I wish my back didn't start aching, or I would've likely bought more things. I guess that's a good reason to return some day. One can hope.

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 have nut free selections, sugar free selection and FULL ON SUGAR AND NUTS selections :) The staff here is extremely friendly, and helpful especially when you can't decide.

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!
