Maine-Made Gifts: Meet the Makers Near Wolf Cove Inn

Looking for something a little more meaningful than a mass-produced souvenir? Maine-made gifts offer a real taste of the state’s creativity, culture, and charm — no keychains required.

You’ll find these one-of-a-kind treasures just a short drive from Wolf Cove Inn. Some are tucked inside tiny storefronts, others on quiet farms. All are made by people who love what they do, and it shows. These aren’t just things. Their stories you can take home. Hand-carved, hand-poured, homegrown, and heartfelt — each piece reflects the region’s slower pace and strong sense of pride. You’ll find something to smile about. Perhaps something unexpected that feels just right. Here’s where to find them.

Campfire Pottery: Handmade With Heart

Joe and Kristen aren’t just makers — they’re neighbors. Roughly 15 minutes away in Gray, where they run Campfire Pottery from their home while raising their 7-year-old. Somehow, between toddler naps and glaze firings, they create some of the most beautiful masterpieces.
Their work shows up everywhere at Wolf Cove Inn. Our salt and pepper shakers? The logo mugs in your room? All made by Campfire. We’ve even hosted two events with them right here at the inn. If you’re heading into Portland, stop by their storefront, Ember. It’s calm, curated, and full of pieces worth holding in your hands.

Sip a freshly brewed coffee, flip through a good book, or just unwind. On select evenings, the space comes alive with live music and storytelling sessions.

Bring an appetite. And maybe a tote bag.
