Along with the season comes the onset of cold, grey days and longer nights. So, we did some retail therapy and shopped for Maine-made items intended to lift your spirits and fend off the doldrums. Oh, they’d make great gifts, too.

These items were independently found and selected for feature by METLN Content Studio staff.
