37 Great, Affordable [Mostly] Maine Gifts Under $50 or: A Preview of the 4th Annual Picnic Holiday Sale

I got a lot of positive feedback on my Maine-Made Holiday Gift Guide, but a good number of folks expressed something to the tune of, “This is cool, but a lot of this stuff is pretty expensive, isn’t it?” My wife suggested I put together a “Great Maine Gifts Under $50 Guide” to complement it and accommodate folks who are, as we will be, operating on a limited budget and so I am doing just that.

Fortunately, my very favorite Portland event, Picnic Portland Holiday Sale, is happening this Sunday and so this list features a number of great gifts offered by vendors there. This list is not representative of all of their vendors (a list of which can be found here) but it does a pretty good swath.
