7. Skordo
Whether you’re looking to use it yourself or give it as a gift to your favorite home cook, the kitchen goods from this family-owned, Maine-based company are unusually delicious and useful. Spices are the focal point, and they’re inspired by far-flung destinations but made in nearby Brunswick. But the growing cookbook selection is commendable, too; it spotlights Maine authors and ingredients. And then there’s the nifty hodgepodge of kitchen wares—handmade ceramic oyster platters from local artisans, sleekly designed pepper mills, and spoon rests made of black marble and acacia wood.

12. Blanche + Mimi
Your kitchen may never be the same after visiting this veritable trove of cooking and home accessories. Mismatched, vintage flatware, glasses, and plates provide the makings of a whimsical dining table, and equally charming block-printed pillowcases, handmade quilts, gauzy blankets, and hand-turned wooden candlesticks are the kind of gifts you wind up keeping for yourself. The baby clothing section is equally irresistible, filled with muslin sunhats, organic sleeping sacs covered in sailboats, and woolen mobiles of hovering storks.

20. Onggi
Fermentation is the name of the entire game at this quirky and Onggi (pronounced “Ong-gee”), named after the Korean vessels in which fermentations like soy sauce, kimchi, and rice wine are made. Owned by a young trio of self-titled “fermentation nerds,” the friendly shop peddles an array of fantastic—and mostly small-batch—products: the likes of Taiwanese soy pastes; preserved Moroccan Meyer lemon paste; ponzu sauces with yuzu; and mushroom ale vinegars.
