This Christmas in particular, the focus will be all about good times and thoughtful gift-giving and if someone you love happens to love Maine lobster, here’s how to “shell-abrate” them with the best lobster gifts around.
Here’s a list of reputable and trusted suppliers of Maine’s most famous crustacean. These companies ship live lobsters as well as products (such as tails and cooked meat) directly from the wharf right to your front door. Get started now thinking about a Maine-inspired Christmas dinner with our recipe blogs and you’ll get your lobster within days.
Maine Lobster Festival Swag
If your loved one is planning on coming August 4-8, 2021 to Rockland, Maine for the Maine Lobster Festival, surprise him or her with an official MLF t-shirt, sweatshirt, ballcap, “Dad” hat, bucket hat, tie-die, or sweatpants. You can also get iconic posters, mugs, and other accessories. And since the Festival couldn’t take place in 2020, your purchase will go extra far, helping MLF give back to local communities through donations, community enhancement and scholarships.
If you read our latest blog on how best to cook lobster, steamed or boiled, this nifty gadget will be the ultimate kitchen accessory. It’s a 60-quart Chard no-rust aluminum stockpot with strainer (so you can both steam and boil). One nice feature: a vented, recessed cover that releases steam and keeps foods warm until serving time. This indoor or outdoor cook pot can hold enough lobsters for a lobster bake or a big crowd.

Giddyup!!!”
