About ArtSea Gifts

ArtSea Gifts is a celebration of American artistry, coastal inspiration, and the places that make our memories meaningful.
Affiliated with the Christmas Vacation Shop of Bar Harbor, ArtSea Gifts was created to expand our long-standing commitment to handcrafted, Made in America ornaments and gifts—bringing together talented artists who draw inspiration from national parks, coastal communities, and iconic destinations shaped by the sea.
From the rocky shores of Maine to the sun-washed coasts of Florida, our collections reflect the natural beauty, history, and spirit of the places people love to visit, explore, and remember.
Rooted in Artistry & Place
Every ArtSea Gifts design begins with a story—of a shoreline, a trail, a harbor, or a cherished destination. We work closely with American artists and makers who transform local resources, traditional techniques, and contemporary design into meaningful keepsakes.
Our ornaments and gifts are handcrafted using materials such as wood, glass, ceramic, and mixed media, thoughtfully sourced and skillfully made to reflect both place and purpose. Each piece is designed to feel authentic, timeless, and personal.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
