Ready for a break from Minnesota before the weather hits for another long winter? Head to Maine for sunny skies, clear coastal water and the freshest seafood you'll ever taste this side of nowhere.

On a recent trip to Stonington, Maine on Deer Isle, we found the ten best places to eat and shop. Number five is Island Approaches gift store.

It's just about the only place in town to buy really good, heavy, pre-shrunk cotton pull-overs, hoodies, and sweatshirts, inked with "Stonington" or "Deer Island" on the sleeve or chest. You can also pick up gifts for the kiddies including "lobster claw" pens, Maine-themed books, and any number of toys and games. A sure hit are the lobster-shaped gummy treats.

You will also find plenty of t-shirts, hats, even flip-flops at reasonable prices, and don't miss the bargain room in the back of the store. Finally, grab a Maine-inspired shot glass for your MonaVie acai juice in the morning. Click here for a Minnesota source. It's hands-down the best Superfruit blend available and just right for sipping on the deck at Boyce's Motel.
