Unique Christmas Gifts: Lobster Buoy Birdhouses From Wallingford Farm in Kennebunk, Maine

Looking for the perfect Maine-made Christmas gift?

Let me point you toward one of the cutest, most charming finds of the season: the handcrafted lobster buoy birdhouses at Wallingford Farm in Kennebunk. They’re the kind of gift that makes people smile the moment they open it, and they look absolutely magical hanging in a snowy Maine backyard.

These adorable birdhouses are made by the Googan Family in the small farming town of Dayton, Maine. It’s a true family craft: Dana does the woodworking, Karen brings the color and detail with her hand-painting, and together they create something both beautiful and uniquely Maine. People who own them rave that they’re “sturdy, colorful, and well made.” Many even mention that the bright colors attract more birds, making them a delightful little burst of life right outside your window.

Wallingford Farm carries several styles, including lobster buoy designs, sweet acorn shapes, and even lighthouse birdhouses, each one brimming with coastal charm. And if for some reason you don’t spot the perfect birdhouse, the farm is filled with other Maine-made treasures: gorgeous wreaths, holiday ornaments, handmade soaps, and stocking stuffers that make gift-giving feel effortless.

If you want a present that’s heartfelt, local, and full of Maine spirit, these lobster buoy birdhouses check every box. They’re thoughtful, practical, cheerful, and truly the perfect Maine-made gift for the Christmas season.
