Boston Gift Basket

[blueclaws1443.livejournal.com]

So I'd like to send a gift basket to a professional colleague of mine as a thank you for a favor. No, not that kind of favor. 

I just moved to the area and I'd like to send the New Jersey colleague a basket with a Boston style to it. Anyone have any good suggestions? 

Thanks!

I've been given a boston gift basket from myfavoritecity.com

googling 'boston gift baskets' will also bring up some local options, if you'd rather keep your money in the local economy.

I'd recommend Pemberton Farms or Cardullo's if you're looking for a gourmet food type basket->

If you're interested in sending delicious handmade candy, Harbor Sweets in Salem is excellent->

go to Rodney's on Mass Ave. in Central Square. They have a pile of nice, interesting books about the area from small publishers, and a pile of greeting cards with photos taken by local photographers of area landmarks, but feeling much less 'gimmicky'.

Also (Pandemonium Books plug) we currently have several 'local' t-shirts that you also might enjoy giving, if you're looking for something less corporate, more quirky. We're right around the corner from Rodney's.

"MyCity" gifts may be corporate, but they have Dancing Deer cookies... *drool* OP: If you do create your own gift basket, you MUST include these!

Yay Dancing Deer!

If you're not looking for such a big variety of stuff, you could go directly to www.DancingDeer.com, where they have their own gift packages available.
