New England gift basket ideas?

I'm putting together a gift basket for my dad and stepmom for Christmas since I have no idea what else to get them and they're planning a trip up here sometime next year. I was thinking of getting a couple of books about the area but I don't know what else to include. What kind of New England-ey type things do you all recommend?

Re: New England gift basket ideas?

  • Cape Cod potato chips and/or New England Coffee Traders coffee mmm. I saw a book once on "Yankeeisms" all about the colloquial speech of us Yanks up here. I don't remember the name of it though. Maybe a map of the areas they're looking to check out, reccommendations on where to stay or what to see. You can get a map of the Freedom trail for example.

     Sounds like a fun gift!

  • Good idea Lvn! I can't believe I didn't think of the chips, and I drink New England Coffee everyday, duh.. Big Smile
  • NE sports team apparel (hats, shirts, etc)? Tea (boston tea party)? Baked beans candy? Salt water taffy? Do you have nieces/ nephews- Boston based books like Make Way for Ducklings? Anything Salem Witch or Pilgrims related...

  • Maple syrup, Cabot cheddar, maybe a New Englad themed cookbook.

    Very cute gift idea!

    exactly what I was going to say!

    Maybe some of those cute lobster or moose shaped lollipops they have in touristy areas? Or maple sugar candy? Since it's for Christmas, a Currier & Ives type of print?

  • What a great idea!  Maybe you could add in a Yankee Candle?
  • something with cranberry

  • Great ideas, thanks girls!
  • Oh this is such a good idea! I would suggest some Boston Baked Beans, the candy not actual beans, salt water taffy. And I love the idea of some cookbooks. Borders Book Store has a great selection of books about New England.
