To open up the world of the New England region, the northeastern state of Massachusetts offers an assortment of rural, urban, and suburban sights, including the well-known location of Boston, which serves as the capital of the state. Most of Massachusetts' population is situated within the metropolitan area of the city, which elevates the region as the most populous of the six New England states in the United States.
Massachusetts offers a wealth of brainstorming opportunities for gift basket designers, whether the deep history of the Pilgrims and Puritans from England or the interesting cities of Salem and Plymouth give way to creative presentations. The fact that the state also earned the title of "Cradle of Liberty" may also get clever ideas flowing.
To tap into the gift basket theme that explores the economical characteristics of Massachusetts, you should note that the agricultural aspects of the past took a backseat to the rise in manufacturing. Since the river provided straightforward access to other states, the transport of furniture, shoes, and clothing was easily allowed. Eventually, technology would come to dominate the economy of the state, which relied on the prestigious graduates who completed their studies from the well-respected colleges and universities of Massachusetts. A few local color schemes to adhere to when decorating baskets include scarlet and white (Boston University); crimson red (Harvard University) as well as brown and blue (Tufts University).
Politics have always played an important role throughout Massachusetts, as it held strong to its position as one of the most influential states in America. The state hosted the first American Revolution battles in the towns of Lexington and Concord. During the 20th century, the Kennedy family solidified a stronghold on the political scene. Also, how can we forget the Boston Tea Party, which marked significant revolutionary changes? Gift baskets utilizing this key moment in time may include teacups and saucers, biscuits, shortbread, cookies, peppermint stir sticks, an assortment of black tea, and other tea-related accessories.
Sports and recreation throughout the state is also popular. In Springfield, the Basketball Hall of Fame can be found, while Holyoke is home to the Volleyball Hall of Fame. Golf championships and numerous NCAA teams make headlines on a national and international level. Also, the Boston Marathon is one of the most talked about events of its kind. A gift basket keepsake or warm gesture for the annual participant may include energy snacks, energy drinks, chewing gum, bottled water, stopwatch, heart rate monitor, wristbands, headbands, dried fruits and nuts.
To create a Discover Massachusetts gift basket, you may utilize some of the former and current natives and/or residents that the state has to offer. Some of the items to consider may include artist postcards depicting the works of Norman Rockwell or James Abbott McNeill Whistler; a bundle of films starring and written by Matt Damon (think Good Will Hunting and beyond); a collection of Friends DVD's to pay homage to actors, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry; a Little Women trinket and edible treats basket in honor of author, Louisa May Alcott; and the infinite possibilities of creating a colorful Dr. Seuss gift basket.

Lexington and Concord: The Beginning of the War of the American Revolution $17.73 "Tourtellot's book is the best account we have of the day of Lexington and Concord. The actions of each individual who played a conspicuous part in the day's work are minutely traced but Mr. Tourtellot never loses the main thread of his narrative and the wealth of detail he has included gives substance and color to an exciting story."- J. C. Miller, New York Herald Tribune Book Review "Tourtellot does not let his 19th of April float up in the spring air unconnected with a past or a future. He has built in very skillfully the story of the months before that day and then sends its echoes rolling on through time-and into distant states and nations....No other book generally available performs an even remotely comparable job....Makes full use of old material, adds a good deal that has come to light in the intervening years and, standing firmly on its own base, presents magnificently for the general reader and the specialist this immortal opening chapter of our beginnings as a nation."-Bruce Lancaster, The Saturday Review "The result of thoughtful examination of the evidence and clear writing."-Walter Muir Whitehill, New England Quarterly "An absorbing and vital history, containing much newly published information about a crucial week in the history of the United States. "-J.M. Goodsell, Christian Science Monitor |

The Battle of Lexington: A Sermon & Eyewitness Narrative $9.95 "Republication of Pastor Clarks narrative of the 75 . . . shot heard round the world and his oneyear anniversary sermon. Includes historical background on Jonas Clark, Paul Reveres Ride and three other commemorative poems, facsimile of the original 1776 Sermon booklet cover and extensive illustration. Introduction The Battle of Lexington Have you ever wondered who fired the shot heard round the world that fateful morning of April 19, 1775? Who were those brave men who stood against the besttrained army in the world? The following is Jonas Clarks Sermon on the oneyear anniversary and his eyewitness narrative of those events. None other but Jonas Clark could give such an accounting, for he was the pastor of those embattled farmers who stood their ground. Clark is herein giving an honest and accurate accounting of the Battle of Lexington. He is also giving testimony of the events of April 19 and answers the great question, Who fired the first shot? There was no betterprepared place to inaugurate the first battle of the War for Independence than the little village of Lexington. For pastor Clark discussed from the pulpit the great questions at issue and that powerful voice thundered forth the principles of personal, civil and religious liberty and the right of resistance, in tones as earnest and effective as it had the doctrines of salvation by the cross. (J. T. Headley, Heroes of Liberty Chaplains and Clergy of the American Revolution, 21.) It was to the congregation, educated by such a man, that Providence allowed to be entrusted the momentous events of April 19, events which were to decide the fate of a continentthat of civil liberty the world over. (Headley, 23) Today, the Battle of Lexington is little spoken of, for as a nation we have forgotten our history. We have neglected the heroes of our freedom and liberty. But there was a time when this day was remembered and odes were written to commemorate the occasion. Paul Reveres Ride and the Concord Hymn are two examples. (See Appendix, pages 7588.) Our history books no longer tell the true story of Lexington, so we must. America is perishing for the need of preachers who apply Gods holy Word to every area of life including personal, civil and religious liberty. The Church needs more pastors like Jonas Clark, a preacher who taught the great doctrines of salvation in Christ alone and the Biblical right to resistance, which gave his congregation courage to stand in the face of great odds. The Battle of Lexington should inspire every man, in all stations of life, to stand and make a difference. Rev. Christopher Hoops, Roseville, California" |
