Growing up in Boston, it would be hard to avoid the Red Sox (if for some strange reason you wanted to).  Fenway Park, Kenmore Square, the Green Monster, the Citgo sign…they’re all city landmarks.  For Father’s Day, we found a way to celebrate baseball-loving Dads, summer and the Sox with our Limited Edition Fenway Park Gift Tower.  The tower includes a Fenway Park replica tin filled with yummy, vanilla shortbread cookies that are shaped like baseballs!  They’re not regulation size baseballs, but they are tasty (IR)regardless. 

Once we featured Fenway, we couldn’t help but feature Yankee Stadium for our New York, New Jersey and (select) Connecticut residents.  You will never find me rooting for the Bronx Bombers, but baseball season would definitely lose most of its excitement without those anticipated Sox/Yankees games.

And if you find yourself on neither side of the rivalry, but still love our national pastime, celebrate with the Baseball National Hall of Fame Gift Tower.  Each tower includes traditional, gourmet vanilla baseball cookies and chocolate chunk brownies – you really can’t miss with that combination.

Peanuts and Cracker Jacks are great, but why not do something different for Dad this baseball season?  Check out all three baseball gift towers on our website: http://www.dancingdeer.com/baseball-gifts.

At Dancing Deer, we love our holidays.  We get to bake decorative cookies for the season and we always make time for a celebration in the bakery with all the Deer.  St Patrick’s Day is next on the calendar – and you know what they say, “Everyone’s Irish on St Patrick’s Day!”  So, send some Lucky Clover Cookies to all of your IRISH friends and if you enjoy arts and crafts, click here to learn how to make an Origami 4-leaf clover (don’t worry, I tried it myself to rate the difficulty – I give it a rating of easy to medium difficulty level)

Next week, I will continue to watch the best athletes in the world compete in a variety of competitions.  As I watched each competition this past week, I marveled at how the new athletes continue to raise the bar and level of competition over previous world records and often, their own personal accomplishments.  I am amazed because daily, they achieve athletic feats that I could only dream of, but even the commentators – many of whom have medaled in that same sport – remark that the top competitors this Olympics are just in a different league.  Shaun White soared 25 feet in the air above the Snowboarder’s halfpipe (it looked more like 40 feet!)…Lindsey Vonn won gold in downhill skiing after bruising her shin weeks ago…figure skater Evan Lysacek’s free skate was considered by judges to be “technically perfect”...

Since all of us Deer are amazed by the Olympic athletes, we decided to celebrate Team USA Spirit with our Olympic giveaway.  Any Deer fan that orders over $34.95 will receive a FREE gift of PATRIOTIC STAR COOKIES ($33.90 value), which includes over two dozen star-shaped vanilla shortbread cookies in a wooden Shaker gift box. Shop now at http://www.dancingdeer.com and remember to use code “OLYMPICS” at checkout. 

OH and don’t forget to root for Team USA!!
