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.

I learned about the golden rule from two extraordinary entrepreneurs - my parents. They never used the words social responsibility or philanthropy nor did we have any money.  But every day they made the world a better place through positive and generous interactions with other people and the planet.  And every day I also took for granted that the somewhat smushed peanut butter and jelly sandwich, apple and homemade cookie in my lunch bag was a symbol of my Mom’s great big heart. They didn’t make a big deal about it, it was just normal for them to try to make something right, stretch out a hand or invent something which ought to be.  Among the things they managed to create was a whole industry for recycling post-consumer bottles and cans on an industrial basis.
