Independence Bouquet Gift Set (America 250)

Independence Bouquet Gift Set (America 250)

A limited-edition keepsake celebrating the 250th anniversary of American democracy. This set brings together my Independence Bouquet tea towel, a coordinating notepad, and a matching greeting card, all featuring my hand-illustrated bouquet of red garden spray roses, white cornflowers, blue privet berries, and allium blooms that burst like fireworks.

Only 28 of the original 40 boxes remain, each one wrapped in a decorative bellyband around a kraft gift box.

Instead of a fleeting trinket, this set offers useful, beautiful pieces made by small American businesses, a gift that will be used and enjoyed long after the celebrations end.

A lovely gift for:

• Relatives who live far away, so they feel included in the celebration

• Hosts of holiday gatherings and dinner parties

• Veterans, with gratitude for their service, especially around Veterans Day

• Gardeners who appreciate all things floral

• A favorite social studies or history teacher

The card is ready to give. Inside, it reads: “I am so grateful to celebrate our nation’s independent spirit and natural beauty with you!” It also shares the traditional meaning of each flower in the bouquet:

• Allium: prosperity

• Cornflower: hope and fidelity

• Garden spray rose: admiration

• Privet: protection

• Rabelais rose: respect

I can write your note for you. Type a personal message at checkout, and I’ll hand-write it into the card and ship the box directly to your recipient.

What’s inside:

• Independence Bouquet tea towel: soft, absorbent 100% cotton flour sack, woven in India and printed in California. It’s a 28" square with the design printed on both sides, so a spill is easily hidden with a turn.

• Matching greeting card: with printed message and flower meanings inside, plus envelope, tucked into the bellyband.
