Possible gift options for meeting attendees gathering throughout Massachusetts range from edible treats and standby souvenirs such as mugs and T-shirts, to beach chairs and something called a Weepul.
In Cambridge, planners are encouraged to check out gift possibilities at WardMaps, a gift shop located in Porter Square that sells antique maps of Boston, Cambridge and beyond. The WardMaps store also features customizable gifts such as handbags, coasters, mugs and greeting cards.
If the budget allows, planners with groups on Cape Cod should check out Cape Cod Beach Chairs, which come in a few varieties including the Nauset Recliner with Footrest, Surfside Recliner and Monomoy Sling.
Greater Boston CVB representatives recommend favorite area edibles, including Cape Cod Potato Chips, cookies from Dancing Deer Baking and candy from Phillips Chocolates, Boston’s oldest chocolatier.
Another idea is a lobster Weepul, which is a funny little stuffed animal with a pompom body and jiggly eyes that’ll make any attendee smile.
Gifts from the Berkshires are decidedly delicious, with options such as maple syrup from Ioka Valley Farm in Hancock and coffee beans from Barrington Coffee Roasting Company in Lee.
