Spotted: one under $50 gift perfect for the guy in your life (if you, too, are subjected to endless hours of baseball on the T.V. come spring.) Victoria of sfgirlbybay (and the Keep Calm and Carry On print) found this fantastic new online shop called the Daytrip Society. And besides the treasure trove of unique gifts, I love that a group of native Mainers are behind this boutique (my husband grew up in Maine, we were married in Maine, and I should pretty much wear a button on my jacket professing my love of the state.) So back to the Lemon Ball: this vintage style hand-stitched baseball is based on the balls used back in the early 19th century. What a cool baseball for a game of catch — and the leather will only get softer with use. Maybe it will inspire Dan to get outside and play baseball rather than watch his beloved Red Sox play from our recliner. We'll see.
p.s. Check out the Daytrip Society's blog, too.
