Boats, Ships & Lighthouses
Some people hear the word "weekend" and immediately smell sunscreen and salt air. Limoges boat, ship and lighthouse boxes are the gift for sailors, boaters, cruise fans and anyone with a lake house or a beach cottage. They make a terrific bon voyage present, a retirement gift for the captain-in-waiting or a souvenir from a favorite coastal town. Each one is hand-painted in France, hinged and arrives gift-boxed. No seasickness pills required.
The harbor is busy. Sailboats come large and small, one with brass sails, a stand and an anchor. Paddle-wheel riverboats, including a Mississippi riverboat, chug along beside a speedboat and a cruise ship waving bon voyage. History buffs will find the Titanic floating, in a round box and sinking. Lighthouses stand tall from Maine to Cape Hatteras to Hilton Head, some with boats bobbing nearby and one perched on the rocks. A Nantucket-style basket and a rabbit rowing his own little boat round out the fleet.
Nautical collectors often add a lighthouse from every coast they visit, building a shoreline across the mantel. Line sailboats along a windowsill so they catch the light, or set a lighthouse beside a jar of sea glass. A cruise ship is a fun way to announce a family trip, and a sailboat is a perfect thank-you for a weekend on the water. Give the Titanic to the history lover who knows every detail of that night. Fair winds and following seas to the lucky recipient.
