The New England landscape has lots to offer when it comes to outdoor activities like camping, and we like to take advantage of that. When we head out into the wilderness, we don't pack a lot. Our motto is take what you need and leave the rest.

P.F. Candle Co. was one of Boston General Store's first makers to promote when the website first launched in 2013. Today, we still carry their line of impressive, hand-crafted soy wax candles and reed diffusers because they're one of our best sellers. 

In this blog, we remind readers of the honest brand that is P.F. Candle Co., and introduce their newest venture: incense sticks.

There comes a moment when keeping good news to yourself is impossible. And because we're ready to burst at the seams, literally and figuratively, we'll cut to the chase. Boston General Store is growing.

Organizing and hosting a Thanksgiving dinner takes a lot of planning and preparation. If not done carefully, this elaborate event can end up being exhaustive and disastrous. 

In this blog, I recount some of my favorite holiday memories and give you the best advice on how to successfully, and effectively, host a Thanksgiving dinner. Plus, I'm passing on some of my family's recipes that you can prepare the night before.

 

Don't plan out a Thanksgiving dinner menu that you know is too complicated and doesn't lend itself well to effective kitchen practices. Choose recipes that can be made ahead of time and that don't have hard-to-find ingredients. 

In this blog, we give the readers a handful of helpful and delicious family recipes for Thanksgiving side dishes, accompaniments, and desserts that are easy to make.
