Gift Giving Guy

Flag Day is Sunday, June 14, 2009. My favorite flag gift is the Elizabeth Ross Heritage Series Flag Set ($70). The 30-by-50-inch cotton flag comes antiqued — it’s tea-dyed a rustic brown color for an historic feel. The maker, Valley Forge Flags, sews together the 13 stripes and embroiders each of the 50 stars.

The flag set also features a mahogany-stained wooden pole with a pineapple finial and a brass mounting bracket. This decorative flag is not meant for year-round use. We proudly display our Elizabeth Ross flag during the summer months, especially on Memorial Day, Flag Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day and Patriot Day.
