Coonskin Cap just like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone

Daniel Boone Coontail Cap

If you are of the Baby Boomer generation you will remember coonskin caps. All the boys wanted a coonskin cap just like Davy Crockett. This was made popular by the Disney TV show starring Buddy Ebson and Fess Parker who later went on to also play Daniel Boone.
My husband at the age of 9 went up on stage at Egelston Square Theater in Boston and sang the Davy Crockett song ("Born on a mountain top in Tennessee...") and was thrilled to win a coonskin cap.
This is a great gift for a little boy's Easter basket!

Peeps T-Shirt for Easter

Hanging With My Peeps by WesternBassPro
Make custom t-shirts at zazzle.com

I like Peeps. I don't like to eat them, I just think they are amusing. That's why I like this bunny Peeps t-shirt, "Hanging With my Peeps." If you are making an Easter basket for someone it would be fun to include a Peeps shirt. Peeps are not just marshmallow candy, they are a part of the American popular culture! If you do an internet search you can find Peeps lounging on the beach, Peeps featured in dioramas, and Peeps being subjected to "Peep research." You can find Barack Obama done in Peeps, Peeps galleries and Peeps being used as ingredients for recipes. There is just no end to what you can do with Peeps!
