Q. I'm done with my Christmas shopping and this week I'm shipping all of the presents to my family in California.
Do you think it's a good idea to buy candies online (Godiva and see's candies) or buy candies at the store and have it ship along with the presents?
Beside that, I want to add candies to my nephew's stockings but I don't know when should I buy them. Can I buy them now? Would they melt before Christmas?
I have my heater on, since it's really cold and snowy outside.
Thanks people.

A. I LOVE SEES. LOVE IT TO DEATH! I've been eating Sees Candies since the 50's so that's been a long time. I just spent $170 (not even including shipping priority) at the Sees Store 2 weeks ago and I sent boxes to my loved ones in Boston. They do not have Sees there, only at the airport.
I do not buy pre-packaged Sees. I pick my own. I bring a list (by looking at the online selections) and I choose my own selection. They always love what I choose. I choose truffles, nuts, caramels, soft centers, so take your time, best to go when they first open so you're the first customer and there's not a long line behind you. That's the trick. The Sees store here at the mall always has tons of people. DON'T FORGET TO GET THE CRANBERRY ORANGE truffle. It's only around for Christmas and oh-so-delicious.
Sees will not go bad for weeks, and THEY ARE FREEZABLE, just tell the people you are giving them to that they can freeze if not eaten right away. I wish someone would send me some Sees. I'm already broke. :)
Bring a lot of $$$ because Sees is now $16.50/pound (?) Spendy but worth it. I used to live 30 miles from the factory when I lived in CA. It's truly the freshest candy and truly the best on the planet.
Have no fear getting it early. Better early and beat the crowds. Like I said, come when they very first open in the morning.
Good luck.

What kind of care does a Boston Fern require?
Q. What do I need to do to keep a Boston Fern happy. Its a Christmas gift and I don't know room temp, water schedule, fertilization, in short I know nothing about them. Please help!
A. Indirect or bright diffused light is best. They don't like full sun.
Moderately moist soil is preferred. Water thoroughly when just the soil surface is dry to the touch. Make sure your plants have good drainage. During active growth, these plants should be watered on a regular basis in order for the soil to remain moist. Try to use water that doesn't contains harmful chlorine. Or let your tap water set out overnight before using it for watering.
The Boston fern is easy to grow, but likes high humidity. Bright, dry conditions will cause yellowing and browning of the fronds. Misting a Boston fern from time to time is a good idea.

Try to keep the temperature in the range of 65-72 degrees.

Here's a nice Q & A site on Boston Ferns:
During its growing season use a general fertilizer (20-20-20-, 10-10-10). Do not fertilize in the winter months. Resume when spring arrives. Boston ferns are tropical and really tolerate temperatures of 50 degrees and not much below that.

Where to host an event for 100 in Boston?
Q. I'm looking for a venue to host a workshop in Boston. The speaker dislikes hotels so I'm looking for something a bit more unusual. He's held seminars in garages and the like. Any suggestions? Thanks!
A. WOW, he hates hotels. That makes it very hardto put on an event! But you can use this to your advantage. If you show him creativity or that you are paying attention to something that is important to him, he will be impressed. Read his bio and do a little more in depth research on him. If he is willing to do it in a garage, it is good because he does not have the "big speaker" ego problem. He cares more about getting the message out, than he cares about ego. But you're never gonna fit a hundred people into a garage. You can fit alot in rented warehouse space, but you're also gonna have to pay for chairs and make sure you have bathrooms and temperature.
If the event is coming up when it is warmer, why not in tents outdoors at a park or at a area of cultutal or historic importance. Since you are in Boston there should be tons of these. How about a tent or even just a cordoned off area along the "freedom trail". This can be very inexpensive, tent rental is cheap, but remember "bathroom" facilities they are expensive. How about a scenic site near the water, how about the public gardens, the esplanade or quincy market?
I have held several events at our local science museum and art museum. I remember you guys have a big aquarium. This gives are real "classy" experience because you're tied in to the "big" charities in the area. The guests also find it fun and usually tour the museum before and after. I set up a docent (guided free tour) for the guests before and after. Museums give your guests admission with the cost of the event. You have several VERY classy and prestigious museums in Boston. The cost at the museum is only slightly higher than a hotel would have been, but if it is a subject that they care about, you could ask them to cosponsor. Your real issue is that if you have it at a museum, the guests are going to expect "gift bags". While you can usually get those free from local businesses, it takes ALOT of time and effort.
I've done several events at churches. They have all the amenities like break out rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, air conditioning and heating. Also it helps open "diaglog" to have it at a church. I coordinated a countywide workshop on addressing homelessness, several teaching events, several leadership events at churches. In some cases I have made donations to offset their costs, in some cases I have actually had them compete with each other to give me the "best" location free and all the amenities.
If you're on a budget, most local libraries can seat a hundred easily and this will be very cheap. But you should try to "dress up" the room. I invite a high quality local artists to do a showing on the same day I did an event at the "best" library in my area. Again libraries have all the amenities, bathrooms, AC or heating, and even small kitchens.
I''ve done events at city hall, but only before 9/11. I wouldn't even try now in a big city, but maybe in a suburb.
Don't forget to make sure your location has enough CLOSE parking. Don't forget to ge extra toilet paper, even in places you'd assume should have enough . I've seen seminars crash because of of this.
Good Luck! Post more details and we can probably come up with even more creative ideas.

How would one get in contact with the charity rep for the Boston Red Sox?
Q. I'm not sure how to go about finding valid contact information of a charity representative for the Boston Red Sox team.
I'm interested in contacting someone who may be able to have a baseball signed by the players upon my request for a friend as a gift.
If anyone has any information that might assist me with this, it will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance ~

A. I have no idea, sorry. Maybe ask on Boston Red Sox forum, there will be a lot more people that might know that then on here.
