Stanton Hall Gift Shop

When Frederick Stanton built the mansion back in 1851 he didn’t know how famous was to become. The owner of Stanton Hall was a cotton broker who wanted the perfect house for his family. Located in Natchez, Mississippi Stanton Hall is today a historic house museum.

In 1974 the house was officially names a National Historic Landmark and from 1995 it became a Mississippi Landmark. It is also known as Belfast. Its past is rich and connected to an interesting period in the American History. It is no surprise in the fact that it has become a landmark.

Back then Frederick Stanton decided that an incredible house deserves only the best. That is why today visitors can see chandeliers made in France, mahogany doors, Carrera marble and Italian origin statuaries. A blending of incredible and amazing elements assured a unique identity. Stanton enjoyed only one month of living in this dream, perfect house.

At its time the building represented a symbol of taste and refinement. Every piece of furniture and every architectural element is a classy touch. The concept and the design line continue to impress even today. Nobody can be immune to the charm of an Italian craftwork. If you’re not impressed by the Italians then, perhaps you will like more the French accents of the interior.

The mansion functioned for a short period as a college for young women. When the Pilgrimage Garden Club took in charge Stanton Hall was in an awful condition. The people there are responsible for restoring the antebellum house and bringing it to the great form it is today. Today the building welcomes its visitors with original, antique furniture. All year round the house is opened to everybody. After the tour Carriage House Restaurant offers a delicious display of Southern cuisine. It is an experience that any gourmet should try.

After history and cuisine the next stop is at the gift shop. It is a shame to miss Stanton Hall gift shop. Visual memories are not enough; a nice, original gift is what makes it the perfect visit. Gift shop’s mission is to bring the clients alternatives and options.

Stanton Hall can house the perfect event for you. Not just weddings, but also fancy parties and receptions can be organized here.

Celtic Park Gift Shop

Celtic Park is a stadium in Scotland. It is the official stadium of the renowned Scottish football team Celtic.

The stadium is situated in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, and it is the sixth-largest stadium in the United Kingdom after Murrayfield, in Edinburgh (hosting the rugby team), Old Trafford, the stadium of the famous Manchester United, Twickenham Stadium (for rugby), the famous Wembley and Milenium Stadium, rugby stadium in Cardiff.

So, rugby and football (called in the American English “soccer”)! Britain is divided by these two national sports that channel the interest of most of the British people. How to choose between such excellent activities? Three of the British national rugby teams are among the first five in the world, while the British football has one of the most proficient leagues in Europe: Premier League with star teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal.

Very few people know that within the Great Britain Scotland has its own football league and that Scottish teams meet the English ones in the European Leagues like every other team of the European countries.

The starring teams in Scotland are Glasgow Rangers and Celtic Glasgow. The Rangers play on Ibrox Park Stadium, while Celtic plays on Celtic Park. As it happens in many other European cities that have two or many more football teams, they are not necessarily in very good terms. In fact, the fans are at each other’s throat and they have no problem showing it. So is the case with the Glasgow fans of the two teams. They don’t like each other at all, and many times what is supposed to be sporting activity degenerates into hooligan display of non fair-play behavior.

The original stadium was built in 1888 and hosted a match against… Rangers. What else? The Celts crushed the Rangers with a score to always remember: 5-2. In 1938 the stadium had an attendance of 92,975 people in a match against the same Glasgow Rangers. Celtic officials assume that the capacity of the Stadium will increase. The Celtic Park is also known as Parkhead or even Paradise.

So what kind of gifts or gadgets can we buy in the Celtic Park gift shops? You can buy a T-shirt with the emblem of the club on it and the logo “Since 1888 The Hoops”: it only costs $26,99. For $17.00 you can buy an official flag of Celtic, with white and green stripes and a four-leaf clover on it. A gym sac with the same emblem of the club costs $9,99. A Celtic badge costs 2 sterling pounds, while a Celtic dart board costs 39 sterling pounds.

A Celtic teddy bear called Beanie Bear costs 6.00 sterling pounds and there are even Celtic toothbrushes. A Celtic blanket with an emblem on it costs $25.00. There are also mugs, backpacks, pennants, jerseys and foot balls with the Celtic emblems on them that can be bought.

Do you like Celtic Glasgow? Then, you must have a little something to remind you of it. Go buy it in a Celtic gift shop.

ACT’s Gift Shop

ACT is a theater in Seattle. It is the first theatre in this huge American city that plays contemporary works. This theatre makes history to the present day, being a promoter of contemporary plays since 1965. The ACT manifesto specifies that ACT exists for the same reason education and health systems exist – to improve the quality of life in the American civilization.

The reason ACT was created is the strong belief of those who work there in the contemporary ideas, struggles, and issues. The aim is to create an elevation of the spirit, to bring light to the consciousness, to generate self-awareness, betterment of our own person and of the relations between people.

The communion is the main way to achieve the goals ACT is setting. A deeper understanding, the creation of a philosophical view and a comparison with our human fellows and the world out there in the sense of implicating in the life of the world are purposes that animate all ACT creations. The artists working for this prestigious theater think they push excellence to its ultimate extent.

ACT is considered a reef of artistic practice, creating levels of life experience through theater performance. ACT considers that every performance represents a new possibility to gain insight into the fathomless depths of life.

The risk is, according to those who lead the ACT, essential because without it theater doesn’t fulfill its mission of leading the pack” as they so biblically put it. That is why ACT hosts all sorts of cutting edge theater experiments, and it seems to be successful at it. The theater received numerous awards: Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays, Rockefeller Foundation Multi-Arts Production Fund, Washington State Guvernor’s Arts Award, Seattle’s Best Theater – Seattle Weekly, and many other.

There are six plays that were staged in New York as ACT productions: Scent of the Roses by Lisette Lecat Ross, Temporary Help by David Wiltse, In the Penal Colony by Philip Glass and three more.

A very important feature of this renowned theater is that it has a very sophisticated system of gift shops. Souvenirs we can buy here are as unusual as anything else in this establishment. There is a theatrical artisan bazaar that sells and offers as gifts products made by staff who doesn’t work on the stage anymore or who works in the auxiliary departments. Following to the letter their credo, ACT people see this artifact manufacturing as a way to explore or keep exploring similarly or complementarily to the stage performance.

What exactly can we find in this gift shop? Glass mosaics made by actor and singer Karen Skrinde, pottery made by actor Eric Newman, jewelry made of hammered metals by actor Priscilla Lauris, hand-woven scarves and shawls made by actor Marianne Owen, and many more.

The shopping time depends on the performance hours. Thus, we can buy all these beautiful memorabilia one hour prior to the inception of the ACT stage performance, during the interacts and a little bit after the play is over.

If you’re in the neighborhood, do not hesitate to go visit the gift shops and, why not, attend a play at this modern theater. It’s a cultural experiment that cannot hurt. Agree?
