Darn Tough socks. An ice scraper. Walking stick. Gluten-free bread. A card with "/r/newtovermont" on it.

Why Gluten-free bread.

I was with you on everything else. Just curious why that's you're suggestion?

I would of handed them some Cabot Chedder personally, but I'm interested to hear where you're coming from.

Maple filled donuts, Cabot cheese, a bottle of Vermont maple syrup, warm mittens and a COEXIST bumper sticker.

You forgot the passive aggressive note tucked in the bottom of the basket explaining what is acceptable behavior and what is not. And a whispered signature at the bottom calling you a fucking flatlander through gritted teeth.

In a city center, any of the things listed already. Anywhere over 30 minutes from a city center, it would have:

Bud light, “Take Vermont Back” bumper sticker (a collectible from the early aughts!), Maga hat, truck testicles, some dip and a note calling you a flatlander, and telling you to go home to whatever country you’re from if you happen to be a POC

Close, except the only person who would bring a basket to start with is a flat lander. A Vermonter will let you live you life and be polite if you decide to introduce yourself.

You may meet them the first time when they come to help because your car is stuck 1/2 in the road because you thought the density of plow snow is the same as fallen snow and though you could make it in or out of the driveway.

When I moved here (pre-pandemic) I got a note on my car simply saying "Go home!"

Grafton sharp cheddar, maple syrup, foraged mushrooms, a hand crafted ceramic mug, a bag of Mocha Joes coffee, a pamphlet of local hiking trails and swim spots.

I was hoping for a coupon for septic service.

Oh yeah, and a coupon for some seasoned cordwood.

I was in my teens and high all the time. Excuse me for not wholly clinging to a 20something year old slogan used by the kind of people I purposefully avoided. I switched up 2 goddamn words you bland ass twatsicle.

Funny as it is, I actually GOT a welcome wagon lady come to my apartment when I first moved to VT in the early 70's. I don't even remember what was in it, but the act itself was really kind. To be honest, I'd forgotten all about it till this conversation reminded me. Good times.
