Lake Winnipesaukee Water for sale

Janet · 09-13-2006, 10:03 PM

Not all of us are able to be at the lake as often as we would like. Living in Texas it's hard to get to the lake every weekend. Yes I purchased the bottled lake water as a Christmas gift to my 9 year old nephew who lives in Fort Worth Texas and loves the lake. He has one corner of his room devoted to memorabilia of the lake and I knew this would be one of his most favorite presents. Hope this doesn't sound too harsh, however, everyone has their reason for purchasing items.

Janet - sounds like a great purchase, which will become a treasured gift! Good for you!

I'm sure your nephew will absolutely squeal with delight when he opens your gift this Christmas!

Sounds OK to me.

As a Christmas present, however, it needs to go to the freezer on Christmas Eve!

I see a few red faces on the forum today.What's wrong with a souvenier from the big lake?I bet some members might have dirt from a certain field in Foxboro!

The person who did this is second on my list of entrepreneurial heros only to the guy who came up with the Pet Rock!

I wish I had thought of it first!

Not to rain on this parade...but..How do you know it has come from Lake Winnipesaukee and not a faucet or other local source of water

Just got to have faith.

Thanks Pepper and Rattlesnake Gal for your kind words. I know my nephew will be excited when he opens his present. He won't know if it really came from the lake or a faucet - he'll think it's lake water and will be thrilled.

Janet,
faith will do in this case. It sounds like your nephew will treasure this gift.

Having once lived in Concord where the seller was shipping from, theres not a whole lot of diffrence between water from the lake and water from Concords taps!
