The Braveheart Collection

Who says real men don’t wear skirts??? Josh is dressed to the ‘kilt’ in this basket, and he is ready to share some of the beauty of Scotland with you!

We honor him with a character from one of his favorite movies, William Wallace, otherwise known as BRAVEHEART. Josh has touched lives of fans as well as countless children with his music, his generosity and his kindness, and whether they are in an audience in a concert hall, or in an orphanage in Africa, they have all been touched by Josh’s ‘brave heart’.

Josh is joined by brother Chris as characters reminiscent of the movie Braveheart on an original, one of a kind Per Te Café cookbook cover, with artwork by Mel (Honeybee). The cover is signed by the entire Groban family. In addition to the special cover, this original Per Te Café cookbook (JGF/Special thanks to the Groban family and Alice-HiTekGal) also has additional cookbook pages, with recipes chosen to match the Braveheart theme, and a matching tote! (Brenda/BlackTassel).

You will be able to try it out and cook in the wild outdoors with a grill and cooler combo, and kabob basket (**) and STUNNING embroidered apron, (Mary Ellen/mimimel) with a picture of Josh as your very own ’BraveChef’ . Also included are lovely embroidered bagpipe napkins and hand towel, (Mary Ellen/mimimel) and fingertip towel with embroidered bagpipes (Marga).You and a friend can enjoy your favorite beverage in your custom travel mugs, with the ‘GROBAN’* coat of arms emblem (Journey). You can camp out in comfort on your Scottish plaid picnic blanket, with travel case and book pocket (**) and shamrock bookmark (Sarah/Princessleia) and custom made to match pillow (Deborah/debjd).

Choose to dress for the occasion in your beautiful blue Isle of Skye tee, (size large-Kathy/Momkats) or if you want to explore one of Scotland’s beautiful golf courses, you can ‘spread the Josh’ with your Groban coat of arms golf tee shirt, (2X) golf cap and key chain (Journey) and your custom made Josh charm bracelet (Leah/Tempeste) and ‘Scottish’ charm bracelet (Mariah/Mariahsbutterfly). Straight from Scotland’s Isle of Skye, where portions of the movie Braveheart were filmed, there is a lovely Celtic cross necklace with Skye stone (Kathy/Momkats). Also included is a cross necklace engraved with the immortal words of William Wallace/Braveheart, ‘FREEDOM’,(**) and a sterling silver heart shaped keyring (gift from vendor).

When you are ready to call it a day and retreat indoors, we have an assortment of goodies for you to enjoy. Curl up and get cozy in your handmade lap blanket (Darene/OldButInLove) and watch one of Josh’s favorite movies, what else…Braveheart !! (dvd/cd, Mariah) Later, some of Josh’s friends join the fun and fill the night with music with a BLOODY LOVELIES cd, (Mariah/Randy/Eric) ‘Some Truth and a Little Money’, signed by Randy Wooten and Eric Holden .Or, enjoy one of Josh’s favorites, a Hevia cd titiled "Etnico, ma non troppo".

At the end of the day, surround yourself with all things Josh. First, enjoy a little history with a great Coat of Arms describing the origins of the name Groban * (Journey). For your walls, we have a custom made Braveheart/BraveChef 12 month calendar, with pages full of images of Josh and beautiful Scotland, and some information on interesting connections that the name Groban has there! In addition, we have a clock autographed by Boston DJ ‘BOSTON PETE’ (Marino), a big fan of Josh’s music ( Mariah and Boston Pete). The inscription reads: Playing the most Josh Groban on the radio!

Finally, you can hang your custom Josh door plaque ( Celeste/Brazilliangrobie) out and record your memories of the day in your custom made Josh notepad (Celeste/Brazilliangrobie), then prepare for some sweet dreams with your custom embroidered ‘Dreaming of Josh’ sleep mask w/bag (Mary Ellen/mimimel)
