Brooke Shields' gift list sweetens sales for Vermont syrup

The 109-year-old Robb Family Farm in Brattleboro says it's seen a 60 percent jump in sales since the actress listed the syrup among her 12 best holiday gifts for women published in People Magazine's holiday gift guide last month.

Shields' list includes the $14.95 pint-sized tin of syrup, a skincare travel set, a scarf, a necklace, a book, pens and $100 Hermes playing cards.

[...] ever since the photo of the retro State of Vermont syrup can with the images of two men in a horse and sleigh collecting sap appeared in People, the Robbs have sold at more cans than usual, at least 80.
