BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Say "I love you" this Valentine's Day with a unique and memorable gift. Heart-shaped key chains carved from the famous 619-year-old Basking Ridge Oak Tree that was cut down about two years ago are now for sale.

The Basking Ridge Oak Collection, presented by Forged in Wood, is available exclusively at The Rebecca Collection and now online.
