The holidays are a time for snowshoe treks and ski trips, but they’re also a time for relaxing and having fun. Here are five adaptable gift ideas: You could use them during your favourite outdoor activities, or you could use them when you’re between trips and feeling cozy at home.
Cocoon your feet in softness by slipping on a pair of booties insulated with duck down. Wear them at home or pack them with you for the cabin.
MEC Merino Lightweight 2 Turtleneck – $47
This super comfortable turtleneck will pair nicely with some booties (the ideal combination for quietly reading in front of the fire). As a bonus, merino wool has anti-microbial properties, so it’ll keep smelling fresh.
Etón FRX3 AM/FM/WB Radio – $63
This radio recharges via its solar panel or hand turbine, so if the power goes out over the holidays, you’ll still be able to listen to Tinsel and Tunes.
Victorinox Climber Translucent Knife – $35
Open your Christmas cards, file your kids’ nails, or tighten your glasses. This knife is a classic. If you’re looking for a pocket knife that can also uncork a bottle of red, the Victorinox Climber Translucent Knife comes equipped with a corkscrew (and more).
Joby Gorillamobile Tripod – $38
Broaden your photo ops with this tripod that can be attached practically anywhere and to anything.
