Last Minute Gift Ideas
Time is running out, and if you are like me you don’t think about these things until…umm now?
Last minute gift ideas, and yes, they are all our clients, so we have tested, approved, and love them. Here’s a quick run-down.
Helly Hansen Base layers: A must have for anyone and everyone that plays, works, or moves through the outdoors in northern climates. It’s a gift that can appeal to anyone.
Danner Hiking Boots: We gave these out as family gifts a few years ago and they were a hit. Every time they get used—we get thanked. Seriously one of the greatest hits in the gift world.
Philips Sonicare toothbrush: Once we gave these as a gift and the recipient asked if we were trying to tell them something. Yes, we are. Good oral health is important. If you have not tried one of these-they are highly suggested.
Chirp: Like a stocking stuffer but way cooler, and way better than a foam roller. Once you Chirp you will never go back, but your back will thank you. Perfect for those of us over the middle-aged line, athletes and everyone else who is a little tight.
Philips Coffee: Perfection and simplicity of coffee at the touch of a button. Excellent gift for those who want to enjoy real coffee without the lines. We like to shout out orders to ourselves to make it feel like a coffee house still.
Go big, get a Big Green Egg: If you like food there is nothing like this, it will change your life. Seriously, it’s a way of life, not a BBQ.
Not really an impulse buy, but if you want to take pizza to the next level this is the only way to go. Skip the cheap knockoff brands and jump straight into Italy with an Alfa Forni.
And for purists, water purification that is Grayl hits the spot. Simple portable in-bottle purification that should be standard equipment on all adventures.
But, as they say in advertising, hurry time’s running out…
