Geoff - Merrell Shiver Moc

Why? “For 100 bucks, this is the best winter shoe you can buy. Incredibly light warm and waterproof without overheating. It has one of the grippiest winter soles I’ve ever seen, you won’t slip wearing this thing!” - Geoff

So, what about the details? Waterproof has an upgraded impermeable membrane and waterproof construction to keep your feet dry through the slush and slop. Aggressive traction bars on the tread hold on at ground zero, and the Polartec lined, elasticized full grain upper pulls on with ease to keep you warm when the mercury hovers around zero.

Mai - Kleen Kanteen Wide Mouth Insulated Bottle and Cafe Cap

Why? “Be eco-friendly while enjoying your favorite latte on the go in this stylish stainless steel container. Perfect for hot cocoa on those cold frosty nights!” - Mai

So, what about the details? The double-walled, vacuum insulated bottle that does triple duty as a leakproof thermos, an insulated food container and a stylish to-go mug. It has safe, BPA-free, 18/8, food-grade stainless steel, easy-to-clean rounded corners and stainless steel threads. And you’ll definitely find yourself mentioning how you can toss it in your bag with the leakproof Stainless Loop Cap on, then switch to the Café Cap and convert it to a shiny to-go mug with a quick twist.

Caitlin – Smartwool Baby Bootie Batch
