Why not give gifts this Christmas that encourage an active lifestyle in your household? If you haven't finished shopping for the women on your list, here are some suggestions.
BTW, when shopping for workout gear and apparel for the gym, the neighborhood athletic store will generally serve its purpose. But for true outdoor gear, I prefer to shop through more specialized outdoor adventure retailers. My favorites are REI, EMS, or L.L.Bean. Right now, each has FREE SHIPPING and a shopping incentive:
REI: spend $100 and receive a $20 gift card to use by 01/06/13
EMS: spend $75 and receive a $15 "Gear Bucks" card to use in January, 2013
L.L.Bean: spend $50 and receive a $10 gift card to use by 02/13/13
Snow Shoes
Moving from California, we did not enjoy our first few winters in the Midwest. Last year we decided to make the best of it, and found we really enjoyed snowshoeing.
Both REI and L.L.Bean have them starting around $100. EMS has a 20% off sale, so prices start at $80.
I'm not sure if I'm convinced about this trend yet, but my wife, Julie is really into these down skirts. Supposedly they're all the rage in Alaska, and making their way south. Apparently they're worn with wool tights.
EMS and REI both have these skirts. L.L.Bean doesn't seem to carry them.
Headbands are everywhere. You can find them at any area store, but Julie's favorite is from REI, and pictured at right.
Arm warmers, wristlets, and buffs (neck warmers) also seem to be popular right now.
Gals, what's on your wishlist this Christmas?
