Walk Like a Norwegian

Versatility, warmth and a formfitting shape all are included in Patagonia's 3-in-1 Snowbelle. There is a Norwegian saying that states "there is no bad weather, only bad clothing." With the jacket you are prepared for any weather.

"You can wear this versatile jacket as a waterproof/breathable shell, lightweight insulation on a bluebird day or by combining shell and insulation - a warm combo for cold-weather riding. The 2-layer, 100% polyester shell has a waterproof/breathable H2No® barrier and a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish for storm protection. Slick mesh inside manages moisture and glides over layers. The quilted, insulated zip-out liner is lightweight, and compressible. Finer details include a zip-off, helmet-compatible hood with a laminated visor and 2-way adjustability, pit zips and an adjustable, fully featured powder skirt."

Stomping Out the Cold... In Style!

Sorel makes footwear that is honest, uncomplicated, and unpretentious. Form follows function, and the result is often quite beautiful. Since 1962 Sorel has lived by "being effortlessly outdoors no matter what the elements." This is no fad, Sorel has made a permanent footprint (that's right) as a staple in winter must-haves for men and women. Mission accomplished.

"The One" & Only Scent For You

The notes of this fragrance are composed to have a woody-oriental make-up. The scent is subtle but noticably interesting. It stands out because of the unique composition, not the overwhelming knock-out power which some colognes have. This will make a great gift to your honey this holiday season!

Fragrance Notes: Coriander, Grapefruit, Cardamom seed, Tobacco, Basil, Cedar, Ambre, Ginger, Orange Blossom

(I recommend buying this one at a department store in person so you can smell it first, of course!)

iPod Watch Band

Thanks to its diminutive size and built-in clip, the new iPod nano isn't just a music player — it's a fashion accessory. Make it even more of one with an iPod Watch Band ($25). Made from silicone, these bands come in a variety of colors to coordinate with whatever color nano you prefer, and offer full coverage for the nano, with push-through button covers and an integrated headphone port cover.

Snap

Fresh off the success of, Root, its organic, alcoholic root tea, Art in the Age is back with another organic alcoholic treat. Snap ($33) is an 80 proof, 100% organic spirit inspired by authentic ginger snaps made with blackstrap molasses and fresh ginger, featuring flavors of both ingredients, with a hint of butter. Serve it straight, with a splash soda, or mixed with a good bourbon for a cold weather pick-me-up.

Bustin' Wind, One Gust at a Time...

With the GustBuster Umbrella!




This umbrella has wind-release vents so even gusts of 55 miles an hour can’t turn it inside out; keep it classic with a hardwood handle. At $35 this is a must-have. I have had umbrellas that blew insideout first use, I had one blow inside out that cost almost double what this costs. That's just embarrassing, okay?
