The 2020 Holiday Season
A global pandemic, shutdowns and stay-at-home orders have caused 2020 to be a rough year for everyone. Travel plans were canceled, special events were postponed, and many adventures had to be put on hold. While this holiday season may not look like most, we can still make it special! One way to do that is to find the perfect gift for your family and friends.
A few trends have emerged as a result of 2020, including buying American made products and focusing on local, outdoor adventures! So, we have created the perfect holiday shopping guide with that in mind!

Darn Tough is a family owned business that has been knitting socks in Vermont for nearly 40 years. They say they make their socks in the USA not because it’s the easy thing to do, but because it’s the right thing to do. They state," There are faster and cheaper alternatives but nobody ever outsourced anything for quality." They use only the best ethically sourced Merino Wool and make a sock for every activity! We personally highly recommend their hiking/trekking socks! Getting socks for Christmas can actually be exciting when they are Darn Tough socks!
