For Mamacita Is there anyone who should be spoiled more during the holidays than mom? The Patagonia Better Sweater has grown in popularity over the years and is flying off of the shelves this season. This jacket has the comfort, warmth and easy-care washability of fleece but the look of a classic sweater. The Better Sweater comes with or without a hood in men's and women's styles. One reviewer said, "This is hands-down the best fleece I have ever owned. The tighter weave keeps out more wind than previous fleeces, and the handwarmer pockets are super cozy. I love the slim-fit of the jacket. Its a really flattering cut that looks good over jeans, work slacks, or dresses."

For their Stocking The perfect stocking stuffer: Patagonia ski socks. Their long cuffs and ribbed design protect their legs from boot-bang and prevent annoying migration. The felted footbed is cushioned and insulated and the moisture-wicking performance lasts the lifetime of the sock.

For the Manly Man The Fjord Flannel shirt is a great choice for men this time of year. The heavyweight flannel, soft hand and sturdy design make this a staple for cold weather climates. One reviewer said, "Nothing got me more excited for Fall than this shirt. A burly, heavy duty flannel that looks great and provides enough warmth to prevent the fall chill from digging in too soon, it has become a favorite in my wardrobe. And since it is made of footprint-reducing organic cotton, the environmentalist in you will have no objections." (We have cute, cozy tailored flannel shirts for women this year too.)

For the Bendite Seriously, Bend is the perfect place for a down jacket. Cold, dry air is an ideal climate for down, whether you are trekking through the backcountry or putting the warmest possible layer over your shirt to head out on the town. Patagonia's Slingshot Down Jacket is 600-fill goose down and the Fitz Roy Down Jacket has 700-fill white down clusters. Both are water-repellent and streamlined. (Slingshot is a men's style. The Fitz Roy Down Jacket is available in men's and women's styles.)

For the Well-Dressed Athlete The Nano Puff line of outerwear has grown immensely in popularity this year. The Nano line is similar to the Patagonia down sweater but uses synthetic fill instead of down. Windproof and water-resistant, the Nano Puff® Hoody jacket is warm, incredibly lightweight, highly compressible and can be worn as insulation or outerwear in cold climates. The jacket's lines are sleek and flattering so they can look good while they enjoy the outdoors. We also have the Nano Puff Jacket (no hood), the Nano Puff Pullover and the Nano Storm (a Nano puff lines a waterproof shell) in stock in Men's and Women's styles.

For your Friend We have a huge range of hats, beanies and gloves in stock. These gifts are easy as pie and are well-liked by friends in cold climates.

For the Hard-to-Please For a gift anyone will love, the Down Sweater Vest hits the spot. Warms their core, layers nicely and looks great on everyone. (Available in men's and women's styles.)

For your Sweetheart Forget lacy lingerie for the holidays... stuff her stocking with what she'll really wear. Wicking, breathable underwear for all of her sports.

For the Ski Bunny Our popular Powder Bowl Ski Jacket offers exceptional performance in snowstorms or sunshine with water repellent and a waterproof/breathable barrier. This Powder Bowl has everything you could want in a ski jacket: the body wicks moisture; slick mesh lining in the sleeves glides over layers; pit zips control heat; the removable hood adjusts two ways; a wraparound gripper elastic keeps the powder skirt secure; and articulated arms let you move freely. The Powder Bowl Jacket is available in insulated and non-insulated versions. (Available in men's and women's styles.)

For the Little Pup Little babies need warm, cozy Patagonias too. The Patagonia fleece bunting can zip together like a sleep sack or into legs for the car seat.

For the Girl with Cold Hands and a Warm Heart Does she really, genuinely hate being cold? This is her jacket. This is as close as she can get to wearing a sleeping bag all day and yet it is streamlined and tailored to look adorable on. The Downtown Loft Parka has snaps in addition to the zipper so she can swing it on while she's rushing out the door. This is our top gift pick this season for those who aren't as crazy about the very cold La Nina days ahead.
