Great Gift Ideas for Home and Family

 
For the Beach Lover:
 
Designed to give you the feel of the view from a glass-bottomed boat, this coaster set is handmade in Florida using real beach sand and deep turquoise resin.
 
Cost: $50 for a set of four.
 

 
 
For the Skier or Snowboarder:
 
 
Each glass features a ski resort map in alpine-inspired colors showing trails, lifts, and lodges. Choose from twelve different winter resorts.
 
Cost: $20 per glass.
 

 
 
For the Person Who Loves Grilling AND Pizza:
Gas or Charcoal Grill Pizza Baking Insert
 
 
It's the best of both worlds: KettlePizza kits turn gas and charcoal grills into pizza ovens! A great gift for anyone who enjoys grilling and outdoor entertaining.
 
Price: Starts at around $130.
 

 
 
For Anyone Who Walks on Ice:
Nanospikes Footwear Traction
 
 
It only takes one rogue weather system to create icy walking conditions, which is when spiked footwear starts sounding like an excellent idea. :) Reviewers say these nanospikes provide great traction and are easy to put on.
 
Cost: Around $50.
 

 
 
For the Comfort Loving Cocoa Drinker:
The Caribou Cocoa Buddies Set
 
 
Kids and adults who like hot cocoa with marshmallows and cookies (in other words, practically everyone) will appreciate these whimsical stir sticks. 
 
Cost: $20 for a set of two.
 

 
 
For the Adventurer Who Plans Ahead:
The IceMule Backpack Cooler
 
 
This hardy waterproof cooler has a backpack design that makes it easy to carry on walks and short hikes, and reviewers say it does a great job of keeping things cold. It also floats, making it a handy addition to rafting and water adventures.
 
Price: $42 to $62.
 

 
 
This handy bamboo cheese board comes with knives and folds up into a pie-shaped piece that's easy to store. 
 
Price:  $47 to $81
 

 
 
 
 
Coffee lovers can cold-brew their own coffee and keep it chilly for up to 24 hours in the insulated steel carafe. 
 
Price: $50.
 

 
For Kids With Time on Their Hands:
The Color Your Own Dinosaur Pillowcase
 
 
A pillowcase that brings a bit of prehistoric charm to bedtime! It comes with pen colors that wash out easily, so the case can be used multiple times. Reviewers say it's a hit with the kids.
 
Price: $20.
 

 
For the Person Who Has It All
Featured Charity: Heifer International
 
 
It's hard to go wrong giving a gift that helps others in need. Heifer International supports and trains local farmers and businesses around the world to help them increase their incomes through self-supporting enterprises. Gifts can be made in honor of someone else.
 
Cost: Starting at $20.
