The Spend Matters Gift Guide: Pacific Northwest Products

Wondering what presents to procure this holiday season? The Spend Matters Gift Guide offers suggestions on what to give your friends, family or your boss this year. Today's suggestion comes from Sheena Smith, director of client engagement for Spend Matters Network.

This Pacific Northwest girl has chosen to pimp all Pacific Northwest products to give the gift of warmth during a cold, wet, winter. First on the list? Forget normcore. Now that it's officially cold out, it's time for lumbercore. Seattle-based Filson's flannel Alaskan Guide Shirt can be a base layer all winter and a jacket in the fall (I even wear mine on the slopes). It comes in a variety of bright tartans to liven up long gray days for both boys and girls. Next: warm and dry feet are happy feet. Pick up a pair of classic Danner boots. I like the Mountain Light myself. Last on the list? A Pendleton wool blanket. Getting your first Pendleton wool blanket is a rite of passage if you grow up in the PNW. Nothing is cozier!
