Brainsport Times Dec. 16, 2015
Christmas is nine days away! It's tough believe, being the weather has felt more like March than mid-December. Nonetheless, Christmas is certainly coming!
It's most likely many of you are still getting some of your final holiday baking and gift shopping done. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do to help you with the baking, but we may be helpful on the shopping front!
In place of a Q&A this week, check out some of our Staff Holiday Gift Picks. And, don't forget we're open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Christmas Eve!
Staff Holiday Gift Picks
Lisette's pick this year is Ultimate Direction's Ultra Vesta because it holds lots of stuff, doesn't bounce around, and it's sized for women!
Harvey's pick is the Salomon Spikecross. It keeps him feeling safe and secure on the ice. It's also very comfortable!
Jaimie is going with the Saucony Run Mitt. Primarily, because it has a soft spot to wipe your nose off (gross, but true!). Its wind protection also makes it super warm.
Jaclyn's pick is the Uksi Winter Skirt. She likes the Uksi because it can be worn on many different occasions, and it keeps her warm! She also likes that each skirt is unique in design.
Fionnuala's choice gift is the Salomon Nova Softshell pant. She likes that it's very light weight, super warm, has a flattering fit and is great for running or biking.
The super-versatile Buff is Kim's pick this year. We have a huge selection of Buffs in the store this season. Including NHL team logo Buffs.
Ben's go-to item is the Flip Belt. He uses it every day to hold his cell phone and keys while on his running commute to the store. It's super comfortable, and makes running with a handful of items easy!
Jason's pick this year is the Adidas zip-up hoodie. This super cozy pick has become a favourite among several staff. It's also available in a women's style.
