We all know that any time is a good time to get outdoors . . . and at this moment in history it is even more beneficial and rewarding than ever. It is also very important to support small businesses during big buying seasons. And, we believe any efforts to support and empower women and to work towards a more gender-balanced economic landscape - are well-spent efforts.
Following is a list of gift ideas around these ideals - some fun, some unique, some just great things the giftee would be thrilled to receive. Our list is a combination of women-related ideas we want you to know about, mixed with the items that are on the holiday wish lists of the Adventures in Good Company staffers.
