The winter holidays are a time of celebration, family gatherings, and, of course, gifts. In our rush to shower loved ones with presents, we sometimes forget not all gifts are equally valued—many are quickly forgotten, broken, or sadly regifted.
A truly thoughtful gift is one that’s needed, that serves a practical purpose, and that causes the gift receiver’s face to light up when they unwrap it. Ideally, it’s also something that can be used immediately. The following holiday gifts provide warmth and comfort for the winter—and for many holiday seasons to come.
North Face Jackets
Ladies Ridgeline Soft Shell Jacket
Women’s North Face jackets are known for superior weather protection, and the ladies ridgeline soft shell jacket is no exception. Like other North Face fleece jackets, the Ridgeline is highly wind resistant with a brushed micro-gridded fleece interior to keep the wearer warm when those winter winds pick up. This is the perfect layering piece for cold winter months.
Ladies Apex Barrier Soft Shell Jacket
Made from 100 percent windproof fabric, this women’s North Face jacket offers warmth combined with a durable water repellent coating to keep wet snow at bay.
Men’s Traverse Triclimate 3-in-1 Jacket
A versatile North Face men’s jacket, the Traverse Triclimate is made up of a waterproof shell with a detachable insulated liner. Wear both together during the depths of winter, and switch between the two as spring weather approaches.
Men’s Ridgeline Soft Shell Jacket
A great mid-weight option for working or playing in wintry conditions, the North Face Men’s Ridgeline jacket offers a wind resistant and water repellant shell over a warm fleece interior, making it a great choice for skiing expeditions.
Carhartt Jackets for Men
Yukon Active Jacket
With Arctic quilt lining, rib-knit cuffs, and a quilt-lined hood, the Yukon active is one of the most popular winter Carhartt jackets for men, providing warmth and dryness in a wide range of environments.
Quick Duck Sawtooth Parka
The Quick Duck sawtooth parka is Carhartt’s solution for extreme winter conditions. With fully-sealed seams to keep out wet snow and an attached hood, this durable parka is lighter than you’d expect thanks to Carhart’s use of 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation.
Full Swing Cryder Jacket
Got an outdoorsman in the family who needs his full range of motion as works in the elements? The Full-Swing Cryder jacket from Carhartt is designed for ease of movement, with less constriction than you’d expect in a winter jacket.
Carhartt Jackets for Women
Women’s Brewster Denim Jacket
Denim never goes out of style, as Carhartt’s Brewster jacket proves. With adjustable cuffs, two chest pockets and two zipper-secured lower-front pockets, this stylish jacket makes a great addition to any woman’s wardrobe.
Women’s Sandstone Berkley Jacket
Carhartt jackets for women are intended for everyday use, combining style with functionality. The Sandstone Berkley Jacket’s Sherpa lining and three-piece hood provide protection from the elements while still looking great.
Full Swing Quick Duck Sherpa-Lined Jacket
For women who prefer skiing and snowmobiling to waiting out the winter by the fire, Carhartt’s Full-Swing Quick Duck jacket has arms that move without causing the jacket to ride up, a larger bend at the elbows, and stretchy shoulders for easy movement in outdoor settings.
Carhartt Sweatshirts for Women
What’s better than snuggling up in a cozy sweatshirt in front of the fireplace as the winter winds howl outside? The Clarksburg Pullover Sweatshirt from Carhartt keeps her warm and comfy whether she’s indoors or out.
Ideal for casual settings, Carhartt’s Meadow Heather is so comfortable you’ll want one for yourself—a waffle-knit hoodie with soft raglan sleeves.
Carhartt Sweatshirts for Men
Designed for strenuous outdoor activities, the Rain Defender Paxton Hooded Zip Mock Sweatshirt is a sturdy sweatshirt with triple stitched main seams and a hidden security pocket in the front hand warmer.
In contrast, the Midweight Crewneck Sweatshirt is the sweatshirt he needs for when he just wants to kick back and relax as he watches the big game or binges his favorite television show.
Men’s Under Armour Sweatshirt
Carhartt isn’t the only source for quality sweatshirts. Under Armour’s Storm Fleece Hoody is a fleece-lined, water repellent sweatshirt that wicks a sweat away from the body.
Carhartt Thermal Underwear
Okay, we know underwear has never been a popular holiday gift for kids, but we’re adults now, and recognize the benefits of a good pair of thermal undies. Combine the Base Force Extremes Cold Weather Bottom with the Base Force Extremes Cold Weather Crewneck for a gift any outdoor enthusiast will appreciate.
Women’s Under Armour Sweatshirt
With a brushed fleece inner lining and quick-drying outer surface, the Ladies Storm Armour Fleece Hoodie battles the elements with a durable water repellent finish and adjustable three-piece hood with scuba collar for extra coverage.
Under Armour Cold Gear
Under Armour Cold Gear takes a high-tech approach to warmth. The Men’s Corporate Reactor Jacket and Ladies ColdGear Infrared Dobson Softshell Jacket use a soft, thermo-conductive inner layer to retain body heat, making these two jackets great for skiers, winter hikers, and anyone who works outside.
Carhartt Beanies
Great for stocking stuffers and secret Santa gifts, Carhartt beanies are both stylish and practical. Or if you prefer, get a free beanie with every CROWN contractor jacket you purchase through Triple Crown Products.
North Face Backpacks
Want a great gift for college students enduring their first winter semesters? Pick up one of our high-quality North Face Backpacks and fill it with sweatshirts, hot chocolate packs, and other winter supplies.
Happy Holidays! And stay warm out there!
