I love to entertain, and am fortunate to have the space to host big, noisy, outdoor bashes. Even when the snow’s flying we’ll bring the party outside, huddling around a bonfire and listening to tunes. So, for my gift guide, I’ve selected products meant to withstand a little abuse from Mother Nature. Oh, and I’ve also thrown in a product that’ll keep you fit as a fiddle, even when you’re cooped up at your desk.
