Marmot Minimalist Jacket

Retail: $200

Clean styling, effective performance and durable construction all go in to making the Marmot Minimalist GORE-TEX® Jacket, an invaluable asset in the city or in the backcountry. The Minimalist is a lightweight shell for the dedicated outdoors person, using Gore's inimitable Paclite® to give it guaranteed reliability.

The lightest, most packable outerwear available, GORE-TEX® PacLite® garments are durably waterproof, windproof and breathable and are built for activities when weight and space are critical, but protection is still important.

The face fabric is constructed of high-performance polyester or nylon and on the inside GORE-TEX® Paclite® Shells use a specific GORE-TEX® membrane with a protective layer made of an oil-hating substance and carbon. So no separate lining is required. This makes GORE-TEX® Paclite® shells lighter and smaller to pack away.

Special Gore-Seam® tape technology ensures all seams are 100% waterproof.

GORE-TEX® PacLite® Shells are great for trekking, hiking, backpacking, mountaineering, cycling, hunting, fishing, golfing and water sports.

Leprechaun Hard Ciders are the finest American hard ciders, made in small batches by artisan cidermakers from hand-picked cider apples from the Pacific Northwest.

Gluten free and 7% abv, each lightly carbonated bottle of Leprechaun hard cider is the perfect gift for your favorite foodie.
Choose between our Golden blend, a slightly sweet American style cider, full of rich apple flavor, or our Dry blend, a drier European style cider, an excellent alternative to champagne, prosecco and moscato.

One 22 oz bottle of Leprechaun slips easily in a stocking, and several fill a gift basket with the best kind of holiday cheer. Or chill and serve at your holiday party – they pair nicely with all holiday foods, whether you go for turkey and dressing, enchiladas and gravy, or pizza and wings.

Happy Holidays, from Leprechaun Cider Company!

Mi Casa Massage

Austin, TX 78703

What could be a greater gift for a friend, loved one, or even yourself this holiday season than the gift of taking time for oneself? Owner and therapist Julie O'Leary began her career as a massage therapist in 2004. During training Julie was drawn to techniques which address soft tissue release and realignment like deep tissue, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and sports massage. It is through continued experience and education, Julie has evolved the Mi Casa technique. Therapists at Mi Casa Massage train side by side with Julie and each other in order to develop continuity in the quality of work we each provide. One of our passions is connecting clients to the important role body work plays in the management of pain, injury and recovery. A Mi Casa deep tissue and sports massage session is tailored to individual training goals. Some sessions are reserved for specific issues building up to an athletic event. Other sessions serve the purpose of flushing the muscles and connective tissue to break up more superficial adhesions and congestion in order to invigorate and energize the body. If you are not currently in an exercise routine but are looking to do so, a sports massage can be a great way to prepare your body. And of course, whether you or your loved one is a serious athlete or a desk jocky who is able to sqeeze in exercise as often as possible, we all need some hands on healing. With strong hands and a healing touch, Julie aims to break through patterns of tension and immobility in order to create a lasting change in your body. Happy Hollidays and Peace to all — Mi Casa Massage.
