Two Random Recs Needed

Can anyone recommend a good boot for winter and a reasonable place to purchase an artificial Christmas tree?

 I need a boot to help me trudge through a good winter snow with our new pup.

We are looking for at least a 7 ft tree that is full.

TIA!

Re: Two Random Recs Needed

  • I just got new Uggs that are waterproof and I adore them.  They are called "snow peak" - they are a little pricey but I think worth every penny.

    As for the Xmas tree - I would go with Target.  We got ours there and it was very reasonably priced.

  • I bought new winter boots at The North Face.  I haven't needed to wear them yet, but they seem like a great buy.  A bit pricey, but it's worth it for a good, long lasting boot, that actually looks pretty cute.

     Sorry, can't help with the tree.  We always go with a live one from Home Depot.

  • I bought these last winter from Erewhon and while they're not as cute as Uggs (which I initially wanted), practically, these work great. I can easily slip them on and stuff my pants/jeans into them, and the top is a drawstring. They're insulated pretty well too. They say they're "kids" boots, but I tried on their 7 and they fit perfectly (I range from 6 1/2 - 7 1/2).

    As for an artificial tree, I would just say check store ads and/or visit stores to check quality.

    GL!

  • For the tree, someone gave me a mini fake tree from Target- it's great and I pull it out every year as an extra decoration. So ditto on that rec. For boots, North Face gear is always great but I don't know much about their boots. I actually got a fairly basic pair fr/ LL Bean last year and they've been great. Good traction in the snow and very durable.

  • Thanks ladies!  I didn't think about LLBean and North Face at first. You're the best!
