SunnySports_logo christmasIt’s easy to let your focus drift to bigger and better gifts during the holiday season, but all too often we forget that sometimes it’s the little things in life that matter the most. With the economy still in the initial stages of recovery, it can be stressful both mentally and financially to make room for gift buying when trying to balance a budget. That’s why we here at SunnyScope encourage you to not pass by the smaller gifts that may cost a little less, as they can still have a big impact when it comes to their usefulness in the outdoors. Here are just a few little gifts we’re sure will go over big this holiday season.

 

yaktrax proYaktrax Pro – $20.95 – $24.95

The rate of personal injury always increases in the winter, primarily due to unstable surfaces created by ice, snow, and slush. If you put chains on your tires to improve your traction in the winter, why not apply the same thinking to your shoes? The Yaktrax Pro footwear accessory is just the thing for people who live in areas that see significant amounts of winter precipitation. Available in four sizes, these traction devices simply slip over any pair of running or daily wear shoes (sorry, no high heels, ladies) for better grip no matter what kind of surface you’re crossing on foot. Constructed from heavy duty natural rubber covered in abrasion-resistant steel coils, the Yaktrax Pro traction devices are viable in temperatures as low as -41F, so don’t risk another winter accident — get yours now!
