Green Mountain Gift Picks
Gift Idea #1: Holiday Poinsettia
Poinsettias are one of those holiday gifts that just make people smile. They brighten up a room instantly and bring that cozy Christmas feeling into any home, classroom, or office.
Jen picked holiday poinsettias because they’re extra pretty this time of year. She said, “why wouldn’t you want to give one to someone you love?” And honestly, she isn’t wrong.
You can find these at our Lakewood hardware store right up front in our seasonal display.
Gift Idea #2: LEGO® Lilo and Stitch Set
LEGO sets are the kind of gift that never miss. Kids love them, grown-ups love them, and anyone who’s a fan of Lilo and Stitch will light up when they see this one. It’s fun, creative, and a perfect winter-day activity.
Ken chose this set because his son and daughter-in-law are big LEGO fans. He said it checks all the boxes for a great gift. Whether someone needs a little holiday pick-me-up or is a full-on collector, a LEGO set is always a safe bet.
You can find our LEGO sets in the toy and seasonal gift section.

Gift Idea #1: YETI Rambler Bottle
YETIs are the gifts that keep on giving. Gary chose the YETI Rambler because it makes an awesome stocking stuffer or an everyday go-to gift.
