LL Bean's 180 Degree Ear Warmers.

My Dad is a pretty good gift-giver. He thinks a bit outside the box and generally pays attention to items one might really want or need.

This Christmas, one of the gifts found under The Pink Mixer's tree were LL Bean's 180 Degrees Ear Warmers. I can honestly tell you I probably would have gone years before picking these ear warmers out for myself simply because I don't think I would've thought about how utterly useful items they could be. The wrap around protection of the fleece keeps your ears warm on the coldest of days (this is especially good if you're a girl who wears earrings) and they fold-up conveniently the minute you remove them from your head, ready to be stashed away in a purse or jacket pocket.

Santa Dad gave me a red pair but they come in a wide variety of colors. And at only $20 a pop, it just might make sense to get yourself more than one pair...or at least pair for each of those little holiday elves running around your house.
