What to buy that special geocacher for the holidays
We all know the best gifts are something you wouldn't buy for yourself. You are probably thinking that the best gift would be a new Garmin 60CS GPS or a pair of Tubbs snowshoes. Nope - buy that special person one or several pairs of socks. Thats right folks - socks! I say this because two years ago I picked up a business colleague at the airport and she asked me what was the best thing I got for Xmas. I told her socks.
A really good pair of hiking socks can cost between $15 and $20. You can even buy Gore-Tex socks for as much $40. Who buys these for themselves? Not many. That makes them a good gift. I recommend Smartwool. They wick any sweat away, are warm and also have a cushioned sole. I recommend that you go to Eastern Mountain Sports as the staff there is very helpful, knowledgeable and recommend what meets the needs of the person.

Nothing beats a good pair of socks, I agree!!!
Also agree --and SmartWool Rocks! By the Way, Mountain Equipment Coop in Canada sells a brand called "JB Fields" which are, essentially, Smart Wool. Except they sell for about 9$ CAN a pair.
Great Geocache Blog By the way
