Chris Harris Jr. hosts collection drive for Coats for a Cause | Baby Outdoor Jacket

There are plenty of balmy winter days when that big puffy jacket is overkill. Likewise, there are lots of less-than-zero winter days when you want to keep wearing a jacket indoors or maybe enjoying drinks on a sunny deck. Made from recycled polyester and 700-fill recycled down, this insulating shacket cuts the chill without a lot of bulk. It also makes for an outstanding mid layer.

Maybe for you, it will be some other item, something that you realize just makes your life so much easier that it’s worth shelling out for (with some extras on top of that).

Our pick: Little & Lively Raglan Pullover in "Make Your Own Magic’ in Charcoal Gray, $36, littleandlively.com

You can definitely scoop up all your timeless favorites from major brands at Target, but did you know they also sell exclusive formulas just for Bullseye shoppers?

REI has their own brand of gear, and their Co-op Essentials lightweight jackets come in at less than $100 and less than 9 ounces—see their men’s and women’s options. Their Drypoint GTX jacket is pricier, but newer.

PLAE has been known for their adorable and versatile kids’ sneakers (with interchangeable Velcro tabs), but this season the company is also offering a new line of all-weather boots. The leather and suede is from a manufacturer that is ISO 14001 certified, the upper materials are made from recycled PET (milk jugs), PLAE’s heel cups are made from recycled EVA cork. Even their packaging is eco-friendly, and FSC-approved, employing soy-based ink, and vegetable and water-based laminates. Their boots retail for $79.95, but can handle many types of weather and are built to last. Note, however, that they are not sized for kids with wide feet.

With some of our giant toy retailers no longer in existence, Target has become the natural next step for toy-hungry kids and parents, especially since their selection is so extensive. Consider shopping their website for some of the year’s hottest finds, like the JoJo Siwa Be You Sing Along Boombox with Dual Microphones. JoJo everything has sold out across the board at other stores, but Target manages to keep it in stock.

With online retailer Amazon having an ever-growing reach, Huntley wants to do everything she can to help small businesses.

Reima is a Finnish brand that’s long been popular in Scandinavia and eastern Europe but is now growing in appeal over here, thanks to its original designs and pretty patterns combined with hardy technical credentials. The Aava felt quite lightweight but repelled water really well even in a heavy downpour, and as you might expect, it was also good at blocking out cold Siberian winds. The hood is detachable, and as it is one of the pricier coats on test, it would make sense to use it as an everyday jacket in milder weather. There are loads of styles in different patterns and degrees of warmth to choose from.
