From beverages and classic gear to decor and tools. With ideas starting at just $30, you're sure to find something for the cabin dweller on your holiday list.

Frost River Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Cribbage Board ($40) These Minnesota-made boards are surprisingly detailed, and they work great to play the game. The rubber feet grip tabletops so if the game gets a little rowdy, you can count on the board to stay in its place, there's even a "skunk" line. Laser engraved in Minnesota on real wood—there's a bracket cut in the back to hang it on the wall, for good reason, these boards are beautiful!
The Original Stormy Kromer® Cap ($48) There's a reason this cap is legendary. The wool blend resists the elements and the 100% cotton flannel lining helps keep you warm all winter.
