The brand is 5.11 Tactical. As Pam said a outdoor type brand. They sell at a few of the sporting goods stores here. Pants are light weight, sturdy, and lots of pockets. They dry super fast when they get wet. They have women’s styles too but I’ve never tried them.
Thank you. I was thinking that they were a pant length. Like a 3/4 or 7/8th length.

I’ve always wondered why men’s pants come in different inseam lengths but women only have two or three choices or end up hemming everything.

Picked up a pair of fleece lounge pants on clearance for my son. His favor color is red and likes red and black checkered print and that is what these are.

Not exactly for the gift closet but I did get some chocolate bars that were half price. I will use them in some bark that I would like to make and put 2 in a goody bag that I am doing for Mum.

Sophia pointed out some really cute snack containers when we were shopping this weekend. They are designed to hold small crackers, or celery or carrot sticks and they have a separate compartment for dip. Sophia loved Dunkaroos when she was little (a little to-go pack of plain cookies (similar to Animal Crackers) with some white frosting). I'm thinking I'll pick up five of these containers and put them in a gift basket with a cookie jar of small cookies and a tub of white frosting. She can make her own Dunkaroos for each day.

Pamela do you remember the name of the company that makes them? One of my daughters have been looking for containers like that for my grandson lunches. Knowing who makes them might help us locate some online.

There's this cute carrot-shaped one too:

That carrot one is so cute. I think this is a marvelous idea. I am sure that Sophia will love it.

I like the carrot one. I’ve not seen any of those before.
Movies came from TCM for our friends and one for my husband.

DS, DD, DFSIL and I went to a lovely Burger place on Saturday. They do GCs so will order one for DD for Christmas. I am struggling with ideas for them so I think they will like it.
Got a really good quality travel coffee mug, one for DH and I and will put those away in the gift closet.
Doing a shopping trip on Thursday, hope to get a few more things then.

OHH that is a great idea. To be honest I am not sure if he would like it but I could certainly quietly enquire. Thank you.
