Outdoor Research makes fleece look good.

The $50–$100 range is where gifting really starts to get fun—you can easily nab a high-quality Filson flannel, a beautiful piece of jewelry, or even a whole home bar set. 

You can also accidentally wind up spending way more than that. Make that budget feel limitless with these local picks.
