2. Snowshoes

Hibernation's for the birds. Or bears, rather. That's why you should get some snowshoes! Getting out on a pair of snowshoes with your significant other is a great way to spend a day exploring in the woods. Bring a thermos of hot cocoa too and really enjoy the winter wonderland. There's nothing to it, either, just strap 'em on and walk.

Nothing says Valentine's Day like getting your swerve on. Avex's Claret insulated wine glasses have everything you need to make that romantic getaway into the wilderness a real classy excursion. Not only does the insulated design keep your reds and whites the perfect temperature regardless of the weather, the thin rim and contoured shape are specially designed to enhance both your wine's aroma and your drinking experience.
