REI Co-op Trailbreak Trekking Poles ($60)
“One reason my husband and I love our winter home in Pátzcuaro, Mexico, is the camaraderie we’ve found in a local hiking group called the Friends of Cerro Blanco. We hike together every Saturday on trails that take us to the forests, flower-filled meadows, extinct volcanoes and Purépecha villages that surround Lake Pátzcuaro. On these hikes, I’m never without my REI Co-op Trailbreak Trekking Poles. The poles collapse and are easy to pack.”

Nautilus Puzzles ($16 for smaller puzzles, up to $180 for 500+ pieces)
“My husband and I discovered Nautilus Puzzles while we’ve been staying home. We love the intricate design and craftsmanship of each wooden piece, and the beautiful artwork on each puzzle makes them so fun and satisfying to put together. Finding the spot for the animal-shaped ‘whimsy pieces’ is like a small victory each time!”

“My KeySmart keychain keeps me organized. I had my keys on a lanyard for a while, but it’s just cumbersome. I tried one of those key hubs where you can easily detach each key, and that was cool but not compact. Finally, I picked up the multi-key KeySmart, and it has been awesome. House key, garage key, parents’ house key and key loop.”
