WEARABLES & ACCESSORIES For a militant vegan and card-carrying member of PETA, your sister sure likes wearing a lot of animals. No, not fur — faux. From zebra stripes to fake snake, she’ll don it proudly.

Add a touch of sophistication to her menagerie with a cashmere-and-silk CHAN LUU SCARF with leopard-like black spots on gray. $215 at Well Heeled in Stowe.

You and your cousin are politically polarized, and the recent election didn’t help. But if there’s one thing you both agree on, it’s that the Green Mountain State is already pretty great. That’s why a KEEP VERMONT WEIRD CAP is both a perfect gift and a peace offering. Plus, the mesh top will help him keep a cool head. $24 at Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury Center and other locations.

Your grandma prides herself on being as tech-savvy as a millennial — she’s all about posting pics of her garden produce on Instagram.

But when she’s digging in the dirt, sometimes her iPhone takes a tumble. Help her protect it with a bulky OTTERBOX DEFENDER CASE that says “tough and feminine” — because, yup, it’s bubble-gum pink. $49.99 at Small Dog Electronics in South Burlington.

THE YULE HAUL: 2016 SEVEN DAYS GIFT GUIDE

Your preggers girlfriend has been running around town preparing for her firstborn. Make sure that she, and the baby, stay safe and stylish in a pair of SOREL BOOTIES with stellar treads. With their low heel, waterproof leather and minimalist lines, she’ll rock them long after kiddo comes. $170 at Dear Lucy in Burlington.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Your designer pal drinks Italian liqueurs, has the full Adobe Creative Suite and owns a lot of air plants. Clearly, she also needs a BRASS MÉTRE BAND RING — handmade from a vintage European folding meter stick. It’s unique, sophisticated and smart, just like her. $78 at Rackk + Ruin in Burlington.

Baby, it’s cold outside. At least it’s going to be, and nothing feels better on a chilly night than a CASHMERE SWEATER. Treat your ladylove to a V-neck option by Repeat. It’s a splurge, but she’ll cherish it — and, hopefully, you — for years to come. $278 at Ecco in Burlington.

food & drink

Your little brother loves all things bacon, but you recently caught him microwaving that flimsy precooked stuff to get his fix in a pinch.

Help him step up to the bacon plate with some serious hardware: the HIC CAST-IRON BACON PRESS. $12.99 at As the Crow Flies in St. Albans and other kitchen stores.

Your sister is a Type A dotcom executive who lives on takeout and needs to calm the heck down. Encourage her to try some Asian cooking at home using low-tech equipment. She can pound away stress, and fragrant spices, using a MORTAR AND PESTLE. And won’t this high achiever be proud to serve the family Chinese buns she cooked in a BAMBOO STEAMER? $16 to $22 at Thai Phat in Burlington.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Your college-age brother slurped through his ramen stash during midterm exams. Expand his culinary horizons with a variety of INSTANT NOODLES from Nepal, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. 50 cents to $1.99 each at Central Market: Taste of Asia in Burlington.

Your best friend insists she only polished off that entire bottle of Hill Farmstead because she didn’t want it to go flat. Show her the light, and the way to a healthier liver, with the VACU VIN WINE SAVER (good for beer, too!). It’s so much more than a cork. $12.49 at Kiss the Cook in Burlington and other kitchen stores.

THE YULE HAUL: 2016 SEVEN DAYS GIFT GUIDE

At the age of 3, your granddaughter discovered her love of pickles and announced she was going to be a “peed-trician” when she grows up. Now 7, she hasn’t wavered on either but is better at pronunciation. Up her sour game with a jar of LYMAN’S COUNTRY STYLE PICKLED FIDDLEHEADS. Bonus: It looks like a medical specimen jar of … something. $6.75 at Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury Center and other locations.

Your father-in-law is a wine enthusiast. You overheard that his dealer couldn’t supply the coveted 2013 OPUS ONE CABERNET SAUVIGNON. As luck would have it, you discovered the only place in Vermont that stocks this highly sought-after vintage.

It’s pricey, but the props you’ll earn are worth it. $270 at the Waitsfield Wine Shop.

You want to get your kid’s teacher a fun holiday gift but don’t have a clue where she stands religion-wise.

Also, better not to go there.

DUG NAP’S “HAPPY EVERYTHING” PRINT covers all the bases and lets you remain festively neutral. $19 at the Warren Store and other locations.

Send a Piece of Vermont Anywhere!

Shop from our NEW Gift Basket & Crate Catalog, our in-store pre-made options, or design your own.

Your “nasty woman” cousin and her gal pals are facing four years of hardcore stitch-and-bitch sessions.

Thing is, she needs some help with the crafty part. Set her up with a KNITTING KIT and a CERAMIC KNITTING BOWL. $32.50 and $32, respectively, at Yarn & Yoga in Bristol. Next door, find a set of REPURPOSED-WOOD KNITTING NEEDLES. $14.99 at the Prescott Galleries at Verde Mountain.

GREAT GIFTS!

Your stockbroker uncle in the city can’t get enough of Vermont — he loves to ski, cycle and leaf-peep in the Green Mountains. You want to give him a unique memento that doesn’t involve shipping maple syrup. Burlington artist Kevin Ruelle makes convincingly FAUX-VINTAGE VERMONT TRAVEL POSTERS that celebrate the great outdoors. Put one in an old frame, and he’ll never know the difference. $49 at ruellefineart.com and local artisan shops.

Let’s face it: Your cousin is vain.

And foolish. She refuses to cover up her stylish outfits with a practical down coat. She’s a perfect candidate for a handful of miniature FROZEN CHARLOTTE DOLLS. Just be sure to include a note that tells the story of the silly girl who froze to death on a sleigh ride to the ball because she wouldn’t cover up her pretty dress. $8.50 each at Vintage Inspired Lifestyle Marketplace in Burlington.

kids Your cousin’s 2-year-old is already Daddy’s little girl: She can milk a goat, knows the difference between a whitetail and mule deer, and will probably drive a Bobcat front loader before she’s out of third grade. Her mom, on the other hand, is a pretty-in-pink type who hunts for closeout deals at Lord & Taylor. Your compromise holiday gift: PINK CARHARTT OVERALLS, toddler size. $29 at Farm-Way in Bradford and other locations.

You might not know that there are must-haves in the world of baby-animal-themed entertainment — but your parent friends probably do.

Released this fall, SWEET PEA AND FRIENDS: BRAVE LITTLE FINN is the true story of an adorable undersheep. The book’s authors are Jennifer and John Churchman, farmers who tend to their flock on Moonrise Farm in Essex. $17.99 at local bookshops.

You’re pretty sure your grandson is going to be an Olympic athlete, even if he is still in preschool.

Get him started on learning the slopes, as well as the ropes, with the SKITOTS PROGRAM for children ages 3 to 5 (with accompanying parent). $195 for four lessons at Cochran’s Ski Area in Richmond.

Babies have hard days just like the rest of us. But since your little goddaughter can’t go near a cocktail for another 20 years, get her an OH LITTLE RABBITT ONESIE with a cute illustration of a beverage and corresponding convivial slogan, “Cheers!” It’s 100 percent organic cotton, too. $19 at the Green Life in Burlington.

THE YULE HAUL: 2016 SEVEN DAYS GIFT GUIDE

Your 10-year-old niece has graduated from Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing to Superfudge. But her FitBit-obsessed friends, paleo parents and sugar-free school have kept her from even tasting the buttery confection. Subvert those agendas with the new LAVA FLOW, or GOOD OL’ PISTACHIO FUDGE. $9.95 per pound at the Shelburne Country Store.

beauty & body Your sister desperately needs to get stoned. Help her chillax after the hectic holiday season with a HOT STONE MASSAGE. Yep, placing water-heated flat rocks along the spine eases tight muscles and promotes circulation, enabling a massage therapist to work more deeply.

Actually, who doesn’t need this? In the $100 range at day spas around Vermont.

Your new roommate is working out pretty great so far — for a Craigslist find. Except for one thing: She snores like a rusty chain saw, and your apartment has thin walls. Get her a jar of MARJORAM AROMATHERAPY

by Aroma Sedona, which is purported to cure nasty nocturnal nasal noise.

It’s so effective that the store owners offer a money-back guarantee and claim they’ve never had a return. $19.95 small or $29.95 large at Splash Naturals in Montpelier.

Your teenage nephew walks like a hipster, talks like a hipster — and now he can smell like one, too.

WHISKEY RIVER SOAP FOR HIPSTERS will shroud him in the smug aroma of bacon, coffee and craft beer.

Are those things still cool? $10 at the Warren Store and other locations.

(Also see soaps for other peeps who need to come clean.)

Your husband has put up with your crazy clan for 15 years now, traipsing to tipsy Christmas and New Year’s parties, being a stand-up man at your brother’s bachelor parties in Las Vegas, and supporting your sister’s charity rides. Give him a turn in the tub with “INSANITY IS HEREDITARY” BATH SALTS. $9.95 at A Little Something in Shelburne.

THE YULE HAUL: 2016 SEVEN DAYS GIFT GUIDE

Tattoo you! After all you’ve been through in 2016, raise your forearm — in solidary or defiance — with some FRESH INK. A peace sign, perhaps?

Skull and crossbones?

Or maybe a scripted message like this one from Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Rates vary with color and size at tattoo salons around Vermont.

Since smashing his guitar against the wall is not an option, go high: Give him a STRUMSTICK, the world’s easiest stringed instrument to play. $189 and up at Recycled Reading of Vermont in Bristol.

Your dad has seen The Godfather so many times that he can practically recite it from memory. So why not put him to the test? Rent him a MOVIE THEATER for a private screening party with 50 of his closest friends. $150 deposit at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier.

Your aunt wants to stay fit in her retirement, but the treadmill bores her to tears. You know she’s glued to the figure skating events every Winter Olympics, so why not help her glide her way to cardiovascular health?

A SKATE-RINK PUNCH CARD gives her 10 sessions. Before long she’ll be trying a camel spin. $40 at C. Douglas Cairns Recreation Arena in South Burlington.

Your girlfriend is a bit of a thrill seeker. You’ve already gone spelunking in secret caves in Addison County. You’ve jumped off cliffs at Bartlett Falls and gone scuba diving in Lake Champlain.

There’s nowhere to go but up. Like, on a GLIDER RIDE a mile high in the sky. $209 at Sugarbush Soaring in Warren.

THE YULE HAUL: 2016 SEVEN DAYS GIFT GUIDE

Your mom is funny. No, that’s not a “your mom” joke. Seriously, she’s hilarious. But her material could stand some refining, and she could use some encouragement to truly realize her comedic potential. Enroll her in an intro STANDUP COMEDY CLASS, CLASS, where she’ll learn to “think like a comedian.”

By the end of the six weeks, she’ll have a tight, five-minute set, which she’ll perform with her fellow grads before a live audience. $175 at Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington.

Every time your boyfriend watches “Game of Thrones,” he longs to feel the wind in his hair as he rides horseback across the Dothraki Sea. Except he’s also a little bit scared of horses. Treat him to a TRAIL RIDE on a petite equine perfectly sized for your skittish man. $60 and up at the Icelandic Horse Farm in Fayston.

If there’s an oyster happy hour within 100 miles, your boss will find it. Over icy platters of shellfish, he’ll grill the bartender about whether the mollusk du jour was farmed or wild-caught and the state of the oyster industry. Indulge his obsession with Vermont author Rowan Jacobsen’s THE ESSENTIAL OYSTER: A SALTY APPRECIATION OF TASTE AND TEMPTATION — a follow-up to his 2008 award-winning index, A Geography of Oysters. $35 at local bookshops.

During the holidays every year, you stop by your hometown library to visit the woman who patiently guided you from Harriet the Spy to War and Peace. Show your appreciation for her influence by gifting her this gem: THE BAD-ASS LIBRARIANS OF TIMBUKTU — AND THEIR RACE TO SAVE THE WORLD’S MOST PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPTS,, by Joshua Hammer. $26 at local bookshops.

You’ve always liked adding a little edge to the office Yankee swap. How about WICKED PLANTS: THE WEED THAT KILLED LINCOLN’S MOTHER AND OTHER BOTANICAL ATROCITIES? Offering this field guide to deadly herbs also hints that you know what to do to the next person who microwaves leftover fish. $18.95 at Tempest Books in Waitsfield and other locations.

Can you say coq au vin? Prices vary.

The election is over and now we all have to get along, right? Or at least do our bit for democracy.
