J&S Shoes owner Jeff Price said Ugg boots seem to top the lists of many young ladies on the mountain, with styles from calf-length boots to clogs flying off the shelves, the most popular being the classic boot in bomber-jacket brown.
Sperry’s Polarfleece rain boot liners convert any rain boots into snow boots and make the perfect stocking stuffer, he said.
Younger kids will enjoy pulling Cushie Pillow Pets or Squishland Mystery Capsules out of their stockings, both of which are big-sellers at Mountain Top Toys, said sales associate Patty Denny.
She said the store is also a spot to find great gag gifts for holiday gift exchanges, such as ugly teeth and Lego watches.
