w i n t e r 2 0 1 4 | g o i n g p l a c e s 27 14 Moccasins Once one slides their toot- sies into a pair of soft leather mocs, there's no going back. T he beadwork , all hand done, reflects the various regions and tra- ditions of First Nations peoples across the province. A touch of fur goes a long way to add some luxury to these hard-wearing slippers. Cost: $110 and up.• Where to buy: Cree-Ations, 1346 Main St., 204-219-7428. 16 CAA Gift Membership You know how thankful you are for that CAA membership on days when you need a battery boost. Share the love with a gift member- ship. Nothing beats the famous 24-hour roadside assistance, free battery testing and installation or the travel perks. But an often overlooked benefit is the CAA Rewards program, which offers deals on everything from clothes at e Gap to a free upsize at Kernels. GP Cost: $71.40 and up. • Where to buy: www.caamanitoba.com/membership_gift. 15 Sew Dandee Manitoba Tees and Cards Andee Penner is one crafty gal. Her cheeky silk-screened T-shirts strike a chord with locals. Gift recipients can don one of her shirts and let others know they survived last winter in Winnipeg. Or proudly display two of the province's icons – Métis leader Louis Riel drinking a 7-Eleven Slurpee. Her handmade greeting cards speak the truth in an oh-so-funny way: "Happy Anniversary. Wanna order pizza and watch TV?" Cost: Single cards, $6; T-shirts, $36. • Where to buy: At Silver Lotus, 105 Osborne St., 204-453-5110, or visit www.sewdandee.blogspot.ca for other outlets that carry her items.
