Best For: The Eco-Minded

It's no surprise that the many crunchy granola-eaters of Hampden share their neighborhood with a fair-trade store full of sustainable, do-gooder goodies.

Full of body and heart-warming treats, our favorite is the bathtub tea: just toss the bag in your hot bath and enjoy a cozy soak to melt  away blizzardy blues.

Best For: Real Winter Gear

We thought we should include one solid spot to get good parkas, boots, ski pants and whatever else you need to actually spend some time outside in the snowier weather. Princeton Sports has two locations in Baltimore and Columbia, and has one of the largest selections of ski and snowboard gear in the area. If you're planning on hitting the slopes, shoveling snow or just need a heavier coat for when the temperature drops into the teens, head to Princeton Sports and grab some stuff to bundle up.
