​IDEA: wrap up the actual magazine and have it under the tree!  If you don't have a magazine, come by our local shop and grab one, or call/text/e-mail and we'll get one to you.

2. A gift certificate to Brickyard Meats in Cullman. Any lake lover is sure to enjoy selecting the perfect piece of meat to throw on the grill lakeside! AND, they have prepared gift baskets as well!

HINT: perfect stocking stuffer!

3. A basket of beverages from a local package store like Cornerstone Beverage or a local wine shop, depending on your location! One of the most popular Dirty Santa gifts seen in recent times was a Bloody Mary Basket complete with all the fixings!

7. Stop in any local lakeside pharmacy for the perfect stocking stuffers and gift selection. Find everything from Smith Lake t-shirts and hats, to earrings and Christmas candy.  Grab it all while you're getting  your prescriptions filled. 

8. Seibel's Cottage located in Birmingham's downtown Homewood is a popular destination for lake lovers, complete with decorating services, home goods and furniture!
