First up…
£258 UYN Sports Team GB Nayton Baselayer Set
Upgrade your favourite skier’s baselayer game this season with this Team GB top and pants set from UYN. Made from a bio-fibre derived from castor beans, these high-tech threads are sported by 10 national ski teams around the globe.

£199 Carv Digital Ski Coach
Ideal for the ski geek in your life, this incredible bit of tech coaches you while you ski. The latest version of Carv simply clips onto each boot, instead of inserting like an insole. Skiers receive coaching and tips as they ski, with 6-axis Motion AI and movement data sent to their phone, helping them improve on all terrain. Read about what Ad Manager Rich thought here!
£150 Snowsport England Skilfull Skiing Day Course
A great opportunity for skiers who want to improve their own skiing and learn about different pathways within the sport. Why not gift a day of skiing with like-minded people to help develop ski skills in a fun and social environment? Participants will build confidence, develop performance and learn about what they can do next with their skiing. Find out more here (click on ‘upcoming events’).
£125 No Normal Coffee Starter Kit
Made from 100% Fairtrade Arabica beans, this ingenious coffee paste is the perfect gift for skiers wasting no time to get to first lifts. Take a tube up the mountain, dissolve into hot or cold water, and you’ve got a delicious coffee on the go. You can even use it as a spread for a caffeine boost to ensure you make it to last lifts of the day. Also, who doesn’t love a new flask and set of mugs? The kit comes with four No Normal Coffee tubes, one Thermos flask and two No Normal Coffee cups.
£87 Mountain Flow Wax Kit
Set up an eco-minded skier for the season with this complete wax kit. With two temperature-specific, plant-based, biodegradable waxes, a thick base-plated iron, a brass wax brush and a sturdy scraper, this kit has everything a skier needs to stay sliding this winter.
£46 Stance Windy Peaks Socks & Icon 2 Beanie
A classic Christmas gift – but better. A cosy pair of merino wool socks and a stylish beanie; the perfect gift for a keen skier who wants to stay warm and on-trend this winter. We’re big fans of Stance socks – built with Freshtek technology to keep those toes warm and dry, and Infiknit reinforcements, they’ll last for many seasons to come.
£39 Powderhound Christmas in the Snow Double Mug Gift Set
After a day on the slopes there’s nothing quite like a hot cup of tea (and cake, lots of cake). We’re loving these adorable ski mugs from Powderhound, made with fine bone china and colourfully decorated with skiers and Christmas trees. The perfect companion for that blissful “ahhh” moment once you’ve kicked off your ski boots.
£28 Saxx Volt Underwear
Who doesn’t secretly love new underwear at Christmas?! These breathable, performance pants are made from pin-dot mesh and feature Saxx’s signature BallPark Pouch for maximum comfort and chafe-free support for all you boxer-wearing skiers! A must-have this Christmas.
£25 Fall Line Skiing Magazine 1 Year Subscription
The gift that keeps on giving! If someone you know isn’t already subscribed to (probably) the best magazine in the world, give them the gift of a one-year subscription to Fall Line Skiing Magazine. They’ll get all five issues delivered direct to their door – plus a free gift – with each mag full of inspiring ski content. Check out our Christmas Subscription package here!
£13 Customised Boot Bib
Know a skier who’s always complaining about getting their boots on and off? Make their life a breeze with a personalised Boot Bib – yes, they really work! (Editor Nicola is one of Boot Bib’s biggest fans – read her review in FL195, which you can buy here). Protecting ski boots and helping skiers slide smoothly into their boot for a fuss-free morning, what more could we ask for at Christmas?
£12.99 Soggle from Wipeout
Struggling to think of a gift for that skier who has everything? With a bunch of designs to choose from, these goggle protectors from Soggle will be their new best friend. Made from soft microfibre, these pull-on covers double up as lens cloths. Keep any pair of goggles looking fresh and free from scratches, so skiers can spend more time looking for that next turn instead of squinting through a scratched lens.
£8 Black Diamond Ski Strap
Tired of trying to juggle your (and your kids’!) skis and poles on the way to the lifts? Black Diamond have got you covered. This extra-long ski strap is an incredibly versatile piece of gear with heaps of uses beyond strapping skis together. Most of the Fall Line team ski with one…
So, what are you waiting for? Be the best skiing-gift-giver this year and treat someone you know to one (or a few) of these epic gifts this Christmas.
