With the snow season soon upon us and Christmas not too far behind, you may be wondering where to start for the elusive gift for your skiing-mad friend or family member. So, Balmy Fox has been gliding around the internet to find out what’s hot on the skiing front with some super skiing-inspired ideas that may just make you the coolest gift giver! – Best gifts for skiers!
When you think of skiing, the words adventure and adrenaline go hand in hand, so it goes without saying they’ll want to capture all the action. So, for a super cute Go-Pro alternative, look no further than the Insta360 Go 2. This tiny action camera is just thumb size and can be mounted almost anywhere. It’s packed with cool features, including built-in tripod legs, Hyperlapse with timeshift mode and an auto-editing element to create a montage of favourite clips to music. And, of course, it delivers phenomenally crisp 1440p footage! Or, for something a little more wallet-friendly, the Toko Express Pocket Wax. It may sound like a bore, but all serious skiers will thank you as it naturally enhances the ski’s sliding abilities on the snow. Pocket-size and PFC-free, it makes a great little Christmas tree present!
And one for adults; how about the Hydro Flask Wine Bottle? Yes, you can be sensible and fill it with water. Still, its 739ml capacity and TempShield double-wall vacuum insulation mean it’ll take a whole bottle of their favourite wine and keep it at just the right temperature—just in case they find themselves lost somewhere and in a wilderness hut!
Nothing says you care like some super toasty base layers, and the Protest Timp Thermo Top delivers warmth with flexibility, so it doesn’t impede the action. And it’s eco-friendly too, made with REPREVE, a fabric using recycled plastics. Or, for women, how about the Bella Merino Air-Con? Available in eight colour designs, it uses sustainable merino, offers a slim fit, and is designed to keep you snug and warm on the slopes!
You can generally expect speed, sunshine and cold fresh air when you’re skiing. Combine these with the enhanced UV sunlight reflecting off the snow, and it could spell a disaster for delicate exposed skin. It’s therefore super important to look after skin outdoors, so whether it’s a birthday, Christmas or Valentine’s, why not say you care with an environmentally friendly skincare range specially created for active sports people like skiers? Here at Balmy Fox, we developed our skincare to repair and hydrate dry and cracked skin and provide much-needed skin protection while pursuing sports, all using ethically sourced, natural ingredients.
For example, our intensive Hand & Foot Repair Balm is brimming with natural essential oils, butters and waxes, including Tea Tree for its natural antiseptic; all combined to soothe, hydrate and repair delicate skin.
Or our high-factor water-resistant suncream for that all-important sun protection against UV rays not only coming from the sun but bouncing off the snow too! And lastly, at the end of a long day skiing, what could possibly be dreamier than a soothing muscle rub for those sore, tired muscles?
