The Snowboarder On Your Gift List Definitely Needs A Custom Trail Sign
So, you have some snowboarders on your holiday shopping list this year. Lucky you! If you're not into fresh tracks, dropping into sweet lines, and shredding the gnar yourself, you might feel a bit stumped in the gift giving department. I'm here to help with all the best gifts your snowboarding friends and family could ever want. I should know, I've been riding basically my whole life and have ride-tested many of the gifts on this list.
I put together the ultimate list of incredible gifts snowboarders will love to receive for the holidays, or really anytime. You don't have to spend big to make an impact with snowboarding gifts this year. There are options (like this clever multitool, sticker set, and mountain rings) under $10 that are so giftable.
There are a few types of gifts you can grab to make snowboarders really grin. They are bound to need some type of gear (jacket, pants, or snowboard). All those days on the slopes can take a toll on outerwear. Souvenirs (like a picture frame or novelty drinking glasses) are also a great way to go, reminding them of epic ski trips, or opt for lift tickets (single day or season passes) for endless future exploring. Finally, you can get super practical and stuff their snow stockings with snacks and toe warmers.
Until someone figures out how to wrap up the perfect powder day with a bow and ship it in two days, these are the best gifts you can give the snowboarders on your list.
