The holiday season is well underway so we asked our Brand teams for their top gifting picks for your friends and loved ones…
Berghaus
Oh, the great outdoors! For the outdoor enthusiasts among us, the Lumley jacket will keep you toasty warm in any weather. Part of the new Berghaus Icons collections, these jackets are the perfect gift.
Fronted by the great Sir Chris Bonington himself, find out more about the Icons collection on Berghaus.com.
Speedo
If you’re looking for gifts for the water babies in your life, look no further than Speedo. Why not try the swim gloves and socks – perfect for wild swimming. Made from 3mm Yamamoto neoprene, both will keep keen swimmers warm in chillier temperatures.
For anyone looking to improve their swimming technique, the Speedo Kickboard is a handy training partner, which also features in the Guardian’s gift guide.
Kickers
Quite simply, it has to be the iconic Kick Hi. Available in nearly every size and a variety of colours, the Kick Hi is the perfect gift for anybody in your life who loves a classic shoe that’s suitable for all occasions. Don’t just take our word for it; it’s also featured in GQ and Marie Claire and is as stylish in its 50th year as it was in its first.
Mitre
One for the football (or soccer) lovers, earlier this year, Mitre teamed up with Subbuteo, the original tabletop football game. Offering a big dose of football nostalgia and boasting retro features, the collaboration resulted in a full-size ball as well as iconic minis. The full-size ball is still at the top of its game, using thermally bonded seams. Each purchase of the full-size ball will come with a mini, tabletop version.
Endura
Whether you’re looking for a gift for the hardcore roadie in your life, the new-years-resolution cyclist or the commuter on two wheels, Endura’s MT500 waterproof Bibpants are a crowd pleaser. Available in men’s and women’s fits, these are sure to keep your loved ones warm and dry, whilst living and breathing the brands Aye Y’Can attitude. If you don’t believe us, check out the feedback from Off Road.
ellesse
If you’re on the hunt for something more fashion forward, ellesse has you covered. The team has recommended their LSR sneaker which is rooted in the brand’s rich history whilst being elevated for the modern wardrobe. Available in a variety of colours, the more classic style is available in black, grey, red and white or, for the more playful among you, try its lilac, green and silver styles.
In celebration of its 65th anniversary, the design offers a fresh take on what it means to wear luxury.
Canterbury of New Zealand
For the British & Irish Lions fans out there, our 2025 Tour jersey is the gift for you. This year, Canterbury has launched the world’s most innovative jersey, combining cutting-edge design with groundbreaking technology whilst still leaning into the legacy and unity of the team. Featuring a built-in NFC tag, the jersey connects fans to the Lions Clubhouse app, offering exclusive access that brings you closer to the action.
