The Best Gifts for Skiers in 2026: Ideas They Will Actually Use

Skiers are surprisingly easy to buy for. They talk about snow all year, they always need one more layer and they never say no to something that makes their ski crew laugh. Below are the best gifts for skiers we know, sorted by budget, with a few ideas for snowboarders too. Everything on this list is something we have given or received ourselves.

Under 45 euros: the gift they will wear on every trip

A ski T-shirt with a print that says what they are thinking is the safest bet on this list. Our ski T-shirts are 100% cotton, unisex and true to size, so you can order the size they normally wear. The most gifted designs:

• Don't Need Therapy: the bestseller, for the one who plans the trips.
• Born to Ski Forced to Work: for the colleague who books holiday in September.
• Après Ski Instructor: for the one who skis for the bar.
• I'm Not Lazy I Just Want to Ski: for the teenager, or the adult who behaves like one.

Under 65 euros: the hoodie they will live in

If you want a gift that gets used every single day of the trip, give a hoodie. Ski hoodies are worn on the chairlift, at après, in the chalet and on the drive home. Ours are a soft brushed cotton blend fleece with a double-lined hood and a kangaroo pocket. Après Ski Instructor and Powder Club are the two we gift most. See all ski hoodies.

For the snowboarder in the group

Snowboarders get left out of most ski gift guides, so we made designs for them: Don't Need Therapy Snowboard is the rider's version of our classic and Powder Junkie is for the one who sets the alarm for first tracks. Browse the full snowboard collection.

For couples and best friends

Matching pieces are a thing on the mountain. First Lift is our couples' favourite, and a matching Après Ski Club hoodie for the whole crew makes the best group photo of the trip.

Small gifts every skier forgets to buy

Not everything has to be clothing. These are the things skiers always forget and are always grateful for:

• A good pair of ski socks (merino, not cotton).
• SPF 50 lip balm and a small sunscreen for the jacket pocket.
• Hand warmers for the first lift of the day.
• A neck warmer for the wind on the chairlift.
• A ski boot bag with a shoulder strap, because carrying boots by the buckles is a rite of passage nobody enjoys.

How to get the size right

Our fit is unisex and true to size. Order the size the person normally wears in T-shirts; for a hoodie they might like to size up for the oversized après look. If it is not right, every order can be returned within 14 days of delivery, unworn and unwashed. Full details in the size guide.

When to order for Christmas or a ski trip

Every piece is printed once you order it. Printing takes 1 to 2 working days, delivery 4 to 10 working days, worldwide and free. For Christmas we recommend ordering by early December; for a ski trip, at least two weeks before departure. Ready to choose? Start at our gifts for skiers collection.
