Here are our top picks for outdoor lovers this Christmas…
For the Outdoor Walkers
For those who love a hike in the fresh air, the right pair of walking boots can make all the difference. Keeping your feet dry and comfortable is a necessity, and our collection ensures we have styles for every time of rambler.
We carry top brands like Hoggs of Fife, Cotswold, GRS Footwear and more, so you can pick something that suits their terrain and how hard they’ll wear them.
The Hoggs of Fife Nevis Waterproof Hiking Boot, in navy, is a lightweight, incredibly robust, flexible walking boot which features a waterproof and breathable interlining. The technically advanced cushioning will provide you with comfort and support on the roughest of hikes.
Another great choice is the Cotswold Abbeydale Low Hiker, which is a lightweight and breathable hill and trail walking hiking shoe. A waterproof membrane keeps feet dry, whilst a memory foam foot bed moulds and cushions the feet, keeping adventurous feet comfortable for long journeys and unsteady pathways.
Stocking Fillers
For young outdoor enthusiasts, the Otterdene WK223X Farmyard Friends Kid's Funky Welly Socks are a great pick! These are also available in women’s and men’s sizes, so the whole family can be matching.
Made from real cotton for extra warmth and comfort, these socks are the perfect gift for Christmas and many more special occasions.
Gifting the Muck Boots Muck Boot Welly Bag this Christmas is one of those brilliantly practical choices that feels instantly practical, yet very thoughtful.
It keeps muddy wellies contained (and your car/porch clean), while still looking smart enough to take anywhere. It’s designed for easy carrying with an adjustable shoulder strap and reinforced top handle, plus a large double front opening so boots are simple to get in and out, making it ideal after a wet walk, a day at the yard, or a muddy winter hike.
This Christmas, treat your pup to a Good Boy Real Meat Stocking, they can't be left out of the festive fun!
This little bundle turns Christmas morning into sniffing, tail-wagging excitement, and makes a lovely alternative to wrapping up loose treats. It’s an easy, feel-good gift for dog owners too: grab the stocking, pop it under the tree, and you’ve instantly included the dog in the celebrations.
For the Hot Drinks Lover
For the outdoorsy person who’s always on the move, a Stanley cup is the kind of gift that quietly becomes their everyday favourite, perfect for keeping tea or coffee hot on frosty dog walks, campsite mornings, long drives, or chilly days in the field.
It’s tough, travel-friendly, and made for real life outside: chuck it in a bag, take a few sips between tasks, and suddenly the cold weather feels a lot more manageable.
The Stanley Classic Hot & Cold Insulated Steel Flask With Cup Lid is our best selling bottle.
It is an impressive, leakproof, easy-pour outdoor and travelling companion, keeping hot drinks hot for 45 hours, cold drinks cold for 2 days and iced drinks chilled for 8 days.
Designed to hold an entire pot of coffee, or anything else you love to drink, this flask is made with a stainless steel, double-wall insulated design, an insulated cup lid and a functional handle. It will make any cold, outdoor adventure even more enjoyable.
For The Equestrian
A pair of equestrian thermal riding gloves is a genuinely brilliant winter gift for anyone who rides through the colder months, because warm hands make everything easier, from holding the reins and keeping a steady contact to doing yard jobs without going numb.
The best ones balance cosy insulation with enough grip and flexibility to still feel in control, so they can tack up, ride, and muck out comfortably even on those crisp, early-morning stable runs.
The Hy5 Storm Breaker Black Thermal Gloves feature a long, fully elastic cuff to keep the glove snug to your wrists, the cold wind is effectively kept out. A 40g Thinsulate inner lining retains heat, whilst the grip palm and reinforced rein fingers ensure a secure grip on the reins.
The gloves are enhanced with the addition of touch screen compatible finger tips to keep your hands warm – no matter what!
