Who said cold?
1.- SOMETHING PRACTICAL: A MERINO WOOL GARMENT
If what you want is to look good, look for a practical gift for that skier or snowboarder brother in law or brother . The jackets that they buy, but with some undergarment from the famous merino wool you are right for sure. If you don't know her yet, she's a wool class with great insulating power, no static charge, clean and odorless , so you don't have to wash it as often (important fact for athletes). No need to go crazy: exist shirts, pants, socks... merino wool, and some with very original designs. From around €18 in large stores such as Decathlon or in specialty stores like Daktak.
The funniest socks (and warm!)
2.- SOMETHING TO KEEP HEAT: A THERMAL CUP
But this time, you are going to buy one of THE GOOD . Our recommendation is Stanley thermo mug , with 0.47 liters capacity. It is virtually impossible to spill (but really) and can reach keep warm for about four hours. Yes, four hours, not fifteen minutes of nothing. In addition, it includes a clip on the handle to hang it from your backpack or where you need. Thus, the liquid stays hot and the backpack dry. I invent. In Adventuremania it costs about 28€ and on Amazon, about €50.
An unbeatable cup!
3.- SOMETHING THAT BRINGS OUT YOUR CHILD SIDE: A SNOWBALL GUN
It is true. Not only will your snow geek cousin like this, but your nephews, your sister, and yourself, What will you do like when you were little and you will want to take the gift you bought for someone else home. The snowball gun Arctic-force SnowBall Blaster allows throws up to 25 meters away , and its charger can collect up to three balls. You have it on e-bay in various models, from €18 and also on Amazon. Fun, original and at a good price, winning combination.
For the perfect snow fight.
4.- SOMETHING FOR YOUR GEEK-TECHY SIDE: SNOW GOGGLES WITH GPS
THE gps has become a must among mountain athletes (and reasons are not lacking). With these glasses, the geekiness of your gift can reach the extreme, since the contraption indicates the speed, the altitude, the distance, the temperature... Then, with a USB, all the data of the journey can be downloaded to the computer. Namely, on New Year's Eve or at Reye's dinner yes, when the aforementioned exhausts you explaining all this data, you may regret the gift (or not) . Here, the budget goes up, but what is not done for a brother-in-law?
It will be the envy: glasses with GPS.
5.- SOMETHING USEFUL ON DOWNHILLS: SNOW GOGGLES WITH VIDEO CAMERA
If the Gro-Pro camera poisons the dreams of athletes to record their exploits , tired of having tried it with conventional cameras and that one or the other has ended up on the ground, These snow goggles solve the matter with a two in one: have a built-in high resolution camera to record your descents most amazing (and the least, too), while protecting you from the blizzard. At Curiosité, they cost around €150.
To record descents has been said.
6.- SOMETHING EVERYONE ENVIES: THE FIRST 'FREESTYLE' SLIDE
a sleigh Oh. Children's fantasy where they exist. With Zipfy, the gifted (in addition to loving you forever) will be able to enjoy the snow in a beautiful way and in a new way: the sled is advertised as safer and easier to handle , thanks to a lever that guarantees its stability and offers greater control in turns. The idea is that the feet always go first and you can stop it or control the speed more easily. Y pay attention to the price: from 4 0€ on Amazon and eBay. Yes, you are going to want one for yourself too.
7.- SOMETHING ORIGINAL AS WELL AS USEFUL: A SLEEPING BAG WITH FEET AND HANDS
A sleeping bag is a wardrobe essential, a basic for the winter adventurer. Because yes, some sleep in the mountain, at campsites, forests, deserts, lakes ...and they need a good sack, that is also comfortable and gives them movement , so as not to feel that they are going to die at any moment . Our proposal is this sack with arms and legs , from the Chilean brand Selk'bag , which provides the same heat as one to use, although with the comfort of get up, walk and whatever happens. You have it at Curiosité for €99 and at eBay.
You'll look like a teletubbie, but 'I'm horny...'
8.- SOMETHING TO REMEMBER: AN IGLOO BUILDING EXPERIENCE
The plan is perfect: Andorra. Snow. And in addition to the typical activities, you can add a morning of learning to build a authentic igloo and understand how eskimos live . The organizers explain that "it can be either a block igloo or a compaction igloo, depending on how much snow there is at that time, and when you finish, you can get inside it." It is organized by Emocionday.com, it costs 35€ and, in addition to his brother-in-law, he is a perfect plan with the nephews.
What if it stayed like this one?
