Garmin’s Instinct is one of its most affordable outdoor watches, but it’s more than capable enough for skiing. In fact, it’s probably the watch they’ve wanted to buy for themselves for a long, long time.

It works great as a house slipper, but the Tasman is beefy enough to be a lodge shoe as well.

These are high-tech, incredibly durable headphones that will let them listen to music without cutting off all they’re hearing. They’re perfect for the slopes.

Hand warmers are good, and rechargeable ones are even better.

This phone harness is good for skiers and clumsies alike. It grips to your phone and connects to your jacket pocket (or wherever you want it) so you don’t drop your phone off a lift. Or into a subway track.

Because fun glasses are better than boring glasses.

This can be for décor or for using at parties or for both. At après bars, these four-person skis with four holes for taking a team shot together are one of the main modes of bonding.

Great bibs are a godsend, and typically more comfortable than a pair of snow pants. This pair from Backcountry is as good as they get.

For those days, weeks, or months they can’t hit the slopes, transport them back to the mountain with this Homesick candle. The smell of cool air hooks them, followed by the smokey-sweet smell of the lodge, and it’s all backed by that winter woodsy cedar, vanilla, patchouli base.

The all important baselayer. It’s got to keep you warm. It’s got to wick away sweat. Smartwool’s 250 weight is plenty to keep you toasty, and the merino wool build means it’s naturally moisture-wicking and odor-reducing. Dare we say, the perfect baselayer.

Oh! And they come in bottoms.

When the Apès Ski look gets a bit fussy, throw in some crazy-looking technical booties. The look instantly pivots from “child of a Swiss banker,” to “explorer at Everest basecamp.” A welcome swerve.

A skier is only as good as their goggles. Sort of. But with these, they’re going to be on their best game. The goggles even come with a replacement lens for cloudy days.

When you think of ski apparel, we’d be willing to bet that something like this comes to mind. It’s good for both on and off the slopes.

Real skiers will tell you that mittens are where it’s at. They will actually keep your hands warm, and ain’t no mittens that’ll keep them warm like Hestra leather ones.

A neck gaiter is essential for the slopes. It keeps your warm on cold days, and it protects your face and neck from the harsh rays on sunny days. Get a gift that does both.

Half of the battle are the socks. Make sure that they have a pair of compression, cushioned ones that are going to keep their toes toasty.
