COLUMBIA HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
The holiday season is fast approaching and the rush to find the perfect gifts for loved ones is on. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking for a special item for a new arrival, or the ideal gift for an outdoor lover who has all the kit, we’ve got some great ideas in our handy Columbia Holiday Gift Guide:
A warm, padded multi-purpose jacket is an absolute must for active folk when temperatures drop. This stylish and practical option is crafted from a water-resistant outer fabric, a recycled synthetic down filling and also features a thermal-reflective technology. Zippered hand pockets also mean chilly hands have a home, while the smart colourway makes the jacket suitable for city life as well as adventures in the great outdoors.
Sometimes, nothing makes you feel cosier than a fleece jacket, and this Winter Pass Sherpa version delivers that in abundance. Warm and lightweight, this fleece has a super soft blanket-like microfleece lining, zippered hand pockets and comes in a range of camo or check prints.
Keeping your head toasty is crucial to staying warm in the colder seasons, so a stylish hat is a must. This unisex knitted beanie is a great option, especially if you’re looking for an eco-conscious gift, as the outer fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles. An inner fleece lining tops it off, making it a super cosy present for that lucky someone.
For those always on the move, be it on the commute to work or more exciting adventures, trusty luggage is key. Practicality, robustness and comfort are vital when it comes to a good backpack. Luckily, the Unisex Convey 25L Rolltop Daypack has it all: a foam padded back for support, a roll top closure and externally accessible padded sleeve that can fit a 15” laptop. It also has dual water bottle pockets, an external security pocket and a sternum strap complete with rescue whistle.
We all know the importance of hydration, but what about the importance of a great water bottle? Well, this Double-Wall Vacuum Bottle, doesn’t just keep your cold drinks chilled (for an impressive 18 hours), but it also keeps hot liquids steaming for six hours. Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, it’s designed for a lifetime of use and is BPA free. There’s also a handy carabiner attachment point on the drink thru lid.
Shopping for a gift for a little one always seems more fun than shopping for adults. Let us introduce you then to the gorgeously named Snuggly Bunny Baby Bunting. As well as being water and wind resistant, this cute outfit has cushiony soft down filling and a micro fleece lined hood and arms. Suitable for snow sports as well as day-to-day life, the baby bunting has fold-over hands and feet and also reflective detailing.
Know someone who loves being outdoors? Of course, you do. You’re here aren’t you? Well, we’d be surprised if your nature lover didn’t rate this warm flannel shirt. A true staple, the plaid shirt is crafted from cotton with a comfort stretch, a drop tail hem (no chilly backs here, thank you) and a button closure chest pocket. The only issue is choosing which colour check to go for.
Warning: once you feel the cosiness and velvety softness of this jacket, you might want one for yourself. Our bestselling Fire Side Fleece Jacket is made from fluffy high-pile fleece inside and out, making anyone who wears it feel exquisitely warm and comfortable. A high collar adds to the snugness and gives a great place to hide when the wind picks up.

For those who take their style as seriously as they do their love of the outdoors, this Puffect jacket is a winner: it’s water-resistant, boasts Thermarator™ insulation and has a chic design to boot. As well as looking good, it’s hugely practical for chilly hikes and snowy walks, with its chin guard and zippered pockets.
Often it can be hard to get toddlers into their clothing, but somehow, we don’t think that will be a problem with this fun woodland inspired outfit. Cute animal ears on the hood and a super soft Sherpa pile fleece make for a cute and warm combo. Suitable for running around the house or outdoors in chilly weather, you might just struggle to get it off them for a clean.
