It’s hard to believe that 2017 is almost a wrap, it doesn’t seem like long enough ago that we were rounding up Christmas gift ideas. With Summer over and skate park visits a must we all have a little more time on our hands, it’s a good time to start aiming relatives at relevant sources for your Christmas presents. The image above is an overview of some classic Christmas present ideas, as always we have a wealth of stuff in all categories. We are all agreed here that the best present we have ever received is a skateboard and if you are buying someone the best gift of all time whether they are a first timer or keen to rediscover skateboardings joys then click HERE. Our range of completes has all needs covered whoever the board is for. Most of you reading this now are regular customers, we thought we could make this post a place you can send someone you love looking to buy you a gift full of fail safe items and good ideas. We will back these up with some info and hopefully you will get something you want. For someone who skates already you really can’t go wrong with a new board…
This is a photo of the board wall in our East London Shop. Our shops are always fully stocked and we have over 300 boards available online HERE. All you need to know when buying someone a board is what width they prefer because this differs for everyone. You can search by width online or aim one of our staff at the stack of boards in either of our shops. For most of us a new board would be our first choice of skateboarding gift. Another great gift which makes rolling a treat would be some new wheels…
This selection is just a drop in the ocean but gives you a good idea of the range of choices available. We always have a wide array of options. Our most purchased Christmas gift would probably be Spitfire Wheels. They are our most popular wheel for good reason, they are the best out there and offer a huge variety of sizes, hardnesses and shapes. All you need to know really is what size you are looking for and you can narrow it down from there. Everybody gets stoked on new wheels! See every set of wheels we stock HERE. Another awesome gift would be bearings, these are what keep us rolling and other than trucks they will out last every other skateboard component. These are a great stocking filler and they range from £8 to £139.99! These can be a real treat, here are some from our careful selection…
New bearings can totally change the game, a gift that none of us would turn our noses up at. See every set of bearings we stock HERE. We also sell many different Trucks but for these you would need to know what brand, width and height you need. You can find out more info about trucks HERE. We have geared this guide towards hardware, the main reason for this is that every gift would be welcomed without getting into specifics. If you have any more questions about buying skateboard components many can be answered in our Skateboard Buyers Guide. Obviously we also have a huge range of clothing and footwear . We can also recommend all sorts of stocking fillers. Wax is something we all use but rarely buy so it wouldn’t go to waste. We have a huge range of Books & Magazines, tons of Stickers and a constantly updated New Arrivals. If all of this is overwhelming and you want a simpler route another great gift idea could be Vouchers…
This means that all those difficult decisions can be side stepped and you can give the gift of shopping at one of our shops. We hope this has been of some help for those of you investigating or is a welcome page that you will aim your loved ones at. Happy Shopping!
