NOTE’s Christmas Gift Guide

Discussions about Quality Street shrinkflation, ungodly amounts of gravy, multiple viewings of Scrooged and arguments over the monopoly board… Christmas (and everything that comes with it) is just around the corner. And while a last-minute dash to the local petrol station on Christmas morning sounds like a hoot for any thrill seeker or sadist out there – sometimes a little preparation goes a long way in preventing the customary xmas gifting panic.

That’s why we present you with our Christmas Gift Guide.

Let’s be honest – a Lynx giftbox, novelty socks, sports direct mugs and Temu tat probably aren’t topping anyone’s wishlist this festive season. So, whether you’re shopping for your sister, your dad, your best mate, your partner, or just bagging a well-earned present for number one, we’ve put together a collection of perfect picks to help you conquer the gift-giving game.

NOTE Clothing and Hardware

Ok we may be biased but NOTE Shop stuff is some of the finest garb about and for the gift giving season you can’t go wrong with some NOTE ephemera.

NOTE fingerboards, Studio wax, NOTE X Spitfires, Bee Back tees, Peace tees, hell… even NOTE socks.

Nothing says “Merry Christmas you filthy animal” like a stocking full of NOTE clobber and hardware.

Accessories

While we’re on the subject of socks – we’ve got a proper treasure trove of them lurking in the stockroom. And that’s just the tip of the giftable accessory iceberg.

If you’re at a loose-end for present ideas, a well-chosen bit of neckwear or a cold-busting bonce-topper is usually a safe bet. One-size-fits-all means zero disappointment and when it comes to accessories everyone’s always after a new piece.

Beanies, caps, bags, wallets, scarves… say the name of any accessory and chances are it’d make a bang-on gift.

Odds ‘n’ sods

On the hunt for some banging stocking fillers? Look no further than our lifestyle odds and sods – the bits, bobs and glorious pocket-fill you never knew you needed. A Hélas Thermos to house some soup on the session, an iced-out Dime Keyring to elevate your old carabiner, some mind-melting Quasi homewares, a Carpet cast iron skillet for the gourmand in your life or how about a Magenta grinder for… well, you know.

Collectible Decks

While buying Skateboard hardware can be tricky even for the most seasoned skate-gift-giver as sizing and preference really make it a real minefield, there’s some hardware guaranteed to make a splash this festive period: Collectible Decks.

Whether you go for a Britney X Welcome Deck, a New Order Color bars series, Powell Peralta re-issues or the Clown Skateboards City Of God Collectors Set, these decks make for the perfect impressive "Big Present". Wall-hangers, grails, conversation starters.

Christmas Complete

Alright, we might’ve just said that gifting skate hardware can be tricky… but few things in life are as guaranteed as the joy of unwrapping a Christmas Complete.

Got someone in your life who’s due a fresh setup? Or a relative finally ready to give skating a proper go? This could be your year to take gold in the Gift-Giving Olympics.

Hardware Nic-Nacs

Bearings, wax, tools, bolts, bushings, risers… the sort of stuff no skater ever has when they actually need it. We’ve all been on a session where the question “Has anyone got a tool?” is asked and no-one has the goods. That’s where you come in.

It might not be the most glamorous pile of giftable gear, but this is the glue that holds any crew together. The under-the-tree essentials that can save the day, fix the setup, and maybe – just maybe – help secure that long awaited clip.

A true Christmas Miracle.

Skate Media

Twixmas when everyone barely knows what day it is, is stuffed to the brim with turkey and stuffing and is looking for something to do while cracking a well-deserved cold one on the sofa. It’s arguably the best time to get stuck into some skate media. Get a classic that can be enjoyed year on year, buy a book that belongs on every skate coffee table, get that zine that’s got some questionable content.

Obviously anything is giftable but for brevities sake, that's the list. Head to the collection to have a full peruse at everything on offer.

Still feeling uninspired? Pop into the shop, drop us an email and ask us for some advice, we’re more than happy to give you some ideas, field your questions or provide some assistance.

And remember… if you’re really stumped, you can't go wrong with a NOTE gift card.
