Join behind the scenes today and get the insider scoop

1 - Ski socks

KOOOGEAR Kids Ski Socks Long Knee High Thermal Socks for Girls Boys Colourful Sports Snow Boot Socks for Skating Skiing Snowboarding Children UK Size 12-3

Cool ski socks never go out of fashion! And my kids and I wear our for skiing, of course, but also just to keep warm and toast through winter. These ski socks are cute for Christmas but also are just winter fun too, lasting past the festivities.

2 - Snowshepherd Gloves

Snows Shepherd gloves from father and son team Tim and Brendan and made in the UK with repurposed leather. A modern update on the classic leather liftie gloves. They look good and will keep you warm and toastie.

When they are the gloves of choice by ESF UK and other ski schools, you know they must be doing something right!

On their site, they aren't listed as kids' gloves, but as XXXS or XS, etc, and they come in lots of colour ways; I'll be wearing the pink mittens this winter!

3 -Christmas sweater

NOROZE Boys Christmas Jumper 3D Kids Bird Reindeer Retro Unisex Xmas Santa Snowman Penguin Pullover Sweater, Christmas Sweater Girls UK Sizes 3-13 Years

It's a universal rule (in my opinion!) that everyone should own at least 1 “ugly” Christmas sweater! And more if you're really cool (I have loads!) I always try to find ones that have a nod to both Christmas and winter in general so I can wear them longer than just the festive period.

TOP TIP for kids is to buy them oversized, perfect for nailing the cool skier look, but they'll also last much longer!

4 - Lego ski kits

LEGO 41756 Friends Holiday Ski Slope and Café Winter Sport Christmas Set, Gifts for Girls, Boys & Kids, Creative Toys with Liann, Aron and Zac Mini-dolls and Fox Toy Animal Figure

I absolutely love this Lego kit. It's on our Christmas wish list. It's great for litter skiers but is also super inclusive, with POC figures and also a sit skier. Love it and love Lego.

5 - Mechanical Cable Car

Jagerndorfer JC82496 Cable Car System Starter Set Red/Black Cars

Ok, warning: it's not cheap, but it is amazing! We had one of these above the desk I used to work at in a ski hotel, and it was so much fun. In fact, I think my home desk needs an update…

6 - Ski A to Z Book

Ski A to Z: An Illustrated Guide to Skiing – Kimberley Kay

My kids love this book and we'll read it in the run-up to the ski season starting. The illustrations re super cute, and they always learn something. Plus,the book is super inclusive with all nationalities represented and also includes sit skiers as well as skiers and snowboarders.

7 - Reuseable hand warmers

Anstore 6pcs Reusable Hand Warmers, Mini Christmas Pocket Warmer Children Finger Warmer Winter Christmas Hand Warmer for Outdoor Camping, Hiking, Mountaineering (Santa Claus/Snowman/Reindeer)

I love reusable hand warmers. They are much better than the thrown-away single-use ones. You just pop them in a pan of water and boil them to reactivate them.

If the temperatures are dropping, I'll pop some of these in my kids pockets if they want to use the during their ski club or lessons. They love their Santa ones, regardless of whether it's Christmas or not.

8 - Ski pyjamas

Unisex Kids Whistler Ski Print Christmas Pyjamas – White

So cute! Great that they ar unisex and come is a variety of sizes. I love that they are perfect for Christmas, but also just for winter in general. I can imagine snuggling up to my boys in these PJs with a hot chocolate to watch Pokemon for the millionth time!

9 - Kids ski base layers

Reima Toddlers' wool mix thermal set Trivsam

Reima makes the cutest kids' base layers that I've found so far! But better than that, they actually keep the kids warm on the mountain. They look good enough that often. They can strip their outer layers off at the hotel bar to enjoy a hot chocolate before we head home. We always get compliments on their thermals.

10 - Winter beanie hat

Patagonia Toddlers' wool mix thermal set Trivsam

Patagonia is the perfect example of buy once, buy quality. Their hats last forever; if you get one for your little one, trust me, they will still wear it years later! The Patagonia beanie hats grow with them.

Perfect beanies for ski trips but also great for chilly football days or school playgorunds.
