The hunt for the perfect Christmas present is never easy. Actually, that’s a lie—thanks to KAVU it’s really easy. From stocking fillers, to the actual stockings to fill, it just so happens that we make a lot of stuff that sits nicely in the ‘perfect Christmas present’ category.
To make things even easier, here’s our handy guide to some choice items that’ll be seriously appreciated on the 25th and far beyond—the kind of functional, useful and wearable things that will still be loved long after the decorations go back in the loft.
The Herschel Hat is a true Kavu Klassic that’s been keeping heads warm and toasty in the festive season and far beyond for a good while now. With that perfectly-sized pom-pom and that ribbed cuff, these are exactly how you’d want a winter beanie to be—and are just right for that post-Turkey (or nut roast) Christmas day walk. Picking the pattern is probably the hardest part here—from mountain range sunsets to the majestic narwhal, there’s a Herschel for every head.
We don’t need to tell you that socks are pretty much the perfect Christmas present. Everyone needs ‘em, everyone loves ‘em, and unlike those last minute panic buys that end up unloved in the bottom of the wardrobe, they always get worn. The Moonwalk Socks are our take on the classic patterned winter sock—super comfy in patterns ‘aplenty—they’re a true no brainer that’ll always go down well.
And for the full KAVU winter ensemble, there’s the Highline Sweater. This one has ‘log cabin retreat’ written all over it—especially when you combine it with the Moonwalk Socks and the Herschel Hat. And because it’s made from a blend of acrylic and cotton, it’s got a bit more year-round appeal than some patterned jumpers out there. After all, knitwear is for life, not just for Christmas.
What do you get the person who has it all? How about something to carry it all in? We’ve been making our Rope Bag for over 20 years now, and they’re still as useful as ever. This one here is our Mini Rope Bag—which, as the name suggests, is a touch smaller than the original version, but size aside, it’s still got all those signature features you’d expect, like that shoulder-friendly rope strap and all those handy compartments. Similar, but different, there’s also the Rope Sling Bag—same design, but made from water-resistant polyester for when the clouds open.
And for those who like things cosy… there’s the Mini Rope Snug Bag, made from two of our favourite winter fabrics—thick pile fleece and ultra-wide jumbo cord. Form… function… fuzz… this beauty combines our signature bag design with a big ol’ dollop of classic American outdoor flavour. Snug by name, snug by nature.
Imagine the feeling. You run down the stairs. It’s Christmas morning. The scent of freshly made coffee wafts through from the kitchen. There’s a big parcel under the tree. A fleece—a KAVU Teannaway no less—complete with exactly four buttons on the collar and two perfectly formed handwarmer pockets. You open the curtains and an immaculate blanket of snow cloaks the ground. You throw on your new fleece and step outside, coffee cup in hand…
Such is the power of the Teannway. This is one of those ‘big gifts’ that truly shows someone you care. We can’t sort the snow, but with one of these under the tree you’re well on your way to the perfect Christmas.
We also make the Cavanaugh Fleece, which is the women’s version of the Teannaway. Same 7.5oz polar fleece, with a slightly more fitted shape. These things are highly versatile—the kind of comfortable, functional fleece that’s equally suited to lazy Boxing Day afternoons in front of the TV as it is loading up a canoe on the top of your car for a day on the river.
The Strapcap has always been a prime gift—the kind of present appreciated by everyone from hardy fisherman to calloused-handed rock-climbers—but the new Strapcap Trapper Hat might just give it a run for its money. Without stating the obvious too much, this one combines the classic details of the original Strapcap (like that nifty nylon strap which keeps it firmly fixed to your head), with some handy ear-flaps for those chilly winter mornings.
And that’s just the mere tip of the festive iceberg. From insulated drinking mitts and Christmas tree ornaments, there’s a lot of prime gifts here. And if you’re still no further in your quest to find that perfect present, don’t worry… there’s always gift cards.
