Here we are - at the end of another amazing year and it’s the most wonderful time to make gifts to show the people in your life how much you love and appreciate them. 

But what happens when those people practice extreme sports and you’re not that much into them but still want to make an amazing gift? Do you wait for the last moment to choose or start as early as possible? Fact is - it doesn’t matter if you’re always late with presents or an early planner - when you have this list!

You can always save and use one of our amazing ten ideas and have their gratitude on Christmas day (and any other day, in fact!). 

Vouchers for training sessions

All people are different but there is an unwritten law regarding those, who practice sports. It states as follows: they all crave more and more knowledge on the best and most adventurous ways to play, slide, skate, roam, fly, or whatever else rows the boat of your favorite person. And that is including rowing!

This is why a gift card or a voucher for training sessions is one of the most sensible and thoughtful gifts you can ever give. And the preparation for it will take you just a few discreet questions to find out the expertise level your favorite person has so you know what to get.

What is more, if there is an extreme sport they want to try, it is even easier for you to gift them an experience they will never forget. And believe us, this type of gift really is unforgettable.

Just as well, don’t forget that most people who have tried one type of sport usually want to try another, similar one. For example, if they’ve tried skiing, they might also want to get into snowboarding. Just as well, if your favorite person likes skating, they might want to try rollerblading - or in reverse. 

This is our go-to gift because there are endless opportunities hidden here - all, perfectly thoughtful, and easily accessible online. You purchase it and receive it in your mail. Most companies offer you the opportunity to receive it in a physical form in a special box, envelope, or something else - gift wrapped and ready for Christmas morning!

Gift cards they can buy more and more for their sport addiction

One of the most expensive parts of (some) extreme sports is getting the proper equipment. And let’s be honest, some sports require really expensive quality equipment - even just for health and safety.

This is why our second proposition for a gift is a gift card or voucher for the person’s favorite shop. That way you can support their hobby (or way of life) and just as well get the last-minute gift - just in time for Christmas morning!

A big plus of this idea is again the convenience it offers. Nowadays it’s not that easy to go around and Christmas shop like before - on-site, with a lot of people around and crowded spaces. And the gift card for the shop may be combined with something else, is a very good gift - especially if you’re not into the sport your favorite person is practicing and you don’t know that much about equipment and good brands.

Get one along with another little thing from our list and you’re settled!

 

Merchandise for that favorite person

Everybody loves merchandise and nowadays there are so many things you can choose from - keychains, equipment, jackets, sweatshirts, scarves and gloves, hats, phone cases and so, so many more.

You just need a little bit of information on the size of the person you’re making a gift for or the model of phone/laptop he has so you can get a nice branded case for it! 

You cannot be wrong with fandom merchandise and if you want to spend a little bit more money, you can even get a collectible that has even more value than most of the items you can find. Trust us, you will be adored for this kind of gift forever and ever!

 

Equipment for more amazing adventures

If you’re more into the certain extreme sport you can risk it with good equipment for the hobby you’re special person is practicing. It can be a brand new pair of shoes, a board, roller skates, or whatever else that will help them practice more and have more amazing moments. But keep in mind, this will be a good gift only if you know the person really well and what he needs. Otherwise, you’re up for returning the item(s) and getting another. And by that time the Christmas spirit will be long gone.

 

Technology that will make the sport they love easier/safer to practice 

Most extreme sports need a few technical pieces to be practiced safely and responsively. This is why a compass, a GPS, a satellite phone, or some other type of equipment the person in your life who loves the wilderness and sports can use is always a good choice for a holiday gift.

What is more, you can also ask for advice at the shop where you’re getting it without tipping off the person at all. This way you will have the moment of surprise on Christmas morning - or any other holiday and celebratory morning.

An additional idea to this category is a good camera suitable for extreme activities: one that can continue working in low temperatures, in damp weather, or high altitudes. Most people who practice extreme sports will be grateful for a new model of one or to get their first camera like this as a gift. You need a little bit of research about the good models, suitable for the extreme sport the person practices and a few days for delivery after you order it. And voila - an amazing present right at your doorstep, ready for putting under the Christmas tree!

 

Tickets for events / conventions / competitions

Nowadays it’s pretty hard to go to conventions, competitions, or events that are dedicated specifically to a special extreme sport. If you’re lucky though, your country can still organize them and you can get tickets. Bonus points if you manage to get really nice tickets or a VIP pass so your significant other or another close person can meet a sports idol of theirs and have a picture, selfie, autograph, or even a quick chat!

Depending on the country you’re in you might even find services that offer a “Meet and spend a day with x-person” kind of service. Just do your homework in time and check it out a few months in advance so you can book a nice date and of course - the correct person.

 

3D printed figure of the person you’re making the gift for

We’re speaking of a fairly new industry here, so you might not find it easily or cheaply, but you can have a really original gift on your hands. 

Our proposition: find a nice picture or video of the person you are making the gift for and search for a person and/or company that can make you a project and 3D-print a model of them.

An amazing and unforgettable gift for sure - especially if you manage to make a bigger one and spend a few more dollars for its quality. Trust us - the person will be amazed and will remember and cherish the gift for years to come!

 

Extreme sport themed canvas/art for their home

Let’s face it - art is always a great gift. The tradition started centuries ago and it’s running until today - very successfully, we might add.

And most people will love a picture, photo, collage, or nicely edited video for their home or personal collection - especially if it’s connected to their favorite sport. So let your imagination run wild, search around social media and write to friends and family to get the footage with the best resolution! 

Of course, you can always get a picture from the web printed out and made into a great canvas - in a few segments or a big picture. You can also hire somebody to paint a picture of the person customly - like a caricature or even a painting in a traditional way.

Just choose it well so it will suit their place well and they will adore it since it’s personalized and made just like them - unique and only one in the world!

An additional idea is to prepare a nice and custom-made photo album - also a great addition to a bigger gift too. Just as well, you can order a custom-made puzzle with a picture of them practicing the sport. It might seem cheesy but it will be a cherished gift that will find a place in their home.

 

Adventure for the adventurous person in your life

If the person you’re making a gift for is adventurous at heart then they will absolutely adore any trilling experience you set for them. It might be a safari, a natural survival trip with tents and additional extreme sports practice, or just a simple city adventure with specific, custom places to visit. It is enough to have a few thrills and a few (even smaller) gifts and this will be an unforgettable experience!

 

Extreme sport themed books

Most people who love adventures and extreme sports always thrive to know and learn more - about their favorite sports and about the world. 

This is why books and also not a bad idea for a gift for these kinds of people. Editions such as “The best places to skydive”, “Ten amazing destinations to scuba dive” or “The best ways to ski” are always an amazing addition to their library and will give them loads of new ideas for extreme experiences.
