What do you buy for the outdoor person who has everything?
Between now and Christmas, we'll be running a daily
Christmas
Cracker featuring an inspired Christmas gift idea to help you
cope with that tricky purchasing situation.
Number Nine: Alpkit Tin-Can-Man
The boys over at Alpkit are best known for their pukka outdoor kit
at bargain prices, stuff like the Filo down jacket with its
650 plus fill power goose down filling, their neat self-inflating
Airic mattress range and handy bouldering mats, but if functional
just isn't christmassy enough for you, check out the utterly useless
but quite ornamental Tin-Can-Man.
Utterly in the spirit of Christmas, well, the Wizard of Oz anyway,
Tin-Can-Man is an ice climber made from recycled soft drink cans
complete with twin ice tools and crampons. He can be suspended from a
hook or supplied with a stand and costs £25 complete with a
gift-wrapped box.
Ideal for the ice climber in your life. And remember, mad ice
climbers have few or no functioning brain cells, so it's a safe
bet...
Of course, if the Tin-Can-Man's not to your taste, you could
always go for one of Alpkit's rather nice Hoodies, for boz or gurlz,
or a down jacket, or a tee-shirt, or, well, just head on over to
AlpKit at www.alpkit.com
and have a browse. They also have special late night shopping on
Tuesdays and Thursdays when you can ring the boys direct with any
questions....
