How about REI.com? Its a wonderful store and you can find almost anything for a person that loves the outdoors. They will ship anywhere.

LL Bean (wwwllbean.com) is a great US catalog for outdoor gear. They ship anywhere but you'll have to pay duty.

Try www.hawkshead.com<BR>They're UK-based, so delivery charge is low and no extra taxes to pay.

Hi everyone, thankyou for your reply's, I need a U.K. based company as I don't want to have to pay duties etc. &amp; have only a couple of weeks left for delivery.

Lots of UK stores now offer shopping online. A few more to try are - www.wellbeing.com (Boots) - www.debenhams.com - www.johnlewis.com - www.littlewoodsextra.com - all these have good gift ideas, but I'm not sure they have anything so specific for skiers as Hawkshead.

Try www.iwoot.com. A UK based firm.<BR>Not exactly ski gear, but some great stuff (iwoot = i want one of those - things that you want, but don't need)
