Our Top 10 Christmas Gift List
If you are like us, you probably think December lasts forever and there is no need to rush out and get presents, because there is plenty of time left! Until you realise, there are only 24 more sleeps to go and you have got nothing to show. It is not because we don't like Christmas, that is entirely opposite of the truth, we love it. It is simply that time passes us so quickly. So, to help you and us, we've made a top 10 list of presents for your Cycling friends and family.
1. Socks.
Shaved guns and fresh socks is the ultimate feeling for any Cyclists, especially when you shave with VeloSkin! Our friends at Pongo have some mega designs to keep your sock game strong.
Produced with a 6" cuff for the perfect balance of sophistication and panache. The weave is fine, providing a smooth luxurious feel on the foot and ankle.
Pongo's three founding principles. Quality, technicality and construction; something we resonate with strongly.
Check out Pongo for premium socks. Designed in London. Made in Italy.
2. Coffee
Every cyclists knows the addiction and we just can't get enough of the stuff. A must for any club ride to get the legs fired up, or for chilling out with your riding buddy's after a few miles. Coffee is the fuel of heros.
We recently came discovered Dark Woods Coffee online and their range is amazing, tastes fantastic and makes an awesome present for any coffee connoisseur
3. Performance Skinwear
Treat your skin to the ultimate range of premium performance skinwear products developed by Cyclists for Cyclists. Using natural elements to protect and aid recovery on and off the bike. We firmly believe that if you are comfortable on the bike, you will ride longer, trainer harder and ultimately become a better rider.
Why not buy the cyclist in your life a gift voucher to spend with us? Message us for more information.
During the whole of December, we are offering our friend's 15% off single product purchases. Enter CHRISTMAS at the check out. - VeloSkin
4. Artwork
Everyone loves the arts and memories of the greatest races in the calendar and Band of Climbers have created some amazing wall posters that will compliment any pain cave or cyclists home. A small collective of keen cyclists, who design and produce cycling prints that celebrate all things suffering.

5. Magazine Subscription
Page turn, by page turn, this is one of the most beautiful cycling magazines in the world, we just love Rouleur. Each edition of this amazing magazine brings together the very best cycling writers and photographers to convey the essence, passion and beauty of road racing throughout the world.
What better way to spend your Sunday afternoon in full recovery mode?
6. Nutrition
We just love OTE Nutrition products. Gentle on the tummy throughout races and sportives, great tasting, thoroughly considered packaging and pure performance fuel. What's not to like?
7. The Struggle Sportive

8. Beer
Cycling and Beer; it's the ultimate pairing. Going hand in hand since the trusted steed was invented. Some claim it provides the perfect hydration and recovery after a long ride. All we know is that it tastes good and we would hate to break tradition.
Check out Magic Rock Brewing for a mixed and distinct range of crafted ales made in Yorkshire.
9. Bobble Hats
Synonymous with cycling mostly through 'cross and the winter months that it's, but creeping their way into all walks of riding and relating closely to the original knitted jerseys from yesteryear. You can get many different styles and colours, from national champs to club colours, there are plenty of options to keep your bonce cosy.
Check them out here!
10. Top Flaps
Top flaps! Protecting yourselves and your friends in style. Custom made flaps to finish off your winter commuter or training bike are a must. They keep your kit clean and tidy and help you to fight the elements and make winter riding much more fun.
Get in touch with Top Flaps to create an order for your club or buy your own from their online store.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for your continued support of VeloSkin and we would encourage that you to carry on uploading your cycling adventures to our various channels using the #myveloskin hashtag.
Merry Christmas,
