Why not support local businesses/charity this year with your Christmas shopping? 

Surely Amazon have earnt enough in 2020.

Here are a few suggestions and ideas for presents this year.

wl


A calendar for the Derbyshire Caver in your life!

wl


With gift vouchers, 10% off all Rab and other great offers there are plenty of reasons to support this iconic caving shop.  A friend of mine just bought Fenix lights for his cycling buddy, so gifts for non cavers too!  ;D

Tony is in the Mendips next weekend and The Peak on the 19th or of course you can order online.
For excellent customer service and a depth of knowledge give Starless River a call or click!

You can never have enough wetsuit socks!  ;D

Tim and I have thoroughly enjoyed the huge variety of films available through the Kendal Mountain Festival Film Pass - currently watching a team bring a piano down a mountain in the Himalayas!  Films available all December.

If so Where?

Hija, I'll see if we have one spare, if so you can have one :)

Maybe we should get some more made??  :coffee:
 
The cave-related greeting cards on the Descent website are fantastic:

Ukcaving mugs, a word of warning: If you get (or have got) such a mug, don't put it in a dish washing-up machine; I did, and it took off most of the decoration, leaving a nearly-pure-white mug!  :weep:
 
I don't have a dishwasher, so I don't know for sure, but the print seems perfectly robust on mine and it's been in regular use for several years.
Perhaps there was a dodgy batch?
 
Dominika has some beautiful caving/cavers prints for sale on her website:

I think that she's stopped selling The Cave Starter pack due to printing costs, but I think another run is on the cards...

You must have a pretty severe dishwasher Fulk.  One of my ukcaving mugs has been through our dishwasher many many times with only a little fading  after four years. 
 
Thanks for the suggestions Ms. Pegasus! That's SWMBO's Christmas present sorted - always a problem; you would have thought being married to me would suffice for an eternal gift.
 
Not quite local, but the Hungarian calendar looks good:
