We have gathered together the top 20 best gift ideas for snowboarders; everything from budget-friendly to luxurious to help finding the perfect gift idea for you. Have your snowboarding friend grinning from ear to ear, holding the ultimate gift you chose for them, and get a few extra brownie points as a friend.

Being out on the slopes all day can get quite chilly especially facing the wind on those chair lifts causing your hands and feet to slowly start to go numb. That's why HotHands Hand / Foot Warmers are the perfect budget gift to give to a snowboarder, so they can last all day on the slopes, carving it up with warm extremities and cost less than a cup of coffee.

Is your friend a little tricky to buy for/already owns everything when it comes to snowboarding? Get them the ultimate present, an Auski gift voucher; allow them to choose what they want in the correct size without you having to lift a finger. An Auski gift voucher is the perfect gift for a snowboarder as there is always something new and exciting to buy to make their days on the slopes even more enjoyable.

Thermals are a must when heading to the snow, keeping your body toasty and ready to conquer the wild, unpredictable conditions. Thermals are the best present for a snowboarder as you can never have too many; thermals can get stinky after wearing them for a while but can be challenging to wash every single day in the snow. That's why you can never go wrong with giving thermals to your snowboarding buddy as a present.

Buy them a new killer outfit that they can rock to the local café or bar on the mountains. Popular items from Burton include the 2021 Elite Long Sleeve Tee and the 2021 Mountain High Short Sleeve Tee.

A Hydro Flask bottle will keep your chosen beverage hot or cold all day long. This is a great gift for snowboarders who are out for a snow walk or simply sitting around a fire with friends who want to keep their hot chocolate or tea hot while in the cold weather – and it’s also a gift they can use all year round.

The Epic Australia Pass is the ultimate snowboarder's dream. It will give them access to multiple mountains around Australia for the whole season, while it's not cheap, it is one of the best gifts that money can buy – you'll also be their best friend for the rest of your life.

13. Homesick Ski Trip Candle

Purchase this candle for a snowboarder that unfortunately can't make it to the slopes this year. A funny, light-hearted present that will connect their snow memories with the candles’ unique scent. In contrast, at the end of a ski day, the burning candle will fill the cabin with the perfect scent that goes in hand with a roaring fire and a cup of hot chocolate. The Homesick Ski Trip Candle is the best gift for a snowboarder that will make them smile with joy every time they walk past it.

14. Foam Roller

A foam roller is vital for a snowboarder who goes hard on the slopes all day long. After a few days out on the mountain, the muscles start to seize up and get very tight; a foam roller is the unique present for snowboarders allowing them to roll out their muscles at the end of each day, so they wake up fresh and ready to go hard again for another day.

15. Life / Waterproof Phone Case

Even the smartest and most expensive phones are not safe in the snow; from water to freezing temperatures, they need all the help they can get.

16. Bottle Opener Key Chain

There is nothing worse than having a bottle of beer and not being able to open it on the slopes. A bottle opener key chain is the best present for a snowboarder, they can connect it to their keys or pocket and enjoy a refreshing beverage out on the slopes, plus they will also think of you every time they use it.

17. Physio Cream

Physio cream is an underestimated gift for snowboarders but essential to keep them going all day long. Snowboarders' muscles can get quite sore and seize up after a few days of carving it up. Thus, physio cream will help relax and repair their tight muscles for a long snow season. Help them out by gifting them some physio cream, they may give you a funny look at first but will be forever thankful once they feel the results.

18. Lip balm / Sunscreen

Who would have thought wearing sunscreen and lip balm in freezing conditions is necessary?! For a snowboarder, lip balm and sunscreen are essential items to bring with them on the slopes to protect their face against the harsh wind and intense sun off the snow's reflection. A simple gift for snowboarders but goes a long way out on the mountain, check out our Top Australian Sunscreens blog to pick the perfect one for your friend.

19. Garmin Instinct Tundra Watch

Time flies when you're having fun on the slopes, that's why a Garmin Watch is the ultimate gift for snowboarders. The Garmin Instinct Tundra Watch was explicitly designed for winter sports; it can track snowboarders' stats and log the trails they complete making it a handy device that makes following the snow day easy.

20. Grassracks Bamboo Snowboard Rack

At the end of each snow season, snowboards get put away, back in a bag that doesn't get seen again until the following year comes around. It can be pretty disappointing when you have spent a lot of money on an awesome snowboard with insane graphics; that's why the Grassracks Bamboo Snowboard Rack is the best gift for a snowboarder so they can display their board year-round.
