Fat Buddha Xmas Gift Guide 2012 - Part One

Its that time of the year again, where everybody gets frantic about getting the right gifts for their loved ones, getting it wrong more often than getting it right. Don't worry though, we think we can help you out with our Xmas Gift Guide!

 

If you've got an avid cycler in your family, these bike lights from Swedish company Bookman are the perfect present. Growing out of a love of cycling and design and dissatisfaction with bike products currently on the market, four friends just about to finish university decided to have a go at designing and manufacturing bike products they would actually like to use.

 

 

These lights are available in 8 different colours and each pack features 2 easily attachable lights with three different flashing functions that can be changed at the push of a button. Available instore and online for only £17.45, these are the perfect stocking stuffer.

 

Streetwear heavyweights Carhartt teamed up with British umbrella makers London Undercover to create this amazing piece combining the strengths of both companies.

 

 

Carhartt have been outfitting the masses for years and since the 90's have been one of the leading companies on the streetwear scene, London Undercover on the other hand is a much younger company, starting out in 2008 with one mans view to restore the umbrella to the fashion accessory it once was...and with great success!

 

 

The folded umbrella comes in a cool camouflage pattern packaged in a recycled tube, in-keeping with London Undercovers ecological ideology. This is a heavy duty, windproof umbrella and what else woudl you expect from workwear specialists Carhartt, this is one umbrella that will keep you safe from the elements.



 

Everyone loves socks at Christmas, don't they? Well, alright, maybe not everybody, but if your nan happens to get you these socks, I'm sure you would be pleasantly surprised.
