Inexpensive Christmas Gifts Ideas for the Skier - Ski Socks

A practical inexpensive Christmas gift for the skier is a pair of ski socks. Ski socks are designed to keep the skier warm, dry and comfortable while skiing. A favorite among skiers is the Midweight Merino Ski Sock, which is made with 37.5% Merino wool. Merino wool is extremely soft and comfortable wool that will insulate the skier's feet while wicking moisture away to keep the feet dry. They also have comfortable padding in the heel, toe and shin areas. These socks sell for between $15 to $37 and are available on the Backcountry.com website.

Inexpensive Christmas Gifts Ideas for the Skier - Battery Heated Ski Socks

If ski socks seem too humdrum for the skier on your list, perhaps a gift of Cabela's Battery Heated Ski Socks will be a more inspiring inexpensive Christmas gift for the skier.

The D batteries are enclosed in a pouch near the top of the sock for comfort and ease of wear. These socks sell for $22.99 on Cabela's website.

Another excellent inexpensive Christmas gift for the skier is a pair of ski gloves.

A somewhat unusual but inexpensive Christmas gift for the skier is a set of hand warmers.
