Treat Dad to more than another pair of socks this Father's Day. This year Father's Day falls on Sunday 18th June, a chance to treat Dad and if his passions include snowsports then this round up of gifts are a way to say thanks.

If Dad's greatest gripe about skiing is fighting to get into his ski boots then the handy Boot Bib, from Swedish company No More Boots, can take this pain away. Help Dad to focus on the pleasure of skiing with this handy innovation designed to make getting the foot into the ski boot easier. Boot Bib can also be used to reduce the friction of the inner boot against the shell when the inner boot is being taken out and put in, therefore reducing damage. This flexible friend is made of recycled polypropylene (10 - 30%) and is fully recyclable.  More information is here nomoreboots.se/products/boot-bib/
