Our Christmas guests have told their children they're only getting a few presents, but Dad is actually secretly driving the family car across from the UK laden with gifts to put under our 12ft Christmas tree. The kids are in for a huge surprise and we can't wait to see them light up with the Christmassy-ness of it all. The anticipation has got us thinking about fun ski-related gifts for kids, and we've always loved the inventive headwear that comes out with each new season.

Zaney headwear has become increasingly popular on the slopes for the last few years, and whilst we all know adults in crazy headwear is a no-go zone, an official child sanction means kids are allowed to go all out.
Some of our favourites in the last few seasons have been the animal-themed helmet covers that come from the US. A bit more clever than your average long-spikes-zaney-hat, the animal hats come in loads of styles and actually will help you to spot your little darling from a hundred yards away.
Yes, they're hideous, but kids love them. And we love happy kids! It's always great to have something that they can unwrap and use straight away too.
The best new fad we've come across in the lead up to winter 2011/12, however, has to be the fabulous chunky knitted beanies from
Chaos Hats, with huge oversized pompoms that are interchangeable! The giant pompoms clip on and off and each beanie comes with two different colours, so you can change your hat to suit your mood. We think they'd be brilliant for teenagers. Unfortunately we can't seem to find a website that sells them yet - so they'll be something to look out for in ski shops this winter. Do they do adult versions ...?
