These gifts will have them ready to shred the gnar.

To be a skier, you truly have to be built different. Some people are born into a legacy of skiers, starting out with ski school at the age of one. Others start a little later and learn at their own speed. (Literally!) Wherever your friends and fam fall on that spectrum, you probably know that skiing takes a lot of concentration, grit, and, uh, equipment. That makes for an extensive gift list.

For hardcore fans of the winter sport, sure, you should have some boots, skis, a helmet, a jacket, and some poles. And while you're at it, why not pick up some fun ski-themed merchandise for the fam and yourself? I'm talking an "It's All Downhill From Here" beer pint glass for your brother and the 100 Slopes of a Lifetime book for your aunt, the bucket list skier—in addition to the legit ski equipment you'll need for the trip.

Now, I know what you're thinking, and you're right. It is way too early to be buying holiday gifts...but hey, at least it'll help to get you thinking about what's on your own wish list this year, too.

Trust me, these gifts will make your next ski-cation exponentially better. (Maybe they'll even prevent you from getting lost on top of the mountain and having to ski down a double black diamond by yourself—which definitely happened to a friend, not me when I was 16.)

Ahead, find 40 of the best gifts that will make the skiers in your life extremely happy. Shred on!

Everyone knows the hardcore skiers hit the slopes super early in the a.m. Whether your bestie has a full-on vacation home out west or they just love the sport of skiing, get them this clock to remind them of their happy place.

(Plus, it gives such good ideas for positions to hit to look like a master skier on the mountain. Safety first, though.)

Hey, nothing wrong with taking the edge off after a long day on the slopes. This decanter is great for your friends who like to live it up during the day on the mountain, and relax at night. And it's such a cute decoration!

While these socks *probably* aren't as warm as regular ski socks (check out my pick for those below!), they sure are a funny accessory. Any skier with a sense of humor will love these socks, even if they can't actually ski a double black diamond trail.

We. Love. Skiing. Decor. This wall print is a great decoration for your skiing friend, even if they live miles away from the mountains.

Think you don't need sunscreen because you're not at the beach? Wrong—it's all fun and games until you get burnt on the mountain. The sun reflects off of the snow and right onto your skin—so remember to lather up with a few layers before shreddin' the gnar!

Something not everyone thinks about: the fact that skiing is hard work and exercise, i.e., you're sweating out the wazoo. It's not a bad idea to take a stick of deodorant on the mountain, just in case you start smelling so bad that it distracts you from your runs.

These waterproof babies will keep your hands warm and cozy during every run. They have zippers which are great for stashing lip balm or a hand warmer. Also, they clip together, making it extra hard to lose them on the mountain!

Like sunscreen, it doesn't hurt to carry around a tube of aquaphor on the mountain for when your lips and hands get dry—especially if you're not a native of dry altitudes. (I'm mostly talking to myself here.) Anyway, these tubes are light and portable, making them perfect to stuff in your ski jacket or purse on your off-day.

I've been waiting for this one...turn it up! After a long day of skiing, there's hardly anything better than sitting in a warm bathtub. To level up your soaking, add some of these bath salts, which are vegan and made with essential oils and Dead Sea salt to relax your muscles.

Picture this: it's just before dinner time and you're sitting on your couch by the fire, showered, ready to devour that post-ski meal. The only thing that's missing is a little bit of red in this stemless glass. Trust me, any skier would be grateful to have some wine in this fun glass at the end of the day.

Soooo you're a mittens person. All good, I don't judge. These ones are waterproof and come with little zippers on the backs. You'll never let go of your ski poles with the grip these gloves have, and the chokehold they have on my heart.

At WH, the Oura Ring is well-loved. Why not take it on the slopes? Yes, it's beautiful, but it also tracks your heart rate, body temperature, metabolic burn, and sleep. Check out how your body's holding up on the mountains with it!

Never—I repeat—never go on the mountain without bringing a snack. These non-GMO and whole grain cheese balls are tasty and will keep your hunger at bay while you're on the slopes. Is anyone else's stomach growling?

No matter the length of your hair, I think all skiers alike can agree that it's ~the worst~ when loose strands get in your way and block your vision. It's also just plain annoying. Keep your strands tight with this knit headband that can double as protection from the cold for your ears.

Say it with me: post. Ski. Moisturizing. Like your lips, the rest of the skin on your body will become dried out due to the lower altitudes and will need to be moisturized. This shea butter body cream also has essential acids and vitamins A and E so it will help you glow when you're off the mountain.

You thought I would include a skiing-themed wine glass but not one for beer? Come on now. The words printed on this pint glass have more than one meaning, and, honestly, they're kind of motivating. Just remember that when that black diamond is looking real tough, that it truly is all downhill.

When it comes to goggles, I'd say that protection and style are equally important. Obviously, you don't want to get snow in your eyes and you want them to be protected from the sun. These guys also have an anti-fog design so the insides will be visible at all times.

These skiing-themed stickers are nothing short of fun. Put them on your water bottle, laptop, or helmet to remind yourself of the ultimate adrenaline-producing activity.

This lightweight backpack is perfect for carrying around all your little must-haves on the mountain. The best part? It includes a hydration valve so you can hydrate as you go!

If you're hardcore, you'll want to pick up this balaclava ski mask, which will cover your entire face (sans the eyes) and neck. It stretches so it will give you the ultimate comfort, and it protects against UV and other harsh conditions.

For the bucket list skier, I point you in the direction of this ski resorts map. It's giving nostalgia. It's giving fond memories. This map will be so helpful when you're trying to look for your next ski destination. And can I just say...it's also a gorg wall decoration.

If you don't know what this is, let me formally introduce you to the shot ski—for those who like to go hard on the slopes and even harder afterward! It doubles as a fun wall decoration, as well.

What goes over your sports bra but under your coat layers? Thermal. Underwear. This layer might not look like it's warm at all, but believe it or not, it contributes a lot to your warmth in those cold temperatures.

Re: the bucket list skier. Here, you can read a bit more in-depth about the slopes every skier should hit at least once in their life, from Utah to Switzerland.

These gloves are more than just stylish—they're functional, too! They give you the ability to text while keeping your hands warm, and you can either wear them as liners under your ski gloves, or as gloves themselves when you're struttin' about the town.

Don't forget about those lips! Not only does your face need sunscreen, but so do your lips. This lip balm with SPF is perfect to take on the mountain and reapply before every run—even if your mouth is covered with a ski mask!

Alas, the crowned jewel of keeping your body warm in the snow. Because sometimes, gloves and liners just aren't enough, and having numb hands can ruin a perfectly good ski day. Just shake them 15-30 minutes before you're ready to go!

Accidents happen, so it's important to always be prepared! This first aid kit will cover the more minor of injuries, and includes an emergency foil blanket, a CPR respirator, bandaids, gauze, and more.

So, everyone's been there. You're in extreme heat or cold and your phone looks similar to that picture—like, it does the cute thing where you can't use it until it's restored to its ~normal temp~. (Plus, if you're anything like me, you've cracked your phone screen while falling skiing.) So, capture two birds here with this extra layer of protection for your phone that will make sure it stays warm enough.

This beanie can either be worn by itself or under a helmet. (Let me remind you that everyone should be wearing a helmet on the slopes, though!) For those who need just a little extra warmth on their head, this thermal moisture-wicking beanie should do the trick.

Our WH Morning Person sweatshirt has never fit a more perfect occasion than for all you morning skiers out there. Layer it over your long underwear and keep it on even when you're home, because it's *that* comfy.

No ski trip is complete without at least one cup of hot cocoa! Give yourself something to look forward to after each day on the slopes by sipping on this sweet treat as you're curled up by the fire with your favorite book of the moment.

Think you've seen it all? Hate to break it to you, but you haven't. This ski-themed calendar is the perfect decor to brighten up any room, especially with each month having a different vintage ski poster. Personally, I'm gonna need, like, five of these.

If the bath salts aren't enough to heal those sore muscles, it might be time to hit up the trusty theragun for a little massage. It has three different speeds and it's small, making it suuuper portable.

Every skier needs a good pair of socks to cushion their feet in the boots and keep those toes warm! Try these ones on for size. (Literally!)

Missing the mountains? Check out this "ski house"-themed candle that will instantly transport you back to your last ski-cation. Its base is made of soy and combines the smells of burning wood and mountain spruce.

For those sore muscles, we prescribe a nice post-ski rolling session. Sometimes, nothing feels better than just rolling out your quads and back.

A sports bra for skiing should be lightweight and breathable, but also functional—and that's just how to describe this one from Outdoor Voices! Stay cozy shredding the slopes and resting at the mountain cafeteria in this fun bra.

Because you can never have enough ski-themed jewelry! This stunning necklace is made of sterling silver, so it'll last, and it's wonderful to wear on or off the mountain to remind you of this fun hobby.

Sip your morning coffee or apres-ski hot cocoa in this mug on those especially hot days where you're stuck in the office. Sunny and snowy days are ahead!
