Normally in my Christmas gift guide i focus just on gifts for cyclists, but this year i'm going to branch out a bit and include some gifts less related to cycling but more related to having a chilled and delicious warm cosy Christmas. As usual i like to support independent businesses (like myself) so here goes. I hope this is useful!
Land Chocolate
£5.50 / Buy it here at Earl of East (also another local hackney store)
Hackney brand of chocolate that is premium and delicious! i don't always buy chocolate by its colour palette, but i think people should
Nut and Noggin Shampoo bar
£15 / buy it here
This shampoo and i are having a love affair, i believe i cannot live without it. The company is championing using less water in products as well as donating a percentage of all sales to a young person in need. Whats not to like.
London bike kitchen water bottle
£17 / buy it here
Foga Plant shakes subscription
Health is all we want and need afterall is said and done. The couple who run this business are pin ups for this healthy and positive lifestyle. Their products contain all the passion and goodness that they put into their business, Foga. You can get one of their starter packs with a blender for £55.

Labomono Urban rain jacket
Unfortunately we cannot control the weather, but when it rains at least we can style it out in comfort. These raincoats are designed by the nicest french guy around and the products are just lush.

Goodordering saddle bag
Our new eco tartan range is unisex and a great gift for any cyclist no matter how amateur or professional. The bag can be attached onto the handlebars or cross bar of any bicycle. The bag also comes with a shouder strap so you can use it for a night out on the town too.

A social enterprise worth supporting. The gorgeous founder of this company is named Comet and made me want to name my son comet. but i didn't. She is doing cool stuff and trying to make a difference.

34.4 Honey Balm
This product is transformative. The other balms that this lovely local hackney company make are also amazing but this one is this hero product and for a reason.
£15 for 30g (comes in different sizes) / buy it here
Hackney GT BMX Jersey
My long time mate Russ runs this company, he is a creative inspiration and more than that an inspiration because he also overcame cancer and now is one of the fittest over 50 year old men i know. Actually he IS the fittest man i know full stop.
