Dar■ Tough Micro Crew Cushion Socks from £20

We couldn’t put a Christmas gift guide together without at least one pair of socks. The Via Ferratas (£22) and Haselton Hiker Lights (£20) are super hard-wearing technical socks that, unlike some, have a big ol’ dash of colour in them, making them a far more fun festive gift. www.darntough.com
