Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Does this gift exist?

I want to buy my wife some ski boots for Xmas.

Does anyone sell a gift voucher or service where she can rock up, get measured, fitted and then buy some boots. I'm looking for London <-> Bristol area really and it would be nice to give money to someone who deserves it rather than a rush you in/out chain store.

Any ideas?

I believe Colin at Bicester would do something like this and is highly recommended http://www.solutions4feet.co.uk/

or Profeet in London http://www.profeet.co.uk/sports-shop/gift-vouchers

Bicester is not that far from Bristol and I'm sure Colin would accomodate you - great boot fitter, have a chat with him.

DaveB, Colin noted recently that he has no appointments available now before Christmas - if it's for afterwards, might be wise to make an appointment now? Well worth travelling to Bicester.

DaveB, Make a day out. Give her an IOU/empty box with pair of toy ski boots in or whatever, and make an appt for her at Bicester. Plenty of places for a nice lunch/coffee/shopping for the opther bit of the day and if it's too far for a day trip stay over? Could cost you a few bob..but she'll have comfy feet for the foreseeable future...I would love that as a gift.

snowyowl, that is the current plan. Now where do I get some toy boots from ????

How about those car air freshener ones - I've seen them in the shape of ski boots. Otherwise try a toy shop - Action Man definitely skis, or Barbie may do, Playmobil make a small skier (we once set fire to one on a birthday cake!). Otherwise, think "Blue Peter" and make some - try clay, or even cake! Or fondant "roll out" icing? any good at woodwork? whittle some? Have you got a shed? Go in there and manufacture!
I googled it and found some stress toys of ski boots & dolls house ones.

snowyowl, the cost of a skiing Barbie (yes, she exists) would be similar to a decent pair of footbeds. If you check round the charity shops you might well find some little kids boots for a lot less money. I just sold a pair on ebay for 99p!

pam w, I had thought of suggesting that myself but then I wondered if I would really like to get a pair of someone else's used ski boots as my present!
PerhapsDaveB, could find a friend/playgroup etc who owns "skiing Barbie" and borrow her boots for a few days?

Just an update, thanks to all who recommended Colin at Solutions-for-feet, Helen went today and he was amazing. She left with a perfectly fitting pair of boots after a long and detailed fitting. Cannot recommend him highly enough.
