Flying Squirrel London Holiday Gift Guide
by Daniel Reid
December 2025
Experience gifts from Flying Squirrel London plus small-brand, Canada-available gear that actually gets used all winter. Each pick includes a direct link, current price, and why it made the cut.
- 10-Hour Family Pass — $190 CAD
Perfect for high-energy kids and families who already know they’ll be back. The 10-hour pass is shareable, can be used over multiple visits, and gives you flexible, pre-paid jump time without committing to a specific day.
- e-Gift Cards — choose your amount
Digital, instant, and actually exciting: Flying Squirrel e-gift cards can be used for jump tickets, birthday parties, snacks at the Drey Café, and merch. Great for grandparents or relatives who aren’t sure what to get but want it to be fun.
- Flying Squirrel Grip Socks — $3.50/pair
Required for jumping and ideal as a stocking stuffer. They’re reusable, have solid grip, and save the “we forgot our socks” scramble at check-in. You can also use trampoline grip socks from another park if you have them. Only available in-person at the trampoline park.
- Faber “North Kid” Snowshoes (Québec) — $70 CAD
From a Canadian maker dating back to 1870, these are kid-sized, lightweight, and easy to strap on. Great traction helps little legs handle Thames Valley trails or snowy park loops without frustration.
Buy: Faber snowshoes
- GV “Kid Trail” Snowshoes (Québec) — ~$75–$125 CAD
Soft bindings, real flotation, and a shape that lets kids walk naturally instead of waddling. Ideal for families who want to explore trails more than once or twice a year.
Buy: Snowshoes Canada
- HockeyShot Extreme Passing Kit (Oakville brand) — $269.99 CAD
Basement-friendly skills, no renovations required. The clamp-on passer fires pucks back for one-timers and quick hands; the roll-up pad tucks behind a couch when you’re done. It’s the rare training aid that sees action all season.
Buy: HockeyShot
- INDO BOARD Original (Canada distributor) — $104.25 CAD
Part toy, part training tool. Kids use it to wobble, spin, and “surf” indoors; meanwhile it quietly builds balance and core strength for skating, snowboarding, and skiing. Parents inevitably take a turn.
Buy: Indoboard
- Landyachtz “Dinghy Blunt Synth” Complete (Vancouver brand; indie shops) — $184.99 CAD
A compact cruiser with a slightly wider platform for stability—easy to carry, smooth to ride, and tough enough to pass down. Great for sidewalks, side streets, and campus runs down the line.
- ESLA T2 Kids’ Kicksled (imported by a small Ottawa business) — $359 CAD
Think: winter scooter on runners. Kids stand on the rails, kick to glide, and suddenly snowy paths are the best part of the day. It’s unique, memorable, and gets used whenever the snow cooperates.
Buy: Kicksled Canada
- Pelican “Nomad 40” Kids’ Sled (Canadian brand) — $49.98 CAD
A sturdy, family-proof sled with a grooved bottom for straight runs and a pull rope for the trek back up. Ideal for local hills and “just one more run” days.
Buy: Algonquin Outfitters
- Slackline Industries “Base Line” (50 ft) — ~$60–$80 CAD
A whole balance park in one small bag. Easy to set up between two trees; challenging enough to grow with kids (and competitive adults).
Buy: Climb On Equipment
- Spikeball Rookie Set (Canada store) — $70 CAD
Larger ball and net make it easier for younger players to rally. Perfect for gyms, basements, or the backyard come spring—fast feet, quick reactions, lots of laughs.
Buy: The Rogue Way
- Douglas “Jumper” Flying Squirrel Plush — $21.95 CAD
A soft, on-theme flying squirrel friend that pairs perfectly with a jump pass. Great size for stockings or under-the-tree add-ons.
Buy: Tuesdays Bookshop
For London families, the best gifts are the ones that get dragged out again in February, not forgotten by New Year’s.
These active picks plus Flying Squirrel time do exactly that, while keeping your support close to home with Canadian makers and independent retailers.
