The CLMS Christmas Gift Guide: Presents for Kids, Gardeners and the Great Outdoors

Some presents get a polite thank you. Others get a shriek, a sprint to the garden and a Christmas nobody forgets.

At CLMS we’re lucky to stock a lot of the second kind, from show-stopping kids’ bikes and quads to the sort of clever, useful gift that makes a gardener’s year. So if there’s someone on your list who’s hard to buy for, here are our favourite ideas across every budget.

For the Kids — the Show-Stoppers

If you want the big reaction on Christmas morning, this is where to look. These are the presents kids remember for years.

Electric bikes. The Revvi 20” is a proper electric off-road bike for confident riders aged around 10 and up — three speed settings you control, full suspension and real go. It’s the definition of a dream present for an older child who’s ready for it.

Pit bikes and scramblers. For teens and older kids bitten by the off-road bug, our bikes range covers petrol pit bikes and scramblers from trusted names — the step up for a rider who already has the basics.

Quads and ATVs. Few gifts land like a quad. Built for fields, tracks and off-road adventures, they’re the ultimate present for the child (or big kid) who loves the outdoors.

Off-road buggies. For two-up fun, our buggies — including midsize models with reverse gear — are brilliant for shared adventures around the land.

Go-karts. From Kayo we stock both petrol and electric go-karts — a fantastic first taste of driving for younger thrill-seekers.

Electric scooters. For getting around with a bit of independence, an electric scooter is a perennial favourite.

A quick, honest word on these: they’re serious bits of kit, so match the machine to the child’s age, size and ability, kit them out with a helmet and protective gear, keep them to off-road and private land, and supervise as they learn. Chosen well, there’s no better present — and if you’d like a hand picking the right size, just ask.

For the Keen Gardener

The gardener in your life is one of the easiest people to delight — and some of the best gifts are the ones that give them their weekends back.

A robotic mower. The gift that quite literally mows itself. Our robotic mowers run on wire-free satellite navigation, keeping the lawn immaculate while their owner does anything but mow. It’s a genuine “how did I live without this” present.

Cordless garden tools. A quality hedgetrimmer or leaf blower is the sort of thing keen gardeners always want but rarely treat themselves to — which makes it a perfect gift.

For the Home and the DIYer

For the practical person who likes a job done properly.

A pressure washer. Endlessly satisfying and endlessly useful — a power washer makes light work of patios, decking, driveways and cars, and it’s a gift that gets used all year round.

A multi-tool system. Our multi-tools take one power unit and add strimmer, hedgetrimmer, pruner and blower attachments — a whole shed’s worth of kit in a single, clever gift.

The Big Family Gift

If you’re going all out this year, a ride-on mower is the ultimate present for anyone with a large lawn to tame — turning the biggest chore of the week into something close to fun. It’s a serious gift for a serious garden, and one the whole household benefits from.

Stocking Fillers and Smaller Treats

Not every good present is a big one. Our parts and accessories are full of smaller ideas — from protective gear and spare batteries to blades, line and the handy extras that keep every machine running. Perfect for topping up a bigger gift, or for the person who has the machine but always needs the bits.

Making the Big Present Easy

If the gift at the top of the list is one of the larger ones — a bike, a quad, a robotic mower — our Christmas Club lets you spread the cost over the weeks before Christmas and collect it fully paid off in time for the day. It’s a simple, credit-free way to make a big present manageable, and it secures your exact choice before the December rush.

You’ll also find free shipping on all robotic mowers, ride-on mowers and Revvi bikes.
