Why Buy from Red Equipment this Holiday Season

Wow what a year 2021 has been for us all! It’s been a big old year here at Red and we’re very pleased to get going into the Christmas holidays. A chance to kick back, unwind and enjoy time with your friends and families in whatever form. Some of us will be firing up another legendary Christmas themed Zoom quiz, whilst others will be giving the emergency chairs their annual outing. 

So you can focus on the joys of spending more time with loved ones and more traditional festive activities, we've got you covered with extended returns, gift wrapping, next working day delivery options and unbranded packaging to help take the hassle out of gifting this holiday season.

Gift Wrapping Serivce 

Our gift-wrapping service this Christmas will reduce the time you spend looking for the end on the Sellotape, giving you more time to enjoy some Christmas adventures. 

We’ve pulled out the stops to offer a natural and attractive way to gift wrap your Red Equipment order*. All gifts are placed in one of the following sized bags, with red & gold acid-free tissue paper covering the top. The bag is then secured with a shiny gold sticker.

• A natural kraft gift bag
• A matte black paper gift bag (for large items)
• Red wrapping paper for oversized items

We can even add a personalised note onto a hand-written kraft paper gift tag, which will be attached to your gift on request by our team of Christmas Elves! Just leave the details in the notes section of your order. Where possible orders will be shipped in a plain cardboard box so it will help keep the contents a surprise.

Simply add your item to your basket and select the additional wrapping option with your preferred shipping method at the checkout and we can do the rest! Leaving you to perfect your mulled wine and mince pie recipe or even better lace up those boots, inflate that board or sling that active jacket on and head outside. We’re not just wrapping your gifts this Christmas we’re giving you the gift of time! 

Unfortunately as they already come ready to ship in their own box we are unable to offer the gift wrapping service on our cool bags or paddle boards. 

*Excludes Paddle Boards, Paddles and Cool bags and only available for orders placed on after the 12th November 2020 and before 2pm 23rd December 2021.
