Buying for someone who already owns three pairs of plain black swimming trunks? Good news: Christmas is the perfect excuse to fix that. Our gift guide rounds up the Budgy Smuggler pieces that land best under the tree, from a first pair of smugglers to cosy hoodies for the winter walk to the sea.

For the man who needs a better pair of swimmers

Every great gift guide starts with the classics. Our men's swim briefs are made in our Sydney factory from GRS certified recycled fabric, with SPF 50+ protection and 80 to 90 hours of chlorine resistance, so they will last well beyond the Boxing Day dip.

• Chilli Willies: red chillies on navy, one of our best known prints.
• Rubber Ducks: yellow ducks on baby blue, and one of our very first prints.
• Jelly Belly Fish: a jellyfish print with a true story behind it.
• Donuts: frosted donuts for the man with a sweet tooth.

For her: swimsuits that actually get swum in

Our women's swimsuits are built for laps, sea swims and lazy days alike, in the same bold prints and the same recycled, chlorine resistant fabric.

• Thick Strap Racer in Chilli Willies: wide, supportive straps for serious swimming.
• Thick Strap Racer in Box Jelly Fish: full coverage with a glowing jellyfish print.
• High Cut Racer in Fluro Flowers: a higher leg line and bright florals.
• Thin Strap Racer in Rubber Ducks: our original racer in our best loved print.

Matching swimwear for the whole family

Few things say family Christmas photo quite like everyone in the same print. Rubber Ducks, Chilli Willies and Flamingos come in men's, women's and kids cuts, so the whole crew can match. Start with Boys Rubber Ducks, Boys Magic Manta Rays or the Kids Swim Onesie Bundle in Rubber Ducks, which comes with a matching swim hat and wet bag. See the full family smuggling range.

Cosy gifts for the winter swimmer

Cold water dips are a British Christmas tradition, and the walk back from the sea is where good kit counts. Our fleece lined hoodies, like the Teal Budgy Arch Hoodie and the Cream Koala Ski Hoodie, and the Retro Polar Fleece in Blue On Blue Baby are made for warming up afterwards. Add a hooded towel with a waterproof pocket for changing on the beach.

Personalised swimwear

For a gift nobody else will have, design your own pair with our DIY Budgy Builder. Add names, faces or a team logo to personalised swim briefs, made to order in our Sydney factory. Custom pairs take a few weeks, so order early if you want them under the tree.

Still stuck? Let them choose

A Budgy Smuggler gift card lets them pick their own print, or try a mystery box: you pick the size, we pick the print.

Happy Christmas, and happy smuggling.
