Introducing Bandanas by ClimbAddict Designs!

Our partners at CafePress have added bandanas as a product offering, which allows us to create print designs we think rock climbers and other adventurers might be interested in.

We've launched our collection with a selection of celestial images which have been made available by NASA. Capturing these images through the Hubble Telescope, we're able to see star clusters, galaxies and planets in crisp, brilliant detail. For our collection, we've included images such as the Orion Nebula, Milky Way, and Jupiter's Third Spot.

Bandanas are 22 inches square in size, and made of Polyester.

Christmas Gift Ideas For Rock Climbers, 2013

The holidays are approaching and whether we boulder, tie in on toprope at the gym, enjoy leading on gear, go for it all on bolted routes, scare ourselves silly high stepping in etriers, pick away at the ice, or find ourselves embracing survival on mountain walkabouts, there's one thing we climbers all have in common this time of year - the elusive search for the perfect...NO, NOT the PERFECT LINE!... the right gift for someone close to us.

 Whether that's our climbing partner, significant other, friend from work who is addicted to climbing, Secret Santa Gift Exchange at the local rock climbing wall, or even ourselves, the search for climbing-related gift ideas and presents for our climbing friends can be daunting.  

At ClimbAddict Designs, we have a wide variety of choices available in graphic design-based climbers t-shirts, stickers, travel mugs and more, and also our well-respected, hand-finished  chalkbags. However, Happiegrrrl also has connections due to being Captain of the Etsy Climbers Team, and so she's gone on a visual shopping spree and selected an array of items - made by climbers and for climbers - for your perusal. 

 Click through to the links to get more information on each item, and don't worry if the piece has been sold - simply click through to the seller's shop Home and see what else they have in store to satisfy your holiday gift shopping desires.

Of course I have added a few selected items from ClimbAddict and Talisman Studios(shops I own). The other items are made by people I have met and climbed with, or know through the Etsy Climbers Team which is a group of sellers on the Etsy platform who are also rock climbers!

If you see something you like, click through and you'll be delivered to the sellers website, where you can purchase the item and see what else they offer. And = perhaps you'll help us out and share the link to this guide on your social media pages, and help give these small businesses so exposure.
