Looking for that perfect gift? How to avoid frostbite and not mess up your hair? Uggs has some great accessories. I’ve never been a massive Uggs fan but I’ve been warming up to them. I hate being cold and I don’t like to look ugly and anyone would look super cute in these earmuffs!!

£58 at Shudoo and you can still make a Christmas delivery if you order before noon on Dec 22nd!

I recently interviewed Leon from Shudoo, and here’s what he had to say about the company, which has is one of those rare internet success stories of a solid company that’s been around for years!

Can you tell me a bit more about the company?

Shudoo launched as Ugs & Kisses in 2004 by former Saracens rugby player Robbie Russell and his wife Claire. The company sold UGG boots, but has branched out into other boot brands (Blowfish, Bumper, Snowjoggers) and also shoes (Terry de Havilland, Roberto Botella and Steve Madden).

A new website will launch after the January sales.

What makes the company special?

By Spring 2009 we will have much more brands for both men and women. We’ve launched a blog SHUNEWS (http://shunews.shudoo.co.uk) which offers celebrity style news.

We offer special discounts and competitions to our newsletter subscribers.

How many people work there?

There are seven people at Shudoo. Customer service, management, marketing, content and operations.

Why shop there?

Free delivery (something so simple which is actually a rarity in online fashion), wide range, telephone customer service.

Has it been busier this season?

Yes. The UGG Classic Cardy has been the surprise success of the year.

I hate cold feet especially when I’m on a location video/ film shoot and I’m not really an Uggs girl. I do appreciate models who wears Uggs because they don’t have to wear socks that make lines on their legs and can still have warm feet. The Canadian equivalent are Muks.

Anyway, during the Canadian fur trade 1774 -1821 most fur traders married Native women. These women were instrumental in the success of the fur trade – many Europeans would have never ever survived the harsh winters without these women. In Native cultures, women usually set up camp, dressed furs, made leather, cooked meals, gathered firewood, made moccasins and netted snowshoes and they were considered an equal partner! This was all before European women arrived and thought they were superior… Anyway it’s a messy history but we did get mukluks and the Hudson Bay "point" blanket!

If you hate having cold feet you can buy Canadian Muks and save over 40% at the Muks Private Sale 10am Wednesday 27th February! As for the point blanket you might not see too many of these blankets in the UK but I have seen the occasional coat! Lots of Canadians wear Muks but you might recognize them on more famous people like Kate Moss, Chloe Sevigny, Katherine Heigl, Milla Jovovich, Carine & Julia Roitfeld, Kate Hudson, Yasmin Le Bon, Daisy Lowe…
