1. Gifts for campers

VERVE Instant Craft Coffee Sampler ($17) + insulated REI Co-op camp mug ($23)

7 – 8. Gifts for hikers

Nalgene Wide Mouth ($17) + BeFree water filter ($45)
OR Trail 25 hiking daypack ($99) + 3L hydration reservoir ($68)

We have TWO different holiday gift recommendations for hikers! At a lower price point we recommend a lightweight and versatile Nalgene Wide Mouth water bottle paired with the Katadyn BeFree water filter, which is our favorite on the market for filtering lake and river water! These gifts can be used in combination for longer hikes, or separately for shorter adventures.

If you’re open to spending a bit more then I recommend the REI Co-op Trail 25 hiking daypack, which is cute, comfortable, and comes with a lot of great features (including a rain cover). I recommend pairing it with a 3L hydration reservoir for the ultimate adventure-ready setup!

10 – 11. Gifts for backpackers

Black Diamond Headlamp ($50) + Emergency Bivvy ($20)
OR PocketRocket 2 Stove ($50) + backpacking meal ($14)

We have TWO different holiday gift recommendations for backpackers! First, give the gift of safety and peace of mind. This Black Diamond Headlamp is bright, water resistant, and won’t break the bank (it’s also great for hikers). It pairs perfectly with an Emergency Bivvy, which is an essential– but often overlooked– piece of safety gear in case they need to make an emergency shelter. Alternatively, help fuel your backpacking buddy’s next adventure by gifting them the legendary  PocketRocket 2 Stove, and one of my favorite backpacking meals! Either way, you can’t go wrong.

12. Gifts for adventure couples 

Mesa XL Fire Pit ($100) + 2 person camp blanket ($150)

If you want to gift items that help people have a fun experience then this cute and cozy gift pairing is perfect for your favorite adventure couple! I recommend gifting a firepit and a 2 person camp blanket for cozy nights under the stars. The Mesa XL Fire Pit is portable, cute, and allows couples to cozy up around a campfire without much fuss (s’mores anyone?), and this 2 person camp blanket is perfect for cuddling! 

13 – 14. Gifts for national parks enthusiasts

OR America the Beautiful Pass ($80) + 2025 National Parks Calendar ($28)

The high quality insulated water bottle comes in three designs (Yosemite, Zion, and Yellowstone), so you can pick your giftee’s favorite park! 

If you’re willing to spend a bit more, an America the Beautiful Pass is always a great option, since it gives people free access to our national parks and public lands for a whole year! Pair it with a beautiful 2025 National Parks Calendar for a thoughtful gift. 

15. Gifts for vanlifers, RV’ers, and overlanders

TravelNest Hammock + straps ($55) and Luci Solar String Lights ($55)
