Outdoor Lovers Gift Guide For Her
Jetboil Flash Stove - This camp stove was one of the first camp items we purchased many years ago when stocking up on backpacking gear. It has proven itself to be exactly what we need time and time again. It brings water to a boil extremely quickly and has food or coffee ready to enjoy in only a couple of minute’s time!
Patagonia Fjord Long-Sleeve Flannel Shirt - LOVE these flannel shirts!! I own two of them and my husband has one as well and they are such a nice weight for layering and very warm and cozy.
Cotopaxi Del Dia Luzon Daypack - This pack is one I picked up recently. I not only enjoy how colorful the pack is but that it is made with repurposed materials and extremely durable!
Patagonia Better Sweater 1/4 Zip Fleece Jacket - I own the zip-up jacket version of the Better Sweater Fleece and I adore it! The material is incredibly soft polyester fleece and warm yet breathable and I love the look of the 1/4 zip pullover. Not to mention the Better Sweater Fleece Jackets are slim fit for easy layering and are flattering on their own!
Goal Zero Crush Light Chroma - Perfect for backpacking or having an evening dinner on the back patio, this solar light collapses down to 1/2 inch for easy storage and weighs only 3oz! Contains a built-in solar panel and can run on low for up to 35 hours straight for extended visibility.
Fjallraven Kanken Re-Wool Backpack - The Fjallraven Kanken is my favorite backpack for short hikes and traveling. It fits my camera gear perfectly as well as my light hiking needs or carry-on travel essentials. Not to mention, it is so darn cute!
Pistil Carmel Scarf - digging the southwest inspired pattern on this scarf not to mention it is a very warm yet breathable cotton fabric and can be used for a scarf, wrap or shawl.
Outdoor Lovers Gift Guide for Him
YETI 24 Roadie Cooler - This item made the “guys list” because my husband has been wanting one of these coolers for a couple of years now (sorry hun)! This cooler is tall enough to fit most wine or 2-liter bottles and keeps them cold for hours on end with its PermaFrost Insulation.
Helinox Chair One Camp Chair - The extremely lightweight camp chair and one of my favorites! Easy to put together and folds down small enough to fit into a daypack or to take backpacking for your next adventure. This chair has been a favorite of mine, it’s so comfortable I am actually sitting in it RIGHT NOW while working on this blog post!
Patagonia Nine Trails 24L Backpack - I own the larger version of this pack and love it! Fits very comfortably and the fabric is durable and water-resistant.
Black Diamon Trail Sport 2 Trekking Poles - Everybody needs a set of trekking poles!! I’ve been using my Black Diamond poles for a few years now and they survived trekking through the Alps and the Rockies on multiple occasions now.
Carhartt Acrylic Beanie - This hat is both my husband's and my brother’s go-to beanie during the Fall and Winter months (I may or may not occasionally steal it and wear my husband’s from time to time).
Prana Hatcher Slim Flannel Shirt - Who doesn’t love a good flannel shirt?! This Prana Flannel Shirt is made from organic cotton and is super soft and breathable, a nice one for the trails or a night out at the local brewery.
Stocking Stuffers for Hikers and Outdoor Enthusiasts
The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Glove - Classy lightweight gloves for hiking and running made with a nice and cozy polyester Fleece material!
Leatherman Micra Multi-Tool - Something every outdoor enthusiast needs in the backcountry! This tiny, lightweight leatherman includes 10 different tools, spring-action scissors, tweezers, and a flathead screwdriver are just a few of the tools included.
YETI Rambler Mug - I love love love insulated mugs, perfect for any outdoor lover! This mug is double-walled and vacuum insulated to trap in heat.
Black Diamond ReVolt Headlamp - Headlamps are a must for hikers and campers and I’ve been impressed with this Black Diamond ReVolt Headlamp! It is rechargeable via USB and includes 3 rechargeable AAA batteries and includes three different light settings and night vision mode.
Stanley Adventures Steel Shot + Flask Set - I thought this was a fun set. We own the flask and use it every time we camp but the steel shot set is a fun addition!
Adventure Medical Mountain Series - Another must-have for the backcountry! So cool that Adventure Medical makes First-Aid packs suitable for any adventure, from a day hike to month-long mountaineering, and includes exactly what you need!
Garmin InReach Mini - Something I wish I owned as a backcountry hiker especially after recent health issues. The InReach Mini includes GPS tracking for on-land treks, an SOS feature that contacts a 24/7 rescue monitor, and has access to downloadable maps and charts to name a few of its functions. Give the gift of Peace of Mind this holiday season!
Hyrdo Flask 32oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle - I own not one, but two of these water bottles and love the crap out of them! These water bottles are extremely durable, BPA, and Phthalate Free and created with TempShield Insulation that stops condensation and maintains temperature.
Smartwool Performance Snow Medium Traced Dahlia Pattern Sock - Smartwool socks are my go-to for all outdoor activities! So comfortable and made with Marino Wool so you can wear them multiple times without the odor if you are needing to pack light for your backcountry adventures.
Cozy Sweaters for Him & Her
Kavu Ellwood Sweater - Loving the geometric print on this sweater! It is made of wool and synthetic construction and is soft and warm, perfect for sipping coffee by the fire and watching the snowfall.
Fjallraven Ovik Knit Sweater - I totally ordered this sweater for myself this season! I am in love with the print and it looks super cozy yet breathable and comfortable for any activity.
Prana Crestland Pullover Sweater - Something about this sweater screams stay-at-home and cozy up to a warm fire! I love that it is odor resistant and breathable yet warm with a relaxed fit, perfect for layering over leggings.
Pendleton Harding Zip Cardigan - Such a fun southwest style print on this men’s cardigan! Not only does it look cozy but super classy as well!
Fjallraven Ovik Knit Sweater (Men’s) - I love all things Fjallraven! This sweater is made with breathable wool which regulates temperature and manages moisture to keep you comfortable.
Airblaster Sassy Sweater - Such a fun graphic sweater for men! Sasquatch is always a win.
