Vintage Surfari Wagons’ Big Sierra Skies Camp Tour
Ready to find a fun and thoughtful gift for your nature-loving friend that they will actually enjoy and use? The best gifts for avid adventurers are those that will fuel their passion for nature and give them a reason to get outdoors. With that in mind, here are some ideas to wrap up for the outdoorsy people on your shopping list.
Glamping Accessories
Worldation explains glamping is a trendy way to enjoy the great outdoors without being unplugged completely. If your giftee loves glamping, consider getting them a fun glamping accessory that will make their time in the outdoors a little more comfortable.
You can never go wrong with a big, fluffy blanket or a portable espresso maker. Portable chargers, gourmet s'mores kits, and light strings can also make for great glamping gifts. If your gift recipient likes to stay in wifi-enabled yurts or campers, you could even get them a versatile and powerful streaming device so they can get cozy in front of their favorite shows after a day of outdoor exploring.
Useful Outdoor Gear
Most hikers and campers are always thrilled to receive new gear they can use on the trail. For example, a good-quality daypack is one of the best things you can buy for an active adventurer. Other hiking essentials, like a hydration bladder, water filtration system, and trekking poles, can come in very handy on long day hikes and overnight trips in the wild.
Even if your giftee already has every piece of hiking gear imaginable, they can never have enough comfortable hiking socks—99 Boulders recommends merino wool for its temperature regulation and moisture-wicking properties.
Gift Cards and Passes for Fun Activities
Non-material gifts are another great option for the nature lover in your life. Consider giving the gift of a fun, memorable experience with a gift card or pass for an outdoor activity. For example, a gift card for Vintage Surfari Wagons is the perfect travel-inspiring gift for anyone with a case of wanderlust. The gift cards are available in $100 increments and can be used to rent a campervan or book a group expedition for an unforgettable road trip experience. Vintage Surfari Wagons
Some other great experiential gifts include a National Parks Pass or tickets for zip-lining, gondola rides, or an aerial adventure park. REI also recommends gifting an experience you can do together, like a kayak tour, snowshoe adventure, or camp cooking class. On top of the gift itself, your special someone will have fond memories to look back on.
Educational Books and Guides
Books can make some of the best gifts! They’re affordable, personal, easy to wrap, and perfect for those people on your list that say they don’t want any presents. From trail guides and survival handbooks to elegant coffee table books filled with stunning landscape scenes, there are endless books you could get for the outdoor enthusiast in your life. Wilderness tales and true adventure stories written are also great ideas.
If your gift recipient really likes to read, consider getting them an e-reader so they can take all their favorite books with them on hikes and camping trips without adding excess weight to their pack. Many e-readers even have backlit screens, which make them great for night-time reading after the sun goes down.
Buying a gift for the outdoorsy person on your list might be easier than you think. There are several great material and non-material options out there that are sure to inspire and excite glamping enthusiasts and ultralight hikers alike. In the end, your gift recipient will love any present that you’ve put this much thought and care into.
