A good quality pair of binoculars are a great thing to take camping, hiking, or backpacking, as they can use them at night for stargazing, as well as during the day to check out the area’s birds and other wildlife.

Binoculars are also a great gift for children and younger campers who are interested in nature and activities such as bird watching.

These Nocs’ Binoculars are waterproof, rugged, have high-quality optics, and come with a lifetime warranty – while still coming in at a great budget-friendly price point.

This portable projector from Nebula unleashes a world of entertainment possibilities when camping or traveling.

The Capsule allows you to hold movie night in the backyard, at the campsite, or even on the beach. And because it’s the size of a 330ml soda can, you can easily slip it into your backpack when traveling.

This portable projector has a 100 ANSI lumen bulb that’s capable of projecting a picture of gigantic proportions—100″ to be exact, and when you think about a 100″ tv, that’s huge!

Caldera + Lab’s The Good

If a man in your life spends a lot of time outside in the elements, like I do, then check out Caldera + Lab – a premium vegan organic skincare company with a difference.

I never realized I needed these products until I tried their flagship product ‘The Good’ for 30 days. I’m still using their products 2 years later and it’s just as well with all the outdoor adventures I put my skin through.

I use their full 3 stage regimen daily which consists of a facial cleanser, moisturizer, and multifunctional serum, and swear by it for keeping my skin in good condition – essential with all the outdoor sports I do.

Their eye serum is also the only one I’ve discovered that actually seems to work, and that doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

To learn more about Caldera Lab’s The Good, and The Eyecon eye serum read my in-depth Calder Lab review of my 30-day testing period as an outdoorsy person who needs to take care of my skin.

Midland X-Talker Two-Way Radio

There are so many potential uses for a pair of quality two-way radios, not to mention for staying in touch and safety when in the backcountry with little to no cell signal.

These weather-resistant Midland two-way radios are great for hiking, skiing, boating and other adventurous activities!

This particular model, the Midland X-Talker T71VP3, has a range of up to 38 miles, 22 main channels (plus 14 extra channels), 5 call alerts and other features including silent operation, auto squelch, weather scan and rechargeable batteries (included). They will also operate using 3x AA batteries.

Inflatable Cornhole / Bag Toss Game

Outdoorsy women and men always love competing at a classic game of cornhole or bag toss while camping or simply enjoying time in the backyard.

This inflatable bag toss game from BOTE is awesome because it can be stored away in a bag when not in use.

We playing cornhole but finding a place to store the cumbersome boards after a game is always a problem – this wonderful gift for your outdoorsy friend solves that problem.

A Leatherman Multi Tool

If you’re looking for a personalized gift for women or men that will endure, be used plenty, and last for years to come, then a personalized multi-tool is a great option.

As outdoor lovers ourselves, we’re big fans of US brand Leatherman’s range of multi-tools, they’re such excellent quality and come with so many options so you can truly find the right spec tool for your (or your gift recipient’s) lifestyle.

My ‘Trail & Kale’ customized Leatherman is a Stars & Stripes / Trail & Kale special edition and looks, in my opinion, amazing!

Outdoor Research Tundra Booties

A more budget-friendly gift for outdoorsmen and women for someone who always has cold feet. How about some warm camp booties?

The beauty of a pair of down (or synthetic alternative) camping booties is that they’re just as useful at home as they are at a campsite or in a camper van.

Helen loves these booties from Outdoor Research, which come in men’s and women’s sizes, are puffy like an insulated jacket.

They are comfortable, lightweight, booties for camping (or keeping cozy at home) that feature a high ankle, breathable outer shell, and anti-slip soles.

For other warm puffy slipper and bootie options, check out our camp booties buyer’s guide.

Aventon Sinch Folding EBike

Aventon named this ebike the Sinch for good reason, it’s foldable, portable, storable, powerful, comfortable, and ready for any adventure you’re planning.

The Sinch folding electric bike will fit in a closet or under a desk, and easily in the trunk of a car or a camper van / RV. It has a powerful motor, a stealthily integrated battery, and a very intuitive color display for real-time riding data.

Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Day Pack

For the loved one who enjoys camping, traveling or generally being active, this ultra-packable day pack from Sea to Summit is another great budget-friendly gift for outdoorsy people.

What makes this daypack particularly great for short hikes and even just using it every day to get shopping or head to the gym, is that when it’s not in use it packs down to the size of a tennis ball, and it only weighs 3.8oz when empty!

Oh, and did we mention – it’s also waterproof – which is a pretty rare feature when it comes to backpacks. This is a great backpack to stuff into a duffel and take off on an adventure and they won’t even notice it’s there until it’s needed, as it’s so small and lightweight.

To learn more about choosing a daypack, our hiking daypacks buyer’s guide explains all, and also includes a range of cool backpacks from other outdoor brands to consider.

One of the best outdoor gifts for backcountry adventurers who need a safety net on their backpacking adventures or camping trips.

Visit an outdoor gear store such as REI which stocks a range of other GPS communicators and trackers to choose from, such as the uber-popular Garmin inReach Mini 2.

An REI Gift Card is possibly one of the best gifts for outdoorsy people because you won’t have to guess what they would like to receive the most, so it’s a great gift for people who are difficult to buy for, or as a last-minute gift if you’ve run out of time to find something great online or in a store.

If you’re not familiar with REI, they stock a huge selection of high-quality outdoor gear for men and women – both online and in their stores across the US.

LARQ self-cleaning UV water bottle | For All Outdoor Lovers

A useful gift for outdoor enthusiasts in the everyday or while travelling.

Having a water bottle, like the LARQ bottle, that uses UV light technology to automatically purify the water you put in it and also cleans itself while backpacking, is pretty awesome.

The battery life of the UV Light cap will last around a month so it’s certainly one of those great outdoor gift ideas for when your outdoor adventurer needs to be able to purify water when backpacking, camping or traveling abroad.

It’s also ideal for everyday use, as you can purify regular tap water (which also removes that ‘tap water’ taste).

For a detailed look at all the LARQ products available, see our detailed reviews: LARQ Bottle Review / LARQ Bottle Movement Review / LARQ Bottle Filtered Review / LARQ Pitcher Review

These cases also come with a 1-year warranty and are wireless-charging compatible.

Rumpl Puffy Blanket

These 1 or 2-person original puffy blankets from Rumpl make for one of the best adventure gifts for a partner, friend or couple.

You don’t have to be an outdoor enthusiast to appreciate being warm when socializing outdoors, or even on the sofa at home for that matter.

We can attest to the warmth they have to offer for everything from nights around the campfire and staying warm during high-altitude van life living, through to cold winter evenings on the sofa at home.

To learn more about Rumpl blankets read our Rumpl Blanket Review and Rumpl Nanoloft Flame Review.

A Silicone Wedding Band

Silicone wedding rings make excellent gifts for outdoorsy couples if given by you to your partner, or the other way around of course!

Perhaps something many don’t think about is that it can be dangerous to wear metal rings for many reasons when being active outdoors – two words “ring avulsion”, I’ll spare you the details on what that is.

We are big fans of these excellent silicone wedding rings that are designed specifically with outdoorsy people in mind, so they can wear their ring(s) 24/7 while reducing the risk of hurting their hands. Two of the most popular brands are QALO and Groove Life.

These are ideal for men and women who enjoy sports such as sailing, scuba diving, and climbing, or work with materials such as metal, welding, and woodworking and love their DIY projects.

Kodiak Boots

Winter footwear is so important for comfort levels when you’re out in cold, wet, or sub-freezing conditions and you need that extra grip, warmth, and protection that a good-quality pair of waterproof boots has to offer.

Companies such as Canadian footwear experts Kodiak boots are specialized in designing boots for seeing you through many cold winters. After all, they know a thing or two about cold weather in Canada!

We love the plaid detailing on this popular women’s style – as well as the fact that they’re super-warm and waterproof!

---

Randolph Aviators

For more about Randolph sunglasses, read our reviews of their aviators and Fusion range.

USA-made, premium-quality sunglasses designed for active people. If you want to really spoil someone this Christmas (or for a birthday or other special occasion), look no further than a pair of Randolphs.

Randolph Engineering has been a supplier of Aviator sunglasses to the U.S. Military for the past 42 years, and for good reason, their hand-made sunglasses are high-quality, comfortable, and durable, and as a result, very reliable in the field.

We’re currently really into their gold-framed aviator style, but really the entire range is badass, everything from classic aviators to oval or round styles, metallic or matte black frames look awesome.

Randolph is the gold standard for high-quality sunglasses for outdoorsy women and men who want vision clarity in the outdoors, and of course to look great too.

Chirp Back Roller Wheels

To learn more about Chirp Wheels, and why we love them so much, read our Chirp Wheel review next.

One of these Chirp Wheels is exactly what your lucky gift recipient needs if you think they’d benefit from doing some relaxing back stretches after all those intensive outdoor adventures and activities!

This back roller wheel is an innovative, yet super simple back roller wheel, which even featured on Shark Tank in 2020, and is infinitely better than using a foam roller to attempt something similar.

Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven

We are absolutely in love with our Ooni outdoor pizza oven and use it all the time outdoors, except when it’s raining because who enjoys a soggy pizza? not me!

Adventurous guys and outdoor women love spending time outdoors, so why not help your special person enjoy EVEN more time outdoors with their very own pizza oven!

These Ooni dual-fuel (wood and gas) outdoor pizza oven make incredibly tasty restaurant-style pizzas, as you can see in our Ooni pizza oven review.

The best part is, they only take a couple of minutes to cook, due to the ovens operating at such a high temperature, so you can spend less time cooking a delicious dinner, and more time eating the pizza and chatting with friends.
