The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for the Outdoor Lovers You Love
As the holiday season approaches, it's the perfect time to find gifts that will delight the outdoor enthusiasts in your life. Whether they're hikers, campers, or simply love being outside, these eco-friendly, functional gifts are sure to make their next adventure even more enjoyable. From gear that keeps them safe to items that help protect the planet, this guide has you covered!
Eco-Friendly Fire Starters
If they love camping, eco-friendly fire starters are a great gift that’s both practical and sustainable. Many traditional fire starters contain synthetic chemicals, but there are plenty of natural alternatives made from recycled or plant-based materials. Pair this gift with some all-natural marshmallows or a bag of gourmet coffee beans for an outdoor-themed gift set they’ll love.
If you want to save some money this season, make your own eco-friendly fire-starters and give them as gifts (or use them yourself)!
Why They’ll Love It: They get to enjoy a campfire without impacting the environment, and it’s a unique item they may not buy for themselves!
Reusable, Insulated Water Bottle
Hydration is key to any outdoor activity, and an insulated, reusable water bottle is the ultimate companion. Look for bottles made from glass, recycled materials, or brands with a commitment to environmental responsibility. A high-quality insulated bottle will keep their drinks cold (or hot) for hours, making it ideal for hikes, camping trips, or even just a day in the park.
Why They’ll Love It: It’s durable, eco-friendly, and keeps their drink at the perfect temperature—plus, it helps cut down on single-use plastic waste.
Eco-Friendly Camping Blanket
A cozy, eco-friendly camping blanket is a versatile gift for the outdoorsy person in your life. Many companies now offer blankets made from sustainable or recycled materials that are perfect for everything from campfires to picnics. Choose a compact, lightweight option that easily fits in a backpack, so they can take it anywhere.
Why They’ll Love It: warmth and comfort in an eco-conscious package—ideal for chilly nights around the campfire or a spontaneous winter hike.
Solar-Powered Charger
Outdoor enthusiasts love to disconnect, but sometimes, a bit of tech is essential—especially when it comes to navigation or emergencies. A solar-powered charger allows them to keep their devices powered up without needing access to an electrical outlet. Look for models that are compact, lightweight, and waterproof, making them easy to carry and durable for any adventure.
Why They’ll Love It: They can charge their devices anywhere, using the power of the sun—keeping them connected without relying on traditional electricity.
Plant-Based Tick and Insect Repellent
An essential for anyone who spends time outdoors: a plant-based tick and insect repellent. Our all-natural formula is made to keep bugs away without the harsh chemicals often found in traditional sprays. It's safe for pets, eco-friendly, and gentle on the skin—perfect for nature lovers who care about protecting both themselves and the environment. It’s also a fantastic stocking stuffer that will come in handy for their next outing!
Why They’ll Love It: This repellent provides peace of mind, knowing they’re protected without compromising on sustainability.
Reusable Utensil Set
Single-use plastic is out, and reusable utensils are in! A portable set of utensils—often including a fork, knife, spoon, and sometimes chopsticks or a straw—is perfect for outdoor meals. Many sets come with carrying cases, making them easy to pack and clean. Look for sets made from sustainable materials, like bamboo or stainless steel.
Why They’ll Love It: They’re easy to carry and eliminate the need for disposable cutlery, making outdoor picnics or campsite meals more eco-friendly.
Lightweight, Packable Hammock
A lightweight hammock is a dream gift for outdoor lovers, giving them a place to relax and take in the scenery wherever they go. Many hammocks are made from durable, eco-conscious materials and come with an easy setup so they can hang it up between trees in minutes. Choose a packable design that fits into a small carrying bag for maximum convenience.
Why They’ll Love It: It’s a perfect way to enjoy nature, whether they’re reading a book, stargazing, or just taking a nap.
National Parks Pass
For the ultimate gift, consider a pass to the national parks! The U.S. National Parks Pass provides entry to over 2,000 federal recreation sites, including all the national parks. This gift supports conservation efforts while giving them unlimited access to explore some of the most beautiful places in the country.
Why They’ll Love It: It’s a gift that will keep them exploring all year long and shows that you value their love for nature.
