Finding a great gift for the outdoorsy person in your life often feels like an uphill climb. And if camping or hiking isn’t exactly your idea of a good time, don’t fret — keep scrolling to find the perfect something that’ll peak your interest (and most importantly, theirs). In my pre-mortgage, pre-kid days, I spent more time under the stars than under a roof, and I was always “between jobs” as I chased my next big foray. So trust me — I know which outdoorsy gifts are worth it, and the ideas below are the best of the best.
The key is to think of practical presents that tap into their wanderlust or connect with their call of the wild, whether it’s something incredibly useful or delightfully adventurous. This gift guide includes a mix of the two — some are my all-time favorites from over the years, others are new finds that my fellow adventurers and I would happily receive (hint, hint).
