Hiking and camping stuff can be expensive, so we’re sure your outdoorsy friend isn’t expecting you to buy them a full tent and cooking set. Luckily, there are still a few things you can buy them that’ll fit your budget. With Christmas just around the corner, here are holiday gifts you might want to consider.
Tribu Igorot Adventure
When hiking on trails, you can’t just wear any shoes. If your friend doesn’t like wearing heavy boots, you can get them these locally-made outdoor sandals. The base is made of durable rubber and an ergonomic design that makes it shock-absorbent. Shock-resisting features are important when looking for hiking sandals because they ease the stress on your feet and has better traction.
It has a continuous webbing strap system, too that makes adjusting easy with just a pull on one end. Fitted footwear that won’t fly off? Let’s go.
ByNature moisturizing insect repellent
As much as your friend loves the outdoors, bugs are a big issue on the trail. One thing they’ll appreciate is a good mosquito repellent, and you’ll want to gift them one from ByNature. More than keeping bugs away, it also doubles as a moisturizer they can use on a daily basis. It’s also made from all-natural ingredients like organic grapeseed oil and pure chamomile essence oil. This repellent is safe for those with sensitive skin and even children.
Giant Pourfast Evercool water bottle
If your friend is the type who enjoys off-road cycling or likes riding up the mountains, then this water bottle might be the right gift. Staying hydrated is important for any activity but with bikes, it’s important to have one that’s easy to put on your bottle cage. This one has a casing that is thinner and smoother, so it’s easy to attach and retrieve. It also has a dual-thickness body that keeps its contents insulated that keeps liquids cool longer.
G4Free outdoor camping set
If your friend is the kind of person who likes to camp out for more than a day, then cooking sets make for great gifts. These pots are made of aluminum alloy, making them both sturdy and lightweight. They are nonstick, too and have foldable, space-saving handles. We love that the set comes with their own bag, which can hold a stove and some utensils. This set is compact and aside from camping, they can be used for emergency cases and survival kits, too.
