Best Christmas Gifts for Outdoor Lovers

During our travels, we have unquestionably invested a significant amount of time in the great outdoors. We've put a number of different pieces of outdoor gear and devices through their paces, including camping on all seven continents and trekking some of the world's most famous trails. When compiling the list of Christmas gift ideas for this year, we had the notion to center our attention on the items that would be most appreciated by people who enjoy spending time outdoors.

Going outside can be one of the best ways to get away from the stresses of everyday life, which is probably why an increasing number of people these days are choosing to live closer to their homes. These are the Christmas gifts for outdoor lovers that Famvibe has suggested for you to look into. Therefore, if you are looking for a Christmas gift for a person in your life who enjoys spending time outdoors and being one with nature, you do not need to go any farther.

1. Camping suggestions for beginners

To be serious, those who enjoy being outside have the simplest personalities to shop for Christmas gifts. From apparel to equipment to electronic devices, the options are virtually limitless. When it comes to suggestions for presents for people who enjoy being outside, you need not be concerned since we have you covered. One thing that we won't be doing is going hiking, so that means no hiking boots or pants. My opinion is that these are personal choices that individuals need to try on for themselves to ensure that the fit, size, and comfort are appropriate for them.

2. Binoculars

Any activity that takes place outside would benefit greatly from the addition of binoculars. Binoculars came in handy for us when we were searching for markers on canoe trips, when piloting a houseboat through the Rideau Canal, and when we were on safari. In fact, we even use them to observe birds in the pond that we have in our backyard. It's important to get a nice pair of binoculars if you want to give this as a present to someone who enjoys being outside because not all of them are made the same. We prefer to use portable binoculars that don't take up too much space in our luggage and aren't overly heavy, but they still need to be of a high quality and have a focusing ring and an adjustable diopter.

3. Water Filter and Water Purifier

A decent water filtration system is something that any person who enjoys being outside will value. When going on a long canoe journey or going hiking in the backcountry, you won't have easy access to clean drinking water. A SteriPEN is one of the simplest ways to purify water, and it is not only fantastic for people who enjoy being outside, but also fantastic for people who enjoy traveling. It takes only a few seconds to purify water despite its compact size and lightweight.

4. Water Containers/Bottles

Water bottles are excellent selections for Christmas gifts for people who enjoy being outdoors and are perfect if you need to stuff a few more stockings. Even if they already have a bottle, it will be utilized in the future regardless of whether or not they need a new one after a season of cycling or hiking because we have found that we always need a new one. This Yeti Rambler Squeeze water bottle is perfect for cyclists, while this excellent Yeti Rambler insulated water bottle is perfect for hikers.

5. Buffs

I have an extensive collection of buffs, and I find great enjoyment in wearing them. When I go rock climbing or cycling, I use buffs beneath my helmets. When I go hiking, I wear them to keep my hair out of my eyes. When I go camping or trekking in the early morning, I wear them around my neck. One of the most multifunctional items of clothing for people who enjoy being outside is a buff. There's a good reason why Survivor has been rewarding its contestants with buffs for the past 20 seasons!

6. Headlamp

A USB headlamp is yet another wonderful present option for people who enjoy spending time outside. If you're looking for a Christmas gift for outdoor lovers, you can't go wrong with a high-quality headlamp that they can use while cycling, trekking, or camping. Even if we all have lighting on our cellphones, those who enjoy being outdoors and adventuring need to have their hands free. A headlamp is an absolute necessity for any activity that takes place after dark, such as cooking over a campfire, chopping wood, or hiking along unlit paths.

7. Outdoor Gifts for Hikers

A sturdy bag makes for a great present for explorers and travelers. A day pack or hydration pack is the ideal present for people who enjoy spending time outside; nevertheless, I believe that the decision about a full-size travel bag should be made by the individual themselves.

8. Trekking Poles

The number of times that trekking poles have prevented us from getting injured while we were out on the trail is beyond my ability to count. The use of trekking poles can significantly reduce the amount of strain placed on the knees during long, multiday excursions. Additionally, trekking poles can be of great assistance in maintaining balance when traversing rocky and uneven terrain. By lending them these trekking poles, you can help your friend who enjoys the outdoors feel more confident on their next excursion.

9. Merino Wool Socks

The Christmas gift of socks is one that is universally well received, and socks made from Merino wool are particularly well suited for those who enjoy spending time outdoors. Consider getting this pair of socks for the passionate hiker in your life if you are looking for something to put in their stocking. We use these socks regardless of whether it is hot or chilly outside since they are quite effective at wicking perspiration away from our feet and the wool helps to keep us from getting blisters.

10. Satellite Communicator

Having a satellite communicator with you when you go into the backcountry is one of the best ways to ensure your safety. It is equipped with SOS communications, tracking capabilities, and messaging in both directions. In the event that something went wrong when we were out in the backcountry, we always had a way to contact the rest of the group. Therefore, if you have a loved one who enjoys going far off the usual road, this is without a doubt one of the best presents for people who are passionate about the outdoors.

11. Emergency Tent or Sleeping Bag

There is a good probability that you will not bring a tent with you when you go hiking for the day, but because misfortunes may and do occur, you should always be prepared to spend the night anywhere. You don't want to lug a big tent with you, but this Survival Shelter Bag would be a great addition to the emergency kit of the outdoors enthusiast in your life. It would make a great Christmas gift for outdoor lovers.

12. Hydration Tablets

A Christmas gift set consisting of hydration tablets and gels is sure to be well received by hikers as well as cyclists. When working out in the heat, it might be difficult to get enough electrolyte replacement. A day spent trekking will benefit tremendously from the addition of one of these Nuun pills to your pack. We like to carry a water bottle that has been supplemented with hydrating fluids in addition to filling the bladders of our backpacks with water. When going on a hiking trip for the day, it is a good idea to have something to drink that has a fruity flavor to it.

13. Outdoor Watch with GPS

Who wouldn't be thrilled to get a watch as a present? The Garmin outdoor watch with GPS was designed to function reliably in even the most extreme conditions. A man who enjoys spending time outside would benefit greatly from having a watch like this one because it comes equipped with a compass, an altimeter, built-in training apps, and a GPS that supports global satellite navigation.

14. Tilley Hat

When spending hours outdoors hiking, on a boat, or on safari, a full-coverage hat is a must. Sunstroke is a very real risk for anyone who enjoys being outside, and a Tilley Hat is the kind of present that anyone and everyone will adore receiving. This timeless hat offers excellent protection from the sun in addition to its breathability. The fact that the Tilley Hat is able to maintain its shape even after being repeatedly crammed into our backpacks is one of our favorite features of this cap.

15. Base Layers

There is nothing more satisfying than climbing into your sleeping bag at night while wearing a pair of cozy leggings made of merino wool and a shirt. This base layer is perfect for wearing under clothing on chilly hikes, sleeping in on colder nights, or even just lounging around a campfire. It is also versatile enough to be used while climbing mountains. Adding a traditional merino wool set to one's collection of outdoor gear is something that every fan of the great outdoors will enjoy.

16. Jacket

This present idea for people who enjoy being outside is a two-in-one deal! Both a jacket and a vest are included in the Jacket. When you're ready to shed a layer while you're out enjoying a day of sightseeing, simply use the magnets on the jacket to convert it into a vest. The vest has 22 pockets, so that your buddy or partner will be able to store anything they need for the outdoors in it, ensuring that they always have access to their most vital gear and supplies. In addition, they will make you seem stylish when you are adventuring in the vast outdoors.

17. Travel Boxer Briefs

One can never have too many good pairs of undergarments. The ScotteVest Travel boxer briefs were designed specifically for travelers, but those who enjoy being outside will also find that they are comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. If you're looking for stocking stuffers, these briefs are a great option because they'll fill it up beautifully.

18. Multitool

A multitool is a fantastic present idea for any male, in my experience. When it comes to enjoying the great outdoors, having a multitool is more useful than you might imagine. The Leatherman Signal Camping Multitool was developed specifically for use in the great outdoors, whether for camping, hiking, or repairing outdoor gear. In addition to the 19 tools that are included in this adventure buddy set, there is also a ferro rod for starting fires and an emergency whistle. This is an excellent suggestion for a present for somebody who enjoys doing things yourself and who is usually well-prepared.

19. Zippo Hand Warmer

When I go trekking outside, my hands can easily become quite cold. In order to keep my fingertips toasty while we are out and about in the winter, I frequently need to use hand warmers. This Zippo Hand Warmer is a pocket warmer that is kind to the environment because it eliminates the need for disposable heat packs. It can provide enough heat to last for a half a day and is an excellent option for a present for someone who enjoys spending time outside, whether on the trails or on the slopes.

20. Thermal Traction Booties

My toes and feet are frequently chillier than Dave's, much like my fingers are. When the sun goes down, one of my favorite things to do is slip on a pair of booties, and these traction booties take my love of slip-on booties to the next level with their high-traction rubber outsoles. These are so comfortable that you can even wear them to the lodge after a long day on the slopes! The multipurpose booties are suitable for wearing around base camp, in the van life, or even around the house.

21. Crocs

Crocs, I am aware of what you are contemplating! Really? Crocs, on the other hand, are ideal footwear for camping, boating, and simply lounging around outside after a long day of hiking. When I go camping, my favorite thing about Crocs is that they are so simple to put on and take off. In the evening, I like to wear socks made of thick wool, but during the day, I like to walk barefoot. Believe me when I say that a quality pair of camp shoes will be much appreciated by the woman in your life who enjoys spending time outside.

22. Pass to All of The National Parks

A pass to any of the nation's national parks would make an excellent present for someone who enjoys spending time outside. You can buy a pass that gives you access to all of the National Parks in the country, regardless of whether you are in Canada or the United States. Just think about how pleased your wife will be when you give her unrestricted entry to all of her favorite national parks and the ability to explore even more over the course of the next year.

23. Rumble Blanket

Women love getting cozy, and this Rumpl Blanket is a stylish way to cozy up by the campfire. Because of the coating's ability to repel water, dirt, odors, stains, pet hair, and other debris, it is an excellent complement to equipment used for camping and other outdoor activities. Even more impressive is the fact that it just weighs 2 pounds and 1.6 ounces and can be packed into a stuff sack.

24. A Woman’s Guide to the Wild

I have a passion for gaining new knowledge, and the Woman's Guide to the Wild covers not just the outside lifestyle, but also challenges that are unique to women, such as remaining safe while performing feminine functions like peeing in the woods. This book is a fun present idea to get the woman in your life interested in the outdoors. It doesn't matter if she's an outdoor enthusiast for the first time or an experienced pro.

25. BioLite AlpenGlo 250

This BioLite AlpenGlo light would be an excellent present for someone who enjoys spending time outside since they don't want to spend their lives hunched over in their headlamps. This lantern operates in the same manner as a traditional lantern, so it emits a soft, ambient light. However, this device is impervious to water, can be recharged, and doubles as a power bank that can be used to charge other electrical devices through USB.

You may suspend it within the tent and adjust the mode so that it flickers to simulate the look of candlelight. It offers a variety of color temperatures, and if you want to have some fun with it, you can set it in a party mode where the colors will flicker and change. It works wonderfully as an additional source of ambient light at a campsite or for giving to a friend who lives in a van and needs lighting that is softer than what the van provides.

26. Camp Stove

A quality camping stove is an essential piece of equipment for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. There are several varieties of camping stoves available, ranging from a two-burner stove designed for car camping to a portable camp cook. If you know someone who enjoys going on adventures, you may get them one of these stoves as a Christmas gift. Because we like to pack lightly when we go hiking and backpacking. What we enjoy about it is that it is able to burn a range of gasses; as a result, you will never be in a bind and will be able to fill your tank with any kind of gas you are able to obtain.

27. 3 Season Tent 

Any person who enjoys being outside will recognize the value of owning a tent, and a lightweight tent is a significant investment. We prefer to climb by ourselves, however this does depend on the number of others that are camping with us. Because a two-person tent is insufficient space for the two of us, we recommend purchasing a three-person tent instead. We put it to work while camping our way across Northern Ontario and while cycling through Africa. It is compact enough to be carried in one hand but roomy enough for two people to use simultaneously while still retaining some personal space.

28. Sleeping Bags

Sleeping bags may be quite expensive, so outdoor enthusiasts will be grateful for a present that is of great quality, will keep them warm and comfortable, and will save them money. When we first started going on our trips, we didn't have a comfortable sleeping bag, so we had to endure a lot of chilly evenings. I wish I could tell you how many of those nights we spent. You can make a positive impact on the quality of someone else's life by providing them with a lightweight sleeping bag that is suitable for all temperatures.

29. Sleeping Pad 

Everyone can always use a new sleeping pad or Thermarest. This is an incredible present for people who enjoy camping and hiking in the great outdoors. Everyone wants to get a good night's sleep, and if you can afford to get an excellent sleeping pad for the person in your life who enjoys spending time outdoors, both they and their backs will be eternally grateful to you.

30. Coffee Press

Whether you're going hiking or trekking, a touch of luxury may go a long way. We can't start the day without a cup of coffee, and the famous coffee brand is one of the best luxury Christmas gifts for outdoor lovers. They will remember you each and every time they make a pot of coffee in the morning.

31. X-Brew Coffee Dripper

For Backcountry Campers this X-Brew Coffee Dripper is a better option than the French Press. The reusable filter and collapsible mug are included with this portable and lightweight coffee dripper that folds up. When collapsed, the whole thing is less than the size of a drink coaster. This is an excellent option for a present for the traveler who has everything, the caffeine addict, the hiker, or the camper.

32. Camping Chairs or Stools

The first time we did a road trip around Spain and France we camped in awesome campgrounds but unlike Canada, they didn’t have picnic tables at each campsite. Oh, how we wished we had brought along some foldable camp stools! If you know an outdoorsy person who is passionate about camping, they will like receiving this present from you.

33. Stackable Cooking Pots with Lids

Pots and pans are not the first thing that come to people's minds when they begin stocking up on their outdoor and adventure gear; nonetheless, these items are among the most essential ones to have. The use of a portable set of cooking pots that are able to stack will transform ordinary meals cooked over a campfire into culinary works of art.

And with that, I'll leave you, guys! These are some of the best Christmas gift ideas for the outdoorsman in your life, whether they be yourself or someone else. There is still time to do your holiday shopping, and we hope that we have given you some ideas that will be of use to you during this holiday season.

34. Stove Fire Pit

This is the perfect present for anyone you know who enjoys the warmth and glow of a campfire but can't take the smoke that it produces. The Stove Fire Pit is a wood-burning fire pit that burns wood in an effective and gradual manner. Additionally, it features a 360° that produces a hotter fire with significantly less smoke. Car campers and van lifers that are interested in dispersed camping and want to have a campfire that is secure and confined while also adhering to the principles of Leave No Trace would find this fire pit to be an excellent Christmas gift idea.

35. Portable Waterproof Speak

It's pleasant to listen to some decent tunes while you're preparing supper or just chilling around the campfire when you bring along a portable speaker, which is one of the requirements for us when we go car camping. Because it is lightweight, tough, and entirely waterproof, the Portable Waterproof Speaker may accompany you on all of your travels without causing any problems.

36. Printed Hammock

After a strenuous trek or after setting up camp, there's nothing quite like unwinding in a hammock and taking it easy. The Printed Hammock is the ideal present for people who enjoy car camping because it provides adequate space for two people yet packs down to an extremely compact size. You'll have no trouble finding the ideal hammock as a present for anyone on your list because there are so many different prints and patterns available.

37. Swiftlet Hammock Stand

The Swiftlet Hammock Stand is perfect for pairing with a hammock! A hammock stand provides the convenience of being able to hang your hammock in any location, as well as the freedom to do so without having to search for the ideal trees. The ease with which one may transport the stand is enhanced by the fact that it is surprisingly lightweight and comes with a protected travel case.

38. Blanket 

Blankets are our go-to choice for camp blankets because they provide adequate warmth and coziness while also being exceptionally resilient. It's been four years since I've been making use of mine, and I still can't believe how well it's held up! The comforters are crafted from a variety of materials, including recycled synthetic, a more insulating synthetic, and down, among others. You also have a wide range of options to select from in terms of color and design. The fact that they are resistant to both water and dirt, in addition to the fact that they can be washed, makes them one of our most recommended presents for people who enjoy spending time outdoors.

39. Quick-dry Towel 

Nomadix Quick-Dry Towels are very useful and versatile for travelers. Not only can they be used to dry off after a shower, but they can also be used as beach blankets, sarongs, car seat covers, yoga mats, and much more. If you have a traveler in your life who loves to explore the outdoors, this is the perfect Christmas gift.

40. Beanies

Good things come in threes, right? These classic Burton beanies go with everything and are perfect for any cold-weather outdoor activity from hiking and camping to skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. They come in a three-pack and with a variety of color combos, you can’t go wrong with this Christmas gift for outdoor lovers.

41. Even-heat Camp Pro Cookset

The 11-piece Stanley Even-Heat Camp Pro Cookset is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a kitchen cook set that is both functional and compact. It comes with everything you need to cook while camping, such as a pot and frying pan made of stainless steel, as well as a cutting board that folds up. The best part is that everything can be stacked and stored together to take up less space.

42. Vacuum Bottle

On a chilly day, wouldn't it be good to have a hot beverage to warm you up? Whether you want something to sip at the viewpoint on your climb or you're boiling a batch of coffee at camp, bringing along a hot drink is a breeze with this Thermal Vacuum Bottle that you can bring along with you. This thermos has the ability to keep liquids hot or cold for up to 27 hours, or iced for up to 4 days. This is the ideal present for anyone who enjoys being outside because its construction is completely watertight and its exterior is made of stainless steel.

Slicing bagels and chopping vegetables for kabobs are just two of the many tasks that necessitate the use of a portable knife set, which makes it an ideal present for the person in charge of preparing meals at the campsite. The Outdoors Knife Set comes with a dishcloth, a bottle of dish soap, and a paring knife that is 4 inches long, a chef's knife that is 6 inches long, and a serrated knife that is also 6 inches long. Because it comes in a handy small carry bag, you will also be able to keep everything organized.

44. Dutch Oven

The Camp Dutch Oven is a fantastic present for anyone who enjoys being outdoors and will help you make the most of your camping kitchen. When you go vehicle camping, cooking over a fire is a fun and unique way to prepare meals. Whether you want to make stews, casseroles, or cobblers, this dutch oven with a capacity of 5 quarts opens you a world of possibilities.

45. Kitchen Sink

Cleaning up at camp is made much simpler and more effective with the use of a dish bucket or sink. When it is empty, this camp sink folds down into a compact size for simple storage, but once it is filled with water, it stands on its own. It also features two handles for convenient carrying and is available in two different capacities: 10 liters and 20 liters. When getting rid of dishwater, just be sure to use dish soap that breaks down naturally and adhere to the Leave No Trace rules.
