If you do, here are my 11 Christmas Gift Ideas for the Outdoor Adventurer 2019!!!
Pin it 11 Christmas Gift Ideas for The Outdoor Adventurer and read it later
1. EcoSmart Fleece Hooded Sweatshirt to keep you warm.
I love sweatshirts, especially fleece ones for the cold, cold nights! They aren’t heavy and so soft! Honestly, they are one of the best things to wear whenever possible.
The Hanes Men’s Pullover EcoSmart Fleece Hooded Sweatshirt is a soft, durable fleece with double-needle cover-seamed neck and armholes that stays strong whether you work or play hard.
What I love about it is, it is made with up to 5% polyester created from recycled plastic bottles. #GoGreen, It comes in multiple colors, numerous sizes and bloody affordable!
A practical gift for anyone!
2. Compression Socks, a must for every outdoor adventurer!
If you didn’t know, compressions socks maximize muscle oxygenation and boost energy with scientifically optimized, compression technology for all-day benefits. They provide better circulation and encourage stronger muscles and healthy joints. With extra support for the ankle and heel arch support for the rest of the foot, they reduce injury, swelling, and fatigue.
Personally, I suffered from plantar fasciitis in both my feet for 2 years between 2014 & 2017 and during that time, the only thing that really helped relieve the pain was the compression socks.
I would get them even if you weren’t an outdoor adventurer - they come in handy on long haul flights or journeys as well.
3. A Watch Hat
A classic. You’ll reach for it every time the wind gets blustery and the temperatures drop. Not only warm but comfortable, too. Made of 100 percent acrylic rib-knit fabric, stretchable, one-size-fits-all, fits most any noggin.
4. Camping Hammock to rest your tired feet
The Wise Owl Hammock comes with superior quality at an affordable cost. The single hammock is 9 feet long and 4.5 feet wide while the is 10 feet and 6.5 feet wide- spacious right? Both come with attached carry bags and weight 22.5oz and 28.5oz respectively.
Tree straps & carabiners are included with this hammock making set up a breeze. So, no need to tie any knots. #whew
5. The Classic Victorinox Swiss Army
I got my first army knife when I was 14 and boy did I love having it around! Can’t count the number of times it came in handy! It is the perfect coming of age gift.
Compact enough to fit in your pocket or hook to your key fob, the 2¼” Classic SD is the epitome of a Swiss Army Knife; functional, versatile and always there when you need it.
Featuring 7 popular implements, stainless steel construction and Swiss-Made precision, the Classic SD is the perfect companion for everyone. Functional enough to save the day, this handy little tool is the perfect sidekick you’ll never want to leave home without.
6. Survival Bracelet
Not a fan of the Swiss? Then check out the K2 Peak Survival Bracelet from AS2 Protection.
K2-peak is a complete paracord survival bracelet. Disaster Preparedness/ Emergency Kit that includes: High-Quality Compass, Flint Fire Starter, and Fire Scrapper (also use it as an Emergency Knife). The Emergency Whistle creates noise levels of up to 100db. It comes with a useful leaflet with instructions, survival tips & ideas.
Available in a wide range of colors, and made from ultra-strong, military-grade 550 Parachute Cord.
Survival Kit - check. Fashion Accessory - double-check.
7. Silicone Wedding Ring Cover
I stopped wearing my wedding ring 3 months after we got married, not because we split up but because it just got in the way when you use your hands a lot. My wife, on the other hand, refuses to take it off for anything!
The Groove Life Silicone Wedding Ring for Women is perfect for those who still want to wear their ring but afraid they may lose or damage their original wedding ring. The medical-grade silicone keeps your ring flexible while maintaining durability that other silicone rings simply can’t compete with!!
With the No BS Warranty means you’re backed for LIFE. Cut it? Stretch it? Break it? Lose it? they will replace it, no questions asked! How fab is that?
8. Credit Card Knife Wallet Tool
The Adventure Guys multi-tool wallet is the perfect travel companion for men & women young and not so young!
Take it hiking, camping, fishing, backpacking or on any outdoor adventure.
It’s also equally impressive and handy around the house and office. Sure, the big tool kit in the garage is great for major fixes, but you’ll find yourself using your pocket multi-tool as a quick and handy problem-solver for the little stuff all the time!
The cleverly designed our survival card tool to slide into a wallet, purse, glove box, backpack or pocket.
9. Coffee Mug
As a fan of both the Star Wars franchise and the great outdoors, this cup made my day.
Their designs are permanently sublimated onto the mugs, so that means NO vinyl or stickers are used (so they don’t look tacky)! The mugs are both microwave and dishwasher safe as well.
Very rarely will you find mugs with the designs printed on both sides of the mug, which is not the case here! Hence, it a great option for left or right-handed use.
Foxy Mug mugs are custom created in their studio in beautiful Newport Beach, California. They take great pride in the fact that their mugs are designed, produced and packaged by them and not outsourced to China!
10. Marshmallow Cooker and Hot Dog Roasting Sticks
Warning: This item is NSFW or maybe it is. It really depends on where you work but it does give you a good laugh!
These hilarious roasting sticks are 25 inches long and are made with 16 grade A steel. These are perfect for any outdoor event with a campfire. They sell in sets of two, one boy and one girl!
To keep them in good condition just put a little cooking oil on them and it will keep them from rusting. Great way to keep the fire burning!
11. National Geographic’s 50 States, 5,000 Ideas
This is for those hardcore outdoor adventurers and record setters!
This richly illustrated book from the travel experts at National Geographic showcases the best travel experiences in every state, from the obvious to the unexpected. Sites include national parks, beaches, hotels, Civil War battlefields, dude ranches, out-of-the-way museums, and more.
You’ll discover the world’s longest yard sale in Tennessee, swamp tours in Louisiana, dinosaur trails in Colorado, America’s oldest street in NYC, and the best spot to watch for sea otters on the central California coast. Each entry provides detailed travel information as well as fascinating facts about each state that will help fuel your wanderlust and ensure the best vacation possible.
In addition to 50 states in the U.S., the book includes a section on the Canadian provinces and territories if you want to visit the neighbors up north!
