Outdoor Clothing
First up on the list of gifts for outdoorsy women: outdoor clothes! Weather they love hiking, climbing, camping, biking, etc, they can always use some more clothes to wear outside.
Hiking Pants– Every woman needs a good pair (or five) of hiking pants. I personally love these from Amazon, they come in over 10 different colors, and have multiple pockets to keep your hands free while hiking.
Hiking Boots- A good hiking boot is a staple in a hikers wardrobe. I personally wear the Columbia Newton Ridge boots and I love them! They are comfortable and water proof with ankle support and traction for all hikes. Plus they don’t break the bank.
UV Hiking Shirts- A good shirt for long hikes are quick dry and made from a breathable material. Bonus points if they are UV protection to protect your skin from harmful rays. I have three of these from amazon and love them! They also make great base layers for those winter hikes.
Hiking shorts– same as hiking pants, I don’t think you can have too many pairs of hiking shorts. These Afitne shorts are quick dry, long enough so you don’t feel like they ride up every 5 minutes, and have zipper pockets to keep all items secure.
Light Weight Rain Coat– Every hiker should keep a raincoat in their backpack in case they encounter rain. Weather on a mountain can change quickly so it’s best to always be prepared!
Beanie– A good beanie is essential for winter/fall hikes to keep your head warm and heat in!
Flannel Jacket– Not necessarily something she’ll be wearing hiking but a flannel jacket is cute and practical for granola girls!
National Park T-Shirts– I’ve had this T-shirt for years and I wear it all the time! It very cute and the material is super soft.
Outdoor Gear
Next up on the lift is outdoor gear! The proper gears keeps them safe and comfortable while exploring.
Hiking Poles- Collapsible hiking sticks are a must for people hiking either long distances or gaining elevation. They help with stabilization and transferring some of the impact from your knees to the poles.
Water Bladder- on long hikes I prefer to have a water bladder so I can keep my hands free and have enough water. I recently purchased a water bladder that opened from the top instead of the traditional ones that open from the middle. This has been a game changer, so much easier to clean and fill/empty it!
Hiking Bookbag- A good hiking backpack is essential for hikers. A good one is water resistant, lightweight, has padding for comfort, and straps to help evenly distribute its weight. The Teton Sport backpack checks off all of these, plus includes a 3L water bladder.
Water Bottle- when I’m doing a short and easy trail and know I won’t need as much water, I like to just bring a water bottle. I love my Stanley water bottle, but not the traditionally one that went viral-the one with the handle on the top. This water bottle is so easy to carry and leak proof.
Hammock- You can’t go wrong with gifting a hammock to a outdoor lover. There is nothing better than sitting in a hammock and reading a good book while enjoying some fresh air. This hammock from Amazon is my favorite because it folds up nicely and comes with interlocking straps that make it easy to setup!
Outdoor Blanket- Outdoor blankets are great to keep in your car so you’re always ready for a picnic or to chill outside. Two great options: KingCamp Outdoor Blanket is a thicker material and can also be used as a regular blanket to keep you warm. Or this light weight blanket, which is perfect to use at the beach or summer days where a thin blanket will suffice.
Stocking Stuffers
A few small things that make the perfect stocking stuffers for nature loving women.
ChapStick– I think everyone can use chapstick, I personally have a car chapstick, a bookbag chapstick, and a bedside chapstick. Maybe that’s just me but I don’t think you can ever have too many. I also have a chapstick in my hiking bookbag because there is nothing worse than having sun burned/chapped lips half way through your hike!
Stickers- A pack of outdoor stickers is perfect for stocking stuffers. She can use them for her water bottle, laptop, car, etc!
Cute Socks– who can resist a cute pair of “I’d rather be hiking socks”?
Lanyard- If my keys aren’t on a lanyard I will lose them pretty fast. These wrist lanyards are really cute with lots of design options, my favorite is the trees.
Other Outdoor Gifts
Last on the list, we have some other outdoorsy gifts the women on your list are sure to love!
Roaming America Book– This book gives you all the national parks in America and provides useful information for planning your trip, suggested itineraries, and some personal stories from the author.
Wall Décor- These National Park posters are extremely cute and would be the perfect gift for someone looking to decorate their walls. A National Park Scratch Off Map would be perfect for someone who loves national parks and wants to visit them all! Not a national park lover? You could get them travel wall art of beautiful outdoor landscapes!
Mountain Necklace– Does your friend wear jewelry? If so this necklace is a perfect gift for her! Its simple, but very cute, and gives you multiple different styles and colors to personalize it.
Mug- You can’t go wrong with a cute outdoorsy mug. I personally have more mugs that I need but I can’t resist a new cute mug. These ceramic coffee mug come in 10 different outdoor designs.
National Park Wrapping Park- I couldn’t find any online to link but last year my dad bought national park wrapping paper from Tractor Supply and it was the cutest thing! Obviously this isn’t a gift for her, but a nice touch if you wanted to go an extra step.
Outdoor Gifts for Nature Lovers
A lot of outdoorsy women I know (including myself) don’t necessary want a lot of material things because we’d rather be spending our time outside. However, I always find myself wanting a few more hiking outfits to choose from, needing more socks, or wanting a few cute misc. things for around the house. For the outdoorsy women in your life, it’s usually good to get a mix of practical items and cute outdoor themed items as well.
