Gift Guides

Looking for the perfect outdoorsy gifts for the folks in your life who love to hike and play outside? We get it; we can be a tough bunch to shop for and tend to be particular about the clothing and gear we use. That goes double for those of us who make sustainability a priority. So we made it easy for you by rounding up 10 stellar gifts for outdoor lovers that we’ve personally used and would recommend to our own friends and family.

There are so many gift guides out there. Heck, we publish several every year–which you should definitely go check out if you’ll be buying for an outdoorsy loved one this year. But in our opinion, there aren’t enough anti gift guides floating around the internet these days. So we decided to make one. Here are 10 gifts to skip this year if you’re shopping for an outdoor lover.

If there’s a trail runner in your life, you should know right now that you can’t just slap a bow on any ol’ running gear and call it a present. Gifts for trail runners need to do more, be more. Because trail runners need more layers, more insulation, more tread, more clothing and gear that stands up to the elements and the harsh conditions (and surfaces) found in the great outdoors. So if you really want to wow ’em, get them one of these gifts for trail runners, no matter what you’re celebrating this season.
