28 Best Outdoor Gifts for Women Who Love Adventure

Smartwool Base Layers

Perfect for adding extra warmth while hiking, backpacking, or skiing, Smartwool base layers are moisture-wicking, comfy (no itchy wool here!), and slim-fitted enough to wear under other clothes without feeling restrictive.

Deuter Speed Lite 22L Women’s Daypack

This durable Deuter daypack is perfect for women who enjoy hiking! The main compartment has plenty of room for extra layers, snacks, and a hydration reservoir, a structured hip belt (with pockets!) helps carry the load, and the ventilated back panel helps with breathability.

Blundstone Chelsea Boots

These rugged-yet-comfortable Blundstone Chelsea boots can take a beating around camp and still look great walking around town. They also make an insulated version which I personally own and love.

United By Blue Pom Beanie

One can never have too many beanies! This cute and cozy United By Blue beanie would be perfect around the campsite, on the trail, or hanging around a backyard fire pit.

Pendleton Yakima Camp Blanket

I received a Pendleton blanket a few years back and it has accompanied me on many camping trips since. The Yakima Camp Blanket is made from a wool-cotton blend, so it carries the warmth of wool while still feeling soft.

Camping Slippers

I hate having cold feet while we’re camping (or any time!), which is why a pair of cozy slippers with sturdy soles are a must at the campsite.

Patagonia Better Sweater Quarter Zip

This cozy pullover is stylish enough to wear around town, while still being totally functional to wear at a campsite. It’s made of recycled materials and is Fair Trade Certified.

Peak Design Capture Camera Clip

A great gift for a shutterbug, this clever camera clip attaches your camera to any backpack strap so that it remains accessible and easy to carry on hikes.

AeroPress Travel Press

The Aeropress Travel Press is an ideal gift for a coffee lover on the go! Aeropress took its classic coffee maker design and remade it to fit into a compact, travel/hiking/camping friendly package—it all fits together into a cup with a lid (that also stores the filters!).

prAna Becksa Leggings

If you’re wondering “Does she really need another pair of leggings?” let me tell you, the answer is probably yes! The Becksa leggings from are prAna are perfect for everything from yoga to hiking, offer UPF 50+ sun protection, and are Fair Trade Certified.

Wool Hiking Socks

Help keep her feet happy with a pair of wool hiking socks! There are a ton of options, but FITS and Darn Tough (pictured) are our recommended brands. FITS are the most comfortable, but Darn Tough has an awesome lifetime guarantee (and yes, we’ve tested it out a few times!)

COSORI Dehydrator

A dehydrator would be an awesome gift for anyone who is interested in making their own backpacking/camping food, jerkies, and fruit leathers. This one from COSORI is made of stainless steel and is SO quiet. Of all the dehydrators we’ve tried, this one is my favorite!

Nomadix Quick Dry Towel

The Nomadix quick drying towels are great to have on camping trips, or to roll up and carry on a hike in case there is a lake to jump into! We love that these towels are made of recycled water bottles, and they come in a bunch of fun National Parks designs.

Insulated Wine Glasses

This is a fun gift for the wine (or cocktail!) lover. These insulated wine glasses will keep her drink cold, and are non-breakable, so they are great for tossing into a backpack or camping gear box. Yeti and Hydro Flask both make great options, and Hydro Flask also makes an insulated wine bottle to complete the set.

Sunski Polarized Sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses are a must for anyone who spends a lot of time in the sun. These Sunski polarized sunglasses made from recycled plastic are stylish, durable, and backed by a lifetime warranty so she’ll never have to worry about bringing them on any adventure!

Vuori Halo Hoodie 

This hoodie is absolutely AMAZING. The buttery soft, moisture-wicking, breathable fabric is a dream to wear (I’ve basically lived in it since buying this). This pullover is a perfect mid-layer for shoulder-season day hikes.

Deuter Kid Comfort Child Carrier

If you have a new mom or a mom-to-be on your gift list, help them stay outdoors and active with the Kid Comfort Active Child Carrier. This top-of-the-line child carrier is designed for the comfort and safety of both the child and hiker. It comes in a women’s specific fit (pictured) and a unisex option with an easily adjustable torso length so that she can share the load!

Sorel Explorer Joan Boots

These waterproof, insulated, fleece-lined Sorel boots are super cute and would be perfect for walking around in slushy winter weather. They even have a rubberized outsole to help with grip.

Buff CoolNet UV+

A neck gaiter, a headband, a mask, a balaclava… there are a dozen different ways to use a buff! This one is made of cooling, UPF fabric for added protection.

Rite in the Rain Outdoor Journal

This waterproof journal is a fun stocking stuffer idea. It’s made with coated paper that repels water, mud, dirt, and can be used in any weather and on any adventure!

Ursa Major Skin Products

Long days playing outside can leave skin feeling wrecked, so Ursa Major’s natural, plant-based skin products would be a welcomed gift to any outdoorsy gal! Their Golden Hour Recovery Cream is great for rehydrating dry skin, or their 4-1 Essential Face Wipes (pictured) are perfect for stashing in daypacks or gym bags for a face refresh after a hike or bike ride.

REI Trail 2 Waistpack

On short excursions where a full daypack isn’t needed, this Trail 2 Waistpack is great for storing keys, a wallet, snacks, and other small essentials. It comes in a few different fun patterns and in solid colors as well.

Cotopaxi Fuego Down Vest

The Fuego Down Vest from Cotopaxi is made with 800 fill RDS water-resistant down and has a DWR coating so it’s a great layer for all sorts of cool weather adventures. I love the fun color blocking, too!

USB Camp Lights

Strung up in the trees around the campfire, over the picnic table, or in the tent, these LED twinkle lights are a super fun gift that will brighten up her next camping trip.

Vuori Clementine Shorts

Vouri’s Clementine shorts are my personal favorites for hiking, running, and water sports because they are lightweight and super quick to dry. They also come in a longer, 4” inseam size. These would be a great addition to any outdoorsy woman’s closet.

ENO SingleNest Hammock

Give her the gift of relaxation with this ENO Hammock! Who wouldn’t love a place to kick up her feet with a book or a good podcast? This is perfect to take camping, or just string up in the backyard.

Ignik Heated Sleeping Bag Liner

I didn’t even know this was missing from my camping gear until researching this gift guide! This heated sleeping bag liner claims to add 20F to your sleeping bag and heats via 12v or USB battery. I haven’t tried it personally, but it seems like a cozy idea for women who enjoy camping but sleep on the cold side.

America the Beautiful Pass  – National Parks

Products can be nice, but meaningful experiences will last a lifetime. Give the gift of an entire year of adventure that she’ll remember for years to come with the America the Beautiful (National Parks) Pass. Just one pass gets you into every National Park & Monument, as well as National Forests, Grasslands, and plenty of other recreation sites across the country.
