Despite that, there are still some items that have the ability to enhance their outdoor adventures that much more. Coming from someone who loves travel and the outdoors, these gifts are sure to be a hit. Enjoy!

Rumpl Outdoor Blanket
The Rumpl Puffy Blanket is a high performance indoor/outdoor blanket that provides optimal warmth in a variety of conditions and climates.
It’s meant to handle the outdoors, meaning it’s lightweight, durable, waterproof and resistant to odors, stains, and pet hair. How is it so warm? It’s made of the ultra-warm synthetic materials found in premium sleeping bags and insulated puffy jackets.

If you need battery life for any reason on your hiking or camping trip, this foldable portable solar charger is a powerhouse of a tool to have with you. It’s slim, lightweight, easy to pack, and is able to power up everything from a phone to even a laptop.

Photo Lens Kit
There are a lot of amazing sights to capture outdoors, and your phone camera can only go so far. Why carry around a bulky and extremely pricey digital camera which can be lost or broken? This 4-in-1 cell phone camera lens kit is super compact and has everything you need to mimic those DSLR shots. The telephoto lens takes great long-distance shots; and the Fisheye, Macro, and wide-angle lenses are fun closer shot lenses.

Joby GorillaPod
My photography life changed for the better after I discovered this genius tripod. It easily attaches to different objects, so you can shoot photos from the side of a balcony or hanging off a tree. It’s bendy so packing it with you will be a breeze. Works with GoPro’s too!
Flip Belt
Thief proof! I used a Flip Belt whenever I’m out exploring, and it doubles as a running belt. This thing doesn’t budge or jiggle at all when running, plus it’s super comfortable!
Jetboil Flash Cooking System
This is Jetboil’s fastest-ever stove, a backcountry cooking system that cuts a full minute off of Jetboil’s best boil time. I personally love whipping my Jetboil out while camping to boil water in under 1 minute.
Fjallraven Kanken Mini
A super iconic backpack that any outdoor lover would be happy to get their hands on! This is the perfect mini travel backpack, sized to fit water, snacks, phone, and a travel camera.

Foxelli USB Rechargeable Headlamp Flashlight
A headlamp is whatever, but a headlamp that is rechargeable by USB? Super cool. This model is a lot brighter than their cheaper version and provides 100 hours of constant light (as opposed to 30 hours for their cheaper model).
