Gift ideas for Outdoor Adventurers

Christmas gift ideas for outdoor adventurers

As we approach another festive season, I have presents on my mind. I’m on a constant pursuit to find the perfect gift for the people I care about and really dislike the idea of giving gifts that are mass produced and have little meaning or sentimental value behind them.

Unfortunately, my organisation skills mean that I frequently end up on a frantic last minute dash to the shops a few days before Christmas and I end up with exactly that.

Online retailer Uncommon Goods solves this problem in so many ways. Uncommon Goods focuses on selling creatively designed products by independent makers from around the world.

The other things I love about Uncommon Goods is their emphasis on social responsibility. The company is both committed to environmental sustainability as well as giving back to the community through their Better to Give program.

I had a ball trolling through the thousands of  unique products  on the site and reading about the stories behind each product. There’s something to suit every budget and taste.

You can search for gifts by theme such as Christmas Gifts for Teens, or Gifts for Friends to narrow down the search.

Here are a few of my picks for outdoor adventurers, but take a look at the site and I’m sure that you’ll find the ideal Christmas Gift Idea to suit anyone in your life.

Adventure Blanket

Adventure Blanket

It’s a blanket, poncho, pillow and your perfect companion on any outdoor adventure. The adventure blanket is made from repurposed brushed nylon flannel on top and repurposed nylon ripstop on bottom which makes it both water resistant and lightweight. It even includes a zippered pouch for valuables and a detachable hood and connectable snaps to turn it into a poncho if the weather turns bad weather.
