It’s an opportunity to throw practicality out the window and find something so offbeat, clever, or downright whimsical that they’d never think to buy it themselves.
That’s what makes shopping for them so fun. Consider it your chance to give something unexpected, such as the 12 gifts below. They might have all the gear, but have they ever made their own gear?
When the weather is crappy and the daylight wanes, this DIY zipper pouch is just the thing to keep them busy. Ripstop by the Roll provides the Dyneema fabric, YKK coil zipper and slider, and drawcord (thread not included), and it’s up to them to put everything together. For the nature lover who always points out the tiniest alpine flowers on hikes, this pocket-sized notebook for pressing botanical treasures is the perfect stocking stuffer.
The cream-colored pages fold accordion-style for a double layer so moisture doesn’t leak through, and a tight elastic band wraps around the whole journal for secure compression. Who knew a triangle of fabric could be so versatile? Made from Polartec Alpha microfleece, this scarf is cozy enough to boost warmth but slim enough to slide under layers on the coldest days.
It’s wide enough to wrap multiple times around the neck, or once around the shoulders or head. The edges are bound in one of Skida’s signature patterns—leopard print or florals—for a subtle boost of personality. After a six-year hiatus, your climbing-obsessed loved one will be delighted to know this beloved magnetic locking carabiner is in production again.
Unlike locking carabiners that require users to twist a screw tight, the Magnetron locks automatically when the gate is closed. The first rerun sold out, but restocks arrived just in time for gifting season. Published in 2025, this gorgeous coffee table book presents magazines, catalogs, and other printed materials from the past 100 years of the outdoor industry.
