The ultimate gift guide for outdoorsmen? Right here.
Shopping for the outdoorsy men in your life isn't always easy, but we've weighed in with our favorite gear and gadgets that make great gifts this year. As you consider what outdoor gifts to buy for him, keep in mind lifestyle and personal preference. If backpacking is his hobby, we've got plenty of hiking gifts to choose from. A high-quality hiking pack makes a thoughtful gift, perfect for carrying everything from extra t-shirts and a heavy-duty flannel shirt to a charger for the fireside Bluetooth speaker to a rechargeable headlamp. Add a bottle opener, camping stove, and camping chair to DIY an outdoorsy guy relaxation gift set.
If dad's always handy around the house, go with a multitool, stainless steel water bottle, or thermos that's super convenient while on the move. Consider Black Friday backpack deals for gear that can store anything from hiking boots to a hammock without adding extra bulk. Take our gear kayaking or for a long day on the local trails.
Can confirm: camping trip essentials make the perfect gift.
The best gifts for campers can be anything from stocking stuffers to big-ticket items like a new winter jacket. Browse Black Friday men's winter jackets to find the right fit for him with all the functionality he needs on road trips, trail hikes, and even just running errands. Plus, campers and hikers alike can never have too many carabiners, right?
A new sleeping bag and sleeping pad paired with a wilderness survival book is another unique gift made for outdoor adventures. Camping gear makes a great Christmas gift for the guy who planned to explore cold trails or national parks. As temperatures drop, browse men's jackets and other winter gifts for ultralight cold-weather outdoor gear that's water-resistant and ideal for the backcountry. Our recommendation? Slip in a couple of hand warmers and a beanie into the pockets; it gets cold out there.
Homebodies get our best gift-giving efforts too
If your husband's idea of the Great Outdoors is hanging out in the backyard, don't worry. We've got the best gift ideas for him too. He can keep breaking out the craft beer and grill tools for a BBQ night into the fall with our hoodie deals that can keep him warm for less. Browse our joggers for the perfect lounge-at-home pants (or workout pants, if getting trimmer is on his New Year's resolution list). Kick it up a notch and fill a gift box or duffel bag with personalized gifts for him: conditioner and skincare products for the self-care king or a yeti, earbuds, and temperature control athletic wear for the gym enthusiast. From exploring the Big Apple in New York to taking at-home life to the next level, we can take to the cities just as easily as the backwoods.
If you're still stuck on holiday shopping, give him the gift of choice with a gift card. That way, he can pick his own best sellers, and you can rest easy. Plus, it's an ideal last-minute gift, with no shipping time. Talk about the perfect combo, right?
