Gifts We Love for the Outdoor Enthusiast

Equip any outdoor lover with the gear they need for a great time in nature with these gifts at every price point.

I love any excuse to get outside — here in South Florida, that usually means hitting the beach, kayaking through mangroves, or gardening in the backyard with my husband. In fact, our honeymoon was actually a hiking trip through Utah’s national parks. (You can explore even more U.S. honeymoon destinations in this blog post.) As you can probably guess, we registered for quite a few outdoor-related gifts when we got married.

Sound familiar? Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast yourself or you know a couple who can’t get enough adventure in their life, there are so many great gifts out there to fuel your time in the great outdoors. Get inspired for your own registry or find the perfect item to celebrate another couple with these gifts we love.

Outdoor Enthusiast Gifts $25 and Under

Keep the great outdoors bug-free with a handy, portable mosquito repeller!

Portable Mosquito Repeller

Mosquitos can ruin even the best day outdoors. This portable repeller surrounds you with an invisible barrier that’s scentless, silent, and DEET-free. Each cartridge lasts 12 hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a mosquito-free outdoor adventure.

Staying safe is the name of the game for any outdoor enthusiast, so a first aid kit is a must-have.

Day Hiker First Aid Kit

The only thing worse than mosquito bites is getting injured on an adventure. From sprains and blisters to cuts and scrapes, this kit includes everything you need to stay safe outside. Plus, the portable design makes it easy to stow away.

You never know what the elements will bring when you’re spending time in nature, so keep an absorbent, quick-drying towel on hand.

Quick-Dry Towel

Who knows where adventure might lead you? If there’s a chance of getting wet, make sure you’ve got a quick-drying towel on hand in the car or in your adventure bag so you don’t have to forgo jumping into that insanely blue water — wherever it might be.

Outdoor Enthusiast Gifts From $26–$50

From the backyard to the campground, a hammock is every outdoor enthusiast’s reward for a day of adventure.

Hammock

Who says enjoying the outdoors needs to involve exertion? One of my favorite ways to spend time outside is in a hammock with a good book. This classic design easily hangs between trees or posts and sports a comfortable cotton rope design you won’t want to get up from.

A bird feeder is a fun way to share your outdoor space with your feathery neighbors.

One of the best parts of spending time outside is the wildlife — even in your own backyard! This birdhouse-style feeder is a great way to guarantee regular visits from the feathery, winged creatures in your neighborhood.

Never worry about going without water — as long as you’ve got your LifeStraw adapter, hydration is always within reach.

LifeStraw Universal Water Bottle Adapter Kit

LifeStraw filters make natural water sources safe to drink from with a 2-stage design that uses a carbon filter to eliminate impurities and dangerous bacteria. This adapter easily fits onto most water bottles so you’ll always have a safe sip within reach no matter where you wind up.

Create instant shelter anywhere with a pop-up canopy that’s perfect for picnics, beach trips, and more outdoor fun.

Pop-Up Canopy

I love spending time in the sun as much as anyone else, but sometimes it can be downright sweltering to sit in direct sunlight. A collapsible canopy easily folds up for easy storage and transport, giving you more chances to enjoy the sunny outdoors without melting completely.

Give any outdoor enthusiast a new perspective with a pair of high-powered binoculars.

10x Binoculars

Speaking of taking in the beauty of the great outdoors, a good set of binoculars are an asset to anyone who enjoys an adventure. This pair magnifies up to ten times and features one of the widest views available, meaning you can enjoy even more of the places you love.

A kayak is a fun way to get close to the great outdoors — and a perfect gift for anyone who lives by the water!

Kayak

Sure, boats are great — but there’s something special about being able to navigate the narrow rivers and spots that can only be accessed by kayak. This sit-on-top model is equipped with storage trays and cup holders, as well as a paddle rest for when you want to take it all in.

Get an adventure and a workout in when you’ve got a stand-up paddleboard on hand.

Stand-Up Paddleboard

Paddleboarding is another fun water activity that secretly doubles as a workout! Get out on calm waters while you listen to your favorite tunes through the integrated universal device mount. This model also features a recessed tail-kick design that makes sharp turns easy to navigate.

An SUV tent is worth the splurge when you’re gifting a true outdoor enthusiast!

SUV Tent

I’ve spent a fair share of nights attempting to sleep in the car before a days-long hiking trip — and let me tell you, I preferred sleeping on the ground in the days to follow. Save yourself the discomfort and add an SUV-mounted tent to your outdoor supply list. You (and your back) won’t regret it.

Brittney spent the majority of her teenage and college years swearing she’d never get married. Then she met a man who changed all of that, and they’ve been happily sharing their lives since 2011. She and her husband Grant got married in 2018, which has given her a whole new perspective on this whole wedding business.
