Fuel their internal campfire with any of these thoughtful outdoor gifts. You’re sure to earn some serious love and kudos, and definitely an invite to test out the new gear.
evrgrn Crash Sack
Imagine the biggest puffy jacket you could own doubling as a legit sleeping bag. Meet evrgrn’s Crash Sack, a wearable sleeping bag that just wants to be chilled in.
Besides the convenience of arm holes and a removable bottom, this bag’s synthetic insulation will keep you warm in temps down to 45°F. Interior pockets keep phones, snacks and other essentials close by; we found out the hard way, though, that those aren’t a good place to store s’mores for later.
Getting out of the tent for morning coffee just got a lot easier.
Sawyer Mini Water Filter
It’s like a magic wand for water. One of the lightest, most compact filters available (and perfectly stocking-sized!), the Mini transforms water into drinkable water.
The innovating science and design packed into this palm-sized filter allows the camper in your life to drink with it like a straw straight from streams or lakes. For hydration on the go, the filter will also thread right onto most bottles of water found at your grocery store or the included 16 fluid ounces reusable pouch.
“But… germs!” We’re glad you’re concerned, but fear not. The 0.1-micron filter physically removes 99.99999% of all bacteria, such as salmonella, cholera, and E.coli, so drink up!

Pendleton Yakima Camp Blanket
Gifting a blanket has never been this cool. This ain’t your grandma’s quilt. The Yakima Camp Blanket is inspired by the blankets cowboys carried on the back of their saddles and unrolled to make camp after a long day on the range. Rugged enough for the campground, but also living-room-fort-practical, this American-made blanket provides a generous layer of warmth wherever they set up camp.
It’s the high quality you expect from Pendleton—a versatile choice for a chic camp lover. The twin size provides plenty of coverage for two snuggling by the campfire or double the warmth for one.
Eno DoubleNest Hammock
Give ‘em something they’ll love to use. This super-popular hammock from ENO will do the trick. This is a gift you can count on being used time and time again.
Lightweight and compact enough for backpacking, yet robust enough for chilling in camp or the backyard, the DoubleNest Hammock sets up in seconds between two trees or other anchors and has plenty of room for two. But… how light? Glad you asked. Made of breathable woven nylon, this hammock packs to the size of a grapefruit, making it perfectly packable for the next great adventure.
The included lightweight aluminum wiregate carabiners can be clipped to any solid anchor points. Available in a whole spectrum of colors.
Black Diamond Spot Headlamp
Here’s a bright idea: Give the camper in your life a better look at nature with the fully featured Black Diamond Spot Headlamp.
The redesigned Spot offers PowerTap tech for on-the-fly brightness adjustments in any weather. It easily transitions between full and dimmed power, so your camper can find their way to the outhouse whether it’s dusk or midnight.
With the power of 200 lumens, the Spot will illuminate any late-night hike or exploration. The red night-vision mode is easier on the eyes.
For the artsy or photography-loving camper, you could suggest on your gift tag that they try light painting next time they take their Spot for a spin.
Shop from six different colors.
REI Quarter Dome 2 Tent
Wherever the trail ends, our Quarter Dome 2 Tent will be there, too. Kick off the boots and enjoy the surroundings from inside our Quarter Dome 2 tent.
Perfect for multi-day trips, this lightweight 2-person, 3-season tent is roomy, well ventilated and strong. It uses new ultralight materials and a unique pole design that take the hard part out of tent pitching. This tent’s super-easy setup makes getting to s’mores a whole lot quicker.
And weighing in at only 3 lbs. 15 oz., this is a tent that proves big things come in small packages.
YETI Hopper 20 Cooler
Making it to camp was the easy part. Keeping the beer cold for the post-hike refresh, though? That’s a job for the Hopper Cooler from YETI.
As you’d expect from any YETI product, the Hopper is made of serious materials that put all other soft coolers to shame. The DryHide thermoplastic urethane shell is similar to that used on whitewater rafts, providing superior leakproof durability. Additionally, the ColdCell insulation is 1″ thick on the sides and 1.5″. thick on the bottom, able to keep at least 12 cans ice-cold for days. Yes, days.
Take it to the campground, a concert, or even the movies, if you’re sneaky enough.
REI Gift Card
Stuff your campers’ stockings with exactly what they want—an REI Gift Card will do the trick.
Gift cards are historically the “not-thoughtful gift” of the holidays. We’d like to argue the contrary. Imagine knowing exactly what gear they want, in what color, and what adventure they’ll take it on. Even though you might not know these things, they of course will, and giving them a gift card to REI will let them have it.
