Gifts For Outdoorsy Women Under $30
Looking for a great stocking stuffer or have a small budget? These gifts are affordable but still show that you care about the outdoorsy woman in your life!
1. Bandana For a Hot Girl Hike
Nothing makes me feel cuter than a bandana moment. This is a great option for a stocking stuffer or if you are in the early stages of dating!
The woman in your life can pair this with a fun hiking fit or jeans + a T-shirt. I love how an accessory like this really amps up your style.
2. Kula Cloth
I seriously could not live without my Kula Cloth. Once I discovered this product, it was a total game changer.
Peeing in the woods is never fun, but if you’ve perfected the art like me, you know it’s necessary when you’re on a longer hike. I hate drip drying (if you know you know) and this is a sanitary way to wipe.
It’s reusable (washer friendly!) and can clip to a pack to dry after going. If you hike with your lady often or you know she’d benefit from this, don’t hesitate! I lost mine in our move recently and I immediately repurchased.
Seems like a weird thing to buy someone but I swear she’ll be in love.
3. Appalachian Jules Candle (Support WNC Makers!!)
If you watch the news or spend time on social media, you’ll know that Hurricane Helene recently hit Western North Carolina. This unprecedented event left many local artists/makers scrambling as markets and events where they typically sell their goods were canceled.
Julia is such a nice person and her candles are INCREDIBLE. Truly these are some of the best smelling things my nose has ever experienced.
I ordered the Lemongrass & Green Tea and Apple & Spice scents, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. If you’re looking to shop small, this is such a great option!
4. Lonely Planet Epic Hikes Of The World Coffee Table Book
I purchased this book from a local store near the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington years ago. It’s inspired many past and future trips.
Some of my favorite inspirations from the book were the Abel Tasman Coast Track, The Alpine Pass Route, and The Skyline Trail – all on our Bucket List! The pictures alone make you want to book a trip asap.
Plus, it’s so aesthetically pleasing. If you think she’ll love another coffee table addition or reading about rad adventures across the globe, this is the perfect gift!
5. Courts General Store Survival Playing Cards
Playing cards make any camping or cabin trip better and these are not the boring standard cards you probably grew up using. The designs are so unique and every card has a survival tip which adds some flare to the experience.
My favorite games to play with these are War, President, and Old Maid. Sometimes all you need is a deck of cards and a campfire to have a good time.
6. Nemo Foam Seat Pad
No one loves sitting on the cold hard ground after a long hike. If you’re looking for a gift that’s practical and doesn’t break the bank, the Nemo Foam Seat Pad is the ideal gift.
Whether you’re waiting for your food to cook after a long day of backpacking or enjoying a well-earned view after hiking, this seat pad adds a little extra comfort.
The best part about this pad is that it’s incredibly lightweight and made from reclaimed materials. Nemo is a great brand to purchase from and I own a wide variety of their high-quality products.
7. Goodr Polarized Sun Glasses
Shopping for someone who loves to spend a lot of time in the sun or is rough on their belongings? The Goodr Polarized Sunglasses 100% fit the bill.
I purchased a pair of these from REI years ago because I was tired of ruining nicer pairs of sunglasses and I wanted something that could get beat up. I tend to throw my sunglasses in my hiking pack willy-nilly and needed a pair that was effective, but not too expensive.
These sunglasses have held up so well and they look really good. I get compliments on them all the time even though they are starting to peel on the sides (oops!). It’s probably time for me to replace them, but I won’t do that until they break.
8. Darn Tough Hiking Socks
I think these are the best hiking socks on the market and I know I’m not alone in that sentiment. Every outdoorsy girl needs a quality pair of socks (or many) that will hold up for years.
I own 7 pairs of Darn Tough socks and have yet to get a hole in them. The patterns are always so cute and I love the colors they use.
They come in different thickness levels so you can get some that are perfect for every season. On top of that, they are incredibly breathable and since they’re made of wool, they can be worn numerous times without getting too stinky (just let them air dry!).
Darn Tough also has a lifetime guarantee so really it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
9. National Parks Wonderland Puzzle
Puzzles are such a fun way to spend time together. If the outdoorsy woman in your life loves to get cozy at a cabin or appreciates some downtime inside, this might be just what you’re looking for!
The designs on the Parks Project puzzles are beautiful and perfect for framing once you’ve finished it.
I’m a big fan of doing puzzles during the holidays and sipping hot cocoa while seeing who can place the most pieces. The puzzle era is in, trust me.
10. Hydroflask Camp Mug
A durable camp mug is essential and I’m sure most outdoorsy women would agree! Hydroflask has never steered me wrong and I love their camp mug.
I’ve owned my hydroflask water bottle for years now and knew that the mug would be the perfect addition to my camp kit. I’ve dropped my water bottle a gazillion times and even though it has the bruises to show it, it still performs exceptionally well.
This mug is great on the go and keeps liquids at their desired temp for quite a while. I love having hot drinks in here like cider or hot cocoa after a cold day outside or chilling by the fire.
11. Nomadix Ultra Light Towel
Consider getting the outdoorsy woman in your life a Nomadix Towel if she loves the water. I take this towel with me on every waterfall hike, paddle adventure, or swimming excursion.
My husband and I own 6 Nomadix Towels. We purchased our first one years ago on a campervan trip in Utah and quickly became obsessed.
The towels are made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles and are really absorbent. They also have the coolest outdoor designs on them and dry much quicker than a normal towel.
I love both the original and ultra-light towel, but have a slight preference for the lighter version since it packs down so small for all of my outdoor adventures.
Gifts For Outdoorsy Women Under $100
Want something that packs a little more punch, but not looking to drain your bank account? These mid-range gifts are items that I am constantly wearing or reaching for!
12. Cotopaxi 5 Panel Hat
If your outdoorsy woman is a hat queen, then the Cotopaxi 5-panel hat will serve you well. I wear my 5-panel hat religiously and am considering getting a second one because I love the colors so much.
The reason I love this specific hat so much, and recommend it to everyone who asks, is that it fits so well and is so flattering. Additionally, it dries rather quickly which for a sweaty girl like me is always a bonus.
13. Cute Beanie From Etsy
Every outdoorsy woman needs a cozy beanie and what better than to support a small business owner on Esty?? This beanie hand hand-knit and the maker is from Ukraine.
I view this gift as a win-win. Help support someone currently experiencing war and also get a fantastic gift that the woman in your life will love! I can’t think of a better way to spend your money.
The quality of this beanie speaks for itself and the color selection is amazing. I adore the cornflower and olive colors.
14. Cozy Candle From Sparta Candle Co.
What’s better than snuggling up with a book and a cozy candle after a long day outside? Absolutely nothing.
Candles are always such a great gift and Spart Candle Co has a wide array of scents to choose from. They also went viral for their swiftie collection so if your lady loves Taylor Swift, you’re welcome.
15. Alltrails+ Pro Subscription
The app I use on every single hike is none other than Alltrails+. You can use the Alltrails app for free, but in order to download offline maps and make use of other advanced features you need to have a subscription.
I initially used the free version, but my husband and I were done dirty by too many trails and eventually chose to upgrade so we could make use of the offline maps.
Now, I download the map for every trail I’m doing and it has been a lifesaver on more than one occasion. We’re often in areas with limited service and when the trail becomes less obvious, I pull up the map and make sure we’re exactly where we need to be (or turn around if we’re not).
I also enjoy tracking all the hikes I’ve completed throughout the year on here and making lists of hikes I want to do in certain locations.
16. Landmark Project Hat
Nothing beats a cute hat to pair with your outfit. Especially if the woman you’re buying for doesn’t like to wash her hair every day.
Landmark Project has some of the coolest hats I’ve ever seen and I’m not just saying that because I know the owners. These hats have fun conservation phrases like “give a hoot don’t pollute” and “leave no trace” to help spread the word about taking care of the environment.
I’ve also toured the facility and it is such an awesome brand. They have donated over $1,000,000 to conservation efforts which I think is pretty rad. I love a purchase with a cause and I’m sure your gal will too!
17. Rachel Pohl Art Tank/Tee
Looking for a gift that stands out and adds a pop of color to your outdoorsy woman’s wardrobe? Rachel Pohl’s line of apparel is bursting with one-of-a-kind prints that make you feel so special.
I first started following Rachel’s art account two years ago and have now purchased 2 tanks, 2 tees, and a hat from her site. These are my go-to hiking tanks when I just want to feel good.
She draws all the designs herself and even though she’s now located in Norway, her items ship from the United States. I’ve never been disappointed with one of her products and they’re some of my favorite pieces in my closet.
18. Topo Designs Hydro Sling
Water bottle slings are trending and for good reason. Want to go for a long walk but don’t actually need a day pack? Queue the hydro sling!
I’ve loved using this for my daily walks at the local state park because I get thirsty easily, but I’m always within 10 minutes of my car so it doesn’t make sense to bring a full hiking pack.
This is also super handy for traveling or exploring a new town because you can operate hands-free while always having water available.
19. Stanely Tumbler
If your outdoorsy girl is perpetually dehydrated, then look no further. Who doesn’t love a cute water bottle that fits perfectly in your car?
I decided to purchase this water bottle a few years ago when I got sick of my hydro flask rolling around in my car. I still use it for hiking, but my Stanley is always the water bottle I choose for long road trips.
The 40 oz one is a must because you only need to fill it up twice to meet your daily water intake goals. Let’s work smarter, not harder ladies.
20. Stanley Classic Brew Pour Over Set
Where are my highly caffeinated girlies?? Nothing is more satisfying than a cute pour-over while camping or in the car before a morning hike.
Stanley’s pour-over set is so easy to bring along on any adventure and makes the perfect cup of coffee.
Treat your gal to a little bit of luxury while still enjoying the outdoors!
21. Nani Hybrid Uinta Shorts
Shopping for a woman who loves summer water sports? I legitimately live in these shorts during the summer and can’t recommend them enough.
They come with me on every paddle adventure and I always throw them in my hiking pack when I’m headed to a swimming hole. I don’t like getting my normal hiking shorts wet and these dry much faster.
22. REI Sahara Shade Hoodie
Every outdoorsy girl needs a sun hoodie and the Sahara Shade Hoodie from REI delivers. I always pack this when I know I’ll be in the sun all day and don’t want to bother slathering on sunscreen every 2 hours.
I find it’s most useful for long days on the trail when backpacking and when I’m on the water in full sun. It’s breathable, lightweight, and packable making it easy to bring along!
23. Patagonia Baggies
In case you haven’t seen them, Patagonia baggies are ICONIC. They are a staple for every outdoorsy woman.
I own the 5-inch baggies instead of the 3-inch. I prefer the longer version because I can wear them long or roll them to get a shorter fit if necessary.
The colorways for baggies are so cute and they are incredibly versatile. I reach for these whenever I go camping because I know they’ll come in handy.
24. Blenders Sunglasses
Active sunglasses are in! They are so trendy and cute. If your girl loves trail running or mountain biking, these are the perfect gift!
I bought my first pair of blenders a few years ago when I trained for a marathon. I love my other sunglasses but they didn’t perform as well when I was bouncing up and down.
These also provide better protection on the side of the eye. For those of us who spend a lot of time in the sun, long-term eye protection is key!!!
25. Cotopaxi Coso 2 L Hip Pack
This is for the outdoorsy ladies who live for a fanny pack but always need a little more space. And I know you know who I’m talking about.
I first saw this bag on a women’s group trip to Iceland when two of the women (who were besties!!) both had it in different colors. I was OBSESSED!
It was the ideal bag for travel since they had enough space for all their things but could also easily maneuver hands-free and wear it on their front if necessary.
I’m not kidding when I tell you I immediately added it to the cart after watching them sport it all week.
26. L.L. Bean Anorak
Something about this anorak makes me feel so freakin cute. Whenever I want to really amp up the granola girl aesthetic, I throw this on.
L.L. Bean has always been one of my favorite brands to purchase from because their pieces are high quality and last a long time.
I’ve owned this anorak for many years and it’s held up well after so many miles on the trail. It’s a great windbreaker but also serves as the perfect lightweight jacket for those cooler days that aren’t quite yet cold.
27. Sea To Summit Collapsible Kettle
Sea to Summit has the best camp kitchen gear and this collapsible kettle is no exception. Snag this cutie for your adventure girl who loves a hot beverage while camping.
Whether it’s tea, hot cocoa, apple cider, or a hot toddy, this kettle is the perfect addition to any camp kit. I started investing in pieces like this a few years ago when I grew sick of all my gear taking up so much space and weighing a ton.
Now I own a bunch of compact, collapsible kitchen gear from Sea To Summit and it’s made my camping experience way more enjoyable.
28. North Face Thermoball Eco Traction Bootie
I guarantee you no woman likes to have cold feet. Do we love snow? Yes. Do we absolutely need warmth and comfort to enjoy it? Double Yes.
These traction booties are the cold-weather companion your outdoorsy gal doesn’t even know she needs. They are like a little blanket on the feet.
Not only are these ideal for cold weather camping, but they’re also great for throwing on after a day of skiing or wearing out by a bonfire at night.
29. Eno Double Nest Hammock
Obsession is an understatement when it comes to ENO hammocks. These are the creme de la creme of hammocks.
If you’re buying for a camping queen or a woman who enjoys reading, this gift could not be more perfect.
The Eno system is a breeze compared to other hammocks that I’ve used. Don’t forget to purchase the straps to properly secure the hammock to trees. You don’t need the straps if you have access to poles or a hammock stand.
30. Peak Design Capture Clip
All my outdoorsy women who carry a camera NEED this clip. I seriously don’t know how I functioned without it.
When I saw someone wearing this in an Instagram reel I knew I had to have it. It’s now lived on my hiking pack for years and I take way more photos while hiking because of it.
The amazing thing about this clip is that it can be moved to different bags. Additionally, the piece that attaches to your camera body is compatible with the tripod so if you use both, you never have to change it out.
31. Madi Stitches Sweatshirt
Nothing beats an embroidered national parks sweatshirt and this one from Madi Stitches is ADORABLE. I own the Glacier National Park and the Smokies National Park sweatshirts. No joke I get compliments on both every time I wear them.
I have a medium because I prefer an oversized look but they run true to size. This is an item that I will wear anywhere and everywhere because it’s so cozy.
Everyone has a favorite national park which is why I think this is such a memorable gift.
32. Teva ReEmber Slip-Ons
If you haven’t been introduced to the joy of camping shoes I am so sorry. Slipping these on at camp after a long day of hiking is the best feeling!
Teva has really cornered the market on camp slippers and the Teva ReEmber Slip-Ons are the ultimate slipper. You can wear the back flap down, but if you need them to be more secure you can also wear them normally. The best of both worlds!
One of those items that you didn’t know you needed until you have it.
33. Mountain Hardwear Summit Grid Tunic Hoodie
In need of a gift that she can wear on every outdoor adventure? Introducing the Mountain Hardwear Summit Grid Tunic Hoodie.
This is a staple layering piece because it’s relatively thin while still being warm. I also love the textured waffle look that adds a little je ne sais quoi.
34. Vuori Joggers
If I could only have one pair of joggers for the rest of my life, these would be it. The Vuori joggers are so incredibly comfortable and they come with me on every cabin trip.
These are for the outdoorsy woman who doesn’t like to sacrifice quality or comfort. I think they are worth every single penny.
My husband is honestly probably sick of seeing me wear them. I’ll be investing in another pair soon because I always get sad when they’re in the laundry.
35. Rumpl NanoLoft Puffy Travel Blanket
A puffy blanket that can get dirty is a go-to item in our household. I’m that person that is perpetually cold so we have an abundance of blankets and yet I still buy more.
The Rumpl Travel Blanket practically lives in my trunk because I never know when I’m going to need it. I tend to stop for sunset and don’t want to sit on the cold ground so this bad boy comes in handy.
It’s also seen many nights at the campfire and is great for things like outdoor concerts. Truly one of the most practical gifts on this list and an item that will go with her everywhere!
36. Parks Project Sweatshirt
Trust me when I tell you that Parks Project has some of the coolest National Park gear you’ll ever see. I own three things from them and just ordered two more…oops.
One of their big missions is to give back to the parks and so far they’ve donated over $2,700,000. Seriously, WOW.
Knowing that part of my purchase is going to a good cause makes it much easier to feel good about sporting new apparel (my sustainability freaks will relate). My motto is quality over quantity and this is an item that will last for years.
37. Kari Traa Thermals
My friend owns a Kari Traa Thermal set and I’ve been coveting it since the moment I saw it. Thermals are always a good idea, especially if she loves skiing/snowboarding.
Kari Traa is a Norwegian brand so they know how to do cold weather gear. The founder is a three-time Olympic medalist and she uses her brand to celebrate feminity and Norwegian heritage with fun, bold colors.
The merino thermals are made from wool sourced from New Zealand and Australia. Only certified non-mulesing providers are used, meaning you know that the sheep haven’t been mistreated.
Gifts For Outdoorsy Women Over $100
Interested in shelling out a little extra money for a high quality gift that she’ll love? These gifts are some of the best items I own and are worth every penny!
38. Wondery Outdoors Isabel Pant
Every woman needs a flattering pair of hiking pants. The Wondery Outdoors Isabel Pant is the GOAT of hiking pants.
These fit like a glove and have numerous big pockets. Plus, they synch at the waist which is a feature I feel like so many women’s hiking pants are missing.
I just recently purchased these and I’m already planning to get them in another color. They’re not cheap, but they check all the boxes. They’re also super popular so chances are she’s already been eyeing them.
39. Solo Stove Mesa XL Fire Pit
Does she love campfires but hates smelling like smoke afterward? This is the gift for you.
The mesa tabletop stove is perfect for a cold-weather picnic, camping, or a small backyard hang. Solo Stove is known for its smokeless heat technology.
I love this smaller version because it’s easy to pack and bring along on all your outdoor adventures. It’s also super easy to use and you don’t have to plan on washing your hair after using it. Can someone say win-win??
40. Chaco Mega Z Cloud Sandals
Chacos are an essential part of a granola girl starter kit. I’ve lived in mine every summer since I bought them. So much so that I am now known for my chaco tan among friends.
These bad boys are practically glued to my feet from April – November. I own the Mega Z because I don’t like having a toe strap. They are great for water but fair warning they take a minute to dry out.
I always put them out in the sun after they’ve been super wet to speed up the process. Mine have been a closet staple for 4 years and they’re still going strong.
41. Food Dehydrator
Racking up a ton of miles on the trail and sick of spending way too much money on freeze-dried meals? Splurge on a food dehydrator!
Backpacking queens know how expensive it can be to stock up on meals for a multi-day trek. Having the flexibility to create your own meals and control how much protein, carbs, etc you’re getting is such a game changer.
I’ve put this on my Christmas wish list (cough cough) and am crossing my fingers I get to put it through the ringer next year. I have so many backpacking trips lined up and am not interested in spending $15 per meal.
42. Hyperlite Camera Pod
I saw someone wearing this earlier this summer and it is BRILLIANT.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my peak design capture clip, but this is the luxury version in my opinion. The fact that it’s centered on the body and super secure eliminates the only gripe I have with my peak clip…. my shoulder tends to get soar on super long hikes.
This is truly for that gift for outdoorsy girls who love to log a lot of mileage in one day but can’t be persuaded to leave their professional camera behind (hi it’s me).
43. Kelty Low Loveseat
Calling all my snuggle bugs!! The Kelty Low Loveseat allows you to cuddle with your honey (or furry friend) at camp. Just throw in a blanket and you’re set.
For me, this is the ideal setup because let’s face it, I’m always cold. Whether I’m chatting at the fire or reading a book, I always want to be cozy.
This love seat is super easy to transport and it has cup holders for all your favorite drinks.
44. Altra Lone Peak Trail Shoes
These shoes are the answer for all outdoorsy ladies who struggle with blisters. They truly changed the game for me and are my go-to hiking shoes on super hot days
I bought these because my feet tend to overheat and then immediately blister (yay me). The wide toe box and breathability of this shoe have made it much less likely for me to develop any sort of issues while on the trail.
I also love that these don’t constrict my feet. They take a minute to get used to, but once you do you’ll never want to go back.
45. Salomon Adv Skin 5 Set Hydration Vest
A hydration vest is an ideal gift for outdoorsy girls who live a minimalist lifestyle or are always on the move. The convenience of using a vest for a day hike is unmatched and if you can fit everything you need in it, so much easier to carry.
I’ve been using a hydration vest for years for long runs and love how functional it is.
I recently started using mine for day hikes when I don’t need my professional camera and it lets me be so much more agile. It’s also a lot more lightweight than a regular hiking pack which is an added bonus.
46. Patagonia Retro Pile Fleece
I own an obscene amount of Patagonia fleeces. I mean, can you even call yourself granola if you don’t own at least one?
The retro pile is the fleece I get asked about the most. I have the red, but the colors they offer are all so beautiful.
If this is a little out of your price range, I highly recommend checking out Patagonia’s reuse site: Worn Wear. I’ve purchased a number of items from this site and have never been disappointed. It’s more sustainable and less expensive!
47. Eureka Camp Stove
My Eureka Camp Stove is one of my most used camp items. Having two burners while cooking at camp is a MUST.
I’ll be honest, I partially bought this stove because it was so stinking cute. But it’s outperformed all my expectations.
This stove is easy to set up, easy to use, and easy to clean. Are you picking up on a trend? All you need is cooking gas (something I always keep in my kitchen bin) and you’re ready to go.
48. Febuki Niseko 3.0 Boots
There’s nothing worse than having cold feet, especially when you’re frolicking in fresh snow.
These are the cold weather boots for those ladies who love to go for a winter hike, live in places where it’s the tundra for 6 months, or like to take many apres trips.
The tread on the Febuki Niseko 3.0 Boots is surprisingly good and they are ridiculously warm. Design-wise, they’re pretty simplistic, but the colors are fun and what they lack in technical specs they make up for in sheer practicality.
49. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
The Kindle Paperwhite is the most used gift I’ve ever received. This thing goes with me everywhere and I can’t live without it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a physical book, but as someone who travels a ton and can’t afford to put 5 books in my backpacking pack, this solves that problem.
It’s relatively small and lightweight, and you can download multiple books on it. Plus the battery life is exceptional. I typically only have to charge it once a month which is absolutely wild since I use it every day.
I take this with me on every single camping and backpacking trip. It also fits great in my backpack for plane rides.
The paperwhite is the way to go if you can afford it because the screen is better for your eyes and you can put it on dark mode when you are reading at night.
50. Blundstone High Top Boots
I am literally wearing these shoes as I write this. That’s how much I stand by this recommendation.
Blundstone boots are iconic and stand up to a lot of wear and tear. They take a minute to break in and may feel like they don’t fit, but give it a few weeks and they will fit like a glove.
I think the high tops are much cuter than the original style. They go with pretty much any pair of jeans or pants and I’ll even wear them with shorts depending on the weather.
51. Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket
Every outdoorsy woman needs a Patagonia nano puff. And I’m not just saying that because I own two.
These are perfect for camping and backpacking because they pack down super small and can be stuffed into a pack. They layer really well and are surprisingly warm for how thin they are.
I’ve owned mine for over 4 years and they have held up well. They’re pretty easy to wash and if you get a hole in them Patagonia will patch it for free!
52. Mountain Hardwear Stretch Down Pant
I purchased these for a winter trip to Iceland and it was one of my better ideas to date. These pants are SO WARM but not in a suffocating way.
For a girlie that stays cold once she gets cold, I was so glad to have these with me. On the days that the wind was high or I knew I’d be outside for a long time, I put these on top of my thermals and truly NEVER got cold.
I seriously can’t recommend these enough, especially if you live in a cold weather location and are outside a lot. They were better than I could’ve imagined and I can’t wait to take them out in Colorado this winter!
53. Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler
The ultimate travel duffel for outdoorsy girls is the Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler. I recently took this on a three-week trip to Europe and was so impressed with it.
My husband and I decided to get two of these bags because we were tired of traveling with our hard-sided bag that was harded to manauever and fit places. This bag can fit so much, but you can also carry it on your back, wheel it, or pick it up with the side handles.
The bag is also incredibly unique so it’s easy to pick out on the carousel (unlike the 5 million away bags). We were so happy with our decision and can’t wait to take them to New Zealand this spring!
