If you want to introduce a top quality item for a hiking gal, but don’t know her size or you need to stay on a budget, then gift her with the most perfect hiking socks that were ever made!
Darn Tough socks are an American made and produced sock company out of Vermont that makes the best merino wool hiking socks.
Carhartt Beanie
A very trendy and quality piece of apparel right now for the outdoorsy crowd is the Carhartt Beanie. It’s comfortable, soft, and made of Carhartt’s amazing quality fabric.
If she is in need of a new beanie or just wants something great for hiking, skiing, and running errands around town, this is the beanie for her!
Patagonia Fleece Sweater
Every gal loves a cozy, fleece sweater for any time of day or adventure.
This ultra soft and comfortable fleece jacket doesn’t weigh much but it packs a punch in warmth. This jacket is a staple item for any adventure lover who likes to be warm, comfortable and cozy. Size up if in between sizes.

Patagonia’s Capilene line is a must have for hiking with the lightweight, seamless construction, underarm gussets, and technology to prevent odor causing bacteria.
She won’t be disappointed with this purchase and it will probably become her go to hiking shirt. The shirt fits semi-fitted to loose and runs true to size.
Buy on REI: T-shirt // Long sleeve
Outdoor Research Packable Puffer
There is no better or warmer jacket for winter hiking and camping than this packable down jacket by Outdoor Research.
I even wear this jacket when I’m skiing and snowshoeing in Colorado. This will be a jacket that lasts her for decades and worth every penny!
Athleta Headlands Cargo Tight
Whether she is a hiker or not, these durable hiking tights are a dream for any woman who prefers the outdoors.
They are more durable than your average tight and they look good on every body shape!
OR Tundra Booties
They may look like moon boots but they are the warmest and coziest slippers she’ll ever wear!
They can also be worn outside and make the perfect camping and backpacking slipper.
Birkenstock Sandals
The most comfortable pair of sandals that she will be able to wear every summer day for years to come. I promise you cannot go wrong with gifting a pair of Birkenstock sandals.
Blundstone Boots
Every outdoorsy girl wants a pair of Blundstone boots, as they’re the quintessential “outdoorsy” fall and winter boot to pair with any outfit.
If you’re on a budget, I own the knock-off Eastland boots and they are just as comfortable and durable (I’ve had mine for 3 years).
Sunski Polarized Sunglasses
These are the perfect pair of sunglasses and look good on almost every face shape!
They are polarized and incredible for hiking, water sports, and winter sports.
Western Hiking Hat
If this outdoorsy gal loves hats, then this Western Hemp Hat by Tilley is the perfect combo of quality, comfort, and style.
It is made out of breathable hemp that is naturally antimicrobial to reduce odor buildup and it has a wicking felt sweatband to keep you cool and dry.
This hat can be worn hiking, floating, and just a day out on the town.
Hiking Gifts for Outdoorsy Women
Garmin Venu 2S
Having a GPS sport-watch is a great gift for any outdoorsy gal that is into fitness, walking or hiking.
I’ve had both the Apple watch and this Garmin Venu 2S and hands down choose the Garmin.
The Garmin’s battery life of 5-7 days on one charge, Gorilla glass screen and the versatile, in-depth fitness tracking is much more advanced and durable for outdoorsy women.
Osprey 22L Hydration Pack
If she is in need of an updated hiking backpack or doesn’t have one yet, then surprise her with the top-rated hiking pack.
Osprey makes the most comfortable packs and they guarantee them for a lifetime!
Black Diamond Trekking Poles
These are the cream of the crop for hiking poles and any hiking gal will be stoked to receive this gift.
At 5’7”, the 110-125cm poles are perfect for me.
If you are on a budget these hiking poles are also really nice and durable.
MSR Snowshoes
If she likes hiking in warmer temps, chances are she also loves hiking in snow as well.
These are the best brand of snowshoes and they will last her for decades.

Running / Hiking Gloves
A nice pair of gloves that are made with material she can sweat in and still stay warm is essential for any runner or hiker.
I love that they have a mitt option for added warmth and mine have been going strong for 5+ years now.
Antimicrobial Pee Cloth
The perfect small add-on gift or stocking stuffer is a pee cloth. May seem weird, but I promise if she’s a hiker she will appreciate this antimicrobial pee cloth. Just read the reviews on Amazon if you don’t believe me.
Peak Design Camera Clip
If she is a photographer or uses her DSLR camera to take photos during hikes, she will love this compact and secure camera mount that attaches to her backpack strap or belt.
It’s ideal because it can hold a camera up to 200 lbs securely during physical activity and it allows for a quick release when she needs instant access for that perfect shot without having to rummage through her bag.
REI Membership and/or Gift Card
Not sure exactly what to get her and don’t want to chance getting the wrong thing? An REI gift card is still personalized yet gives her the freedom to make her choice (especially if she’s the picky kind like myself).
She can also spend the money to become a lifetime member for $30. REI is an outdoor lovers paradise for shopping and I’m confident she will be able to find something here!
Nature’s Signs Book
This is one of the most unique books about how to read nature’s signs. Whether she is a reader or not, this is such a cool gift to give someone who is really into nature and especially for those who love to camp or backpack.
Camping Gifts for Outdoorsy Women
Waterproof Camping Blanket
This camping blanket is so versatile in that it is waterproof, windproof, and big enough for two people.
One side is lined with super soft sherpa to keep you warm and the other side is waterproof so she can also use it to sit on if the ground is wet or for protection when it’s raining. It also compacts down nicely to keep in the car for an emergency.
Insulated Camping Blanket/Poncho
My other favorite camping blanket is this one that acts more like a poncho since it has buttons to secure it in place and stay wrapped around you at the campfire.
This blanket is a hit at any campfire and I love that it packs down so small, we even bring it backpacking in really cold weather.
Luci String Solar Camping Lights
A fun addition to any campsite are these Luci solar camping string lights. Luci’s compact and lightweight 18 feet of string lights are popular amongst campers since they can be charged by the sun or by a USB charger.
They have a built-in 2000mAH lithium battery and last up to 20 hours on a single charge. Plus it weighs less than a pound and it is waterproof!

Outdoor Adventure Journal
I’m usually not into hiking journals, but after seeing this one in person I had to have it! The book itself is beautifully crafted and sturdy enough to take on her adventures.
It includes an activity log to record every outdoor adventure, guides to cloud formations, flora and fauna, navigation by the stars, and wilderness safety.
Additionally, she’ll find a state-by-state list of top outdoor destinations, dos and don'ts of day hiking, how U.S. mountains compare in elevation, and hidden or often overlooked locations throughout the country.
America the Beautiful Pass
A thoughtful gift that you don’t have to worry about getting the right size or color is the America the Beautiful Pass.
This pass is good for a year’s worth of visits to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites across the country, including all our U.S. national parks.
Make sure to sign up with her name so she can be the cardholder and able to use it.
ENO SingleNest Hammock
For the outdoorsy woman who is also loves to camp or read in nature the ENO hammock is a top pick. ENO is known for their supreme quality and hanging system.
Make sure to buy the Hammock Straps that are sold separate, and there is even a bug net that I think is 100% worth it.
Nomadix Towel
Don’t look over gifting the perfect travel/yoga/beach towel, plus it comes in the coolest prints!
Not only is this towel odor-resistant, super-packable, lightweight, and sand-resistant, it’s made from post-consumer recycling.
10/10 one of my favorite gifts!
Osprey Weekender Tote
Whether she is a nomad or frequent traveler, this is the perfect weekender and laptop tote bag.
It has pockets galore, with specific compartments for her laptop, two water bottles, notebook, toiletries, etc.
The material is also very durable and slick so it can handle any environment.
Patagonia Duffel Bag
If she’s a heavy packer or goes camping quite a bit this 55L Duffel is the perfect bag to gift.
It will help her organize her gear with the all the storage compartments and she can carry it as pack too.
BrüMate Slim Can Cooler
If your outdoorsy gal is a spiked spritzer drink lover, she needs to have the BruMate slim can coozie.
I’ve tried all the knock offs and will hands down attest that BruMate is the best at keeping your beer or spritzer cold for the longest. If she’s more of a beer lover, they also have a can cooler for regular size beer cans too.
Stanley Flip Straw Water Bottle
If she doesn’t have a great stainless steel water bottle that keeps beverages cold for at least 7 hours, a Stanley Water Bottle is a must-have!
Stanley is a cult favorite amongst the active and outdoorsy kind. They make quality products that can stand the test of time. The tumbler is great for outdoor adventures since it has a handle to easily carry.
Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board
Everyone who tries our SUP for the first time loves it and becomes addicted to getting out on the water with it.
It is really easy to pick up on calmer lake water since the board is so wide and thick, and you don’t need to actually stand up to enjoy using it.
This one is very affordable and ours has lasted now for 4 years.
A great camping chair for the fire is extremely under-rated. I love this camping chair because it takes 2 secs to open and close and you don’t have to try shoving it into a rather too small bag to store away. It’s extremely comfortable and even rocks. This GCI Rocker is a nice upgrade to any camping chair.
Decor Gifts for Outdoorsy Women
National Park Candles
For a perfect memory of her favorite national park, these all-natural soy candles are handcrafted to impart the scents of the wild and pristine lands of America's National Parks.
Available in a half pint size with a 45+-hour burn time. Made vegan, cruelty-free and in small batches in Seattle, WA with no petroleum, GMOs, lead or phthalates. Choose from a range of national parks.
For a fun way to display all the national parks she’s visited is this beautiful canvas map! I love that this map is very customizable and you can even include all the U.S. cities as well. It’s a great gift for any age, especially the national park fanatic!
