(Penguin Random House)
For the Reader
States of Adventure
Written by a popular podcaster, this book contains 30 inspiring stories of outdoor adventure, from in-line skating across Iowa to hand-cycling the Continental Divide. It’s also packed with stunning photos, making it the perfect item to flip through on a couch…that will motivate folks to get up off the couch. (For more book ideas, see page 20.)
(Beats)
For the Audiophile
Beats Studio Buds +
These wireless noise-canceling earbuds deliver powerful sound and offer an impressive battery life: 36 hours on a single charge. Of course, this would be meaningless if the buds kept falling out of people’s ears. These won’t. Four different sizes of ear tips ensure they stay put whether users are hiking, running, or lifting weights.

(Alma del Jaguar)
For the Tippler
Alma del Jaguar Tequila Blanco
Got a tequila fan in your life? Gift them this hand-crafted, sustainably produced spirit from one of the most renowned distilleries in Mexico. Not only is it double-distilled in copper pot stills, but it’s also driven by conservation: A portion of the brand’s proceeds go toward preserving the world’s northernmost population of wild jaguars.

(Gordini)
For the Cold-Blooded
Gordini MTN Crew Artist Mitts
If you know someone whose digits are constantly freezing, these mitts will solve the problem and then some. Featuring designs from environmental artists Jordan Kendall Parks and Zoe Malee, they boast a fleece lining, a neoprene cuff, and water-repellant, 600-fill down. In short: They’re warm.

(Jungmaven)
For the Hippie
Jungmaven Heathered Jung Tee
You can never have enough high-quality T-shirts in your wardrobe, so whoever receives this present will be feeling quite groovy, man. Made in the USA from a blend of hemp and organic cotton, the tee has a slightly stubby texture that’s both durable and soft. And like any gray T-shirt, it goes great with almost any other piece of clothing.

(Outerknown)
For the Clotheshorse
Outerknown Blanket Shirt
Remember the slanket? This isn’t that. (It isn’t the snuggie, either.) What it is: a good-looking shirt that pairs nicely with denim and chinos and feels as cozy as a blanket. As a bonus, it’s easy on the environment: The buttons are made from tagua palm nuts (a natural alternative to plastic), and the cotton is 100-percent organic.

(Patagonia Provisions)
For the Foodie
Patagonia Provisions Best Sellers Gift Box
This gift box is loaded with tasty stuff, including two boxes of crackers, two boxes of pasta, one can of Spanish anchovies, one can of smoked mussels, and a tote bag made of scraps from Patagonia’s Uprisal line. You don’t even have to wrap it up: It arrives in an illustrated box, ready to hand over to the lucky recipient.
(MiiR)
For the Hydrator
MiiR Everywhere Bottle
This water bottle looks super simple, and that’s its beauty. Lightweight and shatter-resistant, it’s tough enough to be taken anywhere, be it the gym, office, or park. Two other useful features: It has a removable silicone insert to minimize splashing, and the easy-to-carry handle makes it a cinch to tote on hikes.

(Steeped Coffee)
For the Camper
BLK & Bold Rise & GRND
These single-serve pouches offer high-grade coffee in compostable bags, which makes them especially handy when camping or traveling. Just pour hot water into a cup, dunk the bag for 30 seconds, steep, and sip — no coffee maker needed. Plus, you’re giving back with every purchase, as 20 percent of sales are donated to Feeding America.
$15 for eight bags. steepedcoffee.com
(Hoka)
For the Trail Runner
Hoka Speedgoat 6
How do you improve one of the greatest trail running shoes ever? We’re not sure, but Hoka did. Our favorite upgrade is the grippy Vibram outsole, which uses a revised lug orientation inspired by the hoof of a goat (naturally) to provide traction across both wet and dry surfaces. Good luck keeping up with whoever’s wearing these.
