Your Holiday Gift-Giving Guide for the Adventure Seeker
1. National Parks Pass - “America The Beautiful pass”
Starting off strong with something that is sure to please the excited adventurer and avid traveler. A National Parks Pass is a great gift idea - just imagine how happy they would be to get an unlimited go at their favorite parks across the United States and Canada! This is better than a traditional gift card, because it can be used for 365 days.
These might seem small and insignificant to a non-adventurer, but these socks are meant for any climate and offer protection from blisters on long hikes. Made up of a soft, moisture-wicking, and breathable material, these are the perfect gift for the avid hiker.
IDK about you - but blankets are always a great gift to give or receive. In my expert opinion, one can never have too many blankets. The Rumpl Blanket is made for cozying up outdoors around a campfire, and repels water, dirt, odors, stains, pet hair, and other debris that can come about in the wilderness. In addition to having multiple colors to choose from, it’s also super light, weighing in at 2 pounds and 1.6 ounces - perfect for stuffing into a backpack!
4. The NorthFace “Terra Lumbar” 1L Fanny Pack
When you imagine a picture of a hiker, they have to have a fanny pack on, right? What better gift than to get a small yet very convenient gift for your adventurer to carry their goodies in? The best part about this gift is that it can be used everyday - not necessarily only while in the wild.
5. Kodak Ektar H35 Film Camera
Does your adventurer love to snap a perfect pic on their trips? This Kodak Ektar-H35 Film Camera is a perfect addition to their backpack. Do they want to capture moody, filmy, art-gallery worthy photos? Then this is definitely the gift for them! The best part about this camera is how affordable it is!
6. Single-Serve Portable Espresso Maker
Espresso and camping?! This gift is a perfect companion for your traveler for everyday use. Although this is more targeted towards people who camp out in their cars, it can be used anywhere as long as there are coffee beans present. It also is known to make top-notch espresso, what could be better than that?
7. LuminAid PackLite Titan 2-In-1 Power Lantern
A very convenient gift for those who often have a low battery on their phone. Just joking, this is a perfect gift for the adventurer going on a long trip in the wilderness! This power lantern is solar powered, and can last up to 150 hours on its low setting.
A durable, comfy nylon hammock perfect for long naps and easy set up. It comes with aluminum carabiners to attach the hammock to the straps (which are sold separately), and can pack up super small for easy transport. This hammock brand comes in a variety of colors, so you can pick the color that best suits your traveler.
9. Yeti Rambler Mug 2.0 - Magslider Lid 14 Ounce
Keep those warm beverages toasty in cold temperatures with this nifty little Yeti mug! This mug will keep drinks hot (or cold) for a very long time. It has a few different colors to choose from, so you can pick one that would best suit the adventurer. By the way, this gift would go great paired with the portable espresso machine I linked earlier…
10. Nomadix Microfiber Ultralight Towel
These towels are known to quickly absorb liquid and dry quickly as well! The truly perfect gift for the traveler who is on the go. The towels come in a few different designs, one even features National Parks across the United States. Fun fact: a portion of each purchase from this line is donated to Conservation Alliance to help protect these natural beauties.
11. Gift Card to The Bethel Resort & Suites
Give the gift of an incredible stay and enchanting experiences by gifting your adventurer a gift card to our beloved resort! The Bethel Resort is the perfect place to getaway for adventure, relaxation, and fun. I certainly can’t think of a better gift...
12. Pop-up Portable SUP Cooler
This gift allows your adventurer to take all their essentials on or near the water with them. If they have a paddleboard or a kayak already, this gift is perfect because it comes with mini grips and soft padded handles that will keep it put while on their water excursions! This cooler is also super lightweight and easy to pack up.

14. REI Beanie Cap
A perfect, useful, and super convenient gift for your traveler for their chilly adventures. No matter where they’re headed or what they’re doing, everyone could use a cute beanie to rock.
15. Petzl Headlamp
This gift is wonderful for any traveler, no matter what time of day it is or where they are. Give the gift of hands-free convenience, and safety to navigate trails and set up camp with illumination. This would be perfect to have on a sunrise hike.
