25 Perfect Gift Ideas for Ladies who Love the Outdoors
1. How-To Books
Have you ever tried to get naughty in a tent in the great outdoors? It’s neither sexy nor romantic. The Sex in a Tent How-to Guide gives clever pointers to help make it more enticing! Any lady who loves to camp with their partner needs this book!
This is a hilarious and totally unique gift, but probably only appropriate for a lady in your life who has a sense of humor.
And if your friend is concerned that she might need to escape a car that is dangling off the side of a cliff or save a runaway train, then the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel is just the tool she’ll need to get by! This book is endlessly entertaining and is a great gift for anyone really – even if they don’t love the outdoors.
2. 3-in-1 Camp Chair
This awesome 3-in-1 camp chair by One Savvy Girl is perfect for anyone on the go! It converts from a lightweight backpack to a stool camp chair with a built-in cooler bag for drinks. And it folds down super small to tote around on a hiking trip or just keep in the trunk of a car, just in case.
It’s not just a unique camping gift, but it’s also perfect for your friend to take to outdoor concerts, picnics, and music festivals.
3. Travel-Sized Art Supplies
Have you ever had a camping experience where you’ve set up camp, cooked dinner, started a fire, drank a bottle of wine, and suddenly realize that it’s only 7 pm? When you’re enjoying the great outdoors there actually isn’t a whole lot to do when the sun goes down.
A creative outdoor-loving lady will appreciate a gift of a travel coloring kit and a unique coloring book to keep her busy by the fire. This is also a great gift for anyone with a long plane, train, or bus ride in the near future.
4. Pendleton Blanket
A darling, high-quality blanket is the perfect thing to throw in the car to go camping for the weekend. Pendleton blankets tend to be pricey but they will hold up for years to come.
Not only is it toasty warm, but it also makes a great Instagram photo prop! This is an incredibly thoughtful gift for anyone who loves camping in the great outdoors and has great taste.
If the Pendleton blanket is beyond your budget, these National Parks-themed blankets by Rumpl are just as cool and half the price!
5. Wearable Sleeping Bag
Imagine cozying up in front of a campfire, roasting marshmallows, and wearing your snuggly, warm sleeping bag. I know I did, every time I was freezing my buns off while camping and unfortunately NOT wearing my sleeping bag by the fire.
There are actually wearable sleeping bags that have holes for your arms and legs and they are the best thing to happen to camping trips since boxed wine. It’s a totally unique gift for any camping enthusiast!
6. A Rad Experience
Most avid adventurers value experiences over things, so why not give them the gift of one? Tinggly is a company that offers a collection of rad experiences at one price in over 100 countries with no expiration date!
Just buy her a gift card from Tinggly and she can choose from a variety of outdoor experiences, including a wild camping excursion in Ireland, a canyoneering adventure in Costa Rica, or a parasailing experience in Hawaii. There are also plenty of low-key activities to choose from, including relaxing spa packages and wine tasting tours. There’s something for every outdoorsy (or indoorsy) lady!
Plus, all Tinggly gift boxes are made from recycled materials and they offset CO2 carbon emissions for every gift experience. And they will remove 33 lbs of plastic from the rivers, lakes, and oceans around the planet. So she’ll appreciate that her gift is adventurous, outdoorsy, AND sustainable.
7. Outdoor Wine Glasses
There’s nothing quite like a glass of wine at the end of a long day of hiking. And no one wants to bring breakable glass wine glasses on a camping trip. These stainless steel, insulated wine glasses are super durable and make an awesome gift for any wine-loving, outdoor enthusiast! They’re perfect to use both at home and on the go.
8. Travel Journal
Cliche, I know, but most people who love traveling also love to document their adventures in a travel journal. It can also serve as a sketchbook for their majestic outdoor surroundings. Either way, everyone can find a good use for a journal!
9. Pocket Knife and Sheath
It’s actually pretty shocking how frequently you need a sharp, sexy knife when camping and hiking. Whether it’s for chopping vegetables, cutting rope, or fending off bears, a trusty knife will undoubtedly come in handy. Plus, your outdoor-loving friend will look like a badass with this awesome gift sheathed to her belt!
10. Inspirational Outdoor Tees
A gift of a cute t-shirt that inspires your outdoor-loving friend to get outside is sure to impress. She can wear it on her epic hiking and camping adventures, or just lounging around the house. Plus, it’ll tell the world how she really feels – when the mountains are calling, she must answer.

This flexible phone tripod by UBeesize makes it easier to get the perfect shot on any kind of surface. It even has a wireless remote control so she can take shots from up to 30 feet away!
14. Packable Hammock
It can be difficult to find prime spots to lounge when you’re camping when you’re not quite ready to get into your tent, but your camp stool isn’t as comfortable as you’d like. That’s where a lightweight, durable, and packable hammock becomes a necessity!
The Eagles Nest Outfitters Doublenest Hammock is the most trusted on the market and a perfect gift for any outdoor adventurer. Don’t forget to buy straps!
15. Trucker Hat
A cute trucker hat is a great gift for any outdoor-loving lady who wants to shield her skin from the blazing sun or hide her messy camping hair. This gift is especially easy because you don’t have to worry about buying the correct size – they’re one size fits all. And the more unique the hat, the better the gift!
16. Campfire Coffee Mugs
Every adventure starts with a cup of coffee. And every cup of coffee must be served in a cute mug that inspires you. This enamel camping coffee mug is super cute, eco-friendly, and printed with lead-free ink. If your friend is a big-time coffee enthusiast, you may want to upgrade to the 18-ounce size. You can’t go wrong with this gift.

19. Comfy Base Layer
The cold winter months are upon us which means that sleeping in the great outdoors will be freezing! Pick up a pair of Icebreaker Merino Wool Base Layer Leggings to keep your outdoor-loving friend warm this season.
These leggings are kickass! They are heavyweight with paneling to improve ventilation, abrasion resistance in the knee areas, and chafe-free seams making them the perfect winter-weather gift. Plus, Icebreaker is an all-around awesome brand.
20. Buff Headband
Buff headbands are super popular with outdoorsy types because they can be used for so many different things. They provide 95% UV protection to keep your head and neck from getting sunburned, they can be worn on your face in extremely cold or dusty situations, and they can be worn as a headband to keep your hair off your face.
It’s a totally practical gift for anyone who loves being outdoors!
21. Toasty Warm Slippers
There’s nothing quite like removing those uncomfortable hiking shoes at the end of a long day of trekking and slipping into a pair of comfy slippers. This pair by RockDove will keep your outdoor-loving friend’s feet as warm as their puffy jacket. But they also have a durable sole making them perfect to wear outdoors and a memory foam footbed to keep those feet super cushioned.
22. Quick-Dry Beach Towel
A lightweight, fast-drying towel in a fun print is the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys traveling to the beach, picnicking in the mountains, or in need of a shower after a long day of hiking. These quick-dry beach towels by Elite Trend have darling patterns and come in their own carrying case!

24. Female Urination Device
Do you know what’s worse than having to get out of your tent in the middle of the night when it’s freezing cold, or raining, or your camp is surrounded by bears? Literally nothing. But, a female urination device that will allow your friend to do her business without squatting will most certainly come in handy. It might be a strange gift to give but I know she’ll love it!
25. Diva Cup
And if you’re concerned about your friend’s ability to pee outside, you should also concern yourself with her menstrual cycle. Because pads and tampons have no place in the great outdoors. Get her a Diva Cup so she never has to worry about packing feminine hygiene products again!
