1. Hummingbird Houses
Nature lovers might have a hummingbird feeder, but the tiny birds need food and shelter! So these little structures are hummingbird houses! The houses are hand-knitted from hibiscus grass, and when the weather gets cold, you can add dried grass to each home so the birds will be snug and warm in the winter.
2. National Parks Scratch Off Poster
Our National Parks are heaven for those who are genuinely outdoorsy, and visiting each one is on their bucket list! This scratch-off poster is a fun way to track their progress and makes a pretty wall decor. The sign measures 16×20 inches.
3. Solar Fairy Lantern
Part of the reason nature lovers spend so much time outdoors is to look for fairies. It’s true! This solar lamp will bring the fairies to them. The light can sit or be hung up, and after about six hours in the sun, it will be charged to last for eight hours. The lamp will come on automatically when it gets dark and shut off when it becomes light outside.
4. Survival Kit
This kit includes various tools that could come in handy when camping, hiking, or during a natural disaster. The kit has 13 pieces, including a water-resistant box, tactical pen, compass, flashlight, wire saw, fire starter, first aid blanket, and more.
5. Queen Anne’s Lace Pendant
Let her bring a bit of nature wherever she goes with this lovely pendant. Inside the resin is a real piece of dried Queen Anne’s lace resembling the Tree of Life. The pendant is available in four colors, and each is handmade.
6. Mosquito Jacket
Nothing can ruin a day in nature faster than nasty mosquito bites. This jacket will help prevent that and protect from other biting bugs, including bees. The jacket is made of fine, high-density polyester mesh that is lightweight and offers ventilation and UV protection.
7. Binoculars
These binoculars offer 12x magnification, 25mm objective lenses, and a wide field of vision and have a distance of 273 feet or 1,000 yards. The eyepieces accommodate those wearing glasses or sunglasses and fold up, so they don’t take up much room in a backpack—a great gift for the avid birdwatcher.
8. Camping Hammock
Who needs a tent when you have this hammock? This two-person hammock is lightweight and has all the tools necessary for setup. In addition, the net will keep the bugs away. All they need is two trees! This is the perfect gift for car campers.
9. Yeti Rambler
Yeti is known for its high-quality products; this stainless steel tumbler is no exception. The mug can take a beating and keep a drink hot or cold for hours. The mug holds 14 ounces and comes in several colors.
10. Cooler With Bluetooth Speakers
We love to include multi-purpose items in our gift guides, especially for the lists of people who love the outdoors. Campers, hikers, boaters, and beach-goers don’t want to be loaded with much stuff! This bag is both a cooler and a set of speakers! The pack can hold up to 24 drink cans and play their favorite music!
11. Handwarmers
I use these hand warmers when we have a cold Mardi Gras season; they work great! Just open the packet, give them a little shake, and they stay warm for up to ten hours. There are 40 pairs in each box.
12. Beach Pop-Up Tent
The beach is excellent, but sometimes you need shelter from the sun. This tent is the perfect solution. It pops up quickly and can accommodate 3-5 people. Not enclosed, it allows for airflow, and the material provides 50 SPF.
13. Sleeping Bag
Some intrepid nature lovers camp all year round. For them, a high-quality sleeping bag is a must. This mummy-style bag is rated for temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The bag can fit someone up to 6 foot 2 inches tall, and the hood can be pulled with the drawstring to keep their body heat.
14. Water Bottle
The best gifts could get your loved one out of a dangerous situation. That’s why the Lifestraw water bottle is a bestseller. The straw filters bacteria, parasites, and microplastics, which means if they were to run out of water on a camping trip or a day hike, this bottle would make stream water safe to drink. BPA-free, the bottle holds 22 ounces. Perfect for bringing on their next backpacking trip.
15. Garmin Handheld GPS Navigator
The eTrex supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. The eTrex stores and displays critical information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints, and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper printouts.
Its high sensitivity makes it quickly and precisely locate your position and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons—an excellent gadget for hikers.
