2022 Christmas Gift Ideas for Outdoorsy & Active People | AD

The Christmas countdown has begun and if you’ve got presents to buy for friends and family, it’s time to start thinking about what to get. In this gift guide, I’m focussing on gifts that would be suitable for people who love leading an active lifestyle and enjoying the great outdoors. Read on for a bunch of Christmas gift ideas for outdoorsy & active people.

• Little Spuggy Handmade Knitted Rainbow Beanie

A warm hat is an outdoorsy must-have and this stunning Vivid Rainbow Beanie from Little Spuggy makes a wonderful Christmas gift! It’s beautifully colourful, bold, and bright and has a baby blue faux fur pop-pom on the top. The hat is double layered with a merino wool lining which is super soft and a hard-wearing wool and nylon blend for the outer layer. It’s really comfortable and warm and looks great too!

Little Spuggy is a small business run by Helaina who originally learnt to knit in 2015 to make baby clothes for her firstborn. The business officially started in 2020 with a motivation to create products that are made with soft and snuggly natural yarns. Most of the items from Little Spuggy are made with merino wool and some are made using British wool, cotton, or bamboo.

• Thermos Insulated Food Flask

A good insulated flask is another essential – especially for winter adventures! You can’t really have too many either so if you’re buying a gift for someone who might already have one, don’t worry – they’d probably love another one too! We have lots of insulated water bottles and a few flasks for food or coffee and they are all loved and used. Above you can see the Thermos 184807 Stainless King Food Flask which is a durable stainless steel (interior & exterior), vacuum insulated food flask that keeps food hot for 9 hours or cold for 14 hours. It has an insulated lid that doubles up as a bowl and it also includes a spoon that cleverly folds up and fits inside. It’s got a 470ml capacity but there are larger ones available too. I love the gorgeous retro look of these flasks and there are lots of colours available to choose from as well.

• A High Quality Fleece Jacket

An outdoorsy lifestyle requires functional clothing to stay warm and dry in all weathers. It can be hard to buy things like hiking boots and jackets for other people (unless they have specifically asked for a particular product) – accessories like hats, hiking socks and gloves or a jumper or a fleece is easier to select for someone else. A high-quality fleece that looks great too, like this stylish Berghaus Men’s Retrorise Fleece Jacket, would make a great and useful gift for a loved one.

• Body: Simple techniques and strategies to heal, reset and restore

An active lifestyle usually goes hand in hand with an interest in health and well-being. It can also sometimes come with injuries from exercise and sports. This new book, Body by internationally recognised osteopath, performance coach and recovery specialist James Davies, is the ultimate guide to preventing pain and fuelling your body the right way so that it can live up to its fullest potential.

James Davies has helped many elite athletes and people from all walks of life improve their performance and stay healthy. This brilliant book is packed with tips on how to live pain free through a holistic approach, easy techniques and strategies to help your body, alongside lots of personal stories too. A great book to give to anyone who’s interested in health and an active lifestyle! You can buy the book Body here.

• Seed Tin & Seeds from Thompson & Morgan

Most outdoorsy people enjoy spending time in their own garden too – they’re not always out on adventures! If you have a friend or a loved one who’s into gardening, then this stunning Seed Tin from Thompson & Morgan would make a lovely gift.

The retro style of the tin looks great and the tin is a great size for fitting lots of seed packets, keeping them dry and safe. For an even better gift, fill the tin with a selection of fruit & veg or flower seeds.

• Kelty Roadie Life Camp Galley

For someone who loves to go camping, innovative and useful camping gear make great gifts! Kelty is a leading manufacturer of tents, sleeping bags and camping accessories and they’ve recently launched a collection of useful camping kitchen and car organisers suitable for road trips and camping adventures to keep your gear neat and organised.

Here you can see the Kelty Roadie Life Camp Galley which provides plenty of clever storage to keep your cooking equipment organised in your tent. It’s got attachment loops at the top so that you can hang it up, but you can also use it laid flat. It features three zippered pockets at the top for utensils or spice bottles, a zippered lower pocket for more utensils, two sleeves for larger items such as cutting boards and plates and a paper towel roll holder at the bottom – this can also be used as a mini clothesline to hang a towel or a cloth, for example.

• Leather and Canvas Foraging Pouch from Scaramanga

Foraging has become very popular again and lots of people like to collect other non-edible treasures from nature as well. Whether it’s wild garlic to use for a delicious homemade pesto or beautiful shells from the beach, somewhere to put these things is handy. This cute and practical Leather and Canvas Foraging Pouch from Scaramanga makes a nice gift for someone who loves foraging.

This clever pouch from Scaramanga is made from beautiful waxed canvas and has a distressed leather and stud brass fastening that you can attach to your belt. The 19cm x 22cm bag folds away neatly and compactly when not in use.

Other features include a drawstring closure to keep contents secure. This would also make a great stocking filler gift due to its small size when folded up. It can be personalised to make it even more special.
