Gift Guide for Outdoor Families 2015 + Giveaways

I refuse to buy into the stress of the holiday season. I get my shopping done early, I plan ahead and then it all usually ends up in spirited chaos anyway. Oh well. That’s life and that’s ok. As long as we are focusing as a family as the real reason for Christmas, I’m happy. This also means giving to those in need AND those we love.

So, this is my quick line-up of items I think every outdoor family (full-on enthusiasts or wannabes with spunk) would love. It also happens to be a teaser for our HUGE 12 Days of Gear Giveaways event starting December 1st. I have been working on putting this together for months now and can’t wait to give back to all of you. You can keep up with THAT event here. Note: not all items listed here will be given away. And not all items we are giving away are listed here. We have to keep you guessing a LITTLE!

 

This list is chock-full of affiliate links (which I highlight very clearly). Thanks for shopping through them to help us out a bit. It doesn’t cost you a dime!

Also, we are so thankful for any support you can give us (only if you LOVE this blog, please!) through our PayPal link at the top of the right sidebar (or here). It means the world to us and keeps everything here running!

    I love all the kid related gift ideas!! If I won the garage grown gear one, I’d definitely be getting some presents for my littles! Shared the giveaway post on fb – thanks again!

    Amazing list!!! I am adding so many items to my own wish list! I really like the child size hammock! We love our Eno but it would be fun to have something that my daughter could hang out in by her self 🙂

    The Ahnu hiking boots look amazing but the amazon link didn’t work 🙂 I read your fabulous review!

    I would definitely grab some Women’s Multisport Greensboro Low Wool Socks by Farm to Feet from Garage Grown Gear! The penguin mittyz are so adorable, too!

    I definitely need to buy some WeeWoolies for the soon to be 3 year old. They keep saying we are going to have to worst winter we’ve had in decades in Texas….needless to say we ARE NOT prepared!

    Ummm Campfire Drinking Chocolate from Garage Grown…I. NEED. IT. NOW (did I mention that my toddler spilled a full glass of ice water on me while eating out tonight and I’m still shivering??)

    I like the Veyo Mittyz for my son. They have fun designs. Thanks for the gift guide we may need some ski googles as we planning to take the kids skiing.

    That vacuum crock is calling out my name! (That Haiku bag would get daily use, however….) I’ve been wanting one since you featured it in an earlier blog post this year. Everything is great to have or to gift, as usual. Many thanks to all the generous sponsors!

    If I with the GGG GC, I would get:

    • Ultralight Backpacking Stove by Vertex Outdoors and
    • USB CampLight by SunJack

    Well I would take one of everything please! But seriously the Bergans Snøtind Snowsuit looks amazing and I think both of my boys need one of those!

    So many great ideas. I have been looking into some base layers for my 13 month old and will try the WeeWoolies. I also think the vacuum canister would be great for camping. Thanks for all the ideas.

    Those mittens are so cute! I might have to try making mitens like that for our younger one 😉 The bifold wallet looks great too!

    I already ordered some of the Nite Ize ties, but would love to have the bigger ones and the bug light for my 3 yo son. Would also love a pair of the Veyo mitts and the MyMayu boots! There are so many great gift lists and products right now… Thank you for compiling yours!!

    So many great ideas! I love the idea of the ice cream maker as a family gift. I know my son would love a Spooner board when he gets a little older; I have heard great things about them. And from Garage Grown Gear, I keep thinking about the MyMayu boots. I feel like comfortable footwear for kids can make outdoor time so much more enjoyable. I think I’ll have to show my husband this list 😉

    My hubby would love the Inova STS Headlamp! He is always trying new ones, and I think this would be the ticket! Thanks!

    Hmmm… Those jackets on GGG look really nice! And so do the leather gloves (both for men). I love quality gear! P.S. Tales of a Mountain Mama rides around on the back of my mini van, ha ha! 🙂

    i love garage grown gear! and i think i’d get the veyoz mitts for my little guy, although i might be tempted to just use it on something for myself too, like their signature leather gloves

    Oh wow! I wish I had found the Joey Jacket when my boys were small! We hiked everywhere, so I was always all wrapped up in various Kangaroo carriers. Amazing!

    I found your blog last night and am thrilled! I too work for the NPS and get my boys out as often as possible. Going to peruse your past posts – I’m sure the gear reviews and your experience will provide us with great outdoor inspiration!

    Great holiday gift guide, thank you for posting! If I won the Garage Grown Gear gift card I would definitely pick up Muddy Munchkins Boots for my little one. And maybe a Pale Rail by Pat’s Backcountry Beverages to surprise my partner with a beer on the trail!

    I need some wee woolies for my kiddos! We are planning a mountain trip, and we freeze as soon as the temp dips below 70 lol!

    I love that you do these giveaways and share about all the great gear out there. The snowsuit looks amazing definitely on my list for the next kiddo sizes. I already have the vacuum crock and adventure skirt on my own Christmas, fingers crossed! Thanks for always sharing and adventuring.
