25 Under $25 Outdoorsy Stocking Stuffers

This is a great stocking stuff for any female on your list. We have used these for years and always make sure we have them on our packs for adventures. Cute prints disguise what’s really hanging on your bag and the other side has antimicrobial absorbent material. Just pee, pat dry, fold and snap and get back to the trail. Great for kids too!

Don’t throw away that holey jacket! Grab some NoSo patches and repair it instead! We love that these come in a variety of shapes, patterns, sizes, and colors. A simple stocking stuffer for anyone. They even collaborate with big name brands and have branded patches, typically on the brand’s website.

These fizzy tablets help clean your bottles. Pop them in and let it do its things. We have been using these to help clean all parts of the bottle, including straw stops, just put a tablet in a bowl of water with the lids.

Maps make great stocking stuffers! Get a map for an upcoming trip or a trip they would love to take someday. We love the waterproof, tear resistant maps for our adventures.

A compass is an important piece of survival equipment for anyone spending time in the backcountry. Knowing how to use it is equally important. Take a class and practice in your backyard before you head out.

A lightweight, durable mug is essential for many backpackers and campers. Toaks is a brand we have trusted for years. Perfect for oatmeal, tea, or collecting some blueberries along the trail.

Pocket guides of any variety are great stocking stuffers. These pocket guides are packed with good information in a condensed format with a nice spiral bound for durability.

We also love these Pocket Naturalist Guides from James Kavanagh and have several for different areas we live and have visited.

Gear repair supplies make great stocking stuffers, small and most often not too expensive, but can really save the day out on adventures. Some team favorites include Tenacious tape, Aqua Seal, and nylon patches.

These are one of my favorite winter headbands. Merino wool keeps it stink free, even after sweaty XC skiing adventures. You can even get matching hats and the whole family can coordinate.

A safety whistle is always good to have when exploring (along with the 10 essentials). This whistle has a waterproof pea and can be heard in multiple directions, with an appropriate pitch.

Trivia cards are great conversation starters around the campfire, boredom busters on road trips or just an easy way to increase your knowledge a little at a time.

These collapsible cups are very convenient for all sorts of adventures. TMM Team Member Laura and her family used them on their thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. They mostly used them for hot cocoa!

These little bottles are handy for the traveler, great for toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. I love that they have a flip lock to keep from accidentally opening. They are also food safe!

This little thing was a huge breath saver on our last beach vacation, I used it to blow up all our floaties and it worked great. You can use for sleeping pads, pool floaties, balls, and more. You can also use to deflate, which was very helpful in getting all our floaties back in our bag.

TMM Team Member Jess’ family really enjoys this little lantern. It is a 110 lumen lantern and LED flashlight in one.

These straps are so versatile! We have some wrapped around snowshoes to keep them together when hanging. TMM Team Member Mary and family uses them bike packing. Many people use them for holding skis together, so many possibilities!

This lightweight filtering straw is great for emergency kits or when travelling to areas with questionable water. Plus, when you purchase a LifeStraw, child in need receives safe water for an entire school year.

This UNO game can go anywhere. We have even played in the pool using the edge as our table. We love that they come with a hook so they can dry off and the plastic cards won’t get ripped or torn easily.

These notebooks are great for documenting your journey, adventure, or just daily life. Field Notes makes a variety of notebooks, but these Expedition Series ones are meant to stand up to the toughest conditions. Pair it with a Space Pen so you can write almost anywhere, even underwater.

These collapsible water bottles are very handy. They are lightweight and don’t take up much space when empty. They fit in a jacket pocket on ski days or fill up for hiking with the kids.

A spork is a must have for most campers and backpackers, and some people just like to have a spork around, never know when you might need one! We are a fan of Toaks and this titanium spork is great for all the above.

One of the originals, this water bottle is more than just a water bottle. Store a first aid kit, put in snacks, make a hot water bottle to sleep with and more. This is the original 32oz size, but Nalgene makes all sorts of sizes to meet your needs.

You might be wondering why this might be here, but there are lots of things in nature that glow under black light! TMM Team Member Mary has used them to find scorpions. You can also use them to find certain minerals or even fungus.

This was one of my very first headlamps, and its still a great option for a budget friendly or beginner headlamp. It puts out 300 lumens of light with three brightness levels and can run on AAA batteries or the Petzl Core rechargeable battery (not included).

This lightweight folding pocket knife might be little, but its sharp. Great for pockets, keeping in the car, or your adventure bag.
