Whether you're on the hunt for the perfect gift for an outdoor enthusiast or building your personal wish list, we're here to help
We went straight to the source - our dedicated team members - and asked them to share the treasures they've bestowed upon loved ones or earmarked for their own adventures. The result? A carefully curated list of their top outdoor picks. Dive into this exclusive selection and discover the best gear and gadgets that have won the hearts of our very own team members.
Who it’s for: Any outdoorsy person who’s not afraid to get dirty–but likes a clean car.
Whether it’s a hike in the afternoon sun, a day at the beach, or a float trip on the river, no one wants sweat, sand, weather, or dirt gunking up their front seat. This cover folds up into its own headpiece when not in use and tucks inside most glove boxes, so you can pull it out whenever you need it. Warning: this universal cover fits most front seats, but it hasn’t been confirmed to fit reindeer-drawn sleighs.
Who it’s for: Who it’s for: Everyone.
Really, everyone can use a good set of tie-down straps. What sets these straps apart? The integrated wire keepers help keep the straps in place and make it easy for one person to strap down a load alone. This set also comes with a durable storage bag, so your giftee can toss the kit in the back of their truck or in their garage until it’s needed, without worrying about losing a strap in the meantime.
Who it’s for: The outdoor-enthusiast who’s a bit…unlucky.
Accidents can happen to anyone, but we all know that person who’s just a little more accident-prone than others (or maybe it’s you?). If this person also happens to be a hiker, cyclist, camper, or traveler, do them a favor and gift them this handy first-aid kit. This little bag contains 61 medical items, including adhesive bandages, gloves, antiseptic pads, gauze, and a portable case to carry it all. Keep your loved one safe and give yourself a little peace of mind knowing they’re prepared for minor mishaps.
Who it’s for: The commuter without a garage.
Who loves scraping ice and snow off their windshield before their morning commute? Not me, not you, and probably not anyone on your gift list, either. If your loved one doesn’t have access to covered parking (either at home or in their work/school parking lot), the etrailer Snoblock Snow and Ice Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover is one of those thoughtful no-brainer gifts they’ll use for years to come. Loop the cover onto the windshield, then simply remove it to shake off any snow and ice in seconds – no scraping required.
Who it’s for: Anyone with a vehicle.
Do you know someone who just bought a new (or new to them) vehicle they want to keep in top condition? Help them protect their floorboards from winter slush AND add a touch of style to their ride with WeatherTech floor mats. These custom-fit, durable mats trap water and debris and keep them off the carpet. WeatherTech offers colors to match every interior, from classic black to stylish tan to sleek gray.
Who it’s for: Your kids, your spouse, or anyone else you don’t want to see stranded.
A NOCO Jump Starter isn’t exactly a pair of diamond earrings, but sometimes practical gifts show your love the most. If your loved one drives a vehicle, they’re at risk of encountering a dead battery and getting stranded. A NOCO Jump Starter is a great way to ensure they always have a backup plan and can come to their own rescue. The Sport model is the perfect device to keep in every car, while the Pro model is ideal for RVs, trucks, and other large equipment. They even come with LED work lights and the ability to charge up cell phones in an emergency.
Who it’s for: Campfire lovers.
If you or your loved ones enjoy camping in cooler temperatures, you’re going to need a way to stay cozy. With burn bans being enacted in many public and national parks, this Ignik FireCan Fire Pit is a great way to enjoy a campfire without risking the ire of Smokey the Bear. This pit has a grilling mode for cooking up your favorite campfire foods, and because it runs on propane and not wood, you can pack up and leave without a trace.
Who it’s for: Outdoorsy people, tinkerers, DIYers, anyone who works with their hands.
Someone combined the convenience of a pocket knife with the functionality of a utility knife, and that’s how the Performance Tool Folding Utility Knife was born. Whether you’re performing routine maintenance on your car or RV, slicing open that super-taped gift box, or tinkering around the house, this utility knife will come in handy. The clip makes it easy to connect to a belt or pocket, so it’s never far when you’re working. Swap out your blades with the push of a button to stay sharp.
Who it’s for: The person on your list with a motorcycle, boat, mower, or any gas-powered machine.If you know someone who has to fuel up their boat, mower, ATV, motorcycle, or dirt bike, make their lives easier with a Tera Pump Fuel Transfer Pump. No need to lift a heavy gas can or spill fuel all over their garage or driveway. Tera Pumps sit safely on the ground while the manual or battery-powered pumps fill the gas tank. They’ll thank you every time they use it.
Who it’s for: The spontaneous adventurer who enjoys hitting the slopesThis holiday season, surprise the winter sports enthusiast in your life with the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier, a gift that brings extra excitement to snowy adventures.

This versatile set will have them dicing and slicing like a pro, no matter where they roam. With its non-stick Santoku knife, compact carry case, and handy cutting board, it's the perfect recipe for elevating their outdoor cooking skills.
Who it’s for: That car junkie friend This Christmas, you don't need the "Fast and Furious" crew to make your car feel like a superstar.

These straps are the perfect gift for anyone who's tired of the traditional tie-down hassle.
With these ratchet straps, you can secure your gear quickly and securely, as if you are wrapping up your cargo like it’s a present.

Who it’s for: That camper who is all about the fire
Imagine your loved one in a winter wonderland, surrounded by snowy scenes, and in the middle of it all, the Ignik FireCan Portable Propane Fire Pit is blazing away. With just a push of a button, they've got warmth, ambiance, and a fireside glow, making you the best gift-giver in the family. And it's eco-friendly too. Wildfires consume around 6 million U.S. acres each year, contributing to 20 percent of global carbon emissions. This has led to more burn bans, limiting where you can have a traditional campfire. The Ignik FireCan, running on propane, provides a safe solution, allowing your loved one to enjoy the outdoors without environmental worries.

The WeatherTech CupFone Phone Holder is the perfect holiday gift for your loved one because, let's face it, if there's one thing you can bet on during the holiday season, it's travel.

It's like having a personal assistant in your cup holder, and it won't ask for a holiday bonus! Unlike me, who accepts their holiday bonus in the form of Christmas cookies and chocolate milk.
Who it’s for: The truck owner that enjoys campingCamping is great, bonfires are great, eating a hot dog cooked over said bonfire is great, sleeping on the ground in a tent is decidedly less great. With the BedRug custom truck bed mat, turn your truck bed into a people bed and sleep the sleep of kings. When your friends wake up at 5am covered in dew with a backache that they won’t completely shake until noon, you’ll be snoozing away, happy you prepared for comfort. Just make sure they save you some of the eggs they made for breakfast; a comfy bed is no reason to go hungry after all. And when you’re not camping, you can use the softer bed liner to protect your precious cargo. No more worrying about scratching furniture or damaging your truck when those same tent relatives ask you for help moving their couch.
Who it’s for: The relative that loves to take road tripsYou hope to go your entire life without needing emergency measures like this one. But the peace of mind that is instilled when you KNOW that if your loved one’s battery dies, they have the tools necessary to get their vehicle up and running again can’t be put into words. Batteries are at their most vulnerable in the cold climates, and I don’t want to imagine my family members stranded out in the middle of a winter storm over the holidays. Make sure they will always get back to the safety of their home this holiday with the NOCO Genius Sport Jump Starter.
Who it’s for: The trailer-owner that wants to protect their investment
We get it, you love your trailer, or maybe you love what it hauls, or maybe you love THAT it hauls. No matter how you slice it, your trailer is important to you. Ours are important to us too, and that’s why it’s so important to protect them. This etrailer Hitch and Coupler Lock set will make sure that your sleigh is exactly where you parked it, every time. No one on their way to Santa’s naughty list will be able to steal your precious towables once this coupler lock is in place..
Who it’s for: The boater that wants to keep their stuff dryWe know it’s not boating season, but that doesn’t mean the boater in your life isn’t daydreaming about next summer’s marine adventures! Don’t let the holiday spirit distract you from your summer plans! With the GSI Outdoors Lexan Gear Box you or your giftee can keep all of their important belongings safe and dry no matter where their boat takes them. And let’s be honest, being on the good side of someone with a boat is ALWAYS a good place to be.
Who it’s for: That person who brings their dogs (or their crock pot) EVERYWHERENobody wants to deep clean their car. And just trying your best to keep it clean will only take you so far. Eventually you will take your dogs for a ride, or you will spill a drink, or throw some muddy/snowy gear in the back. And you’re stuck: now it’s either deep clean your car, or live with the mess you’ve created. What if I told you there is a third option? With some preparation, all of those messes could be avoided. With a cargo protector, make sure that cleaning up the messes that life throws at you (or into your trunk) are as easy as possible to clean up. No more dog hair, no more mud, no more hassle. This is a must-have gift for you, for your friends, for your family, for anybody that drives and doesn’t want a mess in their car.
Who it’s for: The hiker that wants to stay hydrated and prepared, or that camper who wants to be a BIT extra
You can never have enough “insert favorite beverage here” when you’re out camping. Whether that's water, kool-aid, hot coffee, or a cold drink, this leather wineskin will make sure that you have a comfortable place to keep a full liter of whatever liquid you need at a moment’s notice (yes, it’s also fantastic for wine). Make sure you’re storing your liquids in style next time you go camping, and don’t be caught with cottonmouth in the wilderness.
Who it’s for: Anyone that drives. Literally anyone.It is no shocker to anyone that winter is a dangerous time to be on the road. From the biggest truck with the most snow-ready tires to the smallest sedan that struggles in the rain, there is no vehicle that is 100% safe when mother nature decides that we’re ALL celebrating a white christmas, whether we want to or not. This holiday season, make sure your loved ones are prepared for the worst with a winter road safety kit. This kit comes with a set of GripTrax plates to help you if your vehicle is stuck in snow, and if that isn’t enough, there is a windshield protector to protect from snow accumulation, an ice scraper to keep your windshield clear, and an LED flare to signal for assistance. We wish we could give the gift of “don’t have to drive in inclement weather anymore”, but this is definitely the next best thing.
Why Ashley Y gifted it:
This is a great gift to give to someone you love! Especially if it's someone that travels more often. It even comes with a windshield cover! I don't have one yet so this is definitely on my wishlist!
Who it’s for: The person who LOVES customizing their thingsWe all have that friend or family member who is always asked to borrow their truck, trailer, etc. Maybe they helped you move, maybe they hauled a load of raw materials for your latest project, or maybe they were there when you bought that new washer and dryer. But they’ve always been there when you need them. This holiday season it’s a great time to pay back that kindness with a bit of customization. Endorse their favorite sports team, hobby, or any other interest with a custom hitch cover, all while keeping the hitch receiver free from debris when it’s not in use. This gift makes a fantastic stocking stuffer for the hitch-owner in your life.
Who it’s for: The car owner that wants to protect their vehicle from the elements
We’ve all been there, maybe you left a window down, or maybe your vehicle wasn’t as waterproof as you thought, but getting moisture in your vehicle can be a major inconvenience. Putco Rain Guards make a great gift for any vehicle owner, from the busy soccer mom, to the hard worker, to the car camper who is looking for a bit more airflow without the risk of being rained on. We won’t tell anyone if you get a set for yourself too. Protecting your vehicle from the elements is a great way to increase its longevity, and in some cases, even its resale value. Give the gift of practicality this year with Putco Rain Guards.
