Looking for some things to fill your adventure lover’s stocking, but don’t want to break the bank to do it? Here’s 20 ideas all within $20 that they will love and most importantly, use!

1. One of the best things you can get a traveler and hiker is a Travel Mug & Lid, I love this one from REI Co-Op, but HydroFlask also makes some nice lightweight ones! They have a few color options that are under $20 currently!
2. Hand Warmers are a must! These ones come in different pack sizes with a few options being under $20.
3. An more sustainable option for hand warmers are these Rechargeable Hand Warmers from Amazon that are $20. These are perfect for the hikers in your life and the always cold people! (I love mine)!
4. A favorite piece of mine and one that comes with me on any adventure from hiking and backpacking to hanging out by the river and that is my Pack Towel. It’s the perfect size and absorbs perfectly and is $15.98.
5. Storm Proof Matches are $9.95 and make such a good gift for people who spend anytime outdoors!
6. Something a hiker could never have enough of is Beanies. This REI one is cozy and a great price!
7. Chapstick Sets are necessity! I go through so many over the whole year and have one in every bag, so I know other hikers use them as frequently as I do!
8. Snacks are important, one of my favorites are Honey Stinger Waffles, they have a lot of protein and provide energy on the trail!
9. Socks are a hiker’s best friend, these REI Trailsmith Merino Wool Socks are $16.95 and come in fun different patterns and colors.
10. For your hiker gals, a Kula Cloth is seriously game changing on the trail!

14. I love these Hiking Passports, they’re the perfect size for taking on all adventures and they have different options like campgrounds, National Parks, and more.
15. This paperback 100 Parks, 5,000 Ideas book has so many great ideas for anyone who likes exploring National Parks.
16. Yaktrax Traction Cleats are great during the Holiday season for snowy hikes and adventures and come in multiple sizes!
17. Something to keep all of the most important gear dry during unpredictable weather and river days, this Dry Bag is a great idea and price!
18. Keeping with the National Park theme, a Scratch off Map is a super fun gift and a great way for them to keep track of where they’ve visited.
19. If you hike at all, you know down jackets and gear can get pretty dirty which makes the Nikwax Down Wash Direct a perfect and super useful for the hikers in your life!
20. This Anti Chafe Balm is a life saver for hikers, bikers, backpackers, and everything in between.
