To all the grandmas, grandpas, uncles, and aunts, this one’s for you. We heard your younger relatives are notoriously hard to shop for, and who can blame you? This year, ditch the guessing games and give something bigger. There’s nothing more universal and timeless than the great outdoors, and we all know better gear makes the best memories.

Hiking Packs

Set them up for success in the wilderness with practical gear like our comfortable, durable, easy-to-use hiking packs. The Oasis Hydration Day Pack is ideal for day hikes or casual walks, featuring an included water bladder, smart organization, excellent back airflow, and multiple configurations so they can make it their own. For bigger adventures, the Scout & Explorer Backpacking Packs are adjustable and include smoothly integrated rain covers to keep gear dry and safe.

Blankets

Your loved one can make a chair anywhere with the Acadia Outdoor Camp Blanket, a big plush machine-washable throw that keeps things cozy and colorful. From picnics to outdoor concerts to cold-weather camping, they’ll never run out of ways to put it to use. Plus, it packs down nice and small for easy transport. You’ll never catch them without it.

Camp Cots

Finally, top the holidays off with the gift of comfort. A camp cot with a built-in pivot arm makes setup a breeze, ensuring strong, supportive sleep no matter where their adventures take them-- whether up a peak or in your living room for holiday visiting made simple. Pair it with a packable camp pillow, available in small or large sizes, featuring a soft shell, fiber fill, and a washable, removable pillowcase that packs down tightly for easy travel.

Whether you go for the dreamy sleeping setup, tough hiking gear, or easy outdoor warmth on the go, these timeless gifts will be a hit for the whole family.
