10 outdoors gift ideas for adventurous women


1, Personalised enamel camping mug, £23.35 from Etsy
Enamel camping mugs are brilliant for outdoor adventure – they are nigh-on indestructible, and can easily be clipped to a backpack on the go. These personalised cups with leather straps make wonderful gifts for a happy camper – they’ll think of you whenever they have a morning cuppa in the wild.


2, Folding yoga mat, £21.15 from Amazon
I’ve owned this yoga mat for nigh-on eight years and it’s still going strong – it folds up and fits in a suitcase or backpack, so you can get your ‘om’ on wherever you travel without needing to borrow a mat. Not sure how to get started solo? Head to YouTube for some great beginner yoga tutorials.


3, Tulum towel robe, £35.97 from Passenger
Give your favourite wild swimmer a cosy towelling robe to wrap up in after their winter dips – Passenger’s Tulum robe is made from recycled materials and comes in a rainbow of colourways. As it’s made from towelling it’s quick to dry once you’re snug at home, too.


4, A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, Alfred Wainwright, £25.99 from Amazon
Treasured by generations of walkers, Wainwright’s handwritten walking guides to the Cumbrian fells are classic keepsakes for a reason. Get them second hand to give a set a new lease of life – they’re the perfect present for your favourite hiker or Wainwright-bagger.


5, Gift card, from £25
Want to treat someone who loves to collect experiences, not things? A You Choose Experiences gift card covers everything from National Trust visits to Eurostar trips and Jet2 holidays, so they’re the perfect way to send them off on an adventure – and they can pick whatever they’d like to explore most. Giftcard also offer AirBnB gift cards perfect for jetsetters or for giving someone for their honeymoon.


6, Surfyogis Zinc sunscreen, £21.99 from Down the Line

Protect your skin, local reefs and the planet by plastering this natural sunscreen, handmade in Bali, onto your noggin before you hit the water. The dinky pot fits in any surfer’s pocket and a little goes a long way when worn on your T-zone and cheeks.


7, Ocean diamond ring kit, £125 from The Workbench
Carve a wax ring with your design and the Workbench team will cast it for you in recycled silver, a lovely way to make a travel keepsake. You can also add ‘ocean diamonds’ – natural, conflict-free, ethically sourced gems that leaves minimal trace on the environment, so they’re a far better way to respect nature than traditional gems.


8, Fenty mini cleansing bar, £15 from Boots
These cute little solid cocoa cleansing bars are perfect for travel, with a handy little case you can pop in your rucksack. Solid bars mean no issues with liquid allowances in your carry-on, too, so you can breeze through security.


9, Fjallraven Kanken backpack, from £79.95, Fjallraven

The retro classic Fjallraven Kanken Backpack was first launched back in 1978. Made from super durable Vinylon F fabric, it’s now used by fashionable folk as well as day hikers, so it’s a great all-rounder of a backpack and even fits a laptop.


10, Lucky dip stickers, from £3, Etsy
I do love a lucky dip – and these affordable stickers with cheery camping and outdoor themes are the perfect mini present or stocking filler for an adventurous friend or someone who really loves their tent (or just buy them yourself to stick on your water bottle).
