It’s here! You need a super special gift for that super special someone. And of course you want it to be an outdoor gift, a gift that will encourage them to adventure and enjoy the benefits of extra time outside. Ok, maybe that isn’t your top criteria for gift selection but you would pick these anyway.
These gifts
- encourage outdoor time
- easy to make
- quick for the last minute
- should be able to find supplies locally
Let’s get to it!
Subscription Boxes
There are some really fun and unique subscription boxes out there these days. These boxes come in all shapes and varieties. You just pay for the box or package and it arrives on your door regularly. Price and delivery depend on the box, but usually you pay for a box monthly to get it delivered monthly filled with goodies. These prices are for individual box but you save a bit of money when you order more at once.
Postfly
Flies and flyfishing essentials, $27.95/month, delivered monthly.
Pick which type of fish or fly tying equipment you prefer. “Flyfishing essentials” means it also includes gear like leaders and tippets. This sounds like the perfect flyfisherman gift.
Fun Run Box
Running gear for all levels, $37/month, delivered monthly
To keep your running motivation up, get this runner box. The box will get you not only gear but challenges as well. Pick a subscription based on your running level and even specify shirt, sock, bicep, and calf size for gear fit to you.
DIY Outdoor Gifts
Homemade gifts are really the most memorable. Kids are happier with a fort made of boxes than what actually came in the boxes. Make an impression with these easy and fun gift ideas.
Homemade Marshmallow Shooters
Kids and marshmallow shooters go together like PB&J. Instead of making the shooters yourself, you can put together this kit for the kids to assemble themselves. And if your gift is for a kid at heart, they are still a great time.
Garden Tic Tac Toe
A few rocks and a little paint and you have a fun garden Tic Tac Toe. You can do the usual X’s and O’s or switch it up with any other fun painting.
Natural Blocks
A little cutting and sanding is all you need for natural outdoor blocks! Almost any wood will do from logs to thick branches or leftover scrap wood from other projects. They work best if they are different sizes and shapes. You should read that whole post for more ideas about a natural play space.
The Gift of Outdoor Is Time
A super simple but amazing outdoor gift is time. Time to connect, time to destress, time to exercise. No time spent outdoors is wasted.
Whatever gifts you choose for the season, we hope that we encourage you to spend a little more time outside. We appreciate all of you in every season and hope you have a good time!
See you Outside!
