I hope these gift guides make holiday shopping easier and help you find the right thing for your outdoorsy someone. Smart, useful picks under $100—from my favorite Snow Peak mug to the latest Mountain Gazette issue.
01. Mountain Gazette — $70 Subscription

Large-format, twice a year, and worth the wait. I subscribe and read mine outside when I can—smart stories, big photos, zero filler.

02. Snow Peak Ti-Double 450 Mug — $49.95

Took this photo while reading outside at camp in the Chattahoochee National Forest.
A friend recommended it and now I’m passing it on. I keep underlining—good science, clear takeaways, and a nudge to get outside more.

04. Rumpl Bevy Sack™ — around $9.95

Small and practical—easy to toss in a bag, and you’ll end up using it more than you think.
05. Mammut Tree Wool T-Shirt — $75

Soft, breathable, and not precious. I wear it on trail days, and it still looks fine when I roll into town after.
My mom always said to buy gifts you’d want yourself. I’d be happy getting any of these. They’re smart, useful, and made for life outside. If you’re looking for bigger gear ideas, check out my 2025 Gift Guide: Best Gifts for the Outdoorsy Person.

She values quality and craftsmanship in everything she buys—from outdoor gear to everyday clothes and furniture. Her choices may seem expensive to some, but she believes in buying less and buying better. Longevity matters, both in terms of function and style. Her couch is five years old and still sold at Design Within Reach—that's the kind of timelessness she looks for.
