14 Christmas Gifts Lady Hikers Will Love
I love recommending gifts to people! It’s like a fun little riddle, thinking of what a person with a certain set of tastes and interests would enjoy. All of these are things she will actually use hiking, and if not–they are things she deserves for being such a good outdoorsy girl.
This is part of my Christmas Gift Guides for Outdoorsy Women Series, so check out the other posts in this category as well.
Columbia Trail Leggings
Columbia Trail Leggings, columbia.com
Leggings are popular on the trial, and when I’m not in my Prana Halle pants (below) I can usually be found in something like this.
Fitbit Charge Activity Tracker
Fitbit Charge Activity Tracker, Amazon.com
A Day Pack
My two recommendations:
Osprey Daylite Pack, Amazon.com (Has a hydration reservoir spot)
Osprey Tempest 9 Day Pack, Amazon.com
If you get her the Daylite pack you might want to consider getting her a Camelbak water reservoir.
I have to pee just looking at this, but it is seriously helpful on the trail. With a normal water bottle you don’t have to stop, take off your pack, get out the bottle, etc but with a Camelbak, you just pop the end of the hose in your mouth and keep on going.
Prana Halle Hiking Pant
Prana Halle Hiking Pant, Amazon.com
These are my absolute favorite hiking pants on earth. So comfortable and flattering.
Etsy Mountains Are Calling Shirt
The Mountains are Calling Shirt, etsy.com
This is so cute!
Hike More Worry Less Sweatshirt
Hike More Worry Less Sweatshirt, etsy.com
YETI Rambler Bottle with a Texas-shaped Home Custom Decal
Yeti Rambler 36 oz., Amazon.com
Texas Home Custom Decal, Etsy.com
Nikon DSLR
If she loves hiking, chances are she would love nice photos of the places she goes. I have a Nikon D3300 but have listed a few options for improving her photo game here.
A D3300 is an investment but it is worth every penny for its photo quality.
Tamron Wide Angle Lens
Tamron Wide Angle Lens, Amazon.com
A wide angle lens makes a huge difference when taking landscape shots, and will make her photos look truly professional.
Canon Powershot SX410
Canon Powershot SX410, Amazon.com
Aukey iPhone Wide Angle Lens Clip
Aukey iPhone Wide Angle Lens Clip, Amazon.com
This is an inexpensive option perfect as a stocking stuffer!
Marmot Precip Rain Jacket
Marmot Precip Rain Jacket, Amazon.com
Top Pick by Outdoor Gear Lab and a totally essential piece for a hiker.
Alternate Option: Arcteryx Zeta LT Jacket, Amazon.com (<–excellent quality and very pro looking)
Salomon Women’s X Ultra Prime Hiking Shoe
Salomon X Ultra Shoe, Amazon.com
This is a GREAT trail hiking shoe made by a reputable brand.
Prana La Viva Trucker Hat
Prana La Viva Trucker Hat, Amazon.com
These are perfect for the trail and come in a dozen other colors!
DeLorme InReach Satellite Messenger
DeLorme InReach Satellite Messenger, Amazon.com
If you love her, you probably worry about her going out alone and something happening to her, right? (Have you seen 127 Hours?!) This gadget allows her to send texts or emails with GPS coordinates and trigger an SOS if needed.
Unfortunately my brother did not let me use this to send an emergency signal for a masseuse and some pizza when we were backpacking this summer. Jerk.
- A less expensive option: SPOT 3 Satellite Messenger, Amazon.com This one does not have text capability.
Texas State Parks Pass / National Parks Pass
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
A Walk in the Woods, Amazon.com
This is one of my favorite books! Read my review.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, Amazon.com
Another book about hiking. I have a love hate relationship with this book but its one any woman hiker should read. Lots of relatable moments in there.
Read my review here.
That’s all for now. Good luck shopping and Merry Christmas!
Affiliate links used, but I would recommend these products anyways!
