Here are my favorite gift ideas for outdoorsy women in your life this holiday season. From travel essentials to hiking must haves to pampering products, I’ve got you covered with gifts for any budget.
If you have a woman in your life who loves to travel, get outside, or just enjoys a good gift, I’ve got some great ideas for you. All of these things I either currently own or want to own. I want the gifts I give to be useful and get used. So I made sure to include only the best in this year’s Women’s Gift Guide!
While most of these gifts are geared toward the traveling, adventurous girl, I had to also include some of my favorite beauty products and fashion favorites because like most girls, I have lots of interests and love different things. You can want to be outside and look cute at the same time.
I have everything divided up by price so you can find anything in your budget. If you want to look at my other Holiday Gift Guides you can check them out here! I also did a Gifts for Outdoorsy Girls in 2022 that has some amazing ideas as well, if I do say so myself.

Gifts Under $25
Travel Toiletry Bottles
Travel Toiletry Bottles: Having these on hand to refill and take on all my trips is so convenient, I don’t know how I traveled without them before. A staple in any luggage.
Retractable Car Charger
Retractable Car Charger: This charger is so nice. The retractable cords make sure I’m not losing them or getting them tangled and it makes my car feel so much more clean and organized.
Merino Wool Glove Liners
Smartwool Glove Liners: For the girl who always has cold hands. I decided to try out these merino wool glove liners under my mittens last year and I’m surprisingly satisfied. Usually I can’t wear any kind of glove because my fingers need to be by each other to stay warm (hence the insulated mittens). But when I hike with my kids I have to take my mittens off a lot to help them with their snacks, zip up a jacket, or something like that. I leave these liners on and my hands don’t freeze when I take off the mittens.
Scrapbook Album
Scrapbook Album: Such a fun way to preserve memories. I recently bought this to get into scrapbooking myself! These ones are simple and come in so many fun colors.
Portable Charger
Portable Charger: This is such a useful tool on trips, camping, or being out and about anywhere. I like that it’s not bulky and it plugs right into your phone, so you don’t have a cord in the way.
Travel Medicine Organizers
Travel Medicine Organizers: These are useful and cute. I have one for my medicines and supplements and one for the kids on all of our trips. I like the different sized compartments, and that the size is easy to fit into any bag.
Personal Safety Alarm
Personal Safety Alarm: This personal safety alarm brings me so much comfort when I’m out alone. It’s really simple to use too, so I don’t have to worry about a learning curve if I need it. All you have to do is pull out the pin at the top, and it starts flashing a light and sounding an alarm, and won’t stop until you put the pin back in.
Utility Spork
Utility Spork: This long handled spork is perfect for camping trips. It does everything I need for both cooking and eating. It comes in handy on all my adventures.
Mesh Zipper Pouch Bags
Mesh Zipper Pouch Bags: I use these for everything! Activities for my kids, arts and crafts supplies, travel essentials, cords, etc. Nice all purpose ziploc bags, and so many for such a good price.
Milk Frother Wand
Milk Frother Wand: Milk frothers make all my drinks so much better. Supplements, greens, hot chocolate, etc. It adds a touch of luxury to the routine of protein powders and drinks. I like this one specifically because it comes with a cover so I don’t have to store it on my counter.
The Pink Stuff Cleaning Paste
The Pink Stuff Cleaning Paste: It truly is a miracle worker. I find my self reaching for the pink stuff on nearly every cleaning job. It works on so many surfaces and gets out every stain I use it on.
Silk Pillowcase
Silk Pillowcase: Silk pillowcases help your hair retain moisture and keeps it shiny and healthy. I think everyone should have one, but especially women with curly hair. I adore mine.
Watertight Medical Kit
Watertight Medical Kit: This is the best medical kit to take out on the trail or to the campsite, because it’s waterproof, so you have everything you need no matter where you are.
Makeup Sponges
Makeup Sponges: I love having these on hand, and this pack is affordable and comes in so many cute colors. I keep one in my travel toiletries bag, one in my bathroom cupboard, and then have the rest ready to go when it’s time to switch them out.
Makeup Eraser
Makeup Eraser: My makeup melts off when I use these and they’re reusable, so I can keep them on hand for a long time. It’s an eco friendly option, and such a cute one, too!

Biodance Overnight Face Mask
Biodance Overnight Face Mask: These masks have gone viral on TikTok, and for good reason. They are so moisturizing, and make my skin feel so soft and smooth when I use it.
Seat Belt Cutter and Window Hammer Tool
Seat Belt Cutter and Window Hammer Tool: I love items that help me feel a little more safe, protected, and prepared. A seat belt cutter or window hammer will help in a situation where your car goes under water or inso a place where you lose access to your doors. These would be great to have in an emergency and are easy to store in your car so you can reach them in a moment’s notice.
Smartwool Hiking Socks
Smartwool Hiking Socks: These are one of my favorite gifts for outdoorsy women. They aren’t too bulky and they are so warm for hiking. Thriving on a hike mainly comes down to being prepared, and I know I don’t have to worry about my feet staying protected from the elements when I have these.
CeraVe Night Cream
CeraVe Night Cream: My favorite night cream right now. I love how it makes my skin feel, how it prevents wrinkles, and it’s great for all types of skin, so even if my skin changes and I need different benefits, this cream has me covered.

Badger – Headache Soother: As you can see from the rest of this post, I am a huge fan of Badger brand. This headache soother is so helpful and filled with natural ingredients, and is filled with essential oils and focuses on scents used in aromatherapy.

Thermarest Seat Cushion: A simple and packable seat for hiking, camping, or even sporting events. I keep it in my car so we can use it in any of the many situations where it can make me or the kids a bit more comfortable.

Hive: A strategic abstract board game for 2 players where the aim is to surround the opponent’s queen bee while avoiding their own pieces being surrounded. It’s also perfect for camping because the pieces won’t blow away or be damaged by water! I have more Game Ideas here.

Kahtoola Microspikes: I have had my microspikes for 7 years now and they are still in great condition. I have hiked hundreds of hikes with them and have never replaced them. I have never found another brand that is as high quality as Kahtoola. These are great for packed down or icy trails.

FP Quilted Carryall: There is a reason this bag has been so popular lately. It is a perfect catch-all bag, it’s so comfortable to wear around, and it comes in so many cute colors.

Insulated Waterproof Mitten: I wear these on all my winter adventures. They are so warm and cozy, they’re durable, and they’re easy to take on and off while I’m helping the kids on the trail, grabbing snacks, adding and removing layers, etc. These mittens are a holy grail item for my winter hiking.

Fubuki Boots: These boots have become extremely popular and for good reason. They are really lightweight, but incredibly warm. I have a tall pair I used and abused last winter and never had a cold toe (which is a big deal for me). I just ordered a pair of these short cream boots that I’m excited to wear this winter! Perfect for ski days, walking the dog in the snow, a yurt trip, anything!
