Best Gifts for Outdoorsy Men | Mens’ 2025 Gift Guide

Knot Tying Kit: I also put this in my outdoorsy kids gift guide but I feel like working on life skills as an adult is so rewarding. So if they learned them as a kids and want to freshen up, or if they never learned how to tie nots, this is a fun gift.

Sunglass Lanyard: Perfect if you have someone in your life who wears glasses and doesn’t want them slipping off when they are out on adventures.

Redmond Real Sea Salt: Okay this might seem really random, but if you have someone who always likes to add a little salt to their food, get them these mini salt shakers and a chapstick holder to put it on their key chain. That way they always have salt with them! I got this for my dad on his birthday and he loved it.

Universal Socket: This universal socket instantly adjusts to any size or shape nut. (It says 7mm to 19mm nuts if that means anything to you). Would make a great stocking stuffer!

Microfiber Cooling Towel: These lightweight microfiber towels are so lightweight and fast drying, perfect for travel, for camping, or for keeping in the car for emergencies. They help keep you so much cooler in warm temperatures. We use them at theme parks, on hikes, at the beach, or just anywhere we get hot.

Camp Stove Toaster: While it may not look like much, this is a toaster to use on your stove when camping. My parents have one of these we grew up toasting bread and bagels on. It stores away tiny so it doesn’t take up much space but it is such a nice addition to any camp kitchen.

Uberleben Fire Starter Tool: Everyone needs a flint and steel striker. Whether they use it to practice making their own fine, throw it in with the camping supplies, or reserve it in their 72 hour kit, I think this is a great gift.

Battery Storage, Tester and Organizer: Having all our batteries in one place is so convenient and it’s nice to actually know what we have in the house.

Worst-Case Scenario Handbook: I think this is such a fun (and useful) book to flip through and read. From wrestling an alligator to evading drones to landing an airplane if the pilot passes out, has illustrated, step-by-step instructions to handle so many “worst case scenerio” situations.

Dr. Squatch Natural Deodorant: This is my husbands favorite deodorant and while it’s not the most exciting gift, it’s something he need and will use! I love that it’s aluminum free and it smells great.

Fire Starter Squares: These are great to keep in your camping bin, 72 hour kit, or even under the car seat if the man in your life ventures outdoors a lot. I love how you can just break off a small square to start a whole fire and save the rest for the next adventure.

Yamslam Mini Version: This is a fun and easy game me and my husband love to play. It’s basically yahtzee but you don’t need any paper, just the dice and chips. I like games with pieces like this so I don’t have to worry about anything blowing away if we’re playing outside.

Mini Watercolor Paint Set: I think a paint set is sucha nice gift and this mini one is perfect if you have an outdoorsmen in your life who likes to spend time alone in nature. It’s lightweight and small enough to just throw in a backpack to paint whatever inspires them while outside.

Slackline Kit: If you’ve never tried a slackline, basically it’s a piece of webbing you tie between two trees and tightrope walk across. It’s extremely fun and addictive. My husband and I can be out in the park for hours walking the line!

Wooden Throwing Game: A Finnish outdoor throwing game for 2 or more players where participants take turns tossing a wooden pin to knock down numbered pins and score exactly 50 points. Perfect to pull out camping or at family events!

Car Door Step Hook: This hooks onto the inside of your car door latch. Then you can step on it to get to the top of your car if you have a roof rack, cargo carrier, ski rack, or anything on top of your car. This little hook is SO handy!

JBL Mini Portable Speaker: I love my JBL speaker and this makes the best gift. They are small enough to take anywhere, and have amazing sound quality. This one has a strap as well so you can hang it on a bag. This speaker is also waterproof, so you can have it with you at the pool or the hot tub with no worries.

Bluetooth Adapter: If you have someone who flies often, this headphone transmitter syncs your wireless headphones to the airplane tv. We use this on every flight because we don’t have wired earbuds anymore and I don’t like taking the ones from the airline. This is such a practical gift for the traveler in your life.

Bike Bungee Tow Rope: Okay this is for the dads. If they love to mountain bike and want to bring their kids, get thema tow-whee rope. This hooks on to both bikes and lets the adult pull their kid up the hill. It’s a great gift for the biking dads who want to spend more time out with their kids.

Boot Dryer: If you (or the person you are getting a gift for) lives somewhere snowy or rainy in the winter, get the a boot dryer. There’s nothing worse than heading out in the moring and putting on damp boots. This will dry them out and warm them up so much faster and make them a lot happier.

2 Pack Throwing Axes: If you’ve never been axe throwing, it’s a ton of fun. These are great, high quality throwing axes for anyone who loves the hobby and wants to have a set of their own.

National Geographic Rock Tumbler: This is such a fun hobby to start. If you have someone in your life who enjoys collecting rocks or just enjoys being outside, get thema rock tumbler. They might discover a new passion for geology along the way.

Wood Carving DIY Kit: This is great for anyone who enjoys whittling and wants to expand their skills. Or anyone who you think would enjoy a new hobby. My dad made these birds for all of his grandkids and they are such a special treasure for all of us. This has everything you need to get started incuding: 2 wood carving blocks, a carving knife, sharpening supplies, a birdie template, and 3 types of sandpaper.

Portable Car Jumper: This is my favorite thing to keep in my car. I can jumpstart my own car even if we are way up in the mountains. It is not only a portable jump box for car battery, but also a portable power bank and LED emergency lamp. We can road trip even more confidently with this in my trunk.

Coleman 3-Burner Camp Stove: Great for camping, tailgating, or even having on hand for a power outage. It has great wind blocking panels and its self lighting so you don’t need to have a lighter or matches on hand. Runs on propane canisters.

Garmin Fenix Watch: Logan has had the Garmin Fenix 5 for a few years now and absolutely loves it. He exercises everyday, loves to rock climb, mountain bike, hike, and just be active. When I got my Garmin Fenix 7 last year, we noticed some nice upgrades and I decided it was time for him to get a new watch. I had a coupon for it which helped bring the hefty price down a bit, but I know it’s something he is going to use and love every single day for years to come.

Amazon Kindle: I love using books to unwind and relax and my Kindle lets me always have a book on hand. It’s nice and lightweight so great to bring when traveling and even backpacking. Capable of holding thousands of book-the ultimate gift for readers.

Child Bike Seat and Handlebar Combo: This front-mounted bike seat is perfect for the dads out there who want to get out biking with their kids. It’s meant for kids ages 2-5. We have a similar bike seat and it makes it so easy to take kids out biking and get them excited to learn to ride themselves.

Waterproof Binoculars: A pair of binoculars is such a great gift. Perfect for any outdoorsman to throw in their backpack to see what’s across the canyon, get a closer look at a bird, or scope out their hunting area.

Garmin inReach Mini: This small satellite communicator is a way you can let your family and friends know where you are when you’re out with no cell service. I always bring mine on the trail, or when I camp, especially in the backcountry, and I make sure my husband always has his so I have peace of mind while he’s out.
