Under $15

Can-Coctions Can-panion

The Can-Panion clips on the side of a canoe, kayak, or camp chair to keep their beverage handy wherever they go.  No more reaching for a water bottle rolling around in the bottom of the boat, or kicking over your can of bubbly around the campfire!

The PlatyPreserve

Take your vino on trail with a lightweight, collapsible container that eliminates bottle breakage issues. It's also great around the house - whether you drink one glass or four, no oxygenation means whatever wine is left will stay fresh and tasty in the PlatyPreserve to enjoy at your leisure!

Waterproof Map Case

On the trail or on the water, keep their maps clear and dry with a waterproof case.  The only thing worse than having no map is bringing a map and having it end up illegible.  Help them stay on course!

Rite in the Rain Notebook

A durable notebook with waterproof pages so they can take notes, plan meals, or jot down journal entries in any kind of weather.  Great for keeping field notes and trail journals.

Under $25

Stemless Wine Glass

Keep their beverage in the glass with this unique, hard-to-tip wine glass. Perfect for those who like to enjoy their wine on unstable, rough terrain or rickety camp tables.

Tikkina 2 Holiday Gift Pack

Just for Christmas - Buy the Tikkina 2 headlamp at its regular $19.95 price and get the rechargeable Petzl Core battery (a $39 value) for free!  A compact and lightweight headlamp, perfect for everyday lighting needs and use around the campsite.

Wintertrax Ice Treds

Attaches easily to any style of shoe so runners, dress shoes or boots won't slip during winter weather.  Perfect for winter runners, dog walkers, or those who just need to navigate the treacherous ice of their workplace parking lot.

Leatherman Micra

The Micra is one of the most compact multitools available, with ten useful tools including scissors, a knife, and screwdrivers. Made of stainless steel so there is nothing to rust, it can easily be attached to a set of keys so the tool they need is always in reach.

Under $50

Lasso Security Cable

Don't let their adventures be cut short by an opportunistic thief - a security cable provides peace of mind by locking a canoe or kayak to the car roof while out on the road. Easy to use large double loops with 4 digit combination.

Under $100

Set your giftee up to explore a fun and challenging new sport.  Our slackline sets contain everything needed to set up at the park, a campsite or right at home.  Our staff line gets used by folks from 5 up to 65 - a great challenge for adventure junkies of any age.
