6. Portable Picnic Table
Whether they are avid campers or simply enjoy making frequent and fun use of their backyard, the best gifts for outdoor enthusiasts in your life will often be functional, and a nifty portable picnic table is no exception. Because they are easy to fold, easy to carry and easy to clean, is stable, have cupholders and a bottom shelf for extra space, you can have a picnic nearly anywhere, from the beach to a national park, making this one of the coolest and most useful gift ideas for outdoor lovers.
7. LED Flame Speaker
Imagine the scene: the sun is going down on a postcard perfect day in the forest or a sunny day spent on the beach, energy levels are coming down, smiles are wild, and everyone in your traveling party is ready to relax with some delicious food, a few beverages and great music (maybe Taylor Swift’s evocative Folklore, if surrounded by woods). An LED Bluetooth speaker has a warm yellow light at its core which will set the scene perfectly and is one of the best gifts for outdoor enthusiasts to make the most of their time outside.
8. Performance Hiking Socks
The best hiking socks on the market are also the best outdoor gifts for a woman who loves to go for miles and miles, thanks to the remarkable breathability of great socks. Any true outdoorsy person will tell you that a day spent in nature can be made or broken by the quality of socks on their feet.

10. A Book About Outdoor Adventures
Reading books about outdoor advantures will motivate and inspire anyone, these types of books are one of the best gift ideas for outdoor lovers. One book that I have recently read is Bill Bryson’s A Walk In The Woods. If the outdoor enthusiast in your life hasn’t yet read this modern classic you could add it to your list. Bryson’s charming and humorous style of writing will delight even non-readers, and his way of telling the history and ecology of the Appalachian Trail, as well as the characters you’ll meet along the way on this legendary stretch of natural wonderland, will make everyone eager to lace up their hiking boots and take a good long hike.
