Do you have friends who are getting married who love the outdoors? While many couples who get married will typically ask for household items for their new home, your outdoorsy friends may be a bit different.
If you want to gift them something they will love and also use, consider any one of the following gifts for your active friends who are in love:
Water Thermos Bottle
If there is one thing that every outdoors person needs, it’s a water bottle. We need water every day, but especially when doing something active outside. The perfect bottle keeps your water cool, so that you can sip on refreshing water to stay hydrated—no matter the weather.
Whether they are active at the gym or consider trail running outside a gym, water bottles are always a great item to have. You can get a “his and hers” set with a pink bottle and blue bottle, or whatever their favorite colors may be. Another idea is to give this gift personalized with their names engraved on them.
Matching Hydration Packs
Hydration is a necessity for the outdoorsy couple. Whether your friends love hiking, cycling, or mountain biking, a set of matching hydration packs allows them to stay hydrated on their adventure. Most hydration packs allow plenty of space for extra items, so that they can carry everything they need for their outdoors’ adventure.
From a smaller fanny-pack with a bottle holder to a larger backpack with a 2l water bladder for those longer adventures, find out which option would work best for the newlywed’s typical adventures.
A double hammock
What could be better than a single-person hammock? For the newlyweds, a double-person hammock. There are some fabulous double hammocks out there that allow plenty of space for the happy couple. Whether they want to take a rest on a day-hike or pack the hammock for sleeping under the stars, you can be sure that the avid outdoors couple is going to love a gift like this one. You could also look for two matching individual ones, depending on the couple’s preference.
A set of hiking boots
While many outdoors people typically already have a pair of hiking boots, you can be sure that if they’re always outside hiking, one could always use a new pair or two. Consider investing in top-quality hiking boots for both bride and groom, so that they are prepared for their next big hike, except this time as a married couple.
Find out their shoe sizes, preferred brands, and favorite colors and give them the perfect outdoors gift—or give them a gift card to REI or North Face.
Walkie-talkies
Walk-talkies (or rather 2-way radios) are a great gift for the newlyweds. Whether they need them for two-car road trips with friends, use them for trail scouting for mountain biking, or simply to stay safe and in touch for any reason while outside, walkie talkie radios are always useful for outdoors people.
Not only can they use them on the trails to stay in touch but they’re also a great gift for when they’re at home and they want to be in touch throughout the day, in a fun way that doesn’t involve their phones.
Cycling Power Meters
Cycling power meters are tools to measure the power a cyclist expends while riding. They’re just the perfect gift for the power couple who’re always going on bike tours and adventures. Professional athletes and cycling enthusiasts alike use power meters to direct their training and improve performance, power, and stamina. This makes cycling power meters a great gift for your outdoorsy friends who often participate in bike marathons and go on long-distance cycling tours.
In Conclusion
Do something different for your newlywed friends who are fanatics about the benefits of enjoying the outdoors. Keep it fun by providing them with the gifts they can use now as a young, outdoors couple wanting to see the country. You know your friends well, so take some time to find the perfect gifts you’ll know that they’ll love.
