Holiday Gift Guide For The Outdoors

When it comes to holiday gift giving, we’re both firm believers in finding something meaningful that lasts season after season. This year in particular we’re looking to buy local and opt for sustainable and local where possible. With that in mind, we’ve gathered together some ideas for the outdoors lovers in our lives, whether it be directly contributing to their next adventure, or conjuring up the outdoors feeling whilst cosying up at home. We hope you find it inspiring!

A Little Something (around €20)

  1. Emily Art Print. We couldn’t help but add a namesake print, even better that it inspires some nature whilst indoors (and of course fantastically named after one of us).
  2. Beebee wraps beeswax wraps. A planet-friendly alternative for plastic wrap with cute patterns – great to keep your climbing/hiking snacks fresh without single-use plastic.
  3. The Eight Mountains by Paolo Cognetti. A coming of age story about friendship, and relationships not only between friends but also with the mountains, set at the foot of Monte Rosa in Italy.
  4. Chilly’s Bottle. Keep your water cool or your tea warm, we’re never without our chilly’s bottles.
  5. Intro into climbing. In Milan a lot of the gyms offer a climbing ‘happy hour’, taster session, giving an intro lesson plus the traditional aperitif. Perhaps outside of Italy you may not find the ‘happy hour’ version, however check your local gym for taster sessions or beginner lessons for a nice gift idea for your outdoorsy friend.

  2. We rise by lifting others print A little inspiration to get us motivated
  3. Samphire scented candle A scent of the British coastline to light up a gloomy day.
  4. Snap’s gym duffel bag 100% recycled polyester bag to transport your gear to and from the gym. We love the baby blue.
