The perfect hiking bag is essential for any woman who loves to go outside and explore. This product gives us the best of both worlds, allowing for ample space to carry our essential items while folding up nicely to store when not in use.

I love to write, and I never go on a hike, or anywhere for that matter, without some kind of notebook to write in. This vegan leather notebook is top on my list this year! With 176 pages of vastness, jot down your most precious thoughts!

This small sewing kit is perfect for all your basic stitching needs! I am a huge sewing advocate, and every woman should have basic sewing knowledge! This is the ideal kit to stash away in a knapsack and carry on a hike!

Okay, laugh all you want. My sister bought me one of these as a gag gift one Christmas. I don’t think she realized how much I would use it. If you’re a woman, you know how ridiculous it can be to find the perfect spot to squat. With one of these bad boys, you can relieve your bladder without even getting your feet wet ;)

These are my all-time FAVORITE socks. I have a million pairs, but I have fallen in love with these colors this year! If you’ve never owned a pair of Stance socks, then you have no idea what you’re missing out on! These are best for hiking, or daily winter wears. You can never have too many!

Even a hiking lady can have a cold beverage with her pinky out! This item is on my Christmas list this year. Honestly, I’m not sure why I’ve never owned one before! I currently use my Brumate coffee tumbler daily for various beverages, and it is one of my favs for traveling with! No spills = a happy lady!

Every good camera needs an even better two-sided mic! This little item is unbeatable for the price and has slipped onto my Christmas list for this year! For 15 bucks, that's a steal!

I love a good book by the fire, in my bed, or with a nice glass of wine! As a traveling woman, this has been my go-to reading light for years! I can clip it to my book, hang it over my bed and recharge it in minutes for hours of use! Absolute must-have this holiday season!

A little self-help goes a long way! I was never into this kind of reading, but I stumbled upon this book this year and have absolutely fallen in love with it! I travel with four or five books I have already read, just in case I’d like to refresh my memory and reread something good. This one will sit on my tiny shelf for a lifetime! You need this book because you are a bada** too!

Okay, seems a little silly! But Zach got this for me as a gift last year because I saw it on a FB ad and had to have it. This was the best purchase we have made for my phone. I can sling it over my shoulder when we're on a hike for easy access and hang it off my wrist when I'm in the grocery store!

I don’t know about you all, but I cannot stand the “sometimes” musty stench from enclosed spaces! This here is the perfect stocking stuffer gift! Find a fragrance you love, twist, and stash away for a fresh scent that will linger for weeks!

Every adventurous woman owns a beanie or two. I know I do! This is the perfect woven cap to add to your collection! Keep your noggin warm with style during all the winter outdoor adventures ahead!

I am not necessarily afraid to come in contact with a bear. Then again, I wouldn't want to get caught out in the woods without a way to scare one off! This perfect stocking stuffer gift will keep her feeling safe all year long!

Gifts $25-$50.

This is the perfect gift for women who want to showcase and keep track of each state they travel to! It is small and takes us minimal space, but the memories accompanying it will last a lifetime! This item is personally on my Christmas list this year.

Eliminate the waste of plastic water bottles and refresh yourself with this beautiful Marigold Kanteen! I love my Klean Kanteen and have had it for so long that I've covered it in stickers from all my favorite places! Zach and I enjoy hiking to the natural springs and returning to the van with a bottle of fresh spring water from the mountain. 32 ounces of pure perfection!

I have the GoPro hero 8 and have ZERO complaints. No need to spend the extra cash on a new one when I love mine so much. This mod has been a lifesaver when I need to attach a different mic or catch the sounds of nature! a true lifesaver for any YouTuber using this model of the GoPro.

I use a propane stove every single day while living in the van! I have grown fond of and come to love how easy they are to work. This is a smaller version of the not-so-very-fancy stove I use daily! This little stove packs up nicely and is compact enough to be stowed away in a hiking bag!

A MUST-have for all the outdoor lady enthusiasts out there! This camping cookware set includes mugs, plates, and silverware for two, a kettle, pot, and sautee pan! This set comes complete with a propane burner top. Each item fits into a small netted bag and is compact enough to fit perfectly in your hiking gear!

Lightweight and durable, this hammock, built for two, is perfect for relaxing under the trees. Pack it up in its compact bag and stick it in your hiking bag to take along with you. Equipped with tree-safe straps, this hammock set is everything you need for a relaxing day in the woods in one tiny package!

Bison leather, durable, compact, and the perfect accessory for the hiking woman trying to carry her gun! I have a concealed carry pack that I love to use in cases where I go out for a short period and don't feel like lugging an entire knapsack. Whether you're packing or not, this is an ideal gift for her peace of mind.

Gifts over $50.

Every traveling outdoorsy woman needs the perfect coffee brewer set for her time in the wilderness. Like most, coffee is one of my go-to beverages in the morning. If your adventurous lady is a coffee lover like me, then this camp set is the perfect gift for your on-the-go gal.

My GoPro Hero 8 allows me to capture all the best footage! Waterproof technology will enable me to view my screen, catch quality audio, and record hours of my favorite moments, even in the harshest conditions! Definitely, a must-have for the traveling woman. You wouldn't want her out there adventuring without a way to share her big moments with you!

While I love a good pair of hiking boots, these Bangs Shoes are some of the most comfortable footwear I have ever owned. Each shoe has a design by different aspiring artists, making them unique. They are made with all vegan material and come in high-top or low- I ask for a new pair of Bangs Shoes for Christmas every year, and after you get your first pair, so will you!

Don't get caught in the wilderness without a way to charge your camera batteries! While I'd consider this Jackery a bit too bulky and heavy to carry on a hike, it is perfect for the traveling lady who needs all the extra power! It is one of our top-used items in our van build! This is the ideal size unit for boondocking and tent/car camping!

This limited edition Opinel folding knife is a perfect size and just the right amount of girly for the outdoorsy woman in your life. For me, a knife is more than just protection. It is a tool that I carry on my person every day. From opening a bag to whittling on a stick! And I absolutely love and would recommend this knife a million times over again!

Leatherman makes it best! This multi-tool is the perfect stocking stuffer for the traveling outdoorsy woman! Fully equipped with a whistle, fire starter, and all the necessary tools for surviving in the woods!

After a long day of travel, a nice rollout sure helps my aching back! I travel with my foam roller to help me stretch out after a workout or roll out my back from sitting in one position from driving all day long. The folding mechanism on this roller makes it easy to stash away but firm enough to work out all the kinks!

No woman is fully prepared for adventure without a cooler/dry box to complete her gear list! This is the perfect size for travel, equipped with a strap for lugging around, and has a small compartment within the box to separate food that can get soggy from the ice. Utilize this cooler as a dry box when you're not storing food, and keep all your essential equipment dry. This multi-use cooler/dry box is the perfect Christmas gift for your outdoorsy woman.

If you've ever been out in the woods and run out of water, you'll understand how essential it is to have a high-quality water filter. While a life straw is excellent for hiking, it can be awkward to lie down next to a creek while slurping out of a giant straw! This water filter allows you to fill all your bottles and water packs to keep moving for extended periods!

Almost every traveling lady I know lugs around a good yoga mat for stretching! This mat has straps for keeping it all wrapped up nice and neat. It is half the size of my current mat and can stow away easily in a tiny space!
