Vuori Women’s Performance Joggers

“Can you go wrong with the softest, comfiest pants around? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say anything negative about these joggers. In fact, oftentimes after purchasing their first pair, they’re back to collect all the colors (myself included in this count). They’re the perfect gift for nearly everyone – including yourself. These are my go-to joggers for all activities including a light hike, running errands, going to the gym, and relaxing at home. I suggest getting the size you would typically wear in most things if you want them fitted and sizing up if you’d prefer a looser, more ‘loungy’ fit.” Click to shop Vuori Performance Joggers in Men’s and Women’s

Thread Wallet

Classic and simple. Some of the best gifts are those that are classic and simple. With everyday use, chances are they are in need of a new wallet. Easy to slip in the stocking and into their pockets or bag. We are also loving these fun colors and designs from Thread Wallets! Check out all other wallets here.

 


Freestyle Watch

They say that everything in fashion comes back in style. Like this retro inspired watch that has all of the nostalgia of our childhood, and we are here for it. The Shark Classic Leash from Freestyle features an alarm, dual time functionality, and stopwatch. Depth rated for 330ft/100m. Because it’s a Freestyle, it has a mineral gloss lens to prevent scratches and a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. For someone wanting a little more of a classic style, we love Bertucci

Opinel Knife

I was gifted an Opinel knife this year and I am forever raving about it to others and feel like my cool level just went up 10 points just by owning it. Built in the French Alps, Opinel knives are designed to last a lifetime and will often be passed down from father to son. Simple, sturdy, efficient and easy to use, this essential tool remains unchanged since 1890 but is unmatched in its design. This timeless knife is for people who enjoy the outdoors, a must-have tool for professional or amateur handymen, or anyone on your list.

 

 

Everyone Loves A Gift Card

Tried and true. For the ‘hard to buy for person’ on your list, get them a gift you know that they will love and appreciate. An Alabama Outdoors eGift Card will make sure they receive exactly what they want!

 

 

 

Last but definitely not least: Socks!

Socks get a bad rap of being ‘the boring gift’ every holiday season. It’s time to change that. When you know how comfortable and breathable they are on your feet during those long treks, you will be asking everyone for socks. Their thinnest outdoor sock yet, the Smartwool PhD Outdoor Ultra Light Watercolor Stripe Print Crew Socks are perfect for hiking, running, cycling, and everything outdoors. Shop here for all Smartwool, Fits, Swiftwick, and Darn Tough socks.
