Hydro Flask Insulated Water Bottle
Thanks to the double-wall vacuum insulation technology in these stainless steel bottles, the Hydro Flask can keep your hot drinks hot for an incredible 12 hours, as well as keep your cold drinks cold for a whopping 24. These bottles are 100% recyclable, BPA-free, bacteria/odor-resistant, and look awesome too. Standard sizes are great for everyday functionality, but the Moja favorite is the 64oz Hydro Flask Growler, which is perfect for carrying loads of coffee and, of course, beer.
Why they’ll love it:
Everyone needs a go-to water bottle, and for anyone who enjoys hot beverages too, the Hydro Flask serves as the ultimate water bottle/thermos vessel. Got a coffee drinker on your list? Then this gift certainly won’t disappoint.
MPOWERD Luci Outdoor Inflatable Solar Lantern
Probably one of the coolest and most convenient accessories to own, the Luci Outdoor is an inflatable solar-powered lamp. Perfect for all outdoor escapades, the Luci ends the annoyance of bringing lanterns or jerry-rigging headlamp to trees in order to illuminate your surroundings. It’s waterproof to 1 meter, so you can even use it for late-night dips in the river. Compressible and only 4oz, the Luci is a must-have adventure companion.
Why they’ll love it:
The Luci Outdoor might look simple, but its solar and inflatable technology make it an exceptionally versatile light to bring anywhere. This gift’s ingenuity will wow whoever is lucky enough to find it in their stocking—be that your camping cousin or even your grandma.
Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad
The Z Lite Sol is a simple, functional pad, powerful enough to keep you warm even below freezing temps, while still delivering a price that’s hard to beat. And despite its affordability, Therm-a-Rest doesn’t cut any corners on quality. The accordion design eliminates the annoyance of foam pads curling up, and its Thermacapture technology and dimpled construction trap warmth. Unlike inflatable pads, this one won’t puncture—leaving you with a reliable and easy-to-use pad that will last.
Why they’ll love it:
This sleeping pad truly functions well in just about any setting—leaving any adventurer you gift this lightweight, compact, and warm pad to, forever thanking you for all of their cozy nights under the stars.
Petzl Tikka 200 Lumens Headlamp
Whether hiking your way out of the backcountry or sunset sending at the crag, the Petzl Tikka Headlamp serves as a classic, go-to headlamp, reliable on any occasion. With 200 lumens of proximity lighting power, this small headlamp can keep the path in front of you bright, for up to 131 feet away. It offers two different modes, so that adjusting your lighting needs is easy.
Why they’ll love it:
Headlamps are one the most important accessories for any outdoor wanderer to have in their arsenal, and if that special person on your list has somehow subsisted through their life without one, than you ought to take the opportunity to gift them a truly vital adventuring tool. Trust us; they’ll be beaming with excitement.
Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Device
The Rock Rings 3D serves as the ultimate portable training device that lets climb-craven folks throw in a great workout in just about any setting. Using two separate rock units that each have a variety of holds, you can flexibly move and rotate from a single suspension point. And, because they move separately and freely, the Rock Rings allow for a variety of training methods, rather than being beholden to the limited options of a standard hangboard.
Why they’ll love it:
If you’ve got anyone on your list who can’t go a day without pulling down, then they’ll be praising you when you help them get their climb on in any setting, with Metolius’ Rock Rings 3D. Improving at climbing is one life obsession you can feel good about enabling!
PackTowl UltraLite Towel
We at Moja love backcountry bathing (but actually, skinny dipping) … but you know what we don’t love? Packing around soaked cotton towels. Thankfully, the PackTowl UltraLite Towel can hold up to 4 times its weight in water and rings out almost completely in a flash. What other full-size towel have you owned that weighs a mere 3.1oz? But don’t be fooled by its lightweight. This towel’s durable blend makes it an exceptionally tough towel that will endure any adventure.
Why they’ll love it:
Awesome towels are kind of like great socks—you want them, but it’s hard to buy them for yourself. So help a loved one on your list out, by gifting them the lightest, most impressive towel you can find. They’ll be thanking you after their first epic dip in a secluded hot spring with the Packtowl by their side.
Elemental Herbs All Good Goop Skin Healing Balm
As climbers, we do plenty of damage to our hands, practically scraping them on rocks until they bleed. Not to mention, we also open ourselves up to the other elements of the outdoors; like bugs, poisonous plants, and our own general clumsiness, which leads to scrapes, cuts, and other undesirable skin irritations. Elemental Herbs’ All Good Goop created a 100% certified organic healing balm that’s gentle enough to care for chapped lips and powerful enough to cure destroyed hands after a try-hard day at the crag.
Why they’ll love it:
All Good Goop works like magic all over, which means that whether you give this to your crusher girlfriend or your mom, they’ll be psyched to lather their skin in this 100% organic healing balm. With a calming lavender scent and gentle feel, this one’s a stocking stuffing, crowd-pleaser.
Arc’teryx Bird Head Toque
Toque, beanie, or whatever you choose to call it, the unisex, low-profile Bird Head by Arc’teryx keeps any head warm amidst the coldest conditions. Constructed of a merino wool/acrylic blend and insulated with the sultry warmth of fleece, this hat is designed to help endure even the harshest conditions.
Why they’ll love it:
You’ve got to be crazy not to love warm, fuzziness protecting your head in the cold, which means anyone you gift this quality crafted Bird Toque by Arc’teryx to, will be grinning from ear to ear while shredding slopes or meandering snowy streets. This one’s a guaranteed gift winner.
