A truly universal gift—whether your giftee is hydrating all the time or not enough, they could surely use a Stanley Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler. The vessel has 40 fl. oz. liquid capacity and double-wall vacuum insulation to keep your giftee's beverage hot or cold. A resuable straw makes it easy to sip on the go (or you can drink directly from the drink opening) and a narrow base assures a smooth fit into nearly any car cup holder.

Looking for a personal touch?

There's nothing better than starting an adventure with a perfectly organized pack. Patagonia has wowed adventures with their Black Hole luggage collection for years. What better gift for your favorite duffel enthusiast than a matching packing cube? The 6 L Black Hole Cube offers plenty enough space and divided compartements to organize accessories, camera gear or toiletries. With an exterior daisy chain, your giftee can lash it onto a pack or clip it into a duffel for secure placement.

If your giftee doesn't like to travel with dirty laundry stinking up the pack, then here's an idea: Thule's Clean/Dirty Packing Cube. An internal TPU divider doesn't merely split the cube into two compartements, but keeps dirt and odor from passing between the sides and beyond the cube. It's sized to fit in most carry-on luggage, so you can stay organized even on those quick trips.

Don't worry, these are not your grandmother's house shoes. With a soft Berber fleece lining and Cloud Cushion insole, these slippers make lounging around the house as cozy as it gets.

This bluesign®-approved hauler from REI Co-op features daisy chains on both sides (great for lashing down a spare puffy or your kid's stuffed animal), an easy-to-grab contoured end handle and a pack-awayable shoulder strap. It also comes with a packing cube that's capable of stowing the duffel itself or can be used as an interior (underwear?) organizer. Bonus: The recycled polyester construction is abrasion- and water-resistant. Buy here.

With several detachable components that can save weight, including a back panel that doubles as a sitting pad, this pack from the REI Co-op is perfect for day hikes when lightweight storage is key. Top rated by customer reviewers, one purchaser says, "This thing rocks! For those looking for a fairly minimalist light daypack, this cannot be beaten for the cost to value."

Wet feet = blister-prone feet. So whether you're naturally sweaty or hiking in high temps, you owe it to your sole to check out a pair of socks with light cushioning like these. The Performance Hike Light Cushion—the brand's evolution of the venerable PhD Outdoor line—has less wool than a full-cushioned sock, reserving the padding in higher-impact zones like the heel and ball. On the top of the foot, Smartwool places thinner, mesh-like fabric that serves as a vent to keep moisture away. "It gives me the benefit of padding without suffocating me," one staffer says. "I get really sweaty feet when I'm hiking, but when I pair the Performance Hike Light Cushion with trail runners, I don't swamp out, even on 80°F days."

The Performance Hike Light Cushion features Smartwool's Indestructawool™ technology, which is basically the brand's way of zoning the merino, nylon and elastane where you need them most without introducing more seams that can chafe or feel annoying. That's all supposed to make the sock more durable—something we haven't tested in a lab but are into. One staffer has logged about 150 miles and a dozen washes on her trusty pair and the socks are no worse for wear. The Performance Hike Light Cushion also has recycled content, and it uses New Zealand merino wool that's ethically sourced—so you can feel good about your purchase. Buy women's. Buy men's.

For folks who just want to boil some water in the backcountry, this is your rig. "It's almost everyone's first backpacking stove," says Tim Bird in REI Co-op's Framingham, Utah, store, who still has his original MSR PocketRocket, along with a few updated versions he's gotten over the years. The venerable stove is simple, reliable, lightweight and affordable—what's not to love?

The PocketRocket 2 is also a triumph of minimalist design: just a burner with a flip-out wire control key and fold-out pot supports. The time from popping open its micro case to full-throated burner roar is quick, as is the cooking speed: It has the fastest boil time of any stove on this list. One reviewer says: "I actually think it's far and away the best of its kind. Packs small and light, takes less than a minute to set up and turn on and boils a few cups of water within two to three minutes."

At just 2.6 ounces, the PocketRocket 2 is a shade lighter than its predecessor. It's also slightly more compact. Even the cookware support is improved. A few users of past PocketRockets had complained that its pot supports were a little rickety, but the ones on this model are more secure thanks to an updated support bolt that provides better tension. Serrated pot-support edges also contribute to creating a secure cookware perch atop the stove. Buy here.

Related MSR models: The MSR PocketRocket Deluxe ($69.95) gives you a push-button piezo igniter and a pressure regulator that maintains a consistent cooking performance in cold temperatures and when the canister is getting low on fuel. With those upgrades, the Deluxe costs $20 more and weighs 0.3 ounces more (2.9 oz.) than the PocketRocket 2.

Once the kiddo in your life has made it through biking lessons, they'll be ready to kit out their ride. Get those bike bells ringing with the Whoosh Basket from Po Campo, which features simple, adjustable bike handle fasteners that work for any size of kids' bike or scooter. An ID label makes it easy to keep track of the basket and a key clip will secure your kid's pair in the zippered compartment that sits inside. A reflective panel on the front of the basket adds a layer of visibility for evening rides. And, as one customer-reviewer points out, this basket works for little bikers still learning the ropes: "I bought this basket for my 4 [year old]'s balance bike, and she absolutely loves having a place to stash her snacks, toys, jewelry and whatever else she finds on our rides."

Hello, sunshine! This beauty slips under the $50 mark. Any friend would be lucky to receive this 325-lumen BioLite lamp, but backpackers will especially appreciate it. A sleek rechargable power source sits at the front of the head so you can kick back and relax, and it's a scant 1.8 ounces. It also comes in a handful of fun colors.

This updated version of the popular vacuum-insulated mug from YETI will keep your friend's joe hot for hours, making it as appropriate for morning commutes and alpine starts as evening camp warmers. And this time, it's much lighter, weighing in at a dainty 8 ounces. As usual, it comes with a removable sipping lid that opens and closes securely and is dishwasher-safe, too. And most importantly, at 14 ounces, it fits enough coffee to actually make a dent in drowsiness.
