Looking for the perfect gift for the adventurous woman or nature lover in your life? Look no further! Backcountry Women is here to help you find the gear that will fuel some fun outdoor experiences.

Whether they're a seasoned hiker, a weekend camper, or just starting to explore the outdoors, we have something for everyone. Here are our top picks, all featuring affiliate links that support Backcountry Women with your purchase (at no extra cost to you!).

For the Trailblazer:

• Packable Protection: The unexpected downpour or strong wind is no match for the Outdoor Research Aspire 3L Jacket, Outdoor Research Helium Rain Jacket, or Rab Downpour Eco Jacket - Women's. These lightweight and packable raincoats easily stuff into a backpack, offering a quick shield from the elements.
• Conquer Any Terrain: Help her hike with ease and stability with a pair of Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Poles or Black Diamond Trail Trek Poles. These adjustable poles offer excellent support and reduce impact on joints, making even challenging hikes more enjoyable.

• Battery Banks
  Rugged, water resistant power banks keep essential devices charged during long trips. Check out Powerbanks by Nitecore on Amazon, or the Anker Powerbanks (such as the 10,000 mAh with USB C Input / Output version) on Amazon.

• Headlamps
  Rechargeable headlamps with adjustable brightness settings are essential for hands-free lighting during evening hikes or campsite activities. Try the Nitecore Rechargeable Headlamp from Amazon, or check it out at Garage Grown Gear.

For the Camp Queen:

• Honcho Poncho by Thermarest: This cozy piece of gear is one part fireside layer, one part blanket, and 100% awesome. Insulated and water-resistant, the Honcho Poncho allows  you to wrap yourself in warmth while relaxing at camp. Find it at Valhalla Pure Outfitters, the Thermarest website, or search on Amazon.
• Delicious Camp Meals: Upgrade her camp kitchen with the Sea To Summit Frontier UL One Pot Cook Set OR MSR PocketRocket 2 Mini Stove Kit. These lightweight and durable sets are perfect for delicious meals on trail or under the stars.
• Fuel for the Adventure: Boiling water for coffee or camp meals is a breeze with the MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe Stove. (You can also find it on MSR's website here.) This compact and efficient backpacking stove is a must-have for any camp chef.

For the Prepared Adventurer:

• Hydration Must Have: Clean drinking water is essential for any outdoor adventure. The Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter or Versa Flow is a lightweight and easy-to-use filter that removes harmful bacteria from backcountry water sources, ensuring you can stay hydrated and healthy.

• Hygiene Gear
  Compact, eco-friendly hygiene kits with biodegradable soap, or reusable wipes like the Kula Cloth are must-haves for any adventure. See links for our favourite hygiene gear here.

• Fire Building Gear
  Packable fire starters help you make a reliable campfire, even when you don't expect to have one on your adventure. Add some of these fire starters to your favourite adventurer's stocking! Check out our favourites here.
