Getting my dad a Father’s Day gift was always easy. It was either a golf shirt, a John Wayne movie or a book about the Old West. These days it’s a gift card. Buying gifts for my husband is another story. There are few presents I’ve given him for any holiday over the past decade that he hasn’t returned. There was the watch that hooked up to his cell phone so he could see who was calling (he returned it because it was almost as big as a cell phone), there were the bowling shirts (I’m not a hipster!), and then there was whatever tech gadget that Wired was highlighting at the time.
Once we discovered camping it got a little easier. We didn’t have a lot of camping gear to start out with so we gifted each all of the little we needed like headlamps, walkie talkies, and a camp stove. Here are some of the coolest outdoor gifts that I’ve either given my husband (or he’s given me) or I want to give him. Some of the items may seem pricey so do what I did and wait for a sale.
