Our favorite eco-conscious gifts

We recognize that the most eco-conscious gift is often one that is secondhand, made, or you already have. But when you're looking to treat the outdoor enthusiast in your life (or yourself) with something special, it helps to choose items that are made with care—for the planet and the people who roam it.

This guide features thoughtfully designed, lower-impact gear and goods for outdoor lovers. Whether you opt for something new, secondhand, or handmade, we hope this list inspires you to think critically about your gear.
