This is not your average gift guide – it is not a “top ten” or “must have” list of items that your friends and family may or may not want. This gift guide does not simply recommend specific items, instead it outlines broader categories then suggests a few items the adventurer on your gift list may need.
Also, this list starts out with some of our favorite small businesses that offer both adventurous and lifestyle products. Adventure Feet First is a small business that truly depends upon people who seek out small businesses to support so we want to do the same in our gift guide.
