Gift Ideas for Outdoorsy People

With Christmas fast approaching, I wanted to provide a few suggestions in case you’re looking for that perfect gift for your outdoor-loving friends and family.

Gifts for Catlovers

Bobcat Photograph

Bobcat Photograph

A framed 8 x 10 bobcat print would surely be appreciated. Here’s option two available, also showing a bobcat in the wild.

Gifts for Weather Fanatics

This wireless Chaney Instrument Wireless Weather Thermometer is a nice way to read both the indoor and outdoor temperature from anywhere you want inside your house. You cannot go wrong with this gift idea.

A Weather Alert Radio: This clock radio can be used on your nightstand to wake you up in the event of a weather emergency and potentially save the lives of you and your family.

Country Road after an Ice Storm

Weather photos (ice storm and fall snow) photographs are available from Old Dominion Wildlife’s store.

Gifts for Hunters, Cryptozoologists, or Outdoor Photographers

An automatic trailcam is a great gift for anyone who wants to document what is in the woods. This Moultrie Game Spy I-40 Infrared Flash Game Camera (trailcam) is similar to the model I have, but takes better night shots with its infrared flash. A SD Flash Memory Card is a recommended accessory.

Gifts for Wildflower Enthusiasts
