Finding the right gift for your loved one for Valentine’s Day can be difficult, especially if you’ve been together a while. However, for those who enjoy going on the numerous country walks and hikes the Forest of Dean has to offer, it could be easier than you think to find a great gift that will get a lot of use.
By theming your Valentine’s Day present around their love of the great outdoors, you might just find a touching gift that they can’t live without. Read on for some helpful hiking gift ideas that might take your Valentine’s Day a step in the right direction!
Take a hike
If they love to explore during the colder months, then treating your loved one to a high-quality, top-notch hiking coat is a wonderful idea for a Valentine’s Day gift.
Alternatively, hiking trousers also make a good present because people will often splash out on a good coat knowing it will get a lot of wear, however they might not treat themselves to specific hiking trousers as they won’t get as much use out of them.
Having said that, hiking trousers are a great investment if you are a keen walker because they dry quickly when wet, are breathable and allow plenty of room keeping you comfy all day
Personalised products
A personalised boot bag is a useful gift that will get well-used if you are big fans of hiking and walking.
It means that you can throw your muddy boots into the bag and into your car to go home without a second thought on transferring mud and grime into your car.
For more personalised gifts, consider hip flasks and water bottles. Both of which are available in higher-quality, pricier options or more budget-friendly choices depending on the style you choose.
Wonderfully warm
Thick, warm socks are always a must for anyone who loves the outdoors, making a great pair of hiking socks an even better present for your nearest and dearest this Valentine’s Day. There are all sorts of colours, patterns and different types of wool to choose from.
Woollen hats are available as handmade gifts – depending on your loved one’s preference. They’re a thoughtful present that will definitely be used.
For a budget-friendly Valentine’s Day present, woollen ear warmers are the ideal gift for people who love walking and hiking. They’re suitable for men and women as they come in a wide range of styles and colours.
The thought that counts
