Christmas is something of an adventure in itself. Buying the right gift for the right person is always a bit of a challenge and if, like us here at GS, you’re looking to get a present on a budget then it’s an extra hurdle. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of great presents ideal for the adventurer in your life and we’ve trawled through and found some of the best. Let’s take a look at some of the best travel and adventure Christmas gifts for under £35. 

Canyon Multitube – £8.95

A good neck tube has a range of great uses. Obviously, they’re ideal for keeping the chill away from your neck, but you can also use them as a hat, as handy sweat bands or even as a way to keep sand out of your mouth if you’re in the dunes or desert.

We really like this Multube from Canyon and it comes in at a very Christmas budget-friendly £8.95. 

Stance Curren Crew Sock – £10.99

Socks are never a bad idea at Christmas. Sure, they might be a bit of a festive cliche but, when you boil it down, a fresh pair of socks is always going to come in handy. We really like these rather festive pair from Stance, which are made from performance mesh for great airflow and even some ‘moderate’ cushioning throughout the whole sock. 

The best bit? These high-quality socks cost just under £11- ideal for a low-cost gift.

Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Classic – £26

There are few tools quite as iconic as the Swiss Army Knife from Victorinox. As timeless today as ever, it’s been a go-to bit of kit for all types of adventurers. It’s also available for a very impressive £26 and comes in a variety of colours so you can personalise it to whoever you’re buying for. 

Inside its compact, 21-gram body lies seven individual tools including scissors and a nail file. If you’re ever caught in a pinch, the Swiss Army Knife will surely help. 

Danner Leather Care Kit – £32

Everything tends to slow down over Christmas and it’s a great time to give your trusted boots a bit of care and attention. It’s why Danner’s Leather Care Kit could be a great – and very useful – gift this festive season, packing a whole lot into a setup that costs just under our best gifts for under £35 budget. 

Included in the setup is a high-quality pig-hair brush, a bottle of suede and leather cleaner and a very cool storage bag complete with the iconic Danner logo. 

Craghoppers Women’s Niamh Hat – £20

Even after the big day is over we’ve still got plenty of colder days to endure, which is why a warm, snuggly hat can prove a must-have. We like the Niamh hat from Craghoppers, which features a cable design with a microfleece headband for extra warmth. 

Plus, it’s part-made from recycled polyester taken from recovered plastic bottles, you’re helping the planet a little too. 

SiS Hydra Flask – £8.99

A good water bottle will make an ideal active lifestyle gift, regardless of what activity you’re up to whether it’s cycling, running or even just travelling. This Hydra Flask from SiS offers enormous value at £8.99, but it’s still able to keep liquids hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours, so it’s got some great tech to back that low price. 

With a 750ml capacity, the Hydra Flask also has a leakproof cap so you can sling it in a bag without fear that all your kit’s going to get wet. 

Yeti Rambler Stackable Mugs – £35

We love Yeti’s rugged drinkware and range of tough-and-ready coolers, but it’s these Rambler Stackable Mugs which make for an ideal Christmas gift. For one, they come just within our £35 budget but also bring a stylish way of drinking espresso or shorter coffees. 

We also like that they come as a pair so that the £35 price tag becomes even better value. In true Yeti fashion, they’re also fully dishwasher safe.
