Yeti’s new water bottle is sure to be a hit gift this holiday season. The brand’s latest offering is a lightweight, BPA-free plastic water bottle instead of another bulky insulated metal bottle that’s still incredibly durable.

Teva ReEmber Terrain

The Teva ReEmber slipper has been one of our favorite gifts for years, but this holiday season, Teva released a new version: the Teva ReEmber Terrain. These shoes have thicker, more supportive soles and more traction on the bottom so you feel more secure as you walk around camp. We’ve been trying on a pair for ourselves and love the updated sole. However, these new slippers don’t have a heel, so they slip off easily. We also found that Terrain slippers run large, so you may need to order a size down.

If you know someone who keeps forgetting drinks, get them this insulated jug from Yeti. It features the brand’s double-wall vacuum insulation to keep your drinks cold for hours.

North Drinkware The Longs Peak Pint

It’s no secret that whiskey glasses and beer pints are a gift that goes away, but we still think you should consider North Drinkware’s glasses because they’re so cool. There is a 3D model of a real mountain at the bottom of each glass.

Flikr Fire Personal Concrete Fireplace Kit

When the weather turns cold and you can’t go camping, one of the things you’ll probably miss the most is sitting around a fire making morels. While it’s not as good as the real thing, this mini fireplace is a great way to bring a little of the outdoors indoors.

We really like the Solo Stove, thanks to its sleek design and low-smoke flame. It makes a great large gift for those who can’t always be in the woods.
