Christmas is comingfast and it can be tough to think of good presents for those who love the outdoors. Nature lovers profess an affinity with the minimalism of the wild, so what can you give them that they really want?

Here’s a few great ideas for outdoor enthusiast friends:

Hong Kong trail scratch map

There is kilometre after kilometre of hiking and running trails and you could spend a lifetime trying to do them all. By the time you are a third of the way through, you have probably forgotten the ones you’ve done. But with the Hong Kong trail scratch map, you can hang it on your wall and scratch away the areas or trails as a reminder and a homage to your days in the mountains.

A running watch

Runners and hikers are obsessed with tracking their kilometres and effort. If you’re feeling generous, why not get them a new watch, like a Garmin or a Suunto. The range of products on the market is huge, from the Garmin Forerunner to the Suunto 9 or the Polar Vantage.

How to nail your trail running New Year’s resolution

While all perform similar tasks, find out what makes your gift receiver tick and match the specific capabilities with their hobby. For example, a mountaineer might like an altimeter on their watch, a sailor might like a barometer, an ultra runner might appreciate better battery life instead of all the gadgets, and a road runner might appreciate the ability to link to a heart rate monitor for more accurate beats per minute.

An experience

Memories last longer than material gifts, so why not get your friend an outdoor experience. There are so many ways to explore Hong Kong. You can get them rock climbing lessons, giving them the skills to go sport climbing on one of Hong Kong’s many crags. There are a number of companies that offer lessons, such as HK Rock Climbing Adventure.
