Nine Gift Ideas for Little Adventurers

There's nothing quite like sharing your love of the outdoors with the little ones in your life!  Whether you're taking your toddler on their first canoe ride, getting your son on a day hike, watching your neice grip a bouldering wall or keeping a newborn grandkid warm through the winter, we've got some great gift ideas for the kids on your 'nice' list.

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Sippy Cup

Food-grade stainless steel is the material of choice in the brewing, food and winemaking industries because it doesn't retain or impart flavors--which means your kid's apple juice tastes like apple juice.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Kids feel big drinking out of a water bottle just like mom and dad's, while you rest easy knowing it's hygienic and safe.  Designed for small hands so it's easy to hold, with a large mouth for easy cleaning and a spillproof cap.  Klean Kanteen bottles are designed to last a lifetime--even when the 'lifetime' is just getting started!--and come with a lifetime guarantee.

Smartwool Baby Booties

Shoes, bike wheels, Twix bars...good things come in twos.  Like this adorable package of two warm, cozy smartwool baby booties!  The colourful patterns are sure to be a hit, and since they're made of Merino you know they're natural, breathable, sustainable and completely itch and odor free.  Oh....and did we mention machine washable too?  Yep.  Mom and Dad will thank you for that feature!

Warm Winter Hats

Think of them as an insurance policy for winter fun!  These single- or double-layer hats are made from toasty warm, soft, itch-free merino wool with excellent temperature regulation to stop your kid's noggin from getting too hot.  They're cut for little heads, with a 'just right' sizing loose enough to be comfortable, while snug enough to stay in place while storming a snowfort or tumbling off a toboggan.

Kids' Rash Guards

Provide the water lovers in your life with sun and cool water protection with a short or long-sleeved rash guard.  Prefect for protecting young torsos from SUP, wake, or boogie board rash with SPF 50+ protection that can't wash off during a day in the water!  A great Christmas gift to get young water lovers excited for the upcoming season.

Sawyer 38' Youth Paddle

No kid wants to just come along for the ride...they want to participate!  Let young paddlers dip their oars in early with these beautiful pint sized paddles.  Choose from four unique power face designs featuring kid-friendly critters.  The back side has space to write down their first paddling adventures and what they saw along the way.  Kids can feel part of the adventure as they learn basic paddling techniques, and the paddle makes a great memento for the wall when it's eventually outgrown.

Deuter Kids' Schmusebar Backpack

Little backs aren't meant to carry big loads.  Get your boy or girl set up with their own bag, sized specifically for little bodies.  Perfect for adventures in the playground, toting daycare necessities, or heading out on a hike with mom or dad.

Kids' Life Jackets

Give the gift of peace and mind for mom and dad!  There is nothing more important than keeping little folks safe on the water.  Our infant, toddler and kids life jackets are designed specifically to fit smaller frames and always keep kids heads resting out of the water.  A must-have for paddlers, boaters, or anyone with a cabin.

Warm Winter Outerwear

Boys' and Girls' winter gear should be waterproof, durable, and move with them so little bodies can get up to all sorts of snow-loving mischief and still stumble home warm and happy.  Give a gift they'll make use of all winter whether building snowforts, hitting the slopes, riding a toboggan or learning to skate!

Chariot Child Carriers

Chariot has been the go-to name in outdoor child transport for the last 20 years.  Whether you stroll, jog, bike, hike or cross-country ski, a child carrier is the best way to keep your littlest ones on the go.  The Chariot carriers adapt easily to almost any outdoor activity and terrain so you never have to feel tied down.  Plus they meet all general safety standards and Chariot's own additional internal standards, so you know your 'cargo' remains safe.  The ability to take your kids easily on nearly any outdoor excursion?  Ok... this gift might be just as much for you as for them!
