It's almost December 25th and that means you might be scrolling through amazon trying to figure out what prime eligible items will make that weird outdoor person, in your life, a happy camper on Christmas Morning. Well, I'm here to help. Maybe? I've put together a list of stuff that at least I would love to receive. Everything on the list happens to be under $25 (because let's be real, we're all a bit strapped for cash around this time of year) and extremely useful. Happy Gifting!

Friction Labs Chalk - $7-$25

For the climber in your life. People make fun of me for loving this expensive chalk, but I seriously feel like it works better than any of the other brands. Plus it's got pretty packaging.

Smartwool Socks - $19

The best socks you'll ever wear. And they NEVER stink. It's insane.

Twist Lock Carabiner - $19

You can never have too many carabiners

The Great Outdoors: A User's Guide: Everything You Need to Know Before Heading into the Wild (and How to Get Back in One Piece) - By Brendan Leonard - $17

This is seriously an amazing guide book. Even for the seasoned outdoors-man, this is a fantastic reference guide on almost all outdoor subjects.

Stanley Classic One Hand Thermos - $20

Beautiful, timeless, and functional. The perfect place for the hot coffee.

Tenacious Tape - $8

A must have for anyone with a puffy jacket, down sleeping bag, nylon tent, hammock, etc. Quick patches that rarely wear out.

Fire Starter - $9

Because someone usually always forgets matches or a lighter.

Carhartt Beanie - $10

For the man or woman in your life. Everyone's got a head that needs keeping warm. And look at all those colors!!!!

Yoga Mat - $15-$20

Even if you aren't a much of a "yogi", a yoga mat is nice to have for stretching, sitting outside, and even as a makeshift sleeping pad. Also great for instagram photos.

Field Notes Notebook - $10

Make sure your adventurer can record all they did on their trip so they can tell you all about it!

Sawyer Products Mini Water Filtration System - $20

This is handy in case of any quick filtration needs.

Petzl Tikkina Headlamp - $20

Headlamps are seriously the greatest invention of all time. And these are SUPER bright.

Power Bank - $25

It's the 21st century and you need your phone almost all the time. So you might as well be able to charge it up even on a camping trip.

Mountain House Meal - $10

Chicken and Rice mountain house meals are so good. I'm not even kidding.

Titanium Spork - $8

You have to have something to eat your nasty morning oatmeal with. Or the aforementioned chicken and rice. (YUM) And lets be real, even if your person owns one of these, they'll end up losing it soon anyway. Might as well give them an extra.

Compact First Aid Kit - $19

This is a no brain-er, yet I most people I'm around (including me sometimes....oops) don't carry a first aid kit with them.

Compact Trekking Poles - $23
