Top 10 Gifts for Outdoor Lovers from Free Air Life Co
The holidays may look a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean all of our favorite traditions have to change. In fact, given the on-going pandemic, I think keeping a few of our favorite traditions is more important than ever to make our “new normal” feel a little less isolating.
I know the holidays aren’t only about gift giving, but I would be lying if I said it wasn’t one of my favorite parts of the season. I love shopping small and finding the perfect, unique gift for my loved ones, taking the time to put some extra flourishes on the gift wrapping and watching their face light up when they open it. Not to mention, doing a little shopping for myself in the process.
I was recently invited to Duluth by Sarah at Free Air Life Co to get a little sneak peek of all the amazing things they have perfectly curated in the store just in time for the Holidays and Small Business Saturday.
The store is jam-packed with amazing sustainable, eco-driven brands who give back to the environment, like United By Blue, who cleans up 1lb of trash out of waterways for every item sold, and TenTree, who plants 10 trees for every purchase.
Not to mention, they also feature a plethora of local Minnesotan artisans that you can only find on the North Shore.
So without further ado, here are my top 10 gifts from Free Air Life Co that I think would be absolutely perfect for the outdoorsy people in your life, and maybe a little something for you too because you deserve it after this hellscape of a year, am I right?!
Outdoorsy Sweater
This sweatshirt is the softest, coziest thing! You can fold up for a cute cropped look, or wear a little oversized for that casual but comfy vibe.
Pure Joggers
Joggers and leggings are literally all I want to wear right now. They’re perfect for working from home and hitting the trails. Also, POCKETS. They have POCKETS! This is not a drill.
Campfires and Cocktails Hoodie
I mean, who doesn’t love Campfires and Cocktails?! Pair this super-soft hoodie with a campfire scented candle and a bottle of their favorite spirits and you might just win best gift-giver of all time.
United By Blue 9L Sidekick Bag
I know holiday gift-giving is about giving to others, but I absolutely had to pick up this bag for myself! I am literally always on the hunt for the perfect bag and I think this just might be it. Small enough to use as a purse, but large enough to hold my water bottle, camera, and a plethora of snacks?! I mean, it’s honestly too good to be true! Not to mention, United by Blue removes a pound of ocean trash for every item sold, so I feel pretty awesome knowing I got a killer backpack while also helping to protect killer whales (and all their ocean friends.)
Always Cold Hoodie
I’ve never related more to a hoodie than I have to this Minnesota Made, Always Cold hoodie. Perhaps I’d be a little less cold if someone got me this hoodie (hint, hint)
Twin Pines Cuffed Beanie
I am of the belief that you can never have too many hats. Casual enough for all-day wear, but warm enough for getting outside, you can’t go wrong with this cuffed beanie from Twin Pines. And you can feel good about the fact that with your purchase, Twin Pines will collect a pound of trash.
Soft Hemp Sunrise Bartram Sock
Is it even the holidays if you don’t give the people you love a nice pair of socks? You might want to pick up two or three pairs and gift one to yourself.
Moon Valley Organics Mint Soap
It’s not called essential for nothin’! We’ve all stepped up our hand-washing routine this year, and your loved one will be over the moon excited about receiving this Moon Valley organic soap bar. And you can feel good about knowing that 10% of the proceeds will go to protecting pollinators.
Lumberjack Koozie
This winter koozie is the perfect stocking stuffer (or treat for yourself!) Designed in Minnesota to keep your drink the perfect temperature and your hands toasty warm no matter how cold it is outside.
CBD Fruit Chews
Give the gift of better sleep with these CBD infused fruit chews. Broad-spectrum hemp extract helps calm the mind, while valerian root promotes relaxation and better sleep.
Don’t miss all the amazing Holiday sales Free Air Life Co has coming up that are just too good to pass up!
This year might be one of the toughest we’ve all had, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the small things that bring us joy. I wish you all safe and happy holiday season!
