Biking, Hiking, and Camping Gifts...Oh My!

The gift buying season is upon us. Every year I sit down and make a list of the people I need to buy for and struggle to match that list to gift ideas. Face it, some people are harder to shop for than others. Since I'm probably not the only one with this problem, I thought I would share some of my ideas. Today's list is about the outdoor lover in your life. Check back often throughout the month for more gift buying ideas! Good luck shopping! May the deals be plentiful, your cart overflowing, and your wallet not emptied.

1.   Quikclot Sponge

2.   Columbia Watertight Jacket. There's nothing worse than being wet when the sun goes down.

3.   Waterproof Wide Brim Hat

4.   Flashlight. Great for keeping ankles from being sprained in the dark, trust me.
