One of the most popular articles I’ve written was “17 Gift Ideas for Adventurous Women – From ‘Biners to Bags”. Here is a more romantic take on gifts for your adventurous Valentine – male or female.
SPOT GPS Messenger – Show both that you care about your Valentines safety and that you are interested in their travels. The Messenger not only sends a distress signal, it also sends “I’m Okay” messages geo-tagged with a location and a link to an online map. My parents love to follow my track on their topo maps when I travel and it really makes me feel special. $169.99
GSI Stemless Wineglasses – These stemless self-righting glasses are perfect for a romantic evening in the outdoors. I love their ad copy, “As alcohol’s effects become more pronounced with every additional foot of altitude, holding one’s drink can become a real problem. Fortunately, GSI has created these cleaver, self-righting, stemless wine glasses which will help to keep your Merlot and your merino separate, even above 10,000 ft.” Made of stainless steel. $9.95
Sprigs Banjees Wrist Wallet – These little fabric wrist cuffs hold money, credit cards, ID and small mp3 players conveniently and securely. Perfect while running, working out or traveling. $15.00
IllumiNITE Sportswear – Stylish reflective sportswear for men women and dogs. No one wants to wear a funny looking reflective vest at night but safety is a real issue. This clothing line provides an attractive solution using high quality performance fabrics. Affordable, but varies by product. http://illuminite.com/
GSI Java Press & Mug– If your sweetie is anything like me, caffeine is critical to a good mood. The GSI press also comes with a separate insulated mug with sip-top lid, perfect for travelers or campers. Made of BPA-free materials. $24.95
MSR Pocket Rocket Backpacking Stove – I’ve found that I like different stoves depending on the trip. For 3-4 day trips, or in areas where you can purchase fuel canisters without problem, the Pocket Rocket is a lightweight and reliable stove. Boiling water in just three minutes is sure to warm your sweetie’s heart! Read my full review HERE. $39.95
