Fujinon Techno-Stabilized Binoculars from Photo Warehouse
The best kinds of gifts are always those that we would never buy for ourselves, and binoculars are always a welcome addition for any adventurer. Designed to scope out far-flung locations, or pry on wildlife from afar, these Fujinon binos are some of the best on the market. Not only do they offer an innovative techno-stabiliser, and the strength of Fujifilm’s famed technology, but they also offer up to 14x magnification — all without you having to move a muscle.
Swiss Army Knife from Everyday Needs
It goes without saying that practicality should be at the heart of every gift for an adventurer, and there are few items more suitable than a Swiss Army Knife — an indisputable fact, according to literally anyone who has one. This iteration from Everyday Needs features an elegant, sustainable European walnut wood, that offers the perfect combination of outdoorsy and chic.
The Weekender Bag in Navy from Honest Wolf
The essential addition for any summer travel is the Weekender bag from Honest Wolf, a local accessory brand bringing quality wool goods back to their former glory. With the textile sourced from husband and wife founders Sam and Sophie Hurley’s 3,300-hectare third-generation farm, this bag fits in overhead cabins — perfect for those who love a last-minute adventure.
Diorizon Hiking Boot from Dior
Should hiking be your loved one’s favourite pastime, Dior’s latest boot will see them trekking into the summer in high-end style. Boasting the same kind of aesthetic as our beloved tramping boots, but with a more slender rubber sole allowing for a lighter, easier step, these are the kind of boots you find yourself reaching for more often than you would think (whether a hike is on the cards, or not).
Reto 3D x Retrospekt Camera from Splendid Photo
The best adventures are ones with lasting photos that keep the memory alive, and nothing is quite as nostalgic and sweet as a savoured roll of film. This camera in particular is perfectly pocket-friendly, allowing anyone the chance to capture precious moments in the beauty of 35mm.
