Christmas Gifts Every Wild Woman Will Love
Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt clueless thinking about Christmas presents for your loved ones? Yup, we know the feeling. Thats why we want to help you out! Our Wild Women team have brainstormed a wishlist of our favourite ideas for every kind of woman in your life, so you can give a gift shes going to absolutely love!
A portable outdoor hammock
This has got to be one of the best things to keep in the boot of your car! You can strap this Grand Trunk tech double with Grand Trunk Straps up anywhere you are; the beach, in a park or on a camping trip. There’s just something so special about chilling out in a hammock, with the sounds of nature lulling you into a day nap.
Field guide to Wild Food Plants
If she loves nature and bushwalks, she's gonna love this field guide that will help her learn about identifying plants and connect with her environment even more. Australia has so many edible plants if you know how to find them.
Salty Aura Picnic Rug
Every wild woman loves lazing on the grass watching the clouds, but sometimes it sounds way more romantic than the reality of laying on spikey bindis and ants nests. Enter: the dream picnic rug - Salty Aura!
A Kindle
Everyone knows that each gram counts when you’re packing your bag for a trip, and whilst we all want to take our entire collection of books with us on holidays it’s simply not possible. Except that it is when you have a Kindle. Small, super lightweight, and with exceptional battery life, this is an absolute game changer for staying entertained on flights, relaxing at your hotel, or passing the time in between fun activities. To add a cherry on top, think about adding an amazon voucher to the package so she can load up her new toy with the latest hot reads!
Bedrock Cairn Adventure Sandals.
It was a sad moment when one of the guests on our recent Costa Rica retreat realisd her luggage was lost in transit, including her hiking boots (devastating!), BUT she had sandals similar to these and did the entire 15 days in them! This included hiking, rappelling, tree climbing, trekking through creeks to find waterfalls and so much more. Safe to say we were all really impressed by how these shoes pulled up by the end.
Jet boil
Another good gift for the nature lovers in your life is a camp stove, because food made outdoors always tastes better! We recommend the JetBoil Stove System for fast, easy and efficient heating. It also goes without saying that a tent makes a great gift too!
Knife
One of the biggest challenges when going camping is leaving behind your good kitchen equipment and making a meal with limited gear. This Opinel Knife set will have your loved one cooking in the great outdoors with ease and enjoyment. It includes a folding corkscrew knife, folding serrated knife, pocket peeler, beechwood cutting board and a microfibre dish towel doubling as a travel pouch. What more does one need in the camp kitchen?
Kim Krans Tarot Cards
Have a spiritually aligned, chakra loving friend in your life? Some cute new Oracle Cards could be just the fresh energy they need heading into the new year.
Beeswax Candle
The most lux of them all. The Only actual natural candle free from all the yucky toxins in normal candles. Plus it comes with is own natural honey scent. We love!
Mystical Journey Oracle Cards
We have never found a more beautiful, encaptulating, accurate, thought provoking set of oracle cards than these. The French artist behind this magic now lives in Melbourne and you'll often catch her products for sale at festivals around Aus.
Tent
The Big Agnes Blacktail 2 Person Backpacking tent is a great starting point. Personally we love the North Face Stormbreaker 3 person tent as well.
Day Pack
Having a quality hiking pack makes all the difference when your out on the trails. Check out the range on Wild Earth. Not sure which one? Osprey is always a winner.
Wool Socks
This is the kinda thing that sometimes we cheap out on ourselves and often just wear woolies socks, but having good quality socks is actually such an upgrade! Which is why it makes the perfect gift. These SmartWool socks are divine.
Ocean Proof Jewlerry
Our all time favourite jewellery shop has to be Darwin-based Embella Style. All their pieces are gorgeous and last forever, trust us, we've tried and tested them for many years!
Water bottle
If you don’t drool a bit over the Yeti range of outdoor gear then sorry we can’t be friends. Just kidding, but also there’s a good reason they are one of THE top brands. This super cute peach waterbottle is the perfect gift for that friend that you don’t know what to get, but always seems to be on trend with everything she owns. Plus, it’s super caring to make sure your friends are drinking enough water, so that makes this extra cute.
Berry Clean Cleansing Balm
Make every shower feel like a luxurious spa day with this Salt By Hendrix Body Cleansing Balm; a deliciously good pre shower body cleanser that wipes away dirt and impurities all whilst hydrating the skin. This beauty is Australian Made, Cruelty Free, Artificial Fragrance Free (we love!), as well as free from sulphates, parabens and mineral oil. Tough to beat that kind of line up, isn’t it. She won’t be disappointed when unwrapping such a beautiful gift that will take her self care up a notch. We’re kind of tempted to get one for ourselves…
Jade Yoga Mat
For the friend that’s always chasing those good zen vibes, you could gift them a new yoga matt, we love the Jade Yoga matts as they are eco friendly and come in a huge range of colours. A class pack at their closest yoga studio is also a lovely gift to help them stay consistent with their practice.
Sound Healing Session
Find a sound healing studio near you (not sure where, ask at your local yoga studio) and treat them to an hour of beautiful, melodic vibrations which will reinvigorate their spirit
Top Quality Electrolytes
It’s summer in Australia and it’s far too easy to get dehydrated on the day to day when the temps are high. Your health obsessed friends will definitely be thinking about their hydration and this Pure Sports Electrolyte Hydration Powder is just the thing they need to add to their routine.
Cacao Powder
Do you have a friend who always says they want to quit coffee but never does? Well here is their solution! Replace it with delicious raw cacao. It has so many health benefits and gives you a much more stable rise in energy levels. No more shakey hands or anxious feelings! Your health focused friend will love this. (If its not already stocked in her cupboard!) Check out Aussie based Cacao Collective.
Journal or Planner
We all have that high achieving, career orientated friend that is absolutely killing it in life. This type of wild woman needs presents that she can use to keep accomplishing those goals! She might just love this journal by Chelsea Kauai which incorporates mindfullness into your goal setting.
Also a good idea could be a gift card to her favourite cafe for all those coffees that keep her going, a handmade ceramic coffee mug for the same reasons, or even a massage voucher or bathhouse date so she can switch off for a bit.
Surf Suit
A surfer girl can never have enough swimwear and the crew at Salt Gypsy know how to make stylish and functional suits that will leave her feeling comfortable and cute at the same time! Their latest Ombre Surfsuit is the perfect mix of cheeky, fun, and durable. You can’t go wrong gifting this to your wave chasing girlfriends. That includes us too, remember ;)
Surf Mud
Most sunscreens just dont cut it in the waves, they wash off after a few sets, especially if your rubbing your face. Not surf mud though! You can count on this baby to stay on all session.. and probably while your at the cafe as well, and maybe still when you get to work too. Its a look ;)
A Surfline Subscription
So your girl can always check the swell and cameras before going out for surf. Waste not, want not!
And that’s a wrap (ha, get it?) on our christmas gift guide! We sincerely hope it makes your shopping a far more enjoyable experience, and we wish we could be there when they open up their pressies. Remember, if all else fails, you can always get them a Wild Women Journeys gift card here! Happy Holidays!
