Gift ideas for hikers

Looking for gift inspiration for a hiker in your life? We have you covered! I am not going to suggest the important stuff, like running shoes, backpacks, etc., as they will spend hours of their own time researching and trying all the different options (that’s a hobby in its own right!). What I am going to suggest here is the fun stuff.

Trail Print - $350 - Buy Here

Our friends at MyTrail.run create beautiful prints of the famed Hong Kong Trails, as well as Hong Kong's most popular trail running races, such as the HK100 or Oxfam Trailwalker. Their posters are popular with runners, hikers, and anyone who would like to celebrate their latest and greatest adventure on the trails. Posters can be personalised: Include a name, time, or an inspirational quote to turn it into a one-of-a-kind gift.

Trail Challenger - $295 - Buy Here

Okay, I know, shameless self-promotion, but hear me out! If they like hiking and love to post their Strava, then they are also going to want a medal… trust us! Trail Challenger is for all skill levels. Beginners can conquer the trail in their own time, over many days, and celebrate their achievement, whilst seasoned hikers are going to get a kick out of the gamification process and aiming for the top of the leaderboard. A Trail Challenger gift box comes with a redemption code that they can use to claim any single long trail of their choice. Buy here

Log Book - $160 - Buy here

A hiking log book is a perfect little gift, and this Hong Kong edition is perfect for the weekend warrior hiker. Log their own unique routes or make their way through Hong Kong’s peaks, and one day they will be able to look back and cherish the memories they once created.

Hiking Towels - $100 - Buy Here

Honestly, this is the most essential hiking accessory for Hong Kong. Combine the heat with some gruelling elevation gain, and you will soon be sweating buckets! This microfibre hiking towel from HK Trails is great. It will keep you dry, and its map design will help you identify what you are looking at when you get to the top of the peak!

Neck Gaiter - $80 - Buy Here

Also from HK Trails are their fun multi-purpose neck gaiters. Not sure what a neck gaiter is? I can guarantee your hiking-loved one has about 10, and is always on the lookout for more unique designs. In short, they are like a sweat band….or a scarf….or a fashion accessory! We like the “Bugs” neck gaiter that features the insects native to Hong Kong.

Pins & Patches - $50 - Buy Here

Is there a hike they are particularly proud of, or that they keep telling war stories about? Well then there is a good chance there is an enamel pin or patch of that hike. See the collection here:

And that’s it. There are more great ideas within the link above so be sure to browse around the stores.

Happy Hiking
