Being from Oregon, it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t do some sort of activity outdoors. Our state is loaded with mountains, lakes, rivers, hiking trails, deserts…I could go on, but you get the idea. Because there is so much to do, a person can have several outdoor hobbies. Which most everyone I know does.

From camping, to skiing, to hiking, to boating, the Pacific Northwest provides a wonderland for all of it. But obviously it’s not limited to just our neck of the woods. I’ve hiked and camped in many other states. In fact, my friend and her daughter just took a cross country trip, from New York to Oregon ,and camped her way across the United States.

So if you are looking for a gift for you or your outdoorsy friend or family member, look no further! This post is full of fab ideas

1. Fanny pack This is something I do not own and I wish I did. I have three different sized packs, but this one is perfect for a shorter hike or longer walk, when all you really need is water and a place to store your phone and keys and maybe a protein bar. Who says fanny packs aren’t cool?
2. Kayak paddles I own two sets of kayak paddles: one set is super cheap and one is ridiculously expensive. Can I tell the difference when I’m out on a lake or river? Not really. These kayak paddles are very popular on Amazon and priced just right.
3. Jetboil An absolute must for backpacking. The water boils in just a couple of minutes and you’re eating your delish freeze dried meal in no time. I have a lower priced one without all these bells and whistles, but I wish I had these bells and whistles.
4. Camp chair This is the granddaddy of all camp chairs. It’s absolutely perfect to stand up to the elements, and has a side table to hold your beer, which is a huge bonus. It’s built to last and will be the envy of your camping buddies.
5. Hammock We own 2 hammocks just like these. They are a staple for a campsite, especially when you need some time alone to just enjoy being out in nature, either reading a book or snoozing. My kids sleep in them overnight. Just find a couple trees and cinch them around the trunks and voila! Heaven.
6. Ski goggles It has been our experience that someone will forget her goggles on a ski trip and we will wind up buying an outrageously expensive pair at the ski resort. Pack these babies in a ski bag and you will have a great pair of goggles for a great price. It’s perfect for an extra set if a pair breaks or scratches or mysteriously gets lost or forgotten.
7. Backpacking tent What a great price on a great tent! It has everything you need for a good night’s sleep on the trail Oh, except the air mattress. You’ll have to find one of those. And may I suggest paying the extra money for a quality air mattress. When you’re backpacking and you get down to basics, a good night’s sleep is imperative. This tent should protect you in the rainiest rain and the sunniest sun.
8. Hiking poles On our last trip, one of my friends thought she didn’t need poles. Wrong! She wound up buying poles at a store along a trail and the price was obscene. These babies will do the trick. Made for a man or woman. Lightweight and will get you through the most rugged hike.
9. Hat Through rain, sleet, snow and the brightest of sun rays, a hat is a must. Plus, this one is adorbs.

There you have it! Any one of these items will be greeted with whoops of joy if received by the outdoorsy person in your life.

Happy Trails!

Lately, when scrolling through Instagram, I’ve been noticing these beautifully organized spice drawers or spice racks, with matching jars and labels.

Just the thought of having an organized drawer of spices got me so motivated that I immediately started researching spice jars and spice labels. After sifting through pages of jars on Amazon and Etsy, I decided on these beauties. I didn’t use the labels, but I thought the jars were perfect. Here are the ones I chose from Amazon *you can click on the image. If you do decide to purchase I will be compensated a bit from Amazon

These jars fit perfectly in my drawer and look so great! The set also comes with a little funnel that makes transferring spices from the old jar to the new really easy!

I didn’t wind up using the labels that came with the jars because they seemed a bit large; I wanted a smaller label. After searching through Etsy, I found some great labels that were just what I was looking for.

Here is the end result:

Such an easy project and the cost was quite reasonable! If I would have used the labels that came with the jars it would have been even less.

These jars and labels would make a great present! Let me know what you think in the comments!
