We take pride in offering the best brands in adventure gear, along with fashionable clothing and unique gifts your friends and family will love. From paddlers to cyclists, pros to novices, we offer practical gear for every skill level. We also stock sweaters, scarves, and socks for those who prefer sipping hot chocolate by the fire. We considered our featured items and top sellers as we put together this list of our top ten holiday gifts. If you haven’t visited Alpine Shop this season, now is the perfect time to check off every item on your list! 

1. The Chimayo Fringed Jacquard Throw by Pendleton 

You can’t go wrong with a Pendleton. These blankets have been symbols of respect and friendship for over 100 years. Now, you can give the gift of warmth and iconic style when you present your loved one with a Pendleton blanket. This wool throw is vivid and warm, and it’s perfect for any lover of Boho or Southwest style. 

2. The Ever-Useful Hydro Flask   

You mean you don’t have one yet? 

You may not be a VSCO girl, but that doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from a Hydro Flask. Why are they so popular? It may be because their double wall vacuum insulation keeps liquids icy cold for up to 24 hours, or steaming hot for up to 12 hours. Trust us: you’ll be amazed at how functional these little water bottles really are. Plus, Hydro Flask products are all BPA-free, recyclable, and backed by a lifetime warranty. 

We also have Hydro Flask wine tumblers for the girl who just likes to rosé all day. 

3. The DoubleNest Hammock 

Our DoubleNest Hammock is on sale! Once you take this customer and staff favorite camping, you’ll never want to leave the house without it. Light, soft, and strong, these hammocks pack small and set up quickly, perfect for whenever you want to kick back. The hiker or camper in your life will love it. 

4. The Yeti Cooler 

Admit it. You’ve always wanted a Yeti cooler. Now’s your chance to go big and surprise the camper or sports fan in your life with this Tundra 45. It’s perfect for shorter trips, with lots of room inside but compact enough to be carried by one person. The lid and base are indestructible, and the insulation will keep your drinks – or the catch of the day – cold for days. A Yeti is guaranteed to be the last cooler you’ll ever need to purchase.    

5. Urban Cycling Guide 

Is someone on your list curious about joining the cycling community? Help them get started with this guide: Urban Cycling.

Help your loved one make a New Year’s resolution they’ll truly love sticking with.  

6. Phone Tote/Camping Accessories

Give your paddler or adventurer something he or she can really use: a waterproof tote! With this handy accessory, campers can store small valuables and text, talk, and surf on their device without having to worry about rain, sand, or other debris. This Gecko product is simply a must for paddlers and hikers. Another handy must-have? Pair your drybag with this headlamp.
