We are big fans of experiences over things in our family, we love an adventure big or small!

That being said some of these great adventures take *things* to make them go smoothly. So here are some of our favorites from our little adventure kiddos.

Gift Ideas for Adventurous Kiddos:

1. Hiking Shoes – We have had many sizes of Merrell hiking shoes and we love them, they are great for around town and technical hikes. They have lasted being handed down multiple times.
2. Storage Clipboard – My kids love to draw so these are great for keeping paper and pens handy on trips and on the go.
3. Packable Rain Jacket – These rain jackets have come in handy on all of our trips lately as well as hikes when a rain storm can come out of nowhere. These pack down very small into their own stuff bags and come in lots of colors.
4. Down Jacket – Even on our trip to Switzerland in last August it was cold enough to need a jacket. We love these down jackets because they are light, pack down small and have a hood for when you don’t have a hat. We have had ours over a year and they wear really well!
5. Kid Safe Headphones – We have had these for years, I like that they have a cord or they can use bluetooth.
6. Kids Smart Watch – We love these smart watches that can take pictures and video. They count steps and have little games the kids can play. These have been great for waiting in line and keeping the kids busy. These watches do not connect to the internet so there are no safety concerns.
7. Kids Backpack – We love to use these on hikes and on airplanes. THIS ONE is great for toddlers too.
8. Digital Camera – So fun to take photos while traveling, still works after being dropped many times.
9. Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet – Key for travel also these things are tough, they have been dropped so many times.
10. Head Lamp – This is so fun for camping!
