If plants are their buds or they just need to take a hike — top gift ideas for nature lovers

Quality outdoor clothing is always welcome for those who spend time in nature — warm and rain-resistant is key

Gifts for the outdoors enthusiast in your life: waterproof trousers, binoculars, calendula balm or a thermos flask can all make great presents 

For nature enthusiasts, there are lots of things that can make outings in natural world more comfortable or help with wildlife watching. I’ve come up with a few suggestions of Christmas gifts for the nature enthusiast in your life. Some might even be just what you want to find under the tree on Christmas morning — there's still time to drop a hint!

Anyone who likes their tea or coffee will appreciate a quality thermos flask for adventures in the outdoors. Nothing beats a nice hot cuppa after trekking to the summit, canoeing to the island, or when spending a morning out watching sea birds or whales from a cold and blustery headland. On that note, gloves can tend to go astray, so a new pair of mittens can make a welcome gift.
