For The Backyard Chef

There's nothing better than throwing fresh ingredients down on the grill and letting them sizzle. One of the best big gifts for outdoor lovers has got to be a new grill. If you're picking one of these out for your special someone, do a little research before you buy. What kind of fuel source would work best for the home, liquid propane, natural gas, charcoal, or wood pellets? The world of barbecue is always evolving, and that means your backyard chef will be surprised by exciting new features no matter what. Next-gen models use smart technology to keep an eye on foods when users step away, while new ways to infuse meats with flavors are always being developed. To learn more about what barbecue might be one of the best gifts for the outdoor lovers in your life, check out our grill buying guide.

If you know that your recipient already loves their barbecue, explore our curated list of presents for gear that will turn their outdoor space into an oasis. Smoking meat can take time—something like an outdoor TV, comfortable seating or a patio heater will help make their alfresco evening much more enjoyable. They'll enjoy watching sports in the fall, warming up by the heater in the winter or just lounging in the summer, and you'll have helped them create their dream space.

For The Nature Explorer

Those who like to explore, hike and bike are always easy to find presents for, and that's because they need a lot of gear. From binoculars to see that faraway bird to water bottles made to keep their hydration cool, these gifts for outdoor lovers are always valued. Ready to go big? Keep an eye out for a new backpack or even a bicycle if they're in need of a new one. E-bikes are growing more and more popular, especially with trail riders who want to go farther and farther. This perfect present will help them go beyond their limits with a little extra fuel. No matter what you choose, they'll cherish it and will enjoy making new memories the next time they're out in nature.
