Gift ideas for the outdoor enthusiast: perfect Christmas presents for those that love the great outdoors

This Christmas, treat the nature-lover in your life to a gift they’ll truly enjoy. From peaceful forest getaways to unforgettable live music experiences amongst the trees, here are some top gift ideas from Forestry England to inspire your Christmas shopping.

When you buy a Christmas gift from Forestry England, you’re also giving back to the nation’s forests. Every purchase helps Forestry England continue their vital work of growing and protecting the nation’s forests for generations to come. 

Here are Forestry England’s gift ideas, to help you feel good this Christmas:

For the trailblazers 
A Forestry England membership makes the ideal gift for a year packed with outdoor adventure. With free parking at forests nationwide, a membership invites the whole family to explore nature together, whether hiking, cycling, or simply unwinding in the fresh air. A full year of forest fun awaits! 

For the stylish adventurer 
Forestry England’s sustainable merchandise range has something for every nature-loving fashionista. Printed in the UK using renewable energy and delivered in plastic-free packaging, the collection includes cozy jumpers, hoodies, notebooks, and water bottles. Perfect for anyone who wants to look good while supporting the nation’s forests.

For the music lovers 
Give the gift of live music with a ticket to Forest Live, an outdoor concert experience set in the heart of beautiful woodlands. With renowned acts like Sting and Rag & Bone Man & Elbow on the 2025 lineup, it’s a memorable gift for any music enthusiast. Printable gift cards make this a last-minute option that’s sure to impress!

For the whole family
A Go Ape gift voucher is an invitation to adventure! From high-ropes courses to Forest Segways and thrilling Zip Trekking, there’s something for everyone. Gift vouchers are available from just £10 either digitally or in a gift envelope for a special touch.

For the long weekenders 
For those craving a forest retreat, Forest Holidays gift vouchers offer a variety of immersive experiences. From romantic getaways to family stays, each trip is a chance to connect with nature in a stunning woodland setting.

For bird enthusiasts
Give a gift that makes a difference by supporting the ospreys of Kielder Forest. Since 2009, Forestry England and its partners have helped 120 osprey chicks to fly the nest. But this year, unusually wet weather, low temperatures, and high winds caused the worst loss of osprey chicks in 15 years. A donation of £10 or any amount will help improve nests for next season and allows Forestry England to invest in better equipment to protect these magnificent birds.

For the next generation of explorers
Discover the magic of the forest with We the Forest, a beautifully illustrated children's book for children aged 6-12. Filled with stunning contemporary artwork, it brings the forest ecosystem to life in a fresh and engaging way. This book inspires meaningful conversations about nature and the environment. Join other parents and grandparents in nurturing a love for the natural world and sparking the creativity of the next generation.

The nation’s forests provide endless opportunities to seek adventure, make memories and find escape, with thousands of miles of beautiful running, walking and cycling trails for everyone to enjoy. By buying a gift from Forestry England this Christmas, you will help to create a sustainable future for this generation and the next.
