Gifts under $30 don’t have to be hard to find for the hiker or outdoorsy person on your list.
There’s always a birthday, holiday or special event right around the corner so it can’t hurt to be on the lookout now.
If you’re trying to figure out what you need to get a hiker or outdoorsy person in general, take a peek at some of the best gifts for under $30.
1. A Hiking Poncho
A hiking poncho is one of the best Amazon gifts under 30 dollars for the avid hiker on your list. A lightweight, hooded poncho helps the hiker (or biker) and their belongings stay dry if it happens to rain.
This particular poncho can also be hung up to protect you from sun, a light rain while sitting down, laying in a hammock or another spot.
2. A Day Pack
What is a good $30 gift? A back pack! We found this gem on a list of cool back packs that’s great for day trips or day hiking.
Hiking essentials such as a first aid kit, snacks, water, trail maps, bug spray and much more fit nicely inside.

3. A Crossbody Sling Bag
Sling bags go down as one of the coolest things to buy on Amazon under 30 dollars. This high quality, versatile bag can go across the chest or back and can store a small ipad, phone and more.

4. Energy Bars
Get some energy bars and other amazon gifts under 30 dollars to put together together in a basket or container. It shows that you put thought into the gift and makes it a little more special.
5. Trail Mix
Trail mix is a perfect addition to any gift basket. It’s healthy, sweet and salty which hits all the right notes for most people!

I also appreciate that this particular trail mix is labeled “non-GMO, vegan, with no artificial ingredients” too. One of my friends is a vegetarian so I like to know that I can get something that we can share if I’m out with her.
6. A Small, Lightweight First Aid Kit
You never know when someone can scrape a knee or get a cut, an all purpose first aid kit is essential to have with you. Though I stash one in my car, I also carry one with all of the essentials when I’m out and about, especially when walking or hiking on trails.
8. A Hammock
Hammocks make for the perfect gift! They’re comfortable, portable and come in various sizes so you can find one that fits your personal style.

8. Other Items to Bundle Together
It might seem challenging to have a smaller price point to work with, but there are other cool items on Amazon for Under $20. Since the price point is smaller, maybe you can combine more items with another gift or get a gift card too.
- Beef Jerky
- Sunscreen
- Pack of lip balm
