Buck 110 folding knife? Big enough in case you really need to cut something, not too big. https://www.buckknives.com/product/110-folding-hunter-knife/0110FAM01/ Gloves? Deerskin work? I’m in the market for black leather ones myself.

My Son bought me one of these last year...every hiker needs a spork and this is a combo K-bar serrated bladed knife. K-bar is good quality and if you go canyoneering alone the serrated blade might come in handy.

I miss my sonic toothbrush when overnighting it. I think I'm going to put one of these on my wish list as it looks fairly compact and lightweight. https://www.target.com/p/philips-one-by-sonicare-battery-toothbrush-midnight-hy1100-04/-/A-79859392

Ok, I started this thread last year in December (with many excellent ideas), but it doesn't hurt to get the ball rolling a little earlier this year! Here is an article on gifts for hikers I just found on the SectionHiker.com website: https://sectionhiker.com/section-hikers-gift-guide/50-best-backpacking-gifts-under-50-dollars/

Navy salad got ahead of me! "Section Hiker" does this annually (50 best gifts under $50) and the link provided is his 2022 edition, just out today. He hikes in the White Mts. of New Hampshire, which has really horrible weather, comparable to Wyoming winters! Theres a $50 or less section, a $20 or less section, and an uner $10. Unfortunately I am no longer in the market for hiking gifts. I just wish there were more trails accessible to those using walkers and close to my home!

I've been getting unique and pretty maps from Etsy as gifts. It's fun to see a different view of your adventures.
