2020 Holiday Gift Guide: Staff Picks

This week we decided to get together with our employees and come up with our Top 5 favorite gift items that are available in our store. Since they are the people who know the items and look at them day in and day out, we think that they’ll give you the best gift list to date! The rush is officially ON with our last guaranteed ground shipping date of December 16th and last guaranteed day for 2-day shipping is December 21st. Let’s go!

1. PUFFIN Beverage Vests! If you don’t know, well now you know! This will be the top stocking stuffer of the year! 2020 might have let us down in a lot of ways, but they also brought these into our lives so it can’t be that bad…lol. The reason our employees put this on the list is because there is literally one for everyone! Need a gift for a fisherman? Great, there is a fishing vest Puffin! Need a gift for a skier? Great, there are several ski jackets and sweaters to choose from! Need a gift for someone who loves the outdoors? We have a sleeping bag…for your drink! What could be better?
2. HYDROFLASK Water Bottles. This seems to make EVERY list that we put out, but there is a reason for that...the HYDROFLASK technology and selection is consistent and awesome! There are so many different colors, several different shapes, sizes, and literally something for EVERYONE on your list. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, our employees all think you should have a HYDROFLASK water bottle. Reusable water bottles not only look cool, but you are saving the environment with every sip! These are the reasons that our employees chose them!
3. The North Face Mudder Trucker Hat. Our employees sat around discussing the fact that everyone should have a cool hat. Whether it’s a bad hair day or you just look good in hats they all decided that the North Face Mudder Trucker is one of those hats. It has an awesome vintage patch logo from The North Face and is available in a selection of great colors. It is unisex and who doesn’t need a good hat in their closet?
4. THULE Car Rack. Our employees are mostly outdoorsy folks. On their personal time they like to hike, bike, travel, camp, and just enjoy the great outdoors. They all agreed that a great gift – especially right now – is a Thule Rack. It enables you to get all of your gear in your car and enjoy the traveling we can do right now – by car!
5. The last thing that they came up with given the circumstances of 2020 is that they all agreed you should have a great winter coat. Since we will seemingly be spending a lot of time outside this winter to get a break from our houses, it’s a good year to invest in that piece of outerwear or layering piece that you’ve been thinking about for a while. We went around the room and everyone had a different brand to match their particular style. With that being said, the top 4 brands for outerwear were The North Face, Patagonia, Columbia, and Kuhl. Find the perfect coat for you: Men’s, Women’s, and Kid’s.

We hope that we solved some shopping issues for you. As always, we appreciate your shopping small and local with Ramsey Outdoor, whether it’s in-store or online.

Happy Shopping!
