Everyone knows an adventurous spirit; he’s your cousin with a healthy sense of wanderlust, your sister who would rather spend her weekend hiking in the woods than shopping at the mall, or your best friend who dreams of backpacking across Europe. Just as someone with an adventurous spirit might be hard to pin down, it can be difficult to figure out what gifts an adventurer would love to receive for Christmas.
An adventurous spirit myself, I would spend every day hiking in the mountains if I could. While I don’t get to hike every day, I do get to write about adventures of both the everyday sort and the more traditional sort on my blog (the Badon Hill Blog), and I love it when I have an opportunity to encourage my fellow adventurers in their own exciting pursuits. I’m also a huge supporter of quality handmade products, and I enjoy searching for just the right handmade goods to fuel adventures!
Aftcra is a great resource for this, with a wonderful array of handmade, made-in-America gifts that are sure to delight the adventurous spirit in your life. I’m excited to share my favorites with you!
1. The Adventure Begins bracelet
This bracelet is the perfect gift for someone about to embark on a new adventure, whether that’s starting a new job or a trip overseas. This bracelet is a thoughtful and stylish way to celebrate adventure!
Blanket scarves are a must this winter! Scarves are also a wonderful travel accessory, so this lovely black and red plaid scarf is just the right gift for the stylish wanderer.
