Your forest wanderer spends as much time in the great outdoors as possible. The weekends are for escaping hectic city life and reconnecting with nature. They live for discovering new trails and foraging for fresh (safe) snacks. For this beloved explorer, every adventure is nourishment, a reminder of life away from the doomscroll. And luckily for them, ’tis the season for indulging.

Keep scrolling to find out what to gift them....and how to enter our extra special Advent raffle.

The Columbia Helvetia II Cropped fleece is the perfect gift for a wanderer who prefers pieces that look great both on and off the trail. The half snap design makes it easy to throw on over layers, while the cropped cut keeps it cute and stylish. And there’s a drawcord-adjustable hem to lock in warmth and zip pockets for stashing essentials – keys, phone, foraged finds, you name it.
