Wise Owl Outfitters Camping Blanket
Take your cozy with you with this wearable camping blanket from Wise Owl Outfitters. Made of ripstop nylon for durability and treated with water-resistant DWR coating, the blanket is designed for adventure. At a generous 6.5 feet by 4.5 feet when opened up, it's big enough to use as a blanket for sitting or a picnic or for fireside snuggles — but since it packs easily to just 17 inches by 6.5 inches, it doesn't take up valuable space. It's machine washable, and since it's designed with snaps and loops that let you wear the insulated blanket wrapped around you, it's extra useful for cold campsites.

Savalos Wool Hiking Socks, 5 pack
Wool socks are the gold standard for cold weather: Wool is naturally warm and breathable, and it helps your feet regulate temperature (not hot and sweaty, not cold and clammy) when you're active.
This 5-pack of machine-washable socks from Savalos are made from 70% wool blend, with added cushioning in strategic places and compression built in over the arch for added support for hikes and outdoor activity. One happy 5-star reviewer praised them for their durability, too, saying, "These held up well and were very comfortable for a hiking vacation. Not too thick or thin, and kept my feet dry.”
These wool-blend socks are perfect for winter hikes and camping trips, and since they come in a 5-pack, she'll have enough to last.
