59 Best Gifts for National Park Lovers (2023)

National Parks gifts: Puffy Blanket, Camp Chair, and Water Bottle

You don’t have to be Leslie Knope to have a heartfelt appreciation for a good park. And, of course, the best parks are arguably the 423 federally protected national park sites in the United States. 

The National Park System comprises over 400 areas that cover more than 84 million acres, all of great national significance, recognized and protected by special laws and regulations.

If you’ve been fortunate enough to travel to any of these parks, you know how breathtaking and unique they can be. From Zion and Yellowstone to Acadia and the Everglades, it’s no wonder folks want commemorative t-shirts and maps to treasure their national park outings.

Know a national park lover who can’t seem to get enough of the outdoors? We’ve compiled a list of all the best national park-related gifts on the internet so you can spoil your loved ones during the next holiday season — or National Parks Week — all while promoting the protection of these public lands and giving back.

Hydrascape Stickers

While your gift recipient might already have an impressive sticker collection, they likely don’t have one like this.

Hydrascape Stickers are uniquely long decals, designed to overlap themselves to create an infinite landscape around any size water bottle. They are also a colorful addition to laptops, car bumpers, coolers, and more. Hydrascape designs feature Nationals Parks and other favorite landmarks across the U.S. 

All stickers are waterproof, dishwasher safe and UV-resistant. Perfect for stocking stuffers!

Even better: Hydrascape does good! The brand gives back to environmental organizations, uses recycled materials in its packaging, and strives to create meaningful representations of the lands in its designs by using both the given and Indigenous names of featured landscapes.

Tinggly Experience

A Tinggly Experience gift package allows you to pay for a loved one’s expenses on their next adventure! You pay a flat fee, and your recipient gets to select an experience or getaway of their choice. It’s the ultimate consumable gift!

Not every experience on Tinggly is connected to the national parks, but many are; including things like a guided hike in Griffith Park, a sightseeing cruise along the Columbia River Gorge, and more. You can also simply pick a destination like Colorado or Alaska and pay for your friend’s stay in a beautiful hotel for their next national park journey. 

Tinggly also plants trees with the Eden Reforestation Project every time you make a purchase!
