Welcome to Curbed's first gift guide, wherein our editors sort through a retail landscape rife with tech, toys, textiles, trinkets, and tchotchkes. This year we're shopping for some rather specific recipients—though we think you'll find the gift selection broadly appealing. Shop on!
There are outdoors people, and then there are "outdoors" peoplethe ones who enthusiastically plan to go hiking, but then decide to enjoy nature from the comfort of a lounge chair, cocktail in hand. You know them: The friend who hosts elaborate picnics in the park that are more meticulously planned than a bridal shower. The aunt who always wants to be at the beach but hates sand. The neighbor whose backyard barbecues look like a spread from shelter magazine. Here are nine gift ideas to suit the tastes of the tropical-loving, patio party-throwing glamper in your life.
