Finding the right Christmas gift for someone who works or plays outdoors is not always simple. Their kit needs to be tough, reliable and ready for anything. It has to handle cold mornings, unexpected rain, heavy lifting, long climbs and long days. And ideally, it should support the way they choose to live outdoors, whether that means tree work, forest adventures or everyday exploration.
This Christmas gift guide brings together ten practical, durable and genuinely useful items from Arbortec. Each one has a clear purpose. No novelty items. No gimmicks. Just solid outdoor essentials for the people who spend more time under the open sky than indoors.
1. Waterproof Phone Pouch in Lime (£9)
A simple but essential piece of kit. This waterproof pouch protects a smartphone from rain, mud, sawdust and dirt using a roll and seal closure. The clear face allows full touchscreen use without removing the phone, which is ideal for site navigation, quick messages or checking the time halfway up a tree. Made from the same lime green waterproof fabric as our bags, it stands out in a kit bag and delivers dependable protection in rough weather. An affordable stocking filler that gets used immediately.
2. Arbortec Gift Card (from £25)
If you are not sure what they need, give them the choice. An Arbortec gift card is a straightforward, reliable option for any outdoor professional or adventurer. It arrives instantly by email, and can be used on clothing, accessories or technical footwear.
Perfect for anyone who is hard to buy for, or whose gear collection is always evolving.
3. Arbortec Black Belt (£17)
Practical, strong and built for everyday wear. This webbing belt uses reinforced polyester and elastane to create a comfortable and reliable fit. The rustic buckle gives it a rugged outdoor feel, and includes a built-in bottle opener for post-shift convenience.
It is a small gift that fits easily into a stocking, but still offers daily, long-term usefulness.
4. Heavy Duty Braces for Chainsaw Trousers (£24.50)
Designed for professionals who rely on chainsaw trousers, these braces provide the support needed during long days of movement and hard work. The 5 cm elastic webbing is strong without restricting mobility. The steel adjusters allow a personalised fit, and the soft finish reduces shoulder pressure. This is a functional upgrade for any arborist or forestry worker, and a gift that shows real understanding of the job.
5. Arbortec Reversible Beanie Hat (£16.50)
A versatile winter essential. This reversible beanie delivers two styles in one. Choose Lime for visibility and energy, or flip to Grey for a quieter, more casual look. The polyester and cotton jersey knit fabric offers warmth and comfort without unnecessary bulk.
Ideal for early starts, cold climbs and long winter walks.
6. Arbortec Neck Snoods (£10)
A lightweight, multi-purpose layer that belongs in every outdoor kit. Our neck snoods can be worn as a scarf, headband, helmet liner or face covering. They pack down small, offer instant warmth and work well in cold wind.
Available in two colourways: Green (LTTL) and Black (Icon), they bring personality to practical winter layering. An easy and thoughtful stocking filler.
7. XPERT Socks (£20 to £27)
Comfort starts at the feet. These technical socks use a blend of Thermocool fibres and Merino Wool to regulate temperature and manage moisture. Reinforced heel and toe sections add durability, while padding, flex zones and a soft instep improve comfort inside work boots.
Available as the Lo Sock XPERT (£20) or Hi Sock XPERT (£27) in Black and Lime or Black and Orange, they are built for performance, not novelty. A genuine advantage for long days outdoors.
8. Short Sleeve T-Shirts (£24.50)
A clean, modern essential made from 100% cotton with a solid 180 gsm weight. The muscle fit keeps the shape sharp without restricting movement. The Arbortec logo adds a distinct, yet understated touch.
Available in multiple colourways across Black, White and Olive bases with Lime, Pink, White, Black or Orange logo prints. A reliable everyday piece for anyone who prefers quality basics and easy layering.
9. Arbortec Signature Pull Over Hoodie (£58)
A premium choice for outdoor professionals. The Signature Hoodie pairs a smart, minimalist design with clean Arbortec branding on the front, and Live The TreeLife artwork on the back. The large front pocket features a secure zip that keeps out dirt, sawdust and debris, which is a major advantage on site.
Available in Black or Olive, it provides reliable warmth with a comfortable fit that supports movement during climbing, lifting and everyday outdoor work.
A standout gift that feels both premium and practical.
10. Arbortec Karabiner Mug (£17)
The perfect finishing touch for an outdoor gift guide. This lightweight, durable mug has a karabiner-style handle that clips to harnesses, belts or bags. Ideal for van coffees, campsite drinks or a quick warm up during winter work. A small gift, with big outdoor character.
Why These Gifts Stand Out
Every item in this guide is chosen for real-world usefulness. Outdoor professionals rely on gear that performs in changing weather, under physical pressure and across long days. These gifts support that lifestyle with comfort, durability and thoughtful design.
Nothing here is disposable or decorative; everything has a purpose.
