 Everyone who spends times outdoors needs more merino wool socks. I don't care how many you have, you can never have too many. There's also the chance that your outdoorsy friend of loved one doesn't yet know the genius of good merino socks. Allow me to wax poetic for a moment about merino wool. Okay, I'll spare you, just read our guide to the best merino wool instead. Suffice to say that aside from buying nothing, wool socks are the best gift . We've been testing socks for years now, and Darn Tough remain some of our favorites. They're technically good -- high in wool, low in synthetic fibers, though there is enough in there so they have a nice stretch to them (and note that not all Darn Touch socks are merino, so read the label.
 
 Trillium hammock
+
+Did you know most of us spend [87 percent of our time indoors](https://indoor.lbl.gov/sites/all/files/lbnl-47713.pdf) and another 6 percent in enclosed vehicles? Help your outdoorsy friend get outside more with this giant hammock. Trillium hammocks are an awesome addition to any yard and they give you a reason to get outside by offering a huge comfy place to lounge. I am in fact typing this from a Trillium hammock, which is also where I do all my meetings. Meetings still suck, but they suck a little less when you're in a hammock. The only word of caution here is that you do need to have trees (or some kind of post) in a roughly triangular shape for this to work. Probably not the best choice for desert dwelling friends.

+Opinel No.8
+
+Opinel's classic folding knife practically begs to be taken on a hike with some good hard chorizo, soft Spanish cheese, and a nice baguette. It's the first step to hiking european style. Or at least how I imagine European's hike (always with delicious cheese, meat, and cheap wine. Please don't ruin my visions European readers). I got my Opinel as a gift from a friend, and I love it. And I am an outdoor person, so there is your living proof that this is a good gift. 
+
+Opinel makes dozens of variations on this knife that you can pick from when gifting. Cycling friends might love the tk version. Grab your tk lover, the tk version. The one version I don't recommend is the carbon steel version. Carbon steel is great, but in this case, when you're throwing it in your backpack and possibly forgetting about it for long periods of time, carbon steel will rust. Stick with stainless when gifting this.
