Gift ideas for nature lovers

1. INOV8 VENTURE PANT £95

Although most famous for their trail-running shoes, we're also fans of Inov-8's hiking trousers due to their reliably durable materials, comfort and array of handy zipped pockets.

The water-resistant Venture Pants come in both men's (grey) and a women's Venturelite version (£95, graphite). inov8.com

2. STOX ENERGY SOCKS £44.99

Not your usual Christmas socks, these knee-high running socks offer graduated compression with the aim of improving blood circulation, reducing shin splints and post-exercise muscle fatigue. We've also found the padded toe and heel inserts welcome on longer runs and hikes. stoxenergy.com
