I wanted to compile this list of Gifts because so often people struggle to find good life-giving gifts, they opt for gift cards, socks, or other presents to meet obligations. You won’t find any of that here, only the coolest, unique, hobby-inspiring, life-giving gifts for all age ranges. If you have an inspired gift that you feel should be added to the list, let me know!

I have kayaks, an inflatable kayak, and this summer I bought my first inflatable SUP! And it is by far my favorite. So easy to blow up and depress, unlike the Blow-up Kayak which has 3 compartments you have to fill, this just has 1 and is ultra-portable and quick to set up. I even had 2 adults and 2 kids on my 1 SUP, so it’s great for the whole family.
