Looking for a holiday gift that makes travel more fun and manageable? Finding the just-right little (or big) present to up the ante for your loved ones’ favorite adventures is truly the gift that lasts. When they’re on that golf, hiking, skiing or whatever it is they love trip they’ll always think of you. Consider these for your active and adventure loving pal.

A Transformative Travel Golf Bag: There are travel golf bags, and then there’s Sun Mountain’s Club Glider (https://www.sunmountain.com/). The Club Glider – which you can literally pull and weave through a busy airport using just your pinky finger – moves you from “lug” to “loving it” when it comes to bringing your clubs along. It’s part soft sided, part hard for club protection. The secret sauce is its kick-stand type extra wheels. Click them down and it pulls along with remarkable ease. Click them back and it’s ready to be checked. Home storage is great too: it folds into itself to stow away compactly. Expect attention when you use it: A playing pro quizzed this writer about it recently, saying “That’s the best I’ve ever seen out there.” Your golfer will praise you forever.

Amp it up: Add an annual membership to Mass Golfer to sweeten the deal. They’ll get news, special event invites and access to keeping a handicap. (https://www.massgolf.org/)

Cool, Classy Shades: A good pair of sunnies makes everything better. For your adventurous soul, gift them a pair of Randolph (https://www.randolphusa.com/) shades. Randolph has been the eyewear of choice for the US military for as long as the company’s been around – a half a century of creating epic shades at their Massachusetts home base. Randolph’s are made with 23 karat gold – the strongest gold there is – and come in a variety of styles. The classic aviator is a popular choice – you’ve probably seen folks like Tom Cruise, Dwayne Johnson and other celebs sporting them. Solid, durable and cool; your loved one will treasure them for a lifetime. You can even have them engraved.

Amp it up: Bretton Woods Ski Area (https://www.brettonwoods.com/), like Randolph, turns 50 this year. To celebrate you can gift their “Rays Your Glass” package, including a king room or suite at their Mount Washington Hotel from December-March, other goodies and best of all: a shiny new pair of Randolphs.

Heavenly Hiking Boots: The hiker in your life will celebrate you every hike in their Zamberlan (https://www.zamberlanusa.com/) Italian hiking boots. Made with quality leather and lined with Gore Tex, they keep you super dry and yet not too hot; a wicking collar that controls moisture is part of the reason. They’re grippy – just what you want for hikes, and while they’re abundantly sturdy, they feel comfortable. Pricey, sure, but comfy, dry and happy feet make even the most beautiful hike better.

Amp it up: “Beer Hiking New England,” the newest book by avid hiker (and writer) Carey Kish is new, fun and the perfect add on to boots. Available everywhere books are sold.

Stocking Stuffer Sparkling Teeth System: Sounds complicated, yet it’s so simple. For a “I used my electric toothbrush” feel on any adventure, gift Dr. Plotka’s toothbrush and toothpaste. In both travel and home size, both transcend usual oral care thanks to the infused silver and flossing bristles. Even on the trail, your loved one’s teeth will feel just right.
