    This gift guide is a goldmine! The Glamping Hub gift card is genius for post-hike relaxation. And that HD monocular? Perfect for my wildlife-loving friend who always misses the good sightings. The leather toiletry pouch is a stylish touch. I’m curious, though: which gift do you think would be most appreciated by a beginner hiker just starting to gear up?
