A gift for a mountain lover

If you're looking for a gift for a mountain enthusiast, you'll certainly find it in the Luxury Products range. Our personal experience in traversing mountain trails has allowed us to create the perfect gift guide for you. It includes suggestions for both prestigious and practical gifts. We encourage you to explore our extensive range.

A gift for a mountain lover is a blend of beauty and functionality

Mountains are captivating; once you visit them, you return at every possible moment. The wildest in Poland are the Bieszczady, the most dangerous are the Tatras. The Pieniny, on the other hand, attract families with children. Hiking on the trails is calming and soothing for our nervous system. Additionally, it provides many thrills and sets ambitious goals. In Poland, there are two popular challenges for mountain enthusiasts. The first is to conquer the Crown of Polish Mountains. The second is to tackle the Main Beskid Trail. These are quite demanding experiences that require proper preparation, including equipment.

So if you're looking for a fantastic gift for someone conquering the Crown of Polish Mountains or hiking the Main Beskid Trail, buy them a practical gadget to have in their backpack during hikes or climbs. Accessories ensuring safety in the mountains, such as crampons (for high mountains), microspikes (useful in lower mountains), a harness, an ice axe, and a helmet, will certainly come in handy. For the holidays, it's worth buying an avalanche safety kit along with training on how to use it for a Tatras enthusiast. Many tourists forget about it, but in winter it is essential to return home safely, both in the Polish and Slovak Tatras.

What gadgets for the mountains?

An avalanche safety kit, a luxury ice axe, and mountain training are exclusive gifts usually given on significant occasions. Sometimes, however, we want to give something to someone just to show we care, bypassing all the holidays. In such cases, gadgets that remind them of their beloved mountains daily are useful. These could be enamel mugs with a mountain motif, T-shirts or quick-drying towels with prints, puzzles, or a scratch map.

Perfect gifts for a mountain peak enthusiast also include hiking accessories that can be taken on a challenging trail, like Orla Perć. Here, carabiners, quickdraws, and multitools will be useful. Socks, especially those made from merino wool, which is very warm and provides thermal comfort even in harsh winter, as well as both carbon and chemical hand warmers, are also a good choice.

Top 10 mountain-related gifts

Below we present the top 10 gifts that will delight any mountain hiking enthusiast. These are practical gifts, with prices starting from just a few dozen zlotys. They will be appreciated by both rock climbers and mountaineers. So if you're looking for a gift idea for a loved one, for a birthday, name day, or holiday, get inspired by our ideas. The listed products can be found in our extensive Luxury Products range:

• Rope is one of the accessories that ensure safety in the mountains. It is also used for belaying on rocks and abseiling. For sport climbing, it's best to buy a single rope, while for abseiling and ice climbing, a half rope is recommended. If the person you're gifting climbs in Poland, a 60 m rope will suffice.
  
• Chalk bag - chalk is a powder that increases friction and prevents hands from sweating. It's a must-have for rock climbing. A chalk bag is thus an essential attribute for climbers. It should be chosen so that it can be easily opened and closed with one hand, and the powder can be easily accessed.
  
• Pocket knife is useful during hikes on the Main Beskid Trail, as well as other trails. It helps cut rope or peel fruit. It's a basic piece of equipment for any mountain adventure enthusiast. You can choose a classic, prestigious model, for example, from the well-known Italian brand Ausonia, or a multitool, which is a multifunctional pocket knife.
  
• Torch is useful for multi-day mountain trail hikes, camping, or when you decide to participate in a night mountain run or ultramarathon. We encourage you to purchase both a traditional torch and a headlamp. The latter allows for hands-free lighting.
  
• Guides and maps make a great gift for those who enjoy hiking off the beaten path, in wild places where neither a smartphone nor GPS has coverage.
  
• Sleeping bag is the perfect gift for a mountain enthusiast. If you want to give it for Christmas, choose a down mummy type, preferably with a hood. A synthetic version is suitable for shelters. A great gift idea is also a compressible sleeping bag, which is ultra-light. Its thermal comfort limit is usually between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius.
  
• Backpack suitable for the mountains should be waterproof and durable. The more pockets and buckles it has, the better. It will be easier to pack. Additionally, its capacity should not be less than 35 litres, although backpacks from 40 to 50 litres are the best. However, if your close one is a high mountain enthusiast, be sure to buy them an avalanche backpack as a gift, which will protect them from deadly danger.
  
• Water purifier allows you to drink water from a river, lake, pond, or even a puddle. It depends on how sensitive the filter is. This gadget ensures that the recipient does not contract amoeba or any bacteria causing stomach issues.
  
• Thermos, water bottle, and bottle with a filter or made of borosilicate glass by Eva Solo is a set that is always useful on hikes, whether in the city or the mountains. Regardless of the season and weather outside.
  
• Trekking poles are one of the safety elements. They are very useful on trails in the Pieniny, Bieszczady, and Beskid Mountains.
  

The perfect gift for a mountain tourist

Mountain lovers, when not on the trails, like to surround themselves with things that remind them of the mountains. This could be a T-shirt with a mountain motif, a leather bag, or even jewellery with a mountain theme. In our offer at Luxury Products, you will find pendants, earrings, cufflinks, rings, and bracelets with a mountain motif. If you like other gold or silver jewellery, we can personalise it at your request to make a remarkable impression on your loved one.

In the Luxury Products online store, you will also find a wide selection of travel bookends, paper knives (worth checking out, for example, those ending with a magnifying glass), digital or physical maps, and calligraphy sets (also with a magnifying glass). They will be an original and elegant gift idea for a lover of mountain trails and peaks.

Tatra guides are the perfect books for a Tatra enthusiast

If you're wondering whether a book would be an interesting gift for a mountain enthusiast, have no doubt. However, remember to choose one that suits the passion of your loved one. Tatra guides will reveal not only the secrets of the local peaks but also valleys and caves. The more the book reveals places less frequented by tourists, the more interesting it will be.

You can also buy guidebooks or memoirs of Polish mountaineers. Many of them were or are mountain rescuers, so this perspective on the mountains is very valuable. We also encourage you to choose books that show all the dangers in the mountains and teach how to deal with them.

Wedding gifts for Tatra enthusiasts

Buying a wedding gift for Tatra enthusiasts is one of the more interesting life experiences. You are probably wondering how to combine the elegance and prestige of a gift for a lover of the Polish mountains with their tourist passion. In our store, you will certainly find the answer to this question and a gift for anyone who loves to travel.

One of our suggestions that would make a perfect wedding gift for mountain enthusiasts is a gift card to be used at Luxury Products. You choose the amount, and the newlyweds can use it in our shop for whatever they wish.

Instead of flowers, it is appropriate to give, for example, coasters or a board game related to mountains. There is also nothing stopping you from gifting the newlyweds with glasses or an exclusive decanter by Credan SA. They are perfect for personalisation with engraving.

Practical gifts for mountain rescuers and guides

Mountain rescuers are individuals who risk their own lives to save those who have had accidents in the mountains. Unfortunately, it often turns out that mountain trip enthusiasts are not adequately prepared for them. Therefore, it is worth giving practical gifts to mountain lovers, as mentioned above. GOPR and TOPR rescuers should be appreciated with something special and unique. Such items include prestigious compasses from Authentic Models, vintage-style telescopes, brass sundials, and elegant watches. Rescuers will also appreciate new crampons, a helmet, an ice axe, a leather bottle holder, which they can take on a solo climb to K2 or Mount Everest.

For a guide, a book set in the mountains, a buff, which is a multifunctional trekking scarf, and a good quality thermal mug would make great gifts. Interesting travel gift ideas also include printed T-shirts and small items such as keyrings, elegant pens, and fountain pens, preferably in sets with leather-bound notebooks and engraved hip flasks from English Pewter Company.

Gift gadgets useful in a mountain shelter

Mountain shelters are among the most popular accommodation choices in Poland. Depending on whether they are shelters or bunkers, the conditions vary. Some offer private rooms with bathrooms, others have beds in multi-person, co-educational rooms without electricity and running water. Therefore, it is worth having a few small items that will allow for an overnight stay in various conditions. Moreover, they can make a great gift for a traveller.

So, what gift gadgets will be useful in a shelter?

• sleeping mat,
  
• sleeping bag,
  
• travel pillow,
  
• enamel mug,
  
• multitool,
  
• set of travel cutlery,
  
• toothbrush case.

What to give to the conquerors of the Crown of Polish Mountains?

The Crown of Polish Mountains consists of 28 peaks in our country, which are the highest in their respective mountain ranges. Its conquerors collect stamps and photos in special booklets to confirm their ascent to the peaks listed in the register, so that the Lodge can later verify them. The title of KGP Conqueror is a prestigious distinction. Adventurers must climb, among others, Rysy, Śnieżka, Tarnica, Turbacz, Radziejowa, Wysoka, Jagodna, Czupel, Szczeliniec Wielki, and Łysica.

Climbing all 28 peaks is quite a challenge. Fortunately, there is no time limit in which this task must be completed. It can be done in a month, or it can take a lifetime. Many people do not even rush with it, as they say they savour the climb itself. Therefore, we recommend gifting the Conquerors of the Crown of Polish Mountains with a leather journal by Ikunico and an exclusive pen or fountain pen, in which they can record their impressions and paste in souvenir photos. For photographs, a prestigious photo album, which you can find at Luxury Gifts, will also be useful.
