I know there is a special girl in your life who you’re trying to find the PERFECT gift for, so here’s a cheat sheet at some of my FAVORITE gifts for HER!!!! I have so many items I want to add to this list so I’m going to try my best to cut it down to my absolute FAVORITES. If you’re anything like me, you will want all of them, so I apologize in advance for all the awesomeness that is coming your way in 3…2…1….
Whether the girl in your life is a die-hard hunter or a non-hunting vegetarian, this book is for her! I wrote this book to tell the story of growing up in the outdoor lifestyle and defying the too-long-standing stereotype of this industry as a man’s world. No matter what kind of outdoor enthusiast she is, this book will open her eyes to adventure, passion, and living the field-to-table life.
If you’ve been following my life for awhile, you’ll know I LOVE outdoor-inspired jewelry! I love finding cool companies that make unique pieces that not everyone else has – although now that I’m blogging about them, it might not be such a well-kept secret. Here are a few of my absolute faves. I hope you love them as much as I do!!!
I LOVE, love, love this brand and every piece of jewelry they offer! After losing a daughter to Leukemia, a friend of mine here in NC started this company as a way to raise money for childhood cancer research. So not only is the jewelry beautiful (I wear it constantly!), but it also helps fund a good cause. I’m a big fan of outdoor- inspired jewelry, and Anchor Beads is some of the best, with chunky pieces made from antlers, bones, shells, and wood.
I love layering the customized necklaces from Golden Thread! You can get them engraved with names/dates/monograms and they are simple, classy, and come in all different shapes, sizes, and lengths. They have two different price points (a “Fine Line” which is more expensive and a “Fashion Line” which is cheaper and still SO beautiful!). I have a lot of their jewelry and get compliments on it constantly – and the founder/designer is a Jesus-lovin’ Texas girl with a heart as big as her state, so now you have another reason to love this brand!
I’ve been wearing this brand for years and it’s still one of my go-tos for any events I’m attending. It’s owned by my friend Sasha Nugent (Ted Nugent’s daughter… like woah!!) and she creates some of the most beautiful combinations of stones, antlers, leather tassels, and just about anything else that she dreams up.
5. Eva Shockey Signature Series Bow
Based on the name, you can probably tell that I LOVE THIS BOW, but I can honestly say that I have never heard a negative comment about it since it was released a few years ago! It is SO fast, so quiet, and makes you shoot like a pro (even if you aren’t!). You have to purchase it from your local Bowtech dealer (call your local archery shop and they can help you out!), but you can check out all the specs here.
6. Eva Shockey Tru-Fire Release
You can’t shoot the ES Bow without the matching release! I designed this release to fit a smaller wrist (made specifically for us girls!), but I also wanted it to look more like a cool leather bracelet than the traditional wrist release. I shoot my best groups with this so in addition to looking cool, it makes me shoot better!
7. Meindl Women’s Perfekt Hiker
These are my long-time FAVORITE hunting/hiking boots! They last for years and years, they’re super waterproof, and they have yet to give me blisters. I highly recommend these if your girl (or you… if you’re shopping for yourself) loves hiking/hunting and is in need of new kicks.
8. Cabela’s Lightweight Camo Shirt
This is my favorite lightweight camo shirt. I have at least 5 of them, and I wear them on every hunt I go on as a layer under my heavier jackets or just by itself as a shirt for warm weather. For reference, I wear a size small in this.
I have a Yeti Rambler within arms reach 24-7 (I actually have 2-3 at all times…one full of coffee, one with water, and sometimes a third with a Super Mama Smoothie), and this little 10oz version is perfect for outdoors and on-the-go! It is even available in a new coral color that I love, or my go-to white Rambler.
This is my most-used MTN OPS product. I use it in smoothies, protein pancakes, waffles and a ton of other things throughout the day. Any girl who wants to stay healthy or get healthy needs this protein powder in her life!
Most of us are running a million miles an hour, and this is my go-to energy booster!!! Technically it’s a cardio enhancer, but I drink it once a day for long-lasting energy without a crash. I love the green apple flavor!
Until I started using a Traeger, I never would’ve considered a grill to be the perfect gift for Her.. but that’s changed now that I’m beyond obsessed with my Traeger wood-fired Grill! I’ve been grilling/smoking on it for almost two years and it is by far the most used and appreciated cooking item I own. I use it 4-5 times a week because it cooks food without tons of sauces, butters, or oils and keeps the mess outside instead of in my kitchen. I can’t even tell you how many people I have converted to Traeger-users and the best part is that it can be a gift for HER, but the whole family gets to enjoy it! I use the big Traeger Timberline 850 but there are slightly smaller and less expensive options here and here.
That’s all for now – I hope this list helps with your holiday shopping!!! If you’re looking for more gift guides, check these out:

Thanks for all the awesome ideas!!!!
I really enjoyed your book and since then I have been filling my own freezer up. My husband and I hunt together now as a family. Your words helped explain his hunting passion to me. For years I was angry with him for spending so much time away hunting, but now it’s something we enjoy together. I’m really thankful for your book.
Pick up the book if you have not read it yet. I really enjoyed it.
Would love to own that bedding!
Your amazing. What a great giveaway. Thank you for everything you do for us woman and momma’s in the hunting industry. Your such an inspiration!
Thx for the list. I’ve alwsys wondered about the jewelry you wear. I probably won’t wait for the hubs to get the hint. Also, your book was such a great read. My daughter can’t wait to read it.
I ordered your book a couple weekends ago to read on our camping trip! I couldn’t put it down. I have yet to finish it, but with a 4 year old and an 8 month old there isn’t much time at the end of the day. I can’t wait to finish it. I also wanted to say thank you for being an inspiration, trying to find balance between momming, working and being a wife is rough some days. It is not easy but you sure make it look like it is.
Oooo these are all great ideas! Especially love all the jewelry! Definitely going to pass this along 😉
These are all GREAT ideas! Thanks Eva! Love all the jewelers! ?Hope you have a wonderful and Happy Mother’s Day! ? ?
I have the Traeger (just got it for my birthday in April) your book I devoured in a day, Hinterland Bedding I’m in love with and I love Mountain Ops (so does my teenage son who is a hunter and athlete). All your recommends are A+, keep them coming. I’m putting the boots and camo shirt on my Mothers Day list ?

Does Bass Pro not carry the Meindl Perfekt boots anymore? I need a pair of boots for an African hunt coming up and remembered you posting this gift guide last year, so I was going to order a pair. What other boots would you recommend?
[…] year?! Are there any amazing gifts I’ve left off the list?! There are even MORE options on this gift guide I did a few months back that I LOVE, so check that out if you need more ideas! I hope and pray […]
