Here at 国产吃瓜黑料, we know that giving gear can feel as great at getting new gear. That鈥檚 why we teamed up with Cairn, the Bend, Oregon鈥揵ased outdoor gear subscription box brand, to curate three : one geared toward adventure travel, one focused on fitness, and another that鈥檚 all about the water鈥攁ll are perfect for holiday gifting. The best part? Each collection is a killer value: you save 25 percent from what you鈥檇 spend if you purchased each piece on its own.

For the Globetrotter ($240)

Retail value: $319

A great travel pack seamlessly balances capacity, organization, and travel-specific features. The Gregory Praxus and Proxy (men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 models, respectively) is one of our faves鈥攁nd we especially love the vapor- and odor-resistant compartments to keep wet, dirty items from mingling with clean ones. To further boost your globetrotting giftee鈥檚 organization, we threw in Eagle Creek鈥檚 Pack It Specter Compression Cube Set, which is sure to blow their Tetris-inclined minds.

For on-the-go hydration and charging, we鈥檝e also included a highly insulated MiiR 42oz Wide Mouth Bottle and a solar-powered LuminAid PackLite Hero 2-in-1 Supercharger, which serves double duty as a lantern and a battery bank for small electronics. Last but certainly not least: our favorite new keep-yourself-clean hack, Sea to Summit鈥檚 compostable, skin-friendly Wilderness Wipes.

For the Fitness Fiend (Men鈥檚, $125; Women鈥檚, $136)

Retail value: $166 (men鈥檚), $182 (women鈥檚)

The heart of this kit is the Marmot Urban Hauler, a midsize daypack ready to tote workout essentials between the house, office, gym, and trailhead. We also chose our favorite new do-it-all tops鈥攖he Black Diamond Pulse Tee (men鈥檚) and Six Shooter Tank (women鈥檚). Both feature stretchy, anti-chafe construction and a super-breathable fabric that鈥檚 up for everything from yoga and CrossFit to runs and hikes. And the female gear editors here also love the Six Shooter鈥檚 built-in sports bra.

For mid-workout hydration, we included a HydraPak SoftFlask, which keeps half a liter of water handy and packs away to almost nothing when empty, making it the perfect companion for long runs. To keep your fitness fiend fueled, we selected some of the most popular sports nutrition in the office: Skratch Labs Sports Hydration Drink and nut-butter-filled Clif Cubes. And, finally, our favorite new product: the compact Rad Roller Original, for postworkout muscle relief鈥攁nywhere.

For Sun-Seekers ($316)

Retail value: $423

Does your giftee prefer oceans, rivers, or lakes? There鈥檚 no wrong answer here鈥攚e curated this box to work equally well on any body of water. The Hydro Flask 22L Soft Cooler Pack makes getting food and beverages from the car to the shore easy and will keep items cold for up to 48 hours鈥攅ven on the hottest days. And a SealLine Blocker PurgeAir Dry Sack keeps electronics, books, and a change of clothes sand-free and dry.

For eye protection, we picked a pair of polarized, recycled-plastic Sunski Makani Sunglasses because they look cool and have sharp lenses鈥攂ut also because they鈥檙e flattering on a wide range of head shapes. We鈥檙e big fans of the organic ingredients in All Good鈥檚 water-resistant Tinted Sunscreen, which is reef safe while providing broad-spectrum SPF 30 coverage. And finally, for drying-off duties, we鈥檝e included the super-absorbent Nomadix Towel, which packs away easily thanks to a low-profile design.
