Gifts for Hikers & Walkers

Know someone who's happiest with muddy boots and a pair of binoculars? These British wildlife gifts are made for people who spend their weekends on footpaths, in nature reserves and along coastal paths - the kind of people who stop to watch a heron fish or identify a bird call without thinking twice.

At Pin Badger, we design compact, wearable wildlife accessories that are perfect for the outdoors-loving gift recipient. Enamel pins for their walking jacket, iron-on patches for their rucksack, stickers for their water bottle, and keyrings for their car keys. All featuring the native British wildlife they're most likely to encounter on a walk.

Frequently asked questions

Are enamel pins suitable for outdoor jackets?
Yes - our pins use a butterfly clutch back which holds securely on most jacket fabrics. For extra security on technical fabrics, a locking pin back is a good addition.

Do iron-on patches stay on rucksacks?
Iron-on patches adhere best to cotton and canvas fabrics. For nylon or technical rucksack materials, we recommend sewing around the edges for a permanent fix.

What's a good gift for someone who walks the countryside?
