🎁 The 1000 Hours Outside Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts That Reclaim Childhood, Reconnect Families, and Restore a Little Sanity 🎁
Every year, the same dilemma strikes: What do we actually give our kids that doesn’t end up buried under the couch by January?
I’ve come to believe the best gifts are the ones that help our kids live bigger lives; ones that bring them connection, confidence, creativity, and time in the fresh air.
This year, I’m thrilled to share three partnerships (plus a bonus one) that check all those boxes (and then some). These are not just products we like, they’re companies we deeply believe in. They’re building tools for a better childhood, and we proudly stand behind every one of them.
So grab a cup of cocoa (or your third coffee, no judgment here) and let’s dive into the 1000 Hours Outside Holiday Gift Guide.
🌲 1. The Cosmo x 1000 Hours Outside Adventure Bundle
Because kids deserve connection, not comparison.
👉 Shop the exclusive bundle here.
I’m so excited about this one. We’ve partnered with Cosmo Smartwatches for Kids to create an exclusive 1000 Hours Outside Adventure Bundle, and it’s truly the best deal you’ll find anywhere — over $200 in value, completely free when you sign up for a Cosmo membership.
Here’s what’s included:
Free JrTrack 5 Kids Smartwatch ($149.99 value)
Free custom 1000 Hours Outside wristband ($14.99 value)
Free extra teal wristband ($14.99 value)
1000 Hours Outside logo sticker (because, obviously)
2 months of Cosmo Membership FREE ($24.99 value)
All of this comes with unlimited talk and text, GPS tracking, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
It’s the perfect balance of freedom for kids and peace of mind for parents. Your kids can roam the neighborhood, build real-world friendships, and still stay safely connected; no addictive apps or endless scrolling required.
When I think about how childhood used to look - bikes in the driveway, chalk on the sidewalk, someone yelling “be home by dinner!”, this partnership feels like a modern way to bring that back.
🎁 Supplies are VERY limited, so grab your exclusive 1000 Hours Outside Adventure Bundle before they’re gone: www.cosmotogether.com/1000hours
🚲 2. woom Bikes — Let Them Ride. Let Them Reconnect.
👉 Shop woom Bikes for the best Holiday deals!
There’s something timeless about a bike. The wind in your hair, the scraped knees, the laughter that follows you down the street, it’s childhood in motion.
We started our kids on balance bikes back when hardly anyone knew what they were. No training wheels. No fear. Just pure joy.
This year, our nine-year-old got her woom Explore 6 in Magnetic Blue, and it’s everything we hoped for: lightweight, ergonomic, easy to assemble, and built for adventure. Because woom designs bikes for kids, not just scaled-down versions of adult models. That means the ride feels natural, fun, and empowering (stay tuned for a review on this soon!)
Honestly, this bike has become her passport to freedom. She hops on, pedals to a friend’s house, and before I know it, they’ve logged another hour toward their 1000 Hours Outside goal.
So this Christmas, don’t just give a bike. Give confidence, connection, and countless outdoor memories.

💡 3. Daylight Computer Co. Because Childhood Deserves Better Tech
In a world of glowing screens and endless notifications, Daylight Computer Co. is rewriting the story of what technology can be.
Their DC-1 and Kids Bundles are designed for families who value curiosity and calm over chaos. With paper-like displays, zero blue light, and no addictive algorithms, Daylight makes tech that fits into a healthy family rhythm, instead of hijacking it.
Our kids use Daylight devices for reading, journaling, and learning, all without the constant pings and pop-ups that pull them away from real life. It’s tech that helps you live intentionally rather than constantly reacting.
If you’ve ever thought, “We need a middle ground between total screen-free and total chaos,”, this is it.

Finally! Technology that aligns with your family’s values.
🏕️ 4. (BONUS!) The 1000 Hours Outside Store — Everyday Adventure Gear for Real Families
👉 Shop the 1000 Hours Outside Store.
Okay, you knew this one was coming. 😉
Because honestly, sometimes the best way to give is to equip; to set your family up for more adventures together.
Our 1000 Hours Outside Store is filled with hand-picked gear that makes getting outside a little easier (and a lot more fun):
🎒 Backpacks, hammocks, towels, apparel, lunchboxes, water bottles, and more.
These are everyday tools for everyday adventure, designed for real families who climb trees, chase fireflies, and occasionally forget the snacks.
A Few Final Thoughts…
As parents, we’re not just shopping for stuff, we’re investing in experiences, values, and memories that shape our kids for life.
Every one of these partners - Cosmo, woom, and Daylight - shares our vision for a childhood that’s more connected, more confident, and more grounded.
These are gifts that keep on giving, long after the wrapping paper has been recycled and the batteries have run out.
So here’s to reclaiming childhood, one meaningful gift at a time.
May your holidays be filled with wonder, laughter, and maybe just a little less screen time. 😉
With love and muddy boots,
