Looking for the perfect holiday gifts that won’t break the bank? We’ve got you covered. We compiled this year’s most popular Under $50 Gifts for the anglers, beach bums, hunters and outdoor lovers on your list. From rod-and-reel combos to kayaking gear, these are the gifts that will put a smile on their face—and make your wallet happy.
Performance Shirts
Shirts may be a standard of holiday gift giving—but these are no ho-hum, ordinary shirts. High-performance outdoor shirts maximize breathability, wick away moisture and dry quickly. Best of all, they protect against the sun’s harmful UV radiation. Both the Men's Long Sleeve Performance Shirt in Mossy Oak® Cloudbank and the Men’s Long Sleeve Performance Hoodie in Mossy Oak® King Fisher offer UPF 30+ sun protection along with all-day comfort thanks to moisture-wicking materials and strategic mesh panels. Calcutta’s best-selling Original Logo Performance Shirts feature a moisture-busting system that keeps skin cool on the hottest days.
Gifts That Care: High-performance shirts block harmful UV rays.
Hunting and Shooting Vests
From busting clay birds to flushing a covey of quail, hunting and shooting vests are designed to carry shotshells, electronics and other essentials. The HQ Outfitters Dove & Small Game Hunting Vest, in Mossy Oak® Break-up Country camo, features breathable mesh construction and a lined game bag. The Upland Hunting Vest, which includes an e-collar remote pocket, front-access game bag and a ton of shotshell loops, is built for chasing bird dogs and hounds through backcountry brambles.

A wide-opening top offers fast access while the padded shoulder strap and carrying handles maximize portability. Whether it’s a road trip or a fishing trip, the Calcutta Pack 12 Cooler maintains icy cold temps for hours longer than most soft coolers.
