Shop for the best bear gifts for the wildlife and outdoor enthusiast in your life – practical, cute, funny, and fun gifts included.

If you follow us on social media, you know that our Asheville, North Carolina home is also the residence of some pesky but adorable black bear families.

They flip our plants, climb and itch their butts on our trees, and look into our windows. The cats are always ticked. We even pay extra for bear-proof trash cans.

And, if you love hiking across Western North Carolina (WNC) and the Blue Ridge Mountains, you might just run into a few black bears too.

In honor of our furry friends and for our mountain travelers and residents, we are sharing the best gifts for bear lovers.

Find bear-themed gifts for adults as well as the entire family, including games, apparel, books, glassware, blankets, socks, and souvenirs.

Not all of these bear gift ideas are just black bears either. Spy polar bears, brown bears, and teddy bears.

35 Best Bear Gifts To Buy Online

One of the best bear gifts for adults, almost everyone can appreciate a good coaster.

After seeing our baby bears eating acorns close up through the windows, their massive paw prints are quite memorable.

Remember your NC travels with these boating bears or log-rolling bear coasters.

Campfire Black Bear Night-Light

We love making s’mores, but we don’t hang out on the lawn when it’s an active bear season. While we love to share, we don’t appreciate uninvited guests. Even cute ones.

Bear gifts don’t get any sweeter than this nightlight, perfect for guest bathrooms and bedrooms.

Black Bear Utensil Holder

Many of the homes in established Asheville neighborhoods are older, including areas like Montford, Grove Park, and North Asheville.

We could personally use more cabinet and kitchen space, which makes utensil holders one of the most practical bear-themed gifts for the home chefs in your life.

Black Bear Salt & Pepper Shaker

You always see videos of bears breaking into people’s cabins and grabbing the goods, which is terrible for all parties involved.

However, this black bear salt and pepper is adorable. Think he’ll give up the goods?

They remind us of living in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

For children, especially, gift them with a glow-in-the-dark throw blanket.

Black Bear Fan Pull

After watching our momma bear climb a giant tree to the top of our two-story home, we feel like this bear-themed fan chain is pretty realistic.

Momma’s claw marks cut into the tree, and we watched her slide right down to the ground.

This is one of our favorite subtle but fun gifts for bear lovers, especially if you own a cabin or cottage.

Surprise Bear Mug

This is how we felt when we moved into our Asheville home: surprise, there is a bear in your garden… or coffee mug.

For bear-themed gifts, this mug is for both coffee and bear lovers.

Bear Yard Ornament

If you think yard gnomes are creepy and have read R.L. Stine, you might appreciate this sculpture.
