Let's get physical: Gifts for playing outside

You don't have to bend over backwards to find the perfect sporty gift — unless that's your style. We've got the right stuff to play faster, harder and better, and longer.

Making the investment in a quality sleeping bag is nothing to poke a stick at. In fact, it's quite a tall order for a measly bag to replace your hallowed bed in the great outdoors. But Kelty has a good handle on how to compensate for slumbering on rocks with this four-season, 750-fill down bag, featuring welded, waterproof construction in the hood and foot areas. It's so good, Outdoor Life magazine awarded it with a Gear of the Year designation. Kelty Foraker Zero Degree Sleeping Bag, $300, at Austin Canoe & Kayak, Whole Earth Provision Co., Sun & Ski Sports.

Peña is coming off an impressive 2025 season that cemented his status as the Astros’ best position player, hitting .304 with 17 home runs and 20 stolen bases — enough to rank as eighth most valuable position player in the American League. That enhances an already impressive resume that includes being named the MVP of the 2022 World Series as the Astros won their second title.

Grosso is just as accomplished as her fiancee. Currently a member of the NWSL's Chicago Red Stars, she won a gold medal with the 2020 Canadian national team.

No word on a wedding date or venue, yet. Although Peña reportedly turned down a $105 million contract extension last season, he’s still going to earn $9 million in 2026, so it should be a party to remember.
