A smaller backpack can be a lovely Christmas gift for someone who enjoys local walks and easy days out. It needs to hold their actual kit, though—not just look compact under the tree.
Think about the person carrying it
The 18 litre daypack may be worth comparing for an adult carrying a modest load. Do not assume an adult pack will fit a child simply because its capacity is smaller. Check the dimensions, straps and comfort with the person who will wear it.
For family walks, ask whether they carry only their own belongings or everyone's snacks and spare clothes. Bulky winter layers can quickly fill the space. A hydration bladder is not promised with this listing.
If the whole load will not fit, consider a larger option. The gift should make getting outside easier, without encouraging anyone to leave essentials at home.
