Happy December, friends!
It’s go-time on one of the busiest times of the year. Decorating. Baking. Partying. Shopping. Merry making. Traveling.
This season has it all. Including hard-to-shop-for family members and friends.
For the camper van and outdoors lovers on your list, we have a few suggestions. Here are 10 great gifts from our own site and from Amazon they’re sure to love.
Holiday gift guide
For people who’d rather be outside or on the road
1. Super Cool Van Trips long-sleeve tee
Make the holidays Super Cool with the long-sleeve version of our camper van t-shirt. Simple line art brings together all the elements of a perfect camper van outing: mountains, hiking, paddle boarding and, of course, a campfire.
They’ll wear it on repat, as a base layer, a top layer or who knows.
2. Go hike travel coffee cup
Another great product from the Super Cool Van Trips store, this 11-ounce tumbler holds hot or cold beverages.
Or, use it as the ultimate koozy for a 12-ounce can.
The plastic press-on lid slides open and closed for ease of use.
The mountain scene has text on top that reads: Go hike. The graphic repeats on the other side.
A great gift they’ll use all year long.
3. Rumpl blanket
These polyester blankets have a cult following for a reason. They’re warm, easy to care for (machine wash) and made from recycled materials. Plus, they come in their own stuff sack for easy storage.
Buy one for every person in your camping crew. They’re perfect for sitting around the campfire, having a picnic or, obvi, sleeping.
4. GEAR AID Heroclip
Easy to store and crazy easy to use, this handy-dandy clip will quickly become an essential part of your loved one’s camping or hiking pack.
Simply clip the carabiner onto something, unfold the hook and hang up that nice hat or soaking wet towel. Or, reverse it and use the clip to hold some gear.
They’ll use these constantly. (Just don’t use them for climbing.)
5. Yeti LoadOut GoBox 30
If you truly want to wow, get them something (anything really) from Yeti. The celebrated brand is near and dear to the hearts of many an outdoor enthusiast.
These rugged boxes are incredibly useful for storing and protecting gear, and they look great, too. They’re basically eye candy.
Includes a removable cargo tray and pouch for smaller items.
6. LED camping lantern
There’s an absolutely crazy number of adorable LED camping lanterns available today. So crazy that it’s hard to pick just one.
We happen to think this one is pretty special. It’s got a retro look and a convenient rope handle for carrying or hanging.
It’s rechargeable, using a built-in USB cable. It’s also waterproof, and it can even act as a power bank to charge a mobile device.
7. Hurley trapper hat with ear flaps
If your hat has a great sense of humor, then you have a lot going for you. Or, so we believe here at Super Cool Van Trips.
Which is why we love a trapper hat with ear flaps, no matter what the fashion-forward set may say.
They’re great gifts for people who love being outside in cooler weather. Whether it’s at the campsite, on the trail or just around town.
8. Cascade Mountain Tech trekking poles
Hiking poles come in handy anytime of the year. Especially fall and winter, when wet leaves and snow can make the trail slicker than usual.
This carbon fiber set weighs 7.8 ounces. That’s less than a pound.
They have cork grips for comfort, a carrying bag for convenience and four sets of feet for different weather conditions.
9. I’d rather be camping socks
Socks make some of the best gifts — to give or to receive. Not for kids, of course. But, for adults? Hell yeah!
They’re ideal stocking stuffers. And, this pair would go great with our long-sleeve camper van t-shirt. Because you don’t want to gift only socks, now do you?
10. Cracker Barrel gift card
Now, before you say, what the what, and hit the X on your browser tab, hear us out.
A Cracker Barrel gift card is perfect for the RV and camper van travelers in your life. Because the restaurants let travel vehicles stay overnight in their lots. For free!
When your loved ones awake from their parking lot slumber, they can head inside and enjoy a hot breakfast on you.
We know that time with family and friends, especially outdoors, is the best gift of all. But, if you’d like to brighten a loved one’s season with a present or two, we hope this blog helps.
Happy holidays and much love from our family to yours.
We’ll see you out there next year.
