These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.
Top 5 Camping Gifts For The Great Outdoors
1) Flip Reel Tackle Kit
That hand line fishing reel is going to need some tackle on the end of it. Choose small or medium hooks or a squid lure—each comes with a sinker and a swivel clip made just for the Flip Reel. Now all you need to do is cast a line and wait for the first nibble.
2) Pump2Pour Insulated Jug
An insulated jug that keeps flavor on tap, the Pump2Pour is ideal for outdoor fun. Just a push of the palm adds perfect pressure to maintain consistent flow of whatever you’re pouring, and it also retains the carbonation of bubbly beverages. Double-walled stainless steel keeps drinks hot or cold for hours.
3) Near-Ear Bluetooth Speaker
You don’t have to negotiate between wireless speakers or earphones. These Bluetooth beach speakers create a personal, near-ear listening experience to give you the best of both. They’re heat-, sand-, and splash-proof—and they work beyond the beach, too. Listen to your favorite tunes, still hear what’s going on around you, and leave others free from hearing your music.
4) Beacon Lantern
Light your campsite or backyard in style. Barebones Living's Beacon Lantern comes with a dimming switch for a wide range of illumination and a battery that can last up to 200 hours on low. Its carabiner top makes hanging a breeze and the battery is easily rechargeable via USB.
5) Pocket Blanket
