Camping Gifts

What's a good gift for someone who loves camping?

A good camping gift is an upgrade they'll pack on every trip: a bigger or faster tent, a self-inflating sleeping mat, a folding camp table or a portable fridge. Campers replace gear one trip at a time, so a better version of something they own is always welcome. Camping gifts at Tanstella start at about $34.

Camping gift ideas by type

• For faster set-up: a pop-up or instant tent, from about $38, in sizes from couples to big families.
• For a better night's sleep: a self-inflating mat, air mattress or sleeping bag, from about $38.
• For the camp kitchen: a folding aluminium camp table, from about $39, and a 12V/240V portable fridge for trips without ice.
• For light at night: a rechargeable lantern or torch, from about $34.
• For downtime: a hammock chair, from about $43, or a picnic basket set.

How to choose a camping gift

1. Ask how they camp: car camping suits bigger tents and fridges; hiking needs light, small gear.
2. Pick a tent rated for one or two more people than will sleep in it, for room to move and store bags.
3. Check the temperature rating on sleeping bags for the seasons they camp in.
4. For a fridge, 40 to 60 L suits a couple; 90 to 100 L suits families and longer trips.
