Stocking Stuffers for the Camper in your Life

It can be quite a challenge to find small gifts with plenty of meaning and use, so here are 10 great ideas for stocking stuffers. These stocking stuffers are small and inexpensive at $35 or less, but the person you snatch these up for will get lots of use and enjoyment from these.

10.  A small, packable pillow for a great night’s sleep in the woods. Totally beats their bumpy and lumpy sweatshirt. Get this one from Teton Sports here.

 

9. There is no denying that cell phones are a large part of everyday life for people. In fact, many campers and hikers use them as cameras to take valuable pictures of their adventures. Make sure the adventurer in your life doesn’t miss capturing that moment with a power bank so they can stay charged on the go! Get 10000 MaH with this one from Anker.

8. Brighten their day with a new headlamp! This is a convenient way to make sure they can see whatever they need to in the dark and have both hands free. Try out this rechargeable one from Foxelli.

7. A spork is great for any campers stocking stuffers! You can never have enough of these. Toaks titanium long handled spork ensures you get every last morsel of your mountain house, without getting a mess on your hands.

6. A multitool is one of those things that you don’t realize how great it is until you have one, making it a great gift! They will say “you thought of everything!”  I recommend the Leatherman Squirt – compact and reasonably priced!

5. The number 5 spot goes to canister stoves! If the person you are gifting is just starting out, one with an ignition built in is great. Although, if they’ve been at this awhile, it might be time to upgrade to something smaller and lighter.

  

4. It is always nice to have some form of entertainment out in the woods, something that is often overlooked is games! However, there are a lot of small games you can bring with you, without taking up a ton of room in your pack. Here are a few to check out: Go Find It, Monopoly Deal, Skipbo, Hero Realms, and Catan the Dice Game.

3. Is there anything better than dessert? While many campers and hikers have dehydrated meals on hand, a dessert is a luxury that many don’t splurge on. Here are a few favorites to sweeten their stocking: apple crisp, cheesecake, creme brulee.

2. Sliding into the number two spot is a pair of leather gloves. Leather gloves are great to wear around camp, protecting your hands from scrapes and splinters. A nice basic pair to start with is the Mechanix leather gloves.

  1. Finally, the number one stocking stuffers for your camper/hiker is a nice pair of Darn Tough socks. You can nab a pair for either gender, keep them plain or capture their personality with a pattern. These antimicrobial socks will keep their feet dry and comfy, whether it’s hot or cold out!
