Some people are so hard to buy Christmas presents for, especially when they love something that you don’t. Don’t panic! I am here to help you gather some ideas for that difficult friend or family member. You also need to consider a few things before buying a gift. Does the person you are buying for go camping? do they love to fly allot? Do they own a campervan and travel cross country? Bellow I will have several different categories for you to look under, and find the perfect gift.

For the Campers
Hammocks
You can find many different hammocks, there’s literally an overwhelming amount of different brands to choose from. After using about 5 different brands I would have to say Eno is the BEST! I have used one for about 10 years and is still in pretty good condition. I’ve left that in the rain for several weeks at a time, and it still holds up. The others I have tried, have all ripped or the seams have torn.

Fire Starters
These are fantastic. It’s honestly a lot harder to start a fire than it looks, at least for the inexperienced. the fire starter bellow is a great backpack stuffer.
Blankets
You seriously can’t go wrong with a blanket. There are several different awesome colors so you can find your friend/family member’s favorite.
Colorful Flames
These will make your friend the center of attention at any bonfire. Any time we have used these at a party people kept asking if it was witch craft.
Blow Up Pillow
These are awesome for anybody. You can stuff these just about anywhere, and bring them out if you need a quick rest. Plus these are great for campers because you don’t want to take up room in your pack with a bulky pillow.

Wool Socks
Every cold weather camper needs some of these. This is one of the best ways to keep warm at night. The socks bellow are for men, but you can also find them in womens.
Life Straw Bottle
It’s so great knowing that we have one of these when exploring new areas. it’s always a great idea to have a second water source just in case.
For the Cross Country Travelers
Traveling Mugs
Seriously though, these are such life savers for those that travel allot.
Travel Bags
Backpacks or any kind of bags are great for those who travel. It’s a great way to keep things organized when you have little to no space.
Power Banks
I can’t tell you how handy these things have been to us traveling. I’m not sure why people don’t carry more of these. Its super important to always have a way to contact someone.
Organizer for the Annoying Cords
Wait where is that cord? I think its under my car seat… no actually it’s in the trunk? This has been a nightmare in our lives. We can never find the appropriate cord for the appropriate device. This will help out with your friend’s frustration.
Jewelry
This isn’t really a necessary item, but is super cute. A piece of jewelry is especially good for a girlfriend.
Journal
It’s so nice to have a journal while you travel. It’s great to look back on where you have been.
For The Sporty Outdoors People
Silicone Rings
These are great for your spouse or your married couple friends. When I wear my ring while biking or kayaking it forms calluses on my hand. Since switching to silicone during those activities, my hands remain callus free. This particular set is for men and women.
Fit Bit
I have been on many hiking and biking trips, and I always forget to bring my fit bit. I makes me so mad! Well, any way, maybe someone less forgetful than me will enjoy tracking their steps. I actually have a fit bit charge 4, and when I do remember to put it on it stays charged for about 5 days. It has been pretty durable and waterproof, considering I drop that sucker all the time. I’ve never had a problem with it out of the two years I have owned it.
GoPro
Though a bit pricey, I couldn’t go without mentioning the GoPro. I love using my Go Pro Silver 4 (yeah, I need an updated one). If the person you are buying for already has a GoPro, then try getting some lenses or attachments.
For those that Fly Across the World
Neck Pillows
Neck pillows are a must when flying anywhere. This makes the difference between a good and a bad flight.
Ear Buds
The Beats brand of earbuds are awesome for noise cancelation, comfort, and sound quality. I posted a RENEWED pair of Beats bellow because these are about half the price as brand new ones, and they work just as well.
Luggage
Every little bit of space matters when it comes to packing your carry on. We bought one similar to this, but at Walmart. We both love the hard shell best because everything seemed to pack tighter and easier. Plus this one comes with a locking system.
Luggage Tags
In order for luggage to really stand out, you may want to buy your friend some luggage tags. This also helps with any confusion if someone’s luggage looks the same as another’s.
Photo Printer
This is actually good for anyone. Who doesn’t love framing pictures from a vacation, or decorating a scrap book full of memories? You can print the photos from your phone instantly.
I hope This was useful in your search for some fantastic Christmas presents, or something for yourself.
