Stuck for ideas for what to buy the camping enthusiast in your life this Christmas? Or are your nearest and dearest stuck for ideas for you? If you are, just sit back and browse our selection of some of the best gift ideas, without leaving the comfort of your armchair.
Barbecue
Although Christmas may seem a strange time of year to buy a barbecue, no self-respecting lover of the great outdoors would look this particular gift horse in the mouth! Touring caravanners and campers may err towards a charcoal grill when considering the weight to be towed, but whether you choose a Landmann Wagon Barbecue with integral windbreak or a portable Landmann Portago Barbecue, they won’t be able to wait for their next trip.
Picnic blanket
Perfect for picnics in the park or beach dining, our Navigate Coast picnic blanket measures a generous 135cm x 140cm and has a waterproof backing. Simply shake the blanket after use, roll it up and carry it away with the adjustable shoulder strap and carry handle.
Picnic set
Perfect for dining al fresco on the beach, or in the country, our picnic sets make a practical yet thoughtful gift. Choose from a traditional picnic hamper for two (ideal for a romantic getaway) equipped with plates, glasses, napkins, cutlery and even a bottle opener and condiments, or a handy picnic backpack for a family of four. With plastic crockery and glassware so you won’t break your back, the backpack features adjustable straps and a detachable bottle holder.
Travel games
For rainy days or evenings when you don’t feel like venturing too far from base, how about a board game? Our selection of family friendly games includes compact versions of all your favourites, including Monopoly and Connect 4.
Kite
From the young to the young at heart, everyone loves a kite. We offer a range of air toys that will make loved ones of all ages smile this Christmas. The HQ Symphony Beach 1.8 Rainbow kite is a great introduction to soft-foil kites for anyone over the age of 12. Or what about a great beginners stunt kite for younger children in the form of the HQ Dancer Rainbow?
Water bottle
The ideal stocking filler, our water bottles and bottle cages make a great present. Available in black or white, the bottles can be used by hikers or attached to a bicycle by means of a coordinating bottle cage. A great way to ensure you stay hydrated when you’re out and about!
Sleeping bag
The Kampa Dometic Annecy Lux Sleeping Bag is the perfect three seasons sleeping bag that lovers of the great outdoors will really appreciate. Available in two sizes (large and extra-large), the sleeping bag features an UltraLoft+ insulation and comes complete with a carry bag.
Camping chair
After a long day in the great outdoors, nothing beats sitting round a barbecue or firepit with a glass of wine so why not give the gift of a camping chair to make those moments even more comfortable? Choose from a Kampa high back, super comfortable and extra-large armchair for the ultimate in home comforts, or if space is at a premium, the Kampa Chairman chair features an integral folding side table.
Tent
Perfect for weekends away or for couples who love the festival circuit, the Coleman Galiano 2 Tent is a great gift idea. The tent features a ‘FastPitch’ pop-up mechanism which allows it to be erected in a flash. With integral groundsheet and a polyester PU coated outer, the tent will pack away quickly and compactly for storage in the supplied carry bag.
Light
We stock a selection of lights, torches and lanterns but this Draper Beanie Hat really caught our eye, with its integral torch. The perfect head lamp for getting around in the dark; perhaps you’ve arrived late to your campsite and face the prospect of setting up in the dark or you are returning from an evening out after dark. Available in grey or black, this comfortable beanie has a built-in, rechargeable LED light which is removable for washing.
This is just a small selection of gift ideas you can find at BEC Ingoldmells for anyone whose happy place is under the stars. With prices from as little as £4.98 you are bound to find the perfect gift this Christmas.
