The Best Holiday Gifts for your Favorite RVer

This holiday season, there are plenty of helpful, organizable, and convenient products that can make every RVer’s daily routine a bit easier. With ideas ranging from hot beverages to portable blenders for cold drinks, protective hand lotions to reusable dish cloths, this list should have at least one product that will inspire RVers and campers alike. Here’s a look and some great options!

Campfire and Grill Accessory Gifts

Hugo Coffee

This coffee brand is great to take along to the campfire. Whether whole bean or slow drip is chosen, brewing coffee over an open flame is easy, provides a great aroma and doesn’t demand much cleanup. 

By purchasing Hugo Coffee, you are not only giving a gift to your friend or relative, but you are helping one of the many nationwide dog shelters. The company donates $2.50 of each item sold to animal rescues throughout the United States. To date, the company has donated $87,453 and has seen 874 rescue dogs adopted to ‘fur-ever’ homes. This can be another gift that keeps on giving. 

Pull Start Fire

So much easier than the old caveman style of fire starting; no rocks needed! Easy as 1, 2, and 3: add wood, pull the string, and let the flaming begin.  No matches are needed, and no lighters or kindling are needed either. 

Some details include the fact that it is windproof and rainproof, burns for 30 minutes and is safe to cook food over (like the pot of Hugo coffee mentioned above). This product will light wet wood and is hands down the easier and quickest way to start a campfire. Packed in a small box, it is easy to toss it in the RV and store out of the way. 

Great Scrape

For those who love to BBQ, but aren’t fond of the cleanup, a gift from the Great Scrape will be much appreciated. An alternative to a wire brush, the solid hardwood scraper is a great grilling accessory. Making light work out of cleaning the grill, this wooden scraper is compatible with flat tops and with griddles. These products will work great with this next item as well.

GCI Outdoor SLIM-FOLD Outdoor Cook Station

A bit pricier than other gifts in the list, this mega-convenient cook station is $99.99 at Camping World. Though it doesn’t come with a grill, it folds down so compactly that the tiniest of campers can still easily store this cart. A weight of 21 pounds, when folded it is just 3.7 inches wide and measures 34.6 inches in height. Lots of organization without a bulky, space-wasting item. 

Kitchen/Cleaning Supplies

BlendQuik

This is a great idea for RVers! A combination of practical and convenience, the BlendQuik is the world’s first mason jar design that doubles as a portable blender. Make smoothies, protein shakes, dips and dressings, etc. with this handheld blender. At the campfire or in the RV, BlendQuik’s ten stainless steel blades will blend ingredients into silky smooth drinks. No need to take the lid off once the drink is ready; just blend and sip.

Travel-Themed Kitchen Towels

While it’s true cleaning supplies might not be at the top of your friends’ and relatives’ Christmas gift list, these helpful products can be gifts that keep on giving.

Not just a boring old dish towel, these pieces of art highlight a traveler’s favorite destination. Xplorer Maps offers numerous locations to choose from for each order, and also offers maps on tumblers, coffee mugs, blankets, coasters and even puzzles. 

Each towel is 100 % original, made of 100% cotton-flour sack and is 18” X 24” flat.

Odor-free Dishcloth

For extended RV trips, keeping dish clothes clean can be a hassle. Fortunately, this next gift idea is one that certainly keeps on giving. The Odor-free dishcloth remains fresh without regular machine washing. They air dry within 15 minutes, which prevents bacteria growth from setting in. Use. Wash. Hang up by the hook and let it air dry. Use. Rinse. Repeat.   Gifting this product to yourself or another RVer is affordable, as a four-pack is less than ten dollars. Color options are lemon, lime, and brown. Get yours here. 

Organizational Bags for in the RV and Beyond

Milmo 1813 Bag

For an organized trip outside of the RV, this is a must-have bag. Large enough to carry practically anything, from a laptop to snacks and a water bottle, this practical bag is great for any beach outing or hiking adventure. With a large, water-proof inner pocket, and a small pocket on the outside that is perfect for keys and other small items, plus a removable and water-resistant main compartment liner, this bag can be transformed for perfect use each time. 

For the RVers traveling with small kids, this is a stylish alternative to a diaper bag, possibly with even more space. Keep all kids’ necessities organized within this large bag. Available in four colors-black, green, grey, and yellow, the bag measures 18 inches long, 13 inches wide and is six inches deep. 

WanderFull’s HydroBag

This is another product that makes it easy to stay organized. Whether on the hiking trail, at a theme park or even just out for a day of exploring, the crossbody Hydrobag is lightweight with plenty of potential. This bag has a water resistant lined front zip pocket that opens to credit card slots, a place for a cell, a small pocket for a pen and a pocket for cash.

The main compartment holds bottles up to 3.5 inches in diameter. A water bottle, bottle of wine or a coffee cup can safely be transported in the main section.  Multiple color options are available. 

Park Passes

If gifting an annual pass to an RV resort chain is what you’d like to do, this section is for you. 

There are a few different options for RV park passes but this article will only highlight two main options. Passport America offers 50% discounts at over 1,450 participating locations throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The cost is $44 a year and though siimiliar to KOA or Sam Good, this one gives a larger discount on camping site costs. The catch, there’s always a catch, is this particular one doesn’t carry as many perks. Also, campgrounds can place rules and regulations, which could hinder plans. 

The other company that offers a yearly membership is KOA. The KOA has more than 500 franchised campgrounds around the United States and Canada. The annual cost is $33 and offers 10 percent off reservations at KOA locations. With each stay, members rack up points that can be applied to larger discounts down the road. Additionally, each year, members get free camping for one week.  Membership here allows for store discounts at Goodyear, Discovery Parks and other places. 

For those who love to RV to national parks, consider buying an annual pass for them. For $80, the annual pass provides entrance to over 2,000 recreation areas that are managed by six Federal agencies. America the Beautiful is the park pass that covers all entrance and standard day-use fees for nearly all the parks and recreation areas managed by the following agencies: National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 

Lights and Decorations

For outdoor party lighting, there is a website that offers numerous options, ranging from chili peppers and cactus string lights, mason jar string lights, and RV Retro lanterns party string lights, among many others. 

If you want to gift a security light for the outside of your friend’s RV, consider buying an RV awning Lights Ledcare light kit from Amazon.  

Camping World provides plenty of option for RV decorations. From Happy Camper Coasters, a light up 4.5’ palm tree to wall clocks and key racks, that unique and fun gift could just be a mouse click away!  

Health and Beauty Products

Camping can be rough and some of these products might make the time outdoors a bit cleaner, nicer and safer. Plus, they will make a great stocking stuffer. Let’s take a look at a few, shall we?

Gloves in a Bottle

This product is shielding lotion that bonds with the outer layer of skin and hands and feet, that works to create a protective barrier that helps skin heal itself from the effects of everyday use or over washing. This bonding process creates a protective barrier that lasts through four hours of washing and sanitizing. Safe for use on hands, feet, body and even the face. 

Nurses use the product often, as a way to prevent dry skin, but for those out hiking and being outdoors, this product would be just as effective in protecting hands and feet. 

Zion Health

With cold weather bearing down for most of us, dry skin can be a real issue at times. The products at Zion Health can help break the dry, flaky skin of wintertime with Feet Treat and Hand Repair. These two products provide daily rejuvenation with a hydrating blend of ingredients, including a few nourishing Botanical Extracts.  These products will heal and soothe rough, dry patches and leave your skin ultra smooth.

There is also a Sweet Amber Lotion that comes in a compact, pump handled bottle, easy to store in the RV or go bag. The mineral-packed daily lotion will leave skin feeling healthy and looking radiant, even on the coldest of winter days. 

Other Must-Haves for RVers

Hydration Spray Bottles

This is another multi-use item that is practical for either on the road, at the campground, or a hiking trail. The Hydration Spray Bottle can be used as a personal mister, a sport water bottle or a miniature garden hose. 

At the campsite, use this product to rinse off dinner plates before taking them into the RV. On a hike, use it as a mister and allow the misting water to cool you down. Or just use it as a sports water bottle and stay hydrated throughout any outdoor activity. 

Infinity Hybrid Headlamp

This is a great addition for any camper. Free up your hands with this 650/750 Lumen rechargeable headlamp, sure to light up the darkest of pathways. The headlamp can shine on high for two hours or on low for 36 hours. There are eight beam modes, and the headlamp is lightweight and water-resistant. 

Time to Gift Shop!

So, hopefully this list has given an idea or two. Whether the gift you are looking for is for that ‘hard to buy for’ person, or for someone who already ‘has everything they need’, there should be something within this list that would be a benefit to everyone on your shopping list.
