Hobbies And Interests
Safety
Buy your camper a whistle to wear around her neck in case she is separated during a hike. You can embellish the whistle with crystals to give this safety device a glamorous touch. Male campers will appreciate metal whistles attached to a themed cord. Another fun safety gift for campers is the flashlight. Give the camper a flashlight that is lightweight for easy packing and carrying. Search for flashlights that have special features, such as a radio or a multicolored light bulb.
Sun Protection
Campers must have gear that will protect them from the sun, such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, sunglasses and sunscreen. Select a clothing item that displays the camper's favorite sports team, logo, animal or color. Give heart-shaped sunglasses (make sure they provide the correct amount of protection) or scented sunscreens to make the trip even more enjoyable. For more sensitive campers, include lip gloss with appropriate SPF to further prevent sunburn and long-term sun damage.
Other Outdoor Elements
If you are shopping for a fun gift for a particular camping trip, consider the activities your camper will participate in. For a swimming trip there are bright compact towels. For camping on the beach, a pair of water shoes will come in handy. A folding walking stick personalized to your camper's height is practical and fun for hiking trips. A festive poncho is useful in various camping seasons and terrains.
Cooking Supplies
Cooking in the great outdoors is often a highlight of a camping trip --- why not give your camper the correct tools? Knives with multiple functions can be invaluable and attractive gifts for adults. Another camping gift is the mess kit, which generally includes cutlery, a plate, a cup and a convertible pan. Slip in a personal note on a napkin for a fun camping surprise.
