Ahhh, Christmas. The time of giving. Striving to find just the right gift to give your loved ones a wonderful surprise they will enjoy and use. When those loved ones live or travel extensively in their van or RV, it gets even harder. Oh, sure, you could give them gas or restaurant gift cards but getting a minimalist like me a gift they can appreciate is sometimes a struggle.
I have developed a list of unique and useful RV and camping gifts that I would love to share with you that I am sure your Vanlife and RV loving friends and family will love.

Otenick RV Rotating Table
This table has changed how I both work and live in my van. It’s an easy assembly and disassembly when not needed and is stored easily. The mechanism of the table allows for both height adjustment and a 360° rotation. It does not come with a tabletop. I simply took a wooden TV table top and attached it to the mount. It is a perfect size for my computer whether I am watching it or working on it. A gift your friends and family will enjoy for years to come.

Clip-on 12V Fan
This handy little device can be clamped onto any surface to keep the air moving in a van or RV.

Thermocell Mosquito Repeller
This is by far the best product I have found to repell mosquitoes. These little pests can make an outside adventure into an outside nightmare. Thermocell provides both a lantern and a model for carrying with you for optimal mosquito protection. The heated pads create a scent for mosquitoes that they do not like, giving you a 15-foot protection zone wherever you go.

Cast Iron Pie Iron
Sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows is fun but what if you have an urge for a sandwich. Cast Iron Pie Irons are a fun addition to what I call fire food. You can make a sandwich or bring a little pie filling and have hot apple pie around the fire. They also come as a double so you can make 2 apple pies over the fire. A fun gift for any Campers and their family.
