Top 5 Camping Gifts For The Great Outdoors
1) Stainless Steel Camping Cups

These stainless steel camping cups are a great addition to your camp kitchen and a wonderful companion for any outdoor activity. These cups are double-walled for insulation and are stackable to easily pack and carry.
2) Handy-Lite Snap On LED Task Light

This LED task light has a flexible grip that lets you fit it onto things like a tool handle, cane, paint brush, and pipe. It's a simple, hands-free way to shine a light in a convenient spot.
3) Insulated Phone Case

This insulated phone case keeps a smartphone the just-right temperature while you’re out in either chilly or steamy conditions. Eight layers of insulation are built into the case to protect a phone. Chill it in the refrigerator before hitting the beach or pop it in the microwave before heading out into the cold. If your phone is already overheated or frozen, no worries—the case can restore it in about a minute.
4) Wood Pellet Fire Pit

Flame Genie: Premium Wood Pellets
5) Near-Ear Bluetooth Speaker

You don’t have to negotiate between wireless speakers or earphones. These Bluetooth beach speakers create a personal, near-ear listening experience to give you the best of both. They’re heat-, sand-, and splash-proof—and they work beyond the beach, too. Listen to your favorite tunes, still hear what’s going on around you, and leave others free from hearing your music.
