Camping Gift Ideas Australia: Gifts They'll Actually Use

Buying a gift for someone who loves camping should be easy. Then you realise they've already got a shed full of camping gear and probably don't need another torch, mug or random gadget.

The trick is finding something they'll actually use, whether they're heading away for the weekend, sitting around camp or just wearing it at home.

Here are a few camping gift ideas that are a bit easier to get right.

1. A Camping Tee

A good camping tee is an easy place to start because it doesn't have to stay packed away with the camping gear.

They can wear it around home, heading away for the weekend, around camp or catching up with mates.

Dust'd Up Co has a range of country, camping and 4WD inspired designs in our Tees collection.

If you're buying one as a gift, have a quick look at the size of a tee they already wear rather than taking a guess.

2. A Cap

Anyone who's spent time camping in Australia knows a cap usually gets plenty of use.

It's also a good option when you don't know someone's shirt size.

Wear it around camp, chuck it in the 4WD or keep it handy for weekends outside. It's a simple gift that doesn't need much thought from the person receiving it.

3. Camping Accessories

Sometimes the smaller things make the easiest gifts.

If they've already got plenty of clothing, have a look at camping and 4WD accessories instead.

They're particularly handy when you're looking for a smaller birthday present, Christmas gift or something extra to go with a tee.

4. Put Together a Camping Gift Pack

If one present doesn't feel like enough, make up your own little camping gift pack.

Start with a tee, then add a cap or smaller accessory.

You can choose everything around the person you're buying for instead of grabbing a pre-made gift pack full of things they might never use.

5. Think About What They're Actually Into

Not every camper is the same.

Some people spend every chance they get away in the bush. Others love setting up beside the water for a few days. Some are into their 4WD just as much as the camping itself.

That's why it helps to choose something that matches the person rather than simply searching for "camping gifts" and buying the first thing that comes up.

If they're into country, camping and 4WDs, you've already got a pretty good starting point.
