Christmas Gifts....

Looking for ideas to get for my wife for Christmas. We are relatively new to the camping scene and I am looking for ideas for the camper/camping. Things that you have now that you wish you would have had sooner or thought you would never want/need. As little as a stocking stuffer, as big as a major gift.

Thank you,
Mike
  • a variety of mouse proof containers for things like cereals, crackers, chips, candy, packages of dry mixes...anything a mouse can chew a hole in.
    a good knife sharpener.
    we use a small can opener that runs on a battery and fits in the utensils drawer.
    a variety of spices in the little bitty jars.

    x2 or else
  • if she drinks wine, a bottle of wine and 4 plastic wine "glasses" that won't break. I like the ones without stems because they fit in the drink holder on our outdoor chairs and won't tip over in the wind!
    A note that says you are taking her somewhere on the next trip that she's always wanted to go. And give her a travel book from there.
    Kindle if she likes to read. Gift card for Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble if she has a Kindle or Nook. A small pillow for reading.
    Gas firepit.
    I like "Life is Good" tee shirts. Cute colors, sayings and camping things on them. They have short sleeve and long sleeve. http://www.lifeisgood.com/gift-ideas/camping-and-hiking/
  • My wife loves her small sized slow cooker/Crock Pot ... She got it herself.. it does not take up a lot of room , and fits nice and neat under the counter... Every time she uses it , she says how great it is.! a comfy camp recliner....
  • X2 on a oxygenics shower head. If she has never had one they increase the water pressure in most RV showers 100%. She will love it!

    A Ninja is another cool gift idea. The darn thing is probably about $100 on sale. It looks like a small pressure cooker. It is an oven, a crock pot, and a stove all built into one. It she does any cooking in the RV she will love that thing.
