Are you good at gift giving? I feel I am pretty good when it comes to knowing what the other person might like but when it comes to my husband, I’m hopeless. My husband on the other hand is such a good gift-er, he always gives me the most thoughtful gifts which makes me feel terrible! Valentine’s Day or Christmas comes around and I usually pick out a gift frantically a few days before or like last year, I shopped for his birthday gift on his birthday. I didn’t even have time to wrap up the gift and just gave it to him. I am so romantic, I know! I had 364 days to plan for his birthday but, of course, I wait until the 365th day to go shopping for his gift. So I am trying to be better and I put a lot of thought and effort into making this list and had my husband in mind, who is very hard to please. Many of these he already owns (that we bought with our own money and not gifted) and love it so we can personally recommend most of these items, except for two items that I think my husband would really like to have.
1. Camp kitchen set. Doesn’t this kitchen set look awesome? Like any event or trips or parties, food is in THE top 3 most important factor for me. Always. And I don’t know why but doesn’t food taste so good when you’re camping? This kitchen set is not a necessity but I think it would make cooking more enjoyable and easier! This Camp Kitchen from Cabela’s.
2. Instant cabin tent. We recently bought this instant tent and this is a life changer! We didn’t even know such thing existed, it literally takes like 30 seconds to set up! We own two tents that are not instant ones and setting up the tent was always what took most of our time and was such a hassle. My husband took this instant tent when he went camping solo with our 3 kids and he said it was a breeze and so fast and easy. We want a 2 men tent, 4 men tent, and a 6 men tent also! View Ozark Trail 8-Person Instant Cabin Tent here.
3. Cast iron skillet. We own a cast iron skillet and it’s one of the best things we bought for camp. We can cook soups, potatoes, meat, fish, whatever we desire in this skillet. Cast iron is like fried foods. It always makes food taste better. Find this Cast Iron Skillet here.
4. Nixon watch. Because my husband only wears Nixon watches. This Nixon Waterproof Watch is sleek and waterproof and I think glass-shatter proof? My husband owns 5 Nixon watches and he just started collecting them 2 years ago, yikes. I keep telling him he doesn’t need anymore watches but there’s always new designs and colors coming out to tempt him!
5. Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver. An electric shaver would be a smart thing to bring to camp because of how easy and convenient it makes it for the men to shave! I hate when Movember comes around and my husband sports his molestache. I am not a fan of facial hair on my husband and love it when he has a clean shaven, smooth face. And saying we’re camping so I don’t need to shave is not a good enough excuse in my book, maybe next time we go camping I’d whip these out and surprise him with it so he has no excuse not to shave!
6. Molle backpack. My husband wears these every day to work and takes it with him when he goes camping or traveling. He loves that there are so many pockets and some are hidden and hard to find which he loves because he feels safe hiding certain items in the “hidden pockets”. I like the look of molle backpacks too, they just look manly and sexy! Click on Molle Backpack to purchase.
7. Disc-O-Bed. Is awesome. We bought ours 3 years ago and it’s one of the best things we ever bought for camping. It is easy to set up, sturdy, and super comfortable! I usually sleep on the bottom with one of my daughters while my other daughter sleeps on top and my husband gets kicked out and sleeps on the floor next to us. We want to get another one so that our whole family will be able to sleep in these comfortable beds. We have the older model but the newer model even changes into a couch! They just launched a Kido Bunk too which is exactly the same but in a smaller version for kids. View the Disc-O-Bed on their site.
Are there any other items that you love to take with you when you go camping? I’d love to know! We want to go camping end of this month and many more times throughout the summer and would love your input. Or do you not like camping? I feel like most women I talk to don’t like to camp. But I personally love it!
Braun Series 7 is the perfect shaver for the dad who has everything! Series 7 is the world’s first shaver with an active head oscillating at over 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute, helping to deliver the closest, most comfortable shave ever. It minimizes skin irritation by cutting hair extraordinarily close in a single stroke – for incredible closeness and comfort.

I love love love camping! My parents got that camp kitchen on clearance several (probably 10) years ago and it is still going strong! It is also as awesome as it looks, they set it up inside a big screen tent with a picnic table and it literally becomes "the kitchen".
I also just saw those cool little bunkbeds this week! SO FUN! I remember having some old school cots for camping that were able to actually bunk and we loved them when we were kids!
Thanks for the great list! I think I'm going to go look at the shaver now! <3

These are awesome gifts! My dad isn't the camping type, but I think my boyfriend would actually love all of this, so I'm going to keep it in mind for his birthday. π Haha, thanks!

Such a fabulous post Sarah! We are big into camping and that kitchen setup would be amazing, truly glamping style!

My only problem with camping is sleeping on the ground. Otherwise I love camping. I love the idea of the Disc – o – bed. It looks much more comfortable than my seriously old lounge chair from the 1980's. You know the one. Fold out the 2 sections so it lay's flat – made of those plastic strips.
My husband would love it too. Hopefully it's long enough so his feet don't hang off the end:)

Sarah says
I am all about glamping! I want the kitchen set too. Thanks for your comment! π
Sarah says
Hi Tamara!
My husband is 6'2" and he loves it because it's tall enough for him and he can sleep straight! haha
Sleeping is the hardest part if you're not comfortable and you wake up the next morning with your back sore! Worst feeling!
Thank you for your comment!

I'm looking for a nice tool set to give to my parents for fathers day. They both like to work in the garage so the gift is really for both of them. Its weird having two mechanics for parents, but then again I'm a little strange too.
