Good Sam’s 2024 Holiday Gift Guide

The holidays are upon us, and let’s face it—unless you’ve been blessed with the gift of gift-giving, finding the perfect present for the outdoorsy adventurer in your life can feel a little daunting. But don’t worry! We went ahead and did a little legwork to find the perfect gifts for anyone looking to hit the open road in 2025.

Gifts under $50.

Milk and eggs are expensive right now, so a lot of us are having to practice a little more stewardship with our discretionary spending. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find a great gift on a budget. Here are some of our favorite (and slightly more economical) holiday presents. 

Road Trip Games Deck

Price: $24.95

Boredom (on even the longest of road trips) stands no chance with this timeless homage to the games we played growing up. With a box full of classics such as “Never Have I Ever,” “I Spy,” and more, everyone will have a great time – even if you’re driving through terrible cell reception.

Lego Holiday Camper Van

Price: $19.99

Let’s not bury the lead, because this might just be the best gift on this list. A camper van made out of Legos? And for only $20? Get it for your kids. Get it for yourself. Shoot, get it for me.

Good & Well National Park Candle

Price: $26

Have you ever wanted to capture the scent of the Smokies? Maybe get a waft of Yellowstone rolling through the living room? Oh buddy, have I got some good news for you. The talented folks over at Good & Well Supply Co. were able to somehow candle-ize (I said what I said) the smells of your favorite national parks. I personally love the juxtaposition of a Hawaiian volcano on a cold winter’s night.

Emergency Roadside Safety Kit

Price: $7.97

My wife has a great rule around gifting: Give something they love or something they need – and this roadside safety kit from AutoBasics definitely suits the latter. There’s no better stocking stuffer than one that says “I care about your well-being while you’re on the side of the road replacing a flat tire.” 

Goal Zero LED Light

Price: $39.95

This might just be the handiest light you’ll ever find. With 350 lumens, a built-in carabiner, magnets, and the ability to chain up to seven additional lights, this LED lantern is perfect for any campsite.

Darn Tough Vermont Socks

Price: Variously priced, but several options between $19 and $29.

Two things you need to know about me: I love a great pun and I love great socks. These Darn Tough Vermont Socks are elite examples of both. With socks for hiking, running, dressing up, lounging, and pretty much any other reason you’d need a sock, this is a universally great gift.

Wildsam Field Guides

Price: $20 to $24

From looking great on your coffee table to serving as your emotional compass around the country, these Wildsam Field Guides are the perfect companion for your next adventure or even your next daydream leading up to it.

P.F. Candle Co. Car Fragrance

Price: $19

As you can see, we’re all about good smells and good vibes this year, and these car fragrances from P.F. Candle Co. can make a morning commute feel like a jaunt through the mountains. You might be sitting in traffic, but thanks to these your nose will be sitting in fields of sage, moss, and lavender.

Autio Road Trip App

Price: $36/year or $149.97 for a lifetime subscription.

Have you ever driven past some sort of roadside attraction or oddity and thought to yourself, “There’s a story, there.”? Well, thanks to a subscription from Autio, you can finally know what it is. With thousands of curated stories narrated by iconic voices including Kevin Costner, John Lithgow, Phil Jackson, and more it pairs nicely with wherever you’re headed. 

Gifts under $100. 

Maybe you’ve been saving up to get something special for your Secret Santa this year, or you just remembered you have a crisp Benjamin burning a hole in your wallet. Either way, we’ve got you covered.

Kammock Roo Double Hammock

Price: $84.95

This double hammock from Kammock Roo is as comfortable as it is made from recycled material – which is 100%. I’m no mathematician, but those numbers sound great. Also fun fact: Their website says the hammock can hold up to 500 lbs or the weight of four kangaroos – Which is something I never knew I wanted to quantify until now.

Alps Mountaineering King Kong Camp Chair

Price: $79.99

There are camp chairs and then there are 2024 GearLab Editor’s Choice camp chairs named after larger-than-life primates. As a sturdy, quilted 600D polyester piece of equipment capable of withstanding 800 lbs, this chair might actually be able to seat King Kong.

Solo Stove Campfire

Price: $79.99

If you’ve listened to even one podcast in the last year, chances are you’ve heard an ad for Solo Stove at least 1,200 times. But also, for good reason – These things are awesome. They’re efficient, low in smoke, long-lasting, and portable – making them ideal for your next camping trip.

Pendleton Camp Enamelware Dishes

Price: $52.12

A full lightweight dining set that’s equally durable and aesthetic, these dishes from Pendleton look great and work great from your kitchen table to a picnic table. Not to mention, they’re heat-resistant and dishwasher-safe – so even I can’t ruin them (which is saying something because I’ve destroyed my fair share of kitchenware in the past).

Nocs Provisions Standard Issue Binoculars

Price: $95

These 8×24 waterproof binoculars are bright, fun, and compatible with glasses. Plus they’re very travel-friendly and trendy, so you can take your birdwatching to the next level and look really cool while doing it.

GSI Outdoors Rakau Knife Set

Price: $79.95

A campsite dinner doesn’t have to be a downgrade when you have gourmet knives like these. This sustainably sourced 3-piece kit of stainless steel comes complete with a paring knife, santoku knife, serrated bread knife, bamboo cutting board, dish cloth, knife sharpener, case, and (I imagine) the swagger of a Michelin Star chef.

Nest Pour Over Coffee Kit

Price: $75

Easily another item I will end up buying for myself, this pour-over coffee kit from VSSL allows you to make a quality cup of coffee anywhere. Ruggedly sustainable, the Nest comes with a holistic brewing system, a dripper, two 10oz mugs, and more – providing a richer cup no matter how remote your adventures take you.

Teva ReEmber Terrain

Price: $90

This might be the most comfortable and outdoor-friendly slip-on shoe I’ve ever seen, and the fact that it was built with recycled materials makes you feel a little warmer inside. They also come in an eclectic mix of colors so there’s bound to be one to match the personality of whoever you’re shopping for.

Rumpl Orginal Puffy Blanket

Price: $74.25

From the beach to the snow, these insulated, weather-resistant blankets are 100% made from recycled plastic bottles and can handle wherever you decide to set up camp. Also, they come with the coolest designs. I’m eyeing the Alpenglow or Baja Fade, myself.

Annual Parks Pass

Price: $79.99

Imagine giving someone the Rocky Mountains. Or the Tetons. Or the Grand Canyon. Or…well, I think you get the idea. The point is, you pretty much can with an America the Beautiful Pass. Honored by the Forest Service, National Park Service, and more, this pass is your ticket to see some of the most beautiful views our country has to offer.

Gifts under $200.

Michael Scott once said that presents are the best to say, “Hey, man, I love you this many dollars worth” – BUT WE SAY it’s still the thought that counts. That being said, if you have a bit more budget to throw around this year, here are some higher-dollar gift ideas to get the ball rolling.

YETI 35 Carryall Tote Bag

Price: $150

These tote bags are trendy, durable, and capable of carrying up to 1,500 lbs of static weight. Now, I can think of a scenario where you would even need them to be that strong, but it’s definitely a flex (pun intended). And it’s YETI, so you know it’ll be loved.

Coleman Camping Stove

Price: $100

A camping stove from Coleman is portable, easy to clean, and just the right size for your campsite kitchen. This thing will get the job done without taking up a ton of space in your vehicle.

Retrospec Inflatable Paddle Board

Price: $199.99

Who needs a rental when you have an inflatable 10’ stand-up paddleboard that fits in a backpack? These Weekender boards from Retrospec are pretty great. But don’t just take my word for it – they’re highly reviewed and have been featured in Forbes, Parade, and Men’s Journal. Sounds like they definitely “hold water.” Okay, last dad joke of the article. Probably.

Oniva Portable Picnic Table

Price: $124.13

No picnic table for miles? No problem. This lightweight, portable table from Oniva is easy to set up and can withstand 250 lbs. It even comes with a hole to add an umbrella to shade you from the sun or make you feel like you’re in a charming bistro in the middle of nowhere.

Helinox Sunset Chair

Price: $169.95

These days we could all use a little extra support (especially my back), and this chair from Helinox provides just that. Sitting high off the ground and easily foldable, this might just be the camping chair of the future.

Smart Mini Projector

Price: $109.90

Turn any campsite into a movie theater with this nifty 4k projector. Imagine watching Dune at Sand Dunes National Park, or Free Solo with Yosemite as your backdrop. Okay, that might actually be a little intense. But still, watching a movie under the stars sounds magical.

Gifts over $200.

First of all, good on you. May your family and friends sing songs of your generosity for years to come. Secondly, we still believe in stretching your dollar for all it’s worth and have a few great ideas without breaking the bank.

Bluetti Portable Power Station

Price: Variously priced between $479 and $1,599.

Whether you’re looking for a little extra juice while you’re camping or just need a reliable backup when the power goes out, these Bluetti power stations are fantastic. Obviously, the prices fluctuate depending on the capacity of the model, but even your more conservative power stations – and that’s watt I’m talking about. Sorry, I already broke my promise about the dad jokes.

Turtlebox Gen 2 Speaker

Price: $399

Waterproof, drop-proof, and good to go for the whole day, these Turtlebox speakers are basically a portable party for your next outdoor adventure. One review even said “Best speaker on earth,” and with a 4.88 overall rating, I don’t think they’re being hyperbolic.

Dometic Electric Cooler

Price: $799.99

Dometic’s electric coolers can hold up to 40 cans, comfortably fit in your backseat, and save you from the hassle of having to lug around ice. You can set them up and control the temperature from your phone, and blow your dad’s mind with just how far we’ve come from the styrofoam coolers of his youth. 

MoonShade Awning

Price: $395

Any vehicle can be a “pop-up” with the right attitude…and with one of these sweet canopies from Moonshade. They’re only 8 lbs and easy to store, all while providing 9’x7’ of coverage. This will definitely take your picnic to the next level. 

Nomad Grill & Smoker

Price: $590

If there’s one thing my life is lacking, it’s a grill that fits in a suitcase. You heard me correctly, and these on-the-go charcoal grill and smokers from Nomad are as cool as they are portable (which is very). 

Garmin Navigator

Price: $899.99

Everyone feels lost every now and then (some days more than others), but that’s not a problem thanks to an RV GPS Navigator from Garmin. This 10” display easily fits on any dashboard and comes preloaded with plenty of directories, Tripadvisor ratings, and satellite imagery – making sure you get where you need to go.

Give some peace of mind.

Drive with confidence knowing that you’re covered no matter what the road throws at you with a Roadside Assistance plan from Good Sam. Offering flat tire changes, emergency fuel deliveries, towing, jumpstarts, and more, they’ll keep you moving.
