Top 5 Camping Gifts For The Great Outdoors
1) All-Natural Insect Repellent

Keep mosquitoes and other pests at bay with organic insect repellent. It’s non-toxic and made with 15 natural oils like citronella, lemongrass, and castor, along with other natural ingredients to ward off insects without any DEET, parabens, or harsh chemicals. Spray it on before you head outside. It helps soothe bites and stings, too. Made in the USA.
2) Kid’s Wearable Hands Free Fan

This wearable fan for kids keeps them cool on the hottest of days. Hands-free, lightweight, and quietly powerful, it’s the perfect way to enjoy outside time without getting overheated. Its two fans are designed to keep small fingers safe. With a flexible, bendy design, kids can stay breezy at camp, in the yard—and even during power outages.
3) Murphy's Naturals Mosquito Repellent Incense Cones

Ward off pests with natural mosquito repellent incense cones. High concentrations of citronella, cedarwood, rosemary, and other oils naturally combat mosquitoes and smell great too. This formula doesn’t contain any DEET or petroleum and the incense is clean-burning, so you can feel good about using it.
4) Fire Starter Paracord Bracelet

Outdoor Element: Fire Starter Paracord Bracelet - Red - Small
5) Waterproof Cargo Bag - Set of 2

Haul gear safely and keep it dry with a set of built-tough waterproof cargo bags. They are tear-, cut-, and abrasion-resistant and made to fit side by side in a truck bed or on a hitch rack. The lightweight bags can adapt to what you want to carry thanks to an adjustable roll-top opening, and sturdy straps keep them secured. When the moving job is done, these lightweight bags compact into small storage sacks.
