The festive season is approaching and you’re not sure what to give for Christmas? Discover our 10 Christmas gift ideas for motorhome travelers! Whether it’s for your partner, a family member or a friend, the CaraMaps team has the best gift ideas for you!
Portable power bank 🔌
Extremely practical when you’re on the move for long hours, the external battery allows you to recharge smartphones, tablets and even laptops without a power outlet! Practical if you want to stay in touch at all times!
A dashcam 📹
Admittedly, it’s not the most festive gift there is, but it’s a very useful one! The dashcam mounts on the dashboard and films the journey from the driver’s point of view. In the event of an accident, the footage gathered could be very useful! The dashcam can also be used simply to record landscapes.
An e-reader 📖
It’s not easy to carry all your favorite books in your motorhome or van. For reasons of space and weight (and yes, books do weigh!), it might be worth buying a reading light. And don’t worry: unlike smartphones, e-reader screens are designed not to damage the eyes! (A great argument if the person you’re giving it to is reluctant…)
A bluetooth speaker 🎵
This is the must-have accessory if you like to listen to music or the radio on motorhome trips! Prefer a small model like the one below, which is waterproof and dustproof, so you don’t have to take up too much space!
An electric lighter 🔥
Here’s an object that can prove useful or even indispensable for a traveler in a van or motorhome in the event of an unforeseen situation! Several models are available, and these recharge by being plugged into an electrical source.
A portable grill 🍖
It’s a SACRED item for the van and motorhome travel community! Indeed, camping inevitably rhymes with grill! And since grills aren’t always available at campsites or service areas, why not have one with you, all the time? Several models and sizes are available to suit budgets and vehicle space.
A recipe book for cooking in your motorhome 🍛
It’s possible to cook great meals while traveling in your motorhome! For all nomadic travelers who love to cook, a recipe book is always a good idea!
A special camper mug ☕️
If the person you want to spoil loves coffee (or tea) and is passionate about motorhome travel, then this mug will be the perfect gift!
Board games 🎲
Here’s an interesting idea for those traveling with the family or those who like to kill time in their motorhome when the weather’s bad! You’ll be spoilt for choice. Here are two examples of travel-themed games that will appeal to young and old alike!
