Coming up with the perfect gift for someone can be challenging. It helps to think about what you know about them and try to find something that fits their interests. Luckily, knowing someone is an RVer can make gift giving a lot easier. We have a list of 10 gift ideas to get you thinking about the perfect gift for the RVer in your life this holiday season.
One important thing to keep in mind is if the person is a full-time RVer or likes to take the occasional trip. If you’re buying for someone who lives in their RV, you need to remember that they’re working with limited space. Large items aren’t likely to be a big hit unless you know it’s something they really need, want, and have space for.
1. National Park Pass or State Park Pass
RVing opens the door to enjoy incredible trips to so many State and National Parks. If you have a new RVer in your life or you know that they don’t already have this, buying them a pass is something they can continue to enjoy for the entire year. It takes up no additional space in their RV and is something that they’ll appreciate every time they don’t have to pay to enter.
2. RV travel mat
If you know they have room for it, an RV travel mat is a great gift that allows them to spruce up their outdoor space wherever they go. And not only will it be pleasing to the eye but it serves a practical purpose on rainy or muddy days. Make sure you look for one that is mold and mildew resistant and has stakes to stop it from flying away.
3. Travel book
There are tons of travel books on the market that can help the RVer in your life find fun destinations to explore. This is a gift you can personalize by choosing a book that fits the interests of the individual. Do they love to travel the country? Get them a book with destinations across the United States. Do they love to stick on the Central Coast? Buy them a book that will help them find new places to discover in the places they enjoy traveling most.
If you’re buying for a full-time RVer, consider gifting them an ebook so the gift doesn’t take up precious storage space in their home.
4. Small handheld vacuum
It’s hard not to track dirt into an RV. Having a small vacuum for quick cleanups can be really helpful. If the RVer doesn’t already have something like this, it’s a gift they will appreciate every time they travel.
5. Give them an experience
RVers love creating memories and having experiences and many appreciate these types of gifts over physical items. This will look different based on the person and their interests, but here are some ideas:
- Photography class
- Skydiving, white water rafting, hot air ballooning, or other adventure activity
- Theme park tickets
- Spa day
- City scavenger hunt
- Stadium tour
- Classic car rental
- Round of golf
6. ClassPass
ClassPass credits allow users to create a fitness routine and wellness plan that works for them. They gain access to studios, gyms, spas, and salons around the country. They can use their credits towards appointments or to join a class. If the RVer in your life enjoys exercise or could use encouragement to practice self-care, this can make a great gift.
7. Harvest Host Membership
Harvest Host provides RVers a chance to stay overnight at places like farms, wineries, breweries, and more. When you have a membership, you don’t have to pay fees for staying overnight. That makes this a great gift for RV owners. It will provide them with the ability to have new experiences and save money all throughout the year. There are locations all throughout the country.
8. Portable games
There are game sets like badminton and volleyball that are easy to break down and don’t take up a lot of room. If you’re buying a gift for an RVing family, this is a great option. It gives them an extra activity to do around the campsite when they’re on the road. If you’re purchasing a game with rackets, make sure you buy extras if needed so everyone in the family can play together.
9. Noise-canceling wireless headphones
These are a great gift option for solo travelers and those RVing with others. You never know how loud your neighbors might be when staying in a campground. If you get noisy neighbors, noise-canceling headphones can save the day (or night). RVers traveling with others, including children, may have a hard time finding the space they need to enjoy a few quiet moments. These headphones can help them find that even if they still have others around them.
10. Amazon gift cards
Everyone can find something they want or need on Amazon. When buying for an RVer who has limited space sometimes the best thing you can do is buy them a gift card that lets them use it in the way that works the best for them. They can use it for audiobooks, ebooks, travel essentials, clothing, or whatever else they need or want. If you don’t want to give them an Amazon gift card, buy a gift card for a store or restaurant they enjoy.
