For campers who also like good food, I love some of the options from Patagonia Provisions, especially the salmon. Great stocking stuffers! (Fun fact: Patagonia Provisions and Yardzen both have their offices in Sausalito!)

As an avid gardener, I've been dreaming of a high-quality compost system. My top choice: the Jora Compost Tumblers, which devotees describe as odorless, efficient, high-capacity, and easy to use! Plus, it's the most attractive tumbler out there—I love the green color!

My wife and I spend a lot of time in our garden with our five chickens. To help with all of our watering chores, I want pretty much everything Eley makes. At the top of my list would be their 3-piece spray nozzle set. It's on the pricier side, but the build quality, 10-year warranty, and spray pattern make this tool worth the up-front cost.

This is what I'm buying myself for Christmas...to camp from anywhere in my Subaru. The Luno Air Mattress saves on the hassle of packing a tent and is easy for road trips—wake up and go!

Recently, I have loved sitting by our outdoor fire pit sipping on Remrise’s hot chocolate sleep powder. It’s a sweet nighttime treat to enjoy as I wind down for the night!

The Coleman Brew Insulated Stainless Steel Tumbler is an insulated cup for cold beverages: sweat-free design, spill-proof, integrated bottle opener on the bottom. Keeps drinks cold all day long! I have tried just about every travel cup, and this is by far my favorite.
