Dec 22 2017 - 7:50pm

You know that one friend who's always begging you to go camping [1]? Well, I can't force you to pick up a sleeping bag and go with them, but I can suggest a variety of gifts that will make them happy. These are all solid options for the person who loves sleeping under the stars — just take stock of what they already have before you go hog-wild!

The North Face Base Camp Duffel

Who says bags need to be boring? The North Face Base Camp Duffel [3] ($128-$160) is colorful and incredibly spacious.

Patagonia Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket

You know who would be jealous of this amazing Patagonia Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket [4] ($199)? Your dad, circa 1975.

Coleman Sundome 3-Person Camping Tent

The Coleman Sundome 3-Person Camping Tent [5] ($60) can easily fit three people . . . or two people and a bunch of cool camping accessories.

Coleman 6-Person WeatherTec Tent in Tan

Then again, if your friend often hosts large camping trips, the Coleman 6-Person WeatherTec Tent in Tan [6] ($200) may be the way to go.

Therm-a Sleeping Pad

If the ground is rocky, a Therm-a Sleeping Pad [7] ($55, originally $100) would be a good investment.

Brooks Sleeping Bag

Sleeping bags come in all shapes, size, and price points, but the Brooks Sleeping Bag [8] ($260) is top of the line.

Baffin Cush Booty Slippers

Those with perpetually cold feet will appreciate a pair of Baffin Cush Booty Slippers [9] ($36), which can be worn inside a sleeping bag for extra warmth.

L.L. Bean Cotton Ragg Camp Socks

Of course, your friend will need some soft, fuzzy socks as a first line of defense against the chilly nights. Try a two-pack of the L.L. Bean Cotton Ragg Camp Socks [10] ($15, originally $20).

Columbia PNW Reversatility Vest

Nothing says "camping" quite like some classic plaid! The Columbia PNW Reversatility Vest [11] ($99) is functional and stylish.

Braven BRV Power Bank

Nature is great and all, but if your friend has a panic attack just thinking about completely unplugging, you may want to gift them a Braven BRV Power Bank [12] ($84, originally $130).

MSR Folding Utensils

What, like you want to eat fire-scrambled eggs with your hands? Pick up some MSR Folding Utensils [13] ($3), you heathen.

Petzl TacTikka Plus RGB Headlamp

Because nightfall always comes faster than you imagine, throw a Petzl TacTikka Plus RGB Headlamp [14] ($55) in as a stocking stuffer.

Snow Peak Tableware Set

This Snow Peak Tableware Set [15] ($100) is sleek and space-saving.

Columbia PNW Teton Trail II Skinny Cargo Pants

The trails can get cold when you're hiking back to your campsite! Pick up a pair of Columbia PNW Teton Trail II Skinny Cargo Pants [16] ($52) to stay warm.

Rumpl The Down Puffy 2

Because they can't just haul all the blankets from their couch into their tent (so many pine needles), give the gift of a Rumpl The Down Puffy 2 [17] ($299).

Stanley Adventure SS Flask

Because water isn't your only beverage of choice for a night in the woods, grab a Stanley Adventure SS Flask [18] ($20).

Klean Kanteen 32oz. Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle

OK, but you do need to stay hydrated. The Klean Kanteen 32oz. Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle [19] ($37) is an eco-friendly choice you can feel good about.

The North Face Cyclone 2 Hooded Jacket

While you wouldn't want to get stuck in an actual cyclone in the The North Face Cyclone 2 Hooded Jacket [20] ($65), it's still pretty durable.

Snow Peak Kettle Cooker No.1

Nobody wants to eat trail mix for every meal. Give your pal a lightweight Snow Peak Kettle Cooker No.1 [21] ($20) to cook up some dinner.

The SolarPuff Collapsible Light [25] ($30) is cute enough for your actual bedroom, but it comes in handy on a camping trip, too.
