Gift for camper van people

[Simpo Two]

Over Christmas my cousin and b/f are taking 7 weeks off to go to Spain in a camper van.

I need to get them a Christmas present... other than a mobile launderette, what sort of Christmas presents do camper van people like?

[MOMACC]

Good coffee

Ridge Monkey

Collapsible bonfire - mesh ones on Amazon are very good.

Dryrobes

Massage gun

Upside down pineapple stickers

I'd give them Euros and tell them to put it towards a good meal out

[RGG]

A hotel voucher?

[moorx]

Good torches or camping lanterns

A nice warm fleece blanket

[Caddyshack]

A good charge pack (to charge phones) - maybe a solar one. Or just a good quality one for cigarette lighter charging.

My wife got me a rechargeable coffee. (Espresso) maker.

Torch is a good shout (above). You can get lantern battery packs

Nice bottle opener

Heinie Haynes website has some great stuff

Lots of great ideas there, thanks all. Tomorrow - Amazon!

iBeani Quishion. Excellent things.

Slippers so they don't stub their toes in the campervan at night.

A decent LED headtorch each, one with 2-3 brightness settings and maybe a red light option.

Reading, cooking dinner, etc. having hands free is really really useful.

edit - I have an older version of the Petzl Tikka, https://www.amazon.co.uk/PETZL-Tikka%C2%AE-Frontal...

yep my first thought too,

a packet of Bog roll
domestos
washing up liquid
a list of places where you can have a shower for a small fee
a list of cheap B+B near their route
cash for fuel.
cash for campsites
more hotel vouchers

Yes, they will have present/s for me so I need to reciprocate. I don't have any other family.

My other challenge is something for four children I don't know very well aged 1 - 11...!

[Quickmoose]

Crocs or similar
A bit poncy, but solar charged multi purpose string lights... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Auraglow-Outdoor-String-L...

Isn't that a motor home rather than a camper van?

[Simpo Two]

I think it's probably more motorhome than rusty VW bus; they're not skint students so will have all the basics and no doubt more. Did like the idea of giving them a bog roll each though!

I've gone for a foldy-up BBQ and a torch/lantern. I've also got the kids sorted out (thank you Amazon!) so I'm all tooled up for Sunday!

Didn’t know there was a difference. I guess one could be a very small van you can sleep in and the other is larger stuff?

I think they have to use caravans towed by an uninsured white transit
