Nakie’s Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide for Campers and Outdoor Adventurers

Some people are easy to shop for. Then there are campers and outdoor adventurers. They already have their favourite boots, their favourite mug, their favourite way of tying a tarp line. So finding a Christmas gift they’ll genuinely appreciate can feel impossible.

But the good news is Nakie makes Christmas gifting easy. Everything is practical, hella good-looking, planet friendly and built to last. If you want to wrap something this year that gets used for real, here’s our Christmas gift guide to pressies that will actually make it out of the box and into the wild.

1. Hammock

A hammock is one of those gifts people don’t buy for themselves but secretly want. Nakie’s hammock is made from 37 recycled plastic bottles, supports up to 225 kg, and packs down into a small pouch. It clips up fast with no knots and turns any campsite into a calm place to nap, read or escape the group chat for a few minutes. It works at the beach, in the backyard or between trees on a road trip. It is comfortable, lightweight and actually useful.

2. Sand Free Towel

A sand free towel is one of the great modern inventions. Nakie’s version is 15 percent larger than a standard towel, dries fast, shakes completely sand free and folds into a small neoprene bag. It is made from 86 percent recycled plastic, holds up to a litre of water and feels soft without being heavy. It’s the ideal Christmas gift for beach campers, swimmers, travellers and anyone who has ever carried a wet towel through a car park and questioned every life choice.

3. Puffy Blanket

This is the gift for the friend who is always cold or the one who loves sitting outside long after the sun goes down. Nakie’s puffy blanket is warm, soft, and made from recycled bottles. It works at the campsite, around the fire, on road trips and even at home on the couch as you dig into leftovers. It folds into its own compact bag and is surprisingly light, which makes it perfect for anyone who likes comfort without carrying half their house around.

4. Kids Hooded Towel

For parents, this is a gift that solves more problems than it creates. Nakie’s kids hooded towels are warm, soft and sand-free. They slip on easily, stay on, and dry quickly. They are perfect for beach days, camping trips, post backyard water fights and any moment when a towel usually ends up on the ground. Available in three sizes, they fold into a compact bag and come in fun prints that kids will be stoked to wear. It’s a practical gift disguised as a fun one.

5. Picnic Blanket

A picnic blanket is the unsung MVP of outdoor gear. Nakie’s version is 2m by 2m, waterproof underneath, soft on top and machine washable. It has peg loops for windy days and a zip pocket for keys. It is made from 56 recycled plastic bottles and folds into its own attached bag with bottle opener straps. This one’s for families, campers, beachgoers, festival people, dog owners and anyone who likes sitting on something other than dirt.

6. Rain Tarp & Bug Net 

Summer camping comes with two guarantees: surprise rain and mozzies. A rain tarp keeps gear dry, blocks harsh sun and makes any hammock setup weather-ready, thanks to its waterproof recycled polyester, 3000 mm coating and heat taped seams. It packs down small and includes guy lines, a ridge line and aluminium pegs, so it is always ready when the weather turns. Pair it with Nakie’s recycled bug net, made from fine polyester micro mesh that keeps even tiny insects out while still letting air flow. It fits securely over any Nakie hammock, weighs only 410g and turns hot nights into relaxed, bite free ones. Together, they are a simple gift that makes a huge difference on any summer trip.

7. Foldable Backpack

A lightweight travelling backpack that folds into itself is a smart gift for travellers, hikers and parents who carry more than they ever planned to. Nakie’s recycled foldable backpack is comfortable and surprisingly roomy. It’s perfect for day hikes, beach trips, markets, airport days and long walks between campsites. It holds towels, snacks, clothes and everything else that somehow ends up in your hands. It is one of those bags that becomes a go everywhere staple.

8. Tote Bag

A strong tote bag is always (and we mean always) useful. Nakie’s tote bag is durable, water resistant and designed to hold all the bits and bobs that don’t fit in a backpack. Think towels, snacks, sunscreen, jackets and the occasional last-minute present you remembered on the way. It’s ideal for campers who like to stay organised, beach lovers who carry half the beach home and anyone who prefers simple, hardworking gear.

Still not sure what to get? A Nakie Gift Card is an easy win. Let them choose the gear they actually want, and you’ll still get credit for a great present.
