Hunting for gift ideas to give a friend or family member this holiday season?
Check out this compilation of gift ideas for $30 or less, ideal for the camping and outdoor enthusiast in your life.
1. Flashlight. Its compact size and screaming output place the Princeton Tec Attitude in a class of its own. The smooth, intense, white light of the Attitude is achieved by the unique triangular configuration of three Ultrabright LEDs.
2. Compass. Suunto M-2D Compass features a large liquid filled capsule and adjustable declination correction scale. Another convenient feature is the serrated bezel ring, easy to turn even in cold conditions while wearing gloves. The M-Series is ideally suited to navigating in conditions of poor visibility.
3. First Aid Kit. The Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Day Tripper first-aid kit is organized by injury type (cuts, aches, sprains, etc.) so that you don't waste valuable time in the case of an emergency. Out in the wilderness you can never be too prepared, get the Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Day Tripper and hike with confidence.
4. Water Bottle. Klean Kanteen's most popular size, the 27oz Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Sports Cap is perfect for your on-the-go life. Just one or two fill-ups will keep you hydrated and happy all day.
5. Knife. The Petzl Spatha (Large) is an easy-to-open knife featuring a carabiner hole. It can be attached to a harness or a bag, making it easy to access and difficult to lose.
6. Sporks. The Brunton Lite My Fire Spork (4 pack) (spoon-fork-knife combo) brings a bit of civilization to the wild or a bit of the wild to civilization. The Spork is perfect for boating, camping or use around the office.
7. Dehydrated Food. Settle into camp with Backpacker's Pantry Fettuccini Alfredo or try their Paella with Saffron Rice. A true backcountry delight, you'll begin to wonder if you're in fact "roughing it."
8. Multitool. The Gerber Curve Mini Multi Tool is about function, and it looks pretty stylish too. The Gerber Curve has all the basics for cutting, screwing and opening in a sleek design that can even fit on your key chain.
9. Camelback. The Camelbak OMEGA Reservoir (100 oz.) is excellent for warm summer backpacking and expedition trips. Camelbak recently refined their OMEGA Reservoirs with a HydroTanium polyurethane film that further enhances the integrity of one of the most burst-resistant hydration reservoirs in the industry.
The OMEGA also features a self-sealing silicon Big Bite Valve to give you water when you need it without any extra drips on your pack or fleece jacket.
10. Socks. Whether your hike is a short Saturday morning getaway or a multi-day go-light excursion, the SmartWool Hiking Light Crew socks care for your feet every step of the way. The Hiking Light Crew socks' dedication to foot comfort is further demonstrated by the inclusion of sole area cushioning and a spandex reinforced arch brace that holds the sock in place and supports the foot.

If I were to get a camping gift I'd want to get some more lights and lanterns. It seems like we are always misplacing them. You can't have too many flashlights.
