1. America The Beautiful Annual Park Pass

Every RVer and camper in your life needs an Annual Park Pass. This mighty card is good for one year and allows access to more than 2,000 sites. It covers entrance fees at National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges, as well as standard amenity fees (day use) at National Forests, National Grasslands, and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineers. $80 for this pass is a no brainer for anyone who likes to visit 2 or more National Parks a year.

This little lantern is perfect for an RVer because it is small, compact and solar powered. It can be charged on the dashboard while driving or can be clipped onto a backpack while hiking. We use it on nights when we are trying to conserve on energy in the Airstream and need light inside.

We used to have some really large clunky camp chairs that were only used twice the 3 years we owned them. We saw these on an Instagram ad (yeah, one of those) and crossed our fingers when we purchased them! After using them consistently for almost a year now we can say that they are TRULY the best camp chairs around. They are so small, compact and lightweight that we use them almost everyday. They are so lightweight that I've even stuck one in my pack on fishing hikes! I can sit and read a book while Tanner fishes, or we can sit together and enjoy the sunset views.

4. National Parks Passport Book

One of the things I look forward to the most when visiting a new National Park is "cancelling" it out with a stamp on our Passport books. These National Park Passport books are a perfect gift for any minimalist RVer who enjoys visiting National Parks and wants to commemorate the time spent there without having to buy a physical souvenir!

5. Anker Portable Power Bank

This portable power bank lives in my hiking pack. It is so small and lightweight that I can take it with me on hikes and never have to worry about my phone dying. I use my phone to take photos so it's important to keep my phone charged at all times. It'd make a great gift for the RVer who is also into tech!

6. SensorPush Wireless Thermometer/Hygrometer

This little square doesn't look like much but we feel like it is a necessity in RVs. It allows us to track the temperature and humidity of the Airstream. Because an increase in humidity can be damaging to RVs it's important to keep an eye on it. The program works with an app, so the RVer in your life will be able to check temperature or humidity all on their phone.

7. SanDisk Solid State Drive

I bought this AFTER I dropped my external hard drive and lost precious video and photo from our time in Wyoming and Montana. Though a bit pricey, this solid state drive will give the RVer in your life peace of mind knowing their special adventures are stored safely. (Please note, I would always back up any photos/videos onto multiple devices or the cloud. Learn from my mistake.)

8. SimpleHuman Soap Dispenser

Okay, so this isn't the coolest thing on this list but it truly is helpful! We have used this in our Airstream for almost 4 years now and love it. Because it is refillable, it allows our shower floor to remain clutter free from shampoo and conditioner bottles. Space is so limited in RV showers that this item really does allow for more space.

9. Turkish Towels

Another item that I believe has made a world of a difference as an RVer is our Turkish towels. We used to have normal cotton towels in the RV but they took up so much space and took a very long time to dry. I switched us over to Turkish towels and we will never look back! They are lightweight, very quick to dry and it doesn't hurt that they are also beautiful! We have even taken them with us on hikes and to the beach. They can also be used as a blanket, a beach rug or a swimsuit cover up.

10. AllStays Camp & RV App

The AllStays Camp & RV app is a must for every RVer and camper in your life. We use this app often to help us find places to park overnight, dump stations and to check for low bridge clearances. Gifting this app will make any RVer in your life a happy camper!

11. Midland Two Way Radios

Radios are an RVers best friend. Seriously. We use these to communicate when parking the RV, to check our Airstream taillights before leaving a spot and even if one of us has ran ahead to scope out a potential boondocking site. We keep them in the console of our truck charging, so they are always ready and available for when we need them. They make life so much easier than trying to yell to your partner over the noise of a loud truck engine.

12. A Beginner's Guide to Living in an RV: Everything I Wish I Knew Before Full-Time RVing Across America by Alyssa Padgett

Heath and Alyssa Padgett are one of my favorite full-time RV couples out there. They are knowledgeable, kind and driven. Alyssa wrote this beginners guide to RVing in 2018 and I purchased it as soon as it was released. We were already living in our Airstream but I still got some good nuggets of information out of this book and I enjoyed it so much! I highly recommend this to any RVer out there, beginner or seasoned. Alyssa also updated it this year as well.

13. Audible Membership

An Audible membership is wonderful gift that checks off the boxes for your RVer who is minimalist but also loves to read! All those miles of driving won't seem so long while listening to a new, good book!

14. REI Gift Card

RVers can ALWAYS, ALWAYS use an REI Gift Card. Trust us, even though we are minimalist, there seems to always be something on our list that we need from REI. Whether its new wool socks, a Patagonia hiking shirt or a Black Diamond headlamp, an REI Gift Card can let your RVer choose the items they truly need.

15. Give on their behalf

Did you read through the list but nothing really caught your eye? This last suggestion is a very special way of gifting something to your RV friend. Choose an organization that your RVer is passionate about and give a donation in their name. It is a thoughtful way to say you care and also a way to give back during this holiday season.

I hope this list gave you some unique ideas to gift the RVer in your life something special this holiday season!
