I am after some ideas on what to get for my mum to give my MIL and FIL for Christmas.

They have recently bought a caravan and so are going on holidays a lot, so I am thinking something they can use then.


I have thought about binoculars, but am not sure.

How about a book like "Exploring Australia by Caravan and Motorhome"? My mum really loves travel books like that.

What are you looking at spending and where abouts do they tend to go in the caravan?

I like the picnic idea
Linen
storage tubs
if you have caves anywhere near you maybe some passes
camping equipment, lanterns, small travel BBQ, fold away table, cooking equipment

I got a subscription to a caravaning magazine last year for my dad which he loves - they have had many holidays based on stuff they have found in them

Aw PBQ, thats nice of your Mum to give your MIL and FIL something for Christmas.

The storage tubs and magazine ideas are good ones if you want a caravan theme.

My MIL loves the thinner but bigger (they can slide under the bed) for her caravan.

Beach Umbrella
BBQ utensils
Cutlery that has its own holder or container.
manual can openers

Things that you would take camping with you, as you dont always have power.

There was a great thread ages ago (maybe even last Christmas) that was asking the same question. The poster got some fantastic replies on what she could buy her parents (I think) for their new campervan.

I can't find the thread though, but maybe someone else can??\

Binoculars sound like a great idea.
