*they’re in no particular order – we LOVE them all – especially 17 & 20….

ONE – Klipsta Hat Clip – Fantastic for travelling, hiking, trips to the beach – what a wonderful gift for a loved one or yourself! Added bonus – these are Australian Made with 6 stylish colours to choose from.

TWO – Eco Sand Free Beach Towels – Australian Made ECO Beach Towels tick all the boxes for us. We tried and tested towel after towel! We wanted to add a sand free, environmentally friendly & compact towel to our range – finally we found one that ticked all our boxes, including our most important box – AUSTRALIAN MADE!

THREE – Dunny Buddy – The Dunny Buddy is the camping item that you never knew you needed! Australian designed and Aussie made, this ingenious invention protects your dunny roll when you are out and about exploring! Camping, Caravanning, Fishing, Hiking…this one’s for you!

FOUR – Alcoholder – insulated tumblers, mugs & stubby coolers. When it comes to insulated tumblers and brilliant stubby coolers that keep your cans and stubbies COLD for hours and your drinks HOT too – Alcoholder has you covered!

We have tried and tested many of these products over the years and Alcoholder are by far a superior quality product & durable. Keeping drinks colder and hotter for much longer than their competitors. Family run in NSW, we LOVE Alcoholder!

FIVE – Caravan and Camper Log Book – The Caravan & Camper LOG BOOK is an A5 2 part book that will help you keep track of the places you stay and the kilometres that your caravan or camper trailer does. Proudly designed & printed in Victoria.

We found we would set up at a park, and then drive around taking in the sights…but then we would lose track of how many km’s our van was doing. For re-sale and servicing, this information can come in very handy.

SIX – Unique Jewellery – We have a selection of quirky, unique and incredibly delicious Australian made earrings from a few of our favourite handmade artists. You can also check out UNIQUE caravan inspired gifts here…

TWENTY Lulu Eye Mask – Like a warm hug for your eyes and mind, this self warming eye mask starts warming up the moment you open it the packet. Lie back, get ready to relax and unfold the mask. When the mask meets the air it begins to warm up, staying at a comforting temperature, so you can drift into a daydream or a deep night’s sleep.
