If you need to buy a gift this year for an outdoors-loving kid, then it’s worth considering the many great present ideas available for them. More and more families are enjoying the great outdoors both in terms of their holidays and days out in general. Families taking their holidays in the UK have increased massively in the last decade. According to Pitchup.com, camping and caravanning is now 78% more popular than Spain for UK holidaymakers. This means that more kids we know are spending their holidays in a beautiful field in Dorset, rather than on a beach in Alicante.

So what kind of gifts are suitable for the thousands of children enjoying the great British outdoors for their holidays? Anything that doesn’t need batteries is great for camping or days out, a wide variety of which can be found from Ecotronic. Camping accessories such as compasses, ropes, binoculars and ecotronic torches are great for the intrepid camper.

Toys for rainy camping days will be appreciated by mums and dads. Sometimes we forget the simple things in life are often the best, such as colouring books and card games. These rainy days spent sitting in the caravan or tent can become fond memories of playing together as a family with a great travel game.

In a world full of technology, we often forget the delights and enjoyment kids still gain from reading a book A great gift for a kid is a new book that can help release the boredom of long journeys and be a thankful replacement for the television whilst camping.

A wind up torch is a great gift idea as they can be taken anywhere and used without batteries. Companies such as Ecotronic make a great selection of fun and functional torches that are suitable for children of most ages.
