I am not much of an “outdoor” person. Roughing it means the power went off due to a hurricane. Sleeping bags are a novelty item to get the kids to “chill” on the living room floor. But I know for a fact that a few of my readers DO love the outdoors and go camping, hunting, hiking and more. So, I was thrilled when I discovered Coleman, the outdoor company.   And I was even more excited when I discovered there were even items for ME – since I only have to go as far as my backyard to enjoy them. So without a doubt,  Coleman has an array of items that would be perfect for everyone – from low-priced stocking stuffers to “big” items to take on any outdoor excursion. Here are a few favorites that caught my eye!

BIG GIFT IDEA:

Roadtrip Grill LXE – $199 – I feel like that’s a bargain price. Anything with the letters LX or LXE means it’s gotta be good. Don’t believe me, you have to see how this thing folds to a compact size and has easy-roll wheels! Make your own to-go meals with this hot item!

MEDIUM GIFT IDEA:

Roadtrip Beach Shade – $49.99 – My husband, kids and I practically live on the beach from May to October. We also are slathered in sunscreen, wearing protective layers of UV Skinz and have our shades on (I like EyesCreamShades for the boys and SunglassWarehouse.com for us adults). Anyways, something like this Roadtrip Beach Shade would be uber convenient! It has a 57″ center height, 2 zippered doors for a changing room and even sandbags and extra long stakes for those blustery beach days. They thought of everything – for only $49.99!

STOCKING STUFFERS:

Brass Match Box – $3.99 – Keep Matches Dry, even if you’re up the creek without a paddle.

Emergency Candles – $2.99 – Perfect for Santa, in case Rudolph calls in sick.
