(Not just) for #vanlife devotees

Christmas gift #5: (Not just) for #vanlife devotees

This belt is a good companion not just for van life, but for any other kind of adventure as well. It is easily adjustable, without notches, and keeps the trousers in place – before and after eating by the fire, trekking or simply in everyday life.

For those who feel the cold

Christmas gift #6: For those who feel the cold

The Valais brand Hä? has become known primarily for its crocheted headbands and knit caps. Last winter, the company changed its name and logo to HAE. This beanie keeps the recipient’s ears warm, whether in the city or on the mountain.

A cure for smelly feet

Christmas gift #7: A cure for smelly feet

Instead of saying it outright, give them a gentle hint with Merino socks. Merino clothing has an anti-odour effect – maybe you know someone who could use this. And it’s nice and warm, too.

For coffee lovers

Christmas gift #8: For coffee lovers

Yes, you’ve got it right – coffee from a tube. Simply add hot water and – voilà – the pick-me-up is ready. One tube is enough for about 20 cups, and it doesn’t need to be refrigerated. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who doesn’t want to miss out on their coffee while on the go.

Christmas gift #9: For climbing enthusiasts

A climbing hold is attached to this cup. It’s an ideal Secret Santa or Christmas present for climbing friends. With every sip of coffee or tea, they’ll train their grip – and probably think of you, too, because it’s less comfortable than drinking from a normal cup.
