With the festive season nearly upon us, you might be struggling to think of a great present for the motorhome owners in your life.
Well, thanks to us you don’t have to!
Space comes at a premium for those who spend their days and nights away from home and you’ll want to get them something to help make life on the road even more enjoyable.
We’ve chosen our top tips for the best pressies for your favourite adventurers. Whether you want practical, cosy or fun, there’s something on our list to suit you and your budget. Here are our Christmas present picks…
For the daydreamers…

This beautiful hardback planner, with inspirational photography, handy travel tips and space for vital personal information will help your loved ones plan their adventures for the year ahead and stay organised. It’s the perfect present for anyone with big ideas and the ideal companion for any aspiring travel writers. Feeling extra generous? You could pair it with Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2017 with its predictions of the brightest and best destinations to help get their minds flowing.
The newbies…
Is there a new motorhome owner in your life? Then Sat Nav is a must! Perhaps your parents have finally retired and bought the motorhome of their dreams? The TomTom Start with European Maps and Lifetime Map Updates will keep your loved ones on track and problem free on their travels for years to come. Exploring will be a breeze and no one need ever argue about who turned the map upside down again!
The tech lovers…
Want to help them keep connected? With a Fire tablet from Amazon, your travelling buddies can stream or download a huge selection of films and series from Netflix, Prime and more – perfect for those unexpected rainy days. With front and back facing cameras, unlimited Amazon cloud storage and seven hours battery life it’s also the perfect device to capture and store precious memories of their travels. With millions of songs, films, TV shows, books, apps and games they’ll never be short of entertainment. And if they’ve got kids? They’ll be forever grateful for the boredom buster!
The adrenaline junkies…
Off to the Lake District for Beatrix Potter and afternoon teas? Not quite! Are the motorhome owners you have in mind more ghyll scrambling than slipper-wearing? Then they’ll love a GoPro Full HD action camera to capture the action and adrenaline of their adventures. With a GoPro camera they can create fast and fun mementos of their escapades in amazing high quality, and maybe even keep the world updated with their very own travel blog. Small, lightweight, durable and waterproof – if they can do it, they can film it!
The family…
Holidays are all about ditching the stresses of modern day living and having fun, but if your loved ones struggle to prise the kids away from their screens then we’ve got just the thing. Randomise is a silly and surreal game for all the family will have them showing off their acting, drawing and descriptive talents to try and help their team guess just what on earth they’re doing. This hilarious and, well, random game will have the whole family roaring with laughter as the kids see dad transform into a hungry Viking having a bubble bath! Take it from us, this game is a hit!
Those who appreciate the little things…
Heard of hygge? It’s the Danish way of life that’s teaching us all how to relax and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. The Year of Living Danishly is one woman’s tale of swapping the stresses of city life for something markedly more simple. Journalist Helen Russell’s account of giving up her London life for one a lot more Danish is a funny and frank insight into the ups and downs of giving life in a unfamiliar place a go – something we think will resonate with those who’ve chosen motorhome adventures for theirs! Whether it’s curling up with a good book, cosy new socks or watching the sun set, hygge is all about pausing to enjoy the moment and Russell explores what we can all learn from it. We think those who live the motorhome life will love it – what could be more hygge than embracing nature and the open road? It seems they’ve held the secret all along!
The furry friends…
As winter approaches, why not treat the pups in your loved ones’ lives to a little extra comfort for their travels. Dogs can explore too you know, and many motorhome owners share their adventures with their beloved pooch. Why not help them celebrate the season in style with a seriously cute snowman jumper from Pets at Home. Or for an extra special treat a new sanctuary for sleep with a soft and snuggly dog bed. Your friends will certainly thank you if it keeps them off theirs!
