There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Outdoor Living” Gifts

1) Bug Potion Balm
Dr. Doug's Balms: Bug Potion Balm - Original - 2 oz

2) Stainless Steel Smoker Box
You don’t need an expensive smoker to get all that flavor in your grilled meats. Just fill this heavy-duty, smoker box with wood chips and place it over the flames. The chips release smoke through the holes and infuse the great taste of real smoked barbecue—no matter what kind of grill you cook on.

3) Murphy's Naturals Mosquito Repellent Incense Cones
Ward off pests with natural mosquito repellent incense cones. High concentrations of citronella, cedarwood, rosemary, and other oils naturally combat mosquitoes and smell great too. This formula doesn’t contain any DEET or petroleum and the incense is clean-burning, so you can feel good about using it.

4) Pain Relief Balm
Treat skin to a double dose of relief. This all-natural recovery balm is Made in the USA and shares the same moisturizing base as Dr. Doug’s Miracle balm (thank you, organic olive and coconut oil and beeswax), with added arnica and magnesium to help quell soreness and stiffness. Opt for the extra magnesium-rich balm that can be used to help ease nerve pain and help improve skin elasticity.

5) All-Natural Firestarters
These all-natural firestarters get flames going quickly and easily, without using any accelerants or kerosene. Stokes uses just three ingredients—sawdust, paraffin wax, and recycled egg cartons—and that’s all. Light one under charcoal or wood to start a fire in the fireplace, on the grill, or in a wood burning stove.
