1. Leather Firewood Holder
When he’s spent all afternoon felling trees, chopping wood, and splitting kindling, he needs something other than a laundry basket to haul it inside!
Enter in this amazingly good looking (just like your man) leather personalized carrier! He’s going to look so SAWEET as he carries wood to and fro, that he’ll likely get the cover of Manly Man International Magazine.
Prop your feet up on the footstool and relax in front of your roaring fire, all while he models his muscles for ya!
2. Custom Fishing Tumbler
Insulated and vacuum sealed, this personalized fishing tumbler will be his new favorite accessory for fishing trips! Right after that three-foot bass he caught with one hand while sipping coffee from this dandy mug… ahem, fish story.
Anyway, you can pick his favorite color (don’t be silly, it’s black) and have his name engraved on it. His darker than night coffee (no frou-frou creamer) will stay hot, and his Jack and Coke will stay frosty, all day, every day.
3. Rocket Stove
This amazing rocket stove outdoor gift really fits the bill for camping and survival trips, or simply when the power goes out in his oh-so-strapping log cabin that he built with his two bare hands!
Requiring just kindling and a lighter, you’ll have a roaring fire to grill your hatchet pork chop or ribeye over. Or just use it for heat! Even manly men need to warm up by the fire, especially if they left you behind this trip.
4. Ultimate Outdoor Trip
If he’s as outdoorsy as we think he is, he wants an EXPERIENCE, not some present gift-wrapped with a girly bow. Give him what he wants: the ultimate outdoor trip of his choice.
It’s simple: you choose the gift box theme, and a gift shows up in the (e)mail with instructions on how to redeem. He picks his choice from 900+ trips, whether near or far.
Get ready to be forever declared the Ultimate Gift Giver for All Time (might want to bookmark this site for next year, because now you have a rep’ to live up to).

5. Damascus Steel Woodsman Axe
We’re not sure what we love more: the ax itself (so gorgeous), or the leather holder (so SO gorgeous). This Woodsman Damascus Steel Axe set is absolutely stunning, and will be his go-to on his next hunting adventure. Or his next fishing trip. Or that survival course he’s signed up for. Or, you know, every Tuesday…
Did we mention you can personalize it?! Holy Hannah. This is one gift that will blow his mind.
6. The Rod Father
Combine the Godfather (the ultimate man movie) with fishing (the ultimate man activity) and what do you have?
That’s right: this epically RAD shirt! The Rodfather will have every man within a twenty-mile radius jealous. It will pair with everything from his shorts (worn all winter, naturally) to his jeans (worn for special occasions, like weddings, bar mitzvahs, and funerals. I kid, I kid).

7. O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Cream
Sure, he works with his hands, and sure, he’s a guy and all, but when it comes to loving you… well, Tim McGraw said it best: I’ve got velvet hands.
Yes sir, yes ma’am! He may be rough and tumble, but his hands can be as soft as silk thanks to O’Keeffe’s Working Hand Cream. He can get as dirty and leathered as is possible (which is, of course, totally attractive) and know that you’ll still appreciate his touch.
Ooh la la.
8. Custom Bottle Opener
This custom bottle opener is made of walnut and maple wood and totally personalized with his name! Does he love hiking, beer, fishing, kayaking, welding? Or maybe he’s into white water rafting, sasquatch hunting, bows and arrows, or salsa dancing?
We just threw that last one in there to see if you were paying attention.
Actually though, salsa dancing can be awfully manly! Have you seen those dancing shows?! Or real life… Anyway, this bottle opener will be treasured by your man for years and years to come because of its quality workmanship, and sturdy build.
Also, it just looks fantastic in your back yard, much like he does!
9. Beer Cozies
Yep, he’s tough and serious, but sometimes you just need a laugh! The next time he says, “Here, hold my beer,” he’ll be doing it in style, and the lucky holder will be all, “Dude. Sick beer sweater.”
Or something.
Anyway, these hilarious (but also really useful) beer cozies are everything.
10. Engraved Pocket Knife
The outdoorsman can never have too many knives.
It science.
Or biology.
Maybe psychics?
Whatever. In any case, this personalized pocket knife is just the ticket for him. You can have it engraved with his name, or your pet name, like Smooshy Wooshy Face, or Snookums. Or… you know, Travis.
10 Best Camping Gifts for Men
11. Cedar Grilling Wraps
It’s a tragic misnomer that manly men only eat raw meat, barely gutted fish, and cheap beer. Never let it be said! Nay nay, the manly man loves a good meal as much as the next guy; probably more, since he caught/killed it himself. These grilling wraps, made of cedar, leave a smoky, delightful, and absolutely chef-worthy note to his outdoor meal. Salmon wrapped in cedar? Oh. My. Stars.

12. Portable Campfire
Sure, he could rub two sticks together for hours, while you shiver uncontrollably in your sad little autumnal jacket, but why would he, when he has these amazing portable, lightweight (and nontoxic) INSTANT campfires? Start a fire like a boss, y’all, and get to snuggling and making some S’mores.

Let them know whose property they’re on with one of these great metal personalized signs! Whether it’s to stake claim to the best campsite in the campground, or to let everyone know where their property lines are, this is a cute and adorable (but still cool and outdoorsy) way to do it.
Also, what a great wedding gift for when Mr. Right finds his Mrs.!
14. RV Checklist
Look, you can be manly and all that, but you still need a check-list. This one – which is totally customizable – is just the thing for the organized camping man in your life.
Nothing ruins an RV trip more than forgetting a dumb-but-important detail. Like the batteries. Or the propane. Or your wife. (It’s the little things, right?)
Those disasters are a thing of the past with this checklist: No memo pad and pencil required.
15. Chow Peppermint Mix
Just because you’re manly doesn’t mean you don’t get hangry! This yummy peppermint chow mix is perfect for all of the following:
- Chopping wood in the snow
- Fishing in the summer
- Fishing in the winter
- Hunting
- Chopping down your Christmas tree
- Building a log cabin
- Going out into nature to find yourself
- Backpacking
- Rafting
- Wondering if you should go off-grid for the rest of your life
16. Coleman Sundome Tent
A good tent is almost as good as a good dog or a good companion, at least when you’re camping! Don’t leave it up to fate or chance: get him a Coleman 4-person tent. It’s up in a jiffy, will keep out the rain and the mosquitoes, and is light as air (at least if he’s as tough as he says he is).
17. Insulated Heated Socks
You know what ruins a perfectly good winter camping trip? Or a autumn campout with unseasonably cold weather? That’s right: COLD FEET. Banish those suckers to the afterlife, with a pair (or three) of these amazing thermal insulated socks.
Does he fancy himself an ice-fisherman? A hunter in December? A skier or snowboarder? Maybe a figure skater, with you on his arm?
Well, he needs these.
18. Popcorn Maker
To those who pop their corn in the microwave, like Neanderthals, we say PFFT! GOOD DAY, SIR! I SAID, GOOD DAY!
If he wants popped corn the way nature intended, with lots of fire and heat and some pot-holders to keep out the burns, we say get him this delightful popcorn maker. He’ll love the design and the function, and you’ll love the result: delicious, hot, buttery, salty, snacks.
