Gift for a campervan owner

We’re going abroad to visit the ILs over Christmas and their next door neighbour has very kindly offered us her house to stay in, while she sleeps in her campervan.

It's a VERY generous offer, so I’d like to get her something nice (also to partly thank her for being an absolute gem of a friend and neighbour to the ILs over the past few years when we haven’t been able to see them)

MIL says a bottle of gin would suffice, but surely there’s something else we can bring her.

Suggestions very gratefully received!

Is it a VW campervan?

AiryFairy1 · 13/10/2022 13:58

No, it’s a 2-berth quite modern style (from what I’ve seen on google street view 😅)

Oo great suggestions, thanks!

Like the look of the coffee thing - will check the weight as we’re flying and can’t afford to bring too many heavy things! Gin for neighbour and whiskey for FIL we can get in duty free…

This might be a bit over budget, but I’ve got something similar from this company and it’s gorgeous www.etsy.com/uk/listing/642925348/our-campervan-adventure-photo-album

One of those scratch-off maps for her to scratch off the countries she's been to.
Yy a fluffy warm blanket or throw.
Fleecy slippers.

I've just ordered a personalised journal for a couple we know with a caravan - there's loads on etsy and you choose a campervan that looks like theirs, and can have something like 'Roy & Jean's campervan adventures' or somesuch on the front.

Another one which has gone down well is a 2-cup bialetti stove-top coffee maker, you can get them in quite nice colours as well.

A Ridgemonkey stove top toastie (etc) maker (unless her van has an induction hob, some modern ones do). They are god for toasties, omelettes, sausages, burgers, compact and prevent grease splatter. Popular amongst campers.
