Best small item you've bought - looking a gift idea

Looking for something small as a token gift - as it's my friends birthday on Wed & we're off to a festival on Thurs. think she has almost everything we'd need so just looking for something I can order from Amazon or pick up in Argos/the range etc that would be useful or fun.

Thanks!

If it’s hot - mini fan esp if in a tent.
if doesn’t already have one then some sort of Bluetooth speaker, can get ones that double up as a light as well

A water bottle carrier with phone holder - these are £16.99 on Amazon and really handy for festivals.

If you can have camp fires, a flint striker is small and useful.

One of those rechargeable sleeping mat inflators. Tiddly. Around £25 online.

That'll be handy for camping

A small lightweight light which can hang from the roof in the middle of the tent (most have string for this). One that does bright, dim, and red is good. Makes everything much much easier in the dark, so much better than torches.

I think you missed the part about it being to take 'camping' 😆

A head torch
Power bank to recharge phones
Can of dry shampoo
Face glitter/bindi things
Tent light with a hook to hang it up
Lipgloss (my lips always get dry with the sun/drinking etc)

Caribenas. So many uses - hang torches from roof of tent etc.

A nice light blanket/shawl. I always have one or two in my car and they get used every time we go camping, great for wrapping up in when sitting around, fold to use as a pillow, additional blanket for chilly nights in the tent.

It says for men but unless she has tiny head I'm sure it will fit

One of the folding firepits from amazon, they cost around £15 and are an ingenious bit of kit. Might not be allowed at a festival though.
