Shortly after the last days of late summer have granted us one last warm camping weekend at the lake, it begins: first you notice the gingerbread in the supermarket aisles and then you think: seriously? This year they are REALLY overdoing it . A week later you realize in the drugstore that you can actually put any product range in an Advent calendar. And by the time your parents call and ask if you want to eat that weird soy cheese again on December 24th, you'll realize: it's very Christmassy.

Before the next call comes asking about your wish list and you end up with socks again, or you make the 17th voucher yourself that is never redeemed, we have created a small but nice list of products for you that In our opinion, they are the perfect complement to our own products for your next camping adventure.

The selection consists of local companies that we recommend out of personal conviction, as the products meet a high quality standard and can therefore accompany you and your loved ones on your travels sustainably.

1. For the vegan star chefs:

Campo Libre Cooking Set ENZO x Cookbook: Vegan in the Van by Journey to Mother Nature .

We have found the perfect cookbook to conjure up a delicious and sustainable menu on the folding table: Vegan in the Van by Lorena Palombo offers versatile and easy-to-cook recipes that do not contain any animal products. Lorena has put together almost 100 dishes during her trip across Europe and there is something for everyone, whether it's shakshuka with scrambled tofu for breakfast or papaya lentil curry for the whole gang in the evening.

And if you really feel like getting started, but you still don't have the right equipment, then we have the ENZO cooking set for you: the set consists of two pots, a pan, a kettle and a specially developed lid with an integrated sieve, suitable for both pots and pan. To store it, you can put everything together to save space and secure it with the practical strap.

2. For the order fanatics:

Campo Libre seat organizer LINN x Merino slippers from GIESSWEIN

We don't know how you feel, but one thing is important to stay comfortable in the winter after our outdoor trips: warm feet, preferably in cozy slippers. The family business Giesswein from Tyrol has something suitable: the Neudau slippers made of Merino virgin wool warm up even the coldest feet and are also breathable - anyone who has ever been exposed to unpleasant smells in a small space while camping knows why this is important.

What could be more unpleasant than not being able to find your cozy, warm slippers after a cold and wet adventure?! Luckily, that's what LINN is for: she not only stores your slippers neatly, but of course also all the other stuff that you always need but never find. Made from high-quality and durable Oxford canvas, LINN offers all sorts of storage options for the big and small things of camper life, including a removable notebook bag.

3. For the romantics:

Campo Libre travel blanket WANDA in Sherpa Edition x SPIN 90 table fire from höfats .

For romantic camping nights, one thing should definitely not be missing: a cozy, warming fire. Since the open fire option is often not possible for various reasons, we have found an ingenious alternative: Spin 90 , the table fire from Höfats conjures up a campfire atmosphere - both outside and indoors. Bioethanol is used as fuel, which ensures an odorless and smoke-free experience - heat included on all sides, of course.

And if it's not cuddly enough, just throw on our WANDA : the Adventure blanket comes with the softest Sherpa fleece made from recycled polyester and thus increases your level of comfort and the romantic factor enormously. Did we mention that WANDA features our “Clip-to-Cape” closure? That's right, you can easily transform the blanket into a cozy cape that can fit two underneath if necessary. Further features include a dirt and water-repellent coating and suitability for washing at up to 40°C.

4. For the Hüttenzauber fan base:

Campo Libre thermos bottle Jaco x Glühfranz mulled wine from Schorlefranz .

A camping trip to Winter Wonder Land, a day in the snow - and then? How about one, two or four cups of hot mulled wine or punch? The three founders of Schorlefranz have something for cold winter days: Glühfranz ! Whether with or without alcohol, whether white or red, the grape juice always comes from regional companies where only the best quality is put into the bottles - and 100% vegan. Yay!

To ensure that the drink of your choice always ends up steaming hot in your mug, there is our JACO thermos bottle . Thanks to its double-walled stainless steel vacuum insulation and Temp-Shield closure, it keeps your coffee, tea or Glühfranz hot all day long. But JACO can also be used in summer because it ensures icy drinks for up to 36 hours. Available in two sizes (750ml and 1000ml) and optionally with the original Campo Libre canvas handle.

5. For the coffee enthusiasts:

Campo Libre French Press GIORGIO x Roastery New Black .

We have one thing in common with the Neues Schwarz team: we are explorers and always looking for the extraordinary. At Neues Schwarz, only selected coffee beans come to the in-house roastery and are processed there using a light and gentle roast to create the perfect taste experience. The coffee experts attach great importance to direct trade, for example with the Mierisch family from Finca Los Placeres in Nicaragua. But take a look for yourself!

With our French Press GIORGIO you no longer need to worry about preparing your new favorite coffee. The double-walled vacuum insulation ensures that you can enjoy your hot coffee for as long as possible and GIORGIO itself is particularly durable with its 18I8 stainless steel quality. Now even available in the large 1000ml version.

And if you want to refresh your knowledge of making coffee in the French press, the Brew Guide from Neues Schwarz will help you.

6. For those who love details

Campo Libre cutting boards ELLA & ALBA x Handmade knives made from recycled spring steel by Black Chili Messer .

Hand on heart: how many of your knives actually cut really well? And how many of your knives that no longer cut do you sort out - into your camper? We think: even a camper deserves excellent knives, like those from Black Chili Messer. They are hand-forged from carbon steel in Vietnam and additionally re-ground in Germany - extreme sharpness guaranteed! What's special about the knives is that they come from an upcycling project where old saw blades and truck leaf springs are recycled. Our favorite: The Ban Tai !

Basically not a good idea, but especially not with the Black Chili knives: cutting on unsuitable surfaces such as the dashboard or the hood. This is where BRAD comes into play. Available in two sizes and with a practical juice groove that runs to the back and therefore doesn't get in the way. Your ideal cutting mat!

7. For those suffering from wanderlust:

Campo Libre camping lamp LENI x The Fernweh Collective .

Do you also find yourself thinking about the next adventure while traveling? The feeling of wanderlust is often intensified when you're on the move, but you're not alone: ​​The Wanderweh Collective is committed to telling special travel stories and encouraging environmental awareness and rethinking. An entire issue of the beautifully designed magazine is dedicated to vanlife, camping and road trips - get inspired!

In winter the days become shorter and the nights longer - so if you want to browse for a while after the day's adventures, you need the right lighting.

Here comes Q : The Swiss army knife in lamp format! Warm light in 3 brightness levels, integrated flashlight, SOS emergency function, long-lasting 2500 mAh battery and IPX4 water protection as well as a rubberized magnet for unsurpassed "anywhere attachment" - James would be jealous!

8. For the party addicts:

Beosound Explore by Bang&Olufsen .

The Beosound Explore is a waterproof outdoor speaker that can withstand any adventure. The scratch-resistant housing made of anodized aluminum protects against impacts, and the box is also dust and waterproof. Your adventure soundtrack will be played in the best sound quality for up to 27 hours and the intuitive operation makes the whole thing uncomplicated. Thanks to the attached loop, Beosound Explore accompanies you on the go on your backpack and can even be used with gloves.

9. For the night owls:

Piko TL flashlight from Lupine .

Who doesn't know it - after an eventful day, delicious food and various glasses of (mulled) wine, you wake up at night and envy the people with integrated camping toilets. The fantastically remote parking space now turns out to be a tripping hazard because it is pitch black. It's good that you have your own little headlight ready: at 87 x 42 x 24mm, the Piko TL from Lupine is smaller than your smartphone, but illuminates your nighttime toilet use with 1600 lumens. Thanks to the aluminum body, the Piko is well protected from dust, water and shocks. The light be with you!

Have fun giving gifts and a Merry Christmas to all of you - wherever you are! 🎄
