Bushgear's Christmas Gift Ideas 2024

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

Christmas is a time for tradition and custom so in keeping with the season’s spirit, several years ago, we established the Bushgear Christmas gift guide; an annual event where we carefully curate around 20 items from our extensive range of products. From fun stocking fillers to grand gestures, we have a selection of products to suit most budgets and tastes.

Barmah Hat – You really can’t go wrong with a quality, Australian-made Barmah hat. Available in a range of colours, styles and materials. Ideal for travel and adventure. 

Maratac Titanium Thimble – When you absolutely have to get through that 2000 denier tarpaulin reinforced material. It stands no chance against you with one of these on your finger!

Maratac Ti Precision Driver Set – A beautifully crafted precision driver set made from titanium. The driver features a smooth bearing for precision use. Supplied with a variety of quality steel bits for most tasks, including Philips and flat head.

Fisher Space Pens – The original and still the best “go-anywhere”, “write-anywhere” space pen. Zero gravity? No problem! Under water? No problem. Nothing to write? Well, it can’t help you there but anything else is a go! Available in several designs and materials ranging from elegant to practical.

The Geekey – One solidly built multi tool for your pocket or keyring. Features over 16 useful tools in a compact footprint, ideal for those random, ad-hoc tasks which can crop up on a daily basis.

Haley’s Corker – The ultimate accessory for wine lovers. This little device helps pour, aerate, decant, filter and store your opened bottles of wine. The black version is for screw cap bottles and the green version is for cork bottles. With a Corker inserted bottles can be stores horizontally.

HIkki Lillhalla - Inspired by the nomadic “Sami” people of Sweden who in the course of moving about the land would establish temporary “fireplaces” wherever they would go. The Lillhalla takes it inspiration from these fireplaces. Multifunctional, it can be used as a fireplace, grill, barbecue, griddle and more. Supplied with a stainless steel grill and steel pot hanger which, as the name suggests, is used for suspending pots or kettles above your fire for cooking/boiling. A nice addition to any outdoor space.

HIkki Bohemen – The original wood fired hot tub from Sweden. This luxury bath is fast heating, can be set-up almost anywhere and requires no harsh chemicals nor electricity. Made from aluminium and wood, the tub can be used in conjunction with saltwater.

Klipsta – The ultimate accessory for the hands-free carry of hats, spectacles, helmets, water bottles, headphones and more. The magnetic closure system is simple to use and effectively holds a wide variety of items. Simply attach the Klipsta to a bag, belt, handle or strap and you’re ready to go.

Nokian Footwear – An unique range of waterproof rubber boots from Finland. Depending on model, these are great for activities ranging from gardening to ice fishing and cross-country skiing! Yes seriously! Unlike normal wellies, Nokian boots provide excellent foot support and even better traction on slippery surfaces. Some models are supplied with a seriously warm but removable felt lining for extra cosy toes.

ProKnot Cards – These are great for anyone learning outdoor skills. Each compact booklet is waterproof and easy to carry and provides clear instruction and illustrations, demonstrating how various knots are tied. Choose from fishing or outdoor knots.

PDW AL-Fs – A waterproof capsule containing a flint and wick lighter similar to how a Zippo works. The additional benefit of these is that the fuel will not evaporate in just a few days so works great as a backup source of flame. Due to the rubber seals, the fuel will still be there when you need it, up to six months later*

Photon Microlight – The original and still the best micro torch for your keyring/ pack /pocket. Built extremely tough, these little lights are near indestructible and boast runtimes of up to 18 hours on just one set of batteries. Several models and led colours available.

StrikeFire – Our very own British range of outdoor products which includes sporks, fireesteels and more.

Solights – One of the best solar powered lanterns ideal for travel, camping, interior and exterior design and more. The Solight is waterproof and very energy efficient providing up to 10 hours of light form an 8 hour charge in daylight. The unit is very lightweight and can be folded flat for convenient storage and transportation.

Survival Advantage – A brilliant field guide to outdoor living and "survival" written by our very own Andrew Lane. This well written guide is easy to follow and contains lots of unique illustrations to help understand the theory and put it into practice. The book focuses on cold climatic conditions, in the northern hemisphere. Great for anyone spending a lot of time outdoor or for anyone interested in outdoor skills. Andy has very kindly signed a few dozen copies for us.
