Carroll County campers will want these great outdoor living gifts

Webp 20edited

There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Outdoor Living” Gifts

1) Pain Relief Balm
Treat skin to a double dose of relief. This all-natural recovery balm is Made in the USA and shares the same moisturizing base as Dr. Doug’s Miracle balm (thank you, organic olive and coconut oil and beeswax), with added arnica and magnesium to help quell soreness and stiffness. Opt for the extra magnesium-rich balm that can be used to help ease nerve pain and help improve skin elasticity.

2) Mosquito Repellent Lawn Incense
Stake an extra-large mosquito repellent incense stick in a flower bed, planter, or directly into the yard to ward off pests. It’s powered by DEET-free natural repellent made with lemongrass oil and geraniol (from geraniums) and creates bug-fighting coverage of about 200 square feet. When a stick is done, it’s biodegradable, too.

3) Electric Fire Starter
Spark a charcoal or wood fire with an electric lighter that sidesteps gas, flame, and lighter fluid to do its job. Instead, this fire starter creates super-heated air that gets up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit in about a minute. Its safety casing cools within seconds, and a built-in bottle opener makes it an all-in-one grillside and fireside essential.

4) Stainless Steel Smoking Pouch
This stainless steel smoking pouch is the catalyst to a great grill session. Fine mesh limits air flow into the metal pouch, so wood chips heat quickly but won’t catch fire. Lay the non-rust pouch among proteins and veggies to infuse it all with tasty smoky flavor.

5) Heat-Resistant Cooking & Grilling Gloves
Grill Armor Gloves: 932°F Heat-Resistant Grilling Gloves - One-Size Black & Grey
