Each year we like to do a gift guide for the frequent traveller/hiker/walker. Here is our 2019 list of stocking stuffing gems. Feel free to post your gift idea below.

  1. Pocket Blow Torch. Forget trying to light a match in high winds or singeing yourself with a lighter, you will have all your birthday candles lit in no time with this handy dandy pocket blow torch. Super compact they can fit in your pocket, glove box or backpack. (Perhaps don’t put them in your checked luggage though!) The pocket blow torches cost between $10-$20 so a great little stocking stuffer! https://www.bunnings.com.au/tradeflame-pocket-blow-torch-with-refillable-fuel-cartridge_p5910261
