It’s not too late to get some last-minute gifts shipped for folks on your list who enjoy the great outdoors, but want to do it in style. Glamorous camping is made easy with these finds.
Helinox HDB Collection: These compact, stylish chairs ($129) and tables ($174) each fold down into canvas totes that are not much bigger than a loaf of bread – meaning that urban dwellers can easily stow them under a bed or in a closet then pull them out for impromptu park picnics, as well as being a stylish addition to your glamping set up.
VSSL G45 Coffee Grinder: Whether your preferred method is pour-over, French press or percolator, there’s no denying that freshly ground beans augment the experience. This durable portable grinder has 50 different settings – something for every coffee snob – and will hold up to 50 grams of coffee. Made with aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel, it’s pretty dense, weighing a solid 21 ounces—which makes it perfect for car-camping or a particularly java-devoted backpacker. ($220) A smaller version ($160) holds less ground coffee but weighs about half as much.
Nocs binoculars ($95): Birdwatching has never looked so cute as with these colorful, high-quality binoculars. A range of colors will coordinate with every look, while the top-shelf optics and easy focusing mean this accessory isn’t just pretty. Add the smartphone photorig ($35) to zoom in on wildlife for perfect pix.
Snacks: Stuff their stockings with fancy portable snacks. I’m obsessed with Irvin’s Salted Egg Salmon Skin ($29.99 for six 1.8-ounce bags). Sustainably sourced with upcycled skins, these crunchy, umami-laden gems are also packed with protein and omega-3’s. For something that can go from breakfast toast to evening cheese board, grab a couple jars of Pear Cardamom Preserves ($10) from small-batch purveyor Root and Spoon, which uses locally sourced produce to create tasty jams.
Drinks: Canned wine has improved by leaps and bounds lately. For those who want booze, grab stylish D’Juce – top European wines in travel-friendly, social-media-ready cans ($11 each). The wine is small production and the labels are designed by an international slate of provocative artists. Skipping the alcohol? Grab Oddbird’s festive Blanc de Blancs ($6.99) or rosé sparkler – juicy and dry, it compliments any dish, or just hanging by the fire.
Death & Co. Picnic Blanket: Evoke the eternally cool ambience of one of the best bars in the world with this a thick cotton picnic blanket decorated with the bar’s signature Phantom Floral pattern ($70). It’s cozy enough to use as a wrap when it’s chilly, or spread it out for seating for two. Pair with their custom-designed James Brand multitool and picnic knife ($99), and a Death & Co. tote ($35) for

Working at a travel publication can be dizzying—in a year, we go so many places, write so many stories, and publish a lot of content. At times, it can feel like we've run out of world to cover: If you've been there, we've probably done that. But that's of course not the case, and certain stories are an especially powerful reminder of the many stones that remain unturned; that there are many ways to take a trip, either to a familiar place or somewhere markedly overlooked, and tell a completely new story about it.
Fans of Finnish author Tove Jansson will love the idyllic Pellinki archipelago, where she spent her summers on a tiny island, Klovharun, described in several of her novels. About 50 miles east of Helsinki, Pellinki forms part of a group of islands, linked by bridges and a delightful ferry, which you can explore by boat, car, bicycle, bus or on foot. Walk through the woods to reach one of the quiet beaches, hire a boat to fish or just tootle around the beautiful bays and stay in a traditional, wooden cottage with a matching sauna set among the trees where the only sounds you’ll hear are birdsong and the gentle putter of a small boat passing by. Finnish people know a lot about the importance of connecting with nature and this is a place where you will quickly find yourself reflecting on what really matters in life. Christine
