So whether you are stuck in an isolated island or getting lost on a mountain top with no source of electricity, a portable mobile charger will come for your rescue.

2. Customized sleeping bag

If the guy/girl you are dating is a camper then gifting a customized sleeping bag is a very thoughtful idea. Every camper/trekker requires some basic camping accessories that they need to have in order to have safe travel experience. A customized sleeping bag can be made to order. You can make it according to your height, add double layer quilted construction seals or a hood to save you from those shivering cold nights. A good sleeping bag should have the following qualities:

• It should dry up quickly
• Non allergenic.
• It should ideally have a two zipper as it will help in converting it into a double bed
• Get stash pockets for your sleeping bag
• If its for a woman then it should be narrower at the shoulder and wider at the hips
• One can ask for a pillow pocket in the sleeping bag for that sweet and comfortable night sleep anywhere in the world.

So, if you are thinking of gifting a sleeping bag to the wanderlust in your life then keep the above mentioned points in mind.
