Gift Ideas for the Motorcycle Camper

  • Camp Mug: for Whiskey, Ramen, Coffee, or Ice Cold Beer! …or margaritas, or whatever your heart desires.
  • Sea to Summit Coffee Dripper: Lightweight, compressible coffee dripper for that special someone who needs their caffeine first thing in the morning.
  • Headlamp: Whether you’ve attempted to set up your tent in the dark with a phone in one hand and tent poles in the other, or have just stumbled through a campground at night with no light source, a headlamp is a simple yet effective game changer.
  • Jetboil MicroMo: A camp kitchen that will fit in your saddlebag. The MicroMo is the smallest, most versatile Jetboil available, allowing you to quickly boil water or cook food.
  • Big Agnes Copper Spur or Fly Creek Bikepacking Tents: Small enough to mount to your handlebars, the Bikepacking series tents from Big Agnes free up a ton of space on the bike without compromising the quality standards this outdoor company is reputable for.
  • Rokform Wireless Speaker: Rugged, Waterproof, Magnetic, and sure to liven up whatever party you’re having under the stars. PS: Use code “RIDETOFOOD” for 25% off your entire purchase at checkout on the Rokform webstore!
  • Camping Utensils
  • Smartwool Base Layers: Whether you’re riding in chilly weather or camping in it, a quality set of merino wool base layers are guaranteed to keep you warm on your adventures.
  • Hammock: ENO makes some of the top hammock gear in the game. This complete hammock bundle comes with everything you need, rain or shine…or should we say stars?
  • Pillow: Some people like to sleep on their dirty socks and leathers, but you could throw this in their stocking in lower their chances of pink eye.
  • Travel Towels: If they’re the type of person to ride to swim or take a shower at a truck stop, a highly absorbent, compact, quick-drying travel towel will be a welcome addition to their travel gear.

Gift Ideas For the MotoVlogger & Content Creator

Pin me for later!
  • GoPro Hero 9: The ultimate action camera that’s small enough to throw in your pocket.
  • GoPro Max: Take the content creation to the next level with a 360 camera. This is how I get all the crazy “spin” shots while riding. No swivel mounts required.
  • Handlebar Mount: My most used mount. Works well on engine guards as well as handlebars and risers.
  • Removable Helmet Chin Mount or a Dual Mount for Front and Side Helmet Action
  • Suction Cup Mount: Great for touring bikes with windshields
  • Adhesive Mounts: Can you really ever have too many extra stickies laying around?
  • Micro SD Memory Cards + SD Memory Cards: Whether they use a drone, GoPro, or DSLR, chances are extra memory cards will always come in handy. 64-128gb is the perfect amount of storage for any device.
  • Small Camera Travel Tripod: Great for phones, go pros, or small mirrorless DSLR cameras.
  • Battery Pack: Keep your camera gear charged on the go without pulling off your motorcycle’s battery. This 32,000 mAh battery pack can be super handy on multi-day trips where you can’t get to an outlet but need to keep the content rolling.
  • Camera Travel Tripod: For the serious content creator in your life! This is ideal for someone with a DSLR camera that needs more options than a small tripod can provide.
  • Extra Batteries + Dual Battery Charger for GoPro Hero or Max: Be sure to note that the GoPro 7, 8, and 9, and Max all use different types of batteries. But, having a charger and extra battery or two on hand is always helpful!

Gift Ideas for the Motorcycle Tourer

  • Sena Bluetooth 50R: Talk with other riders in the group, listen to music, or answer calls on the go. If that special someone already has a Sena, perhaps hook them up with Upgraded Speakers if they have a compatible Sena Device!
  • Bell Race Star: Whether you’re riding around town or blasting miles across the country, the Race Star comes high on the recommendation list. This is my favorite helmet for long distance riding.
  • Butler Maps: Whether you’re staying on or off road, these waterproof maps provide great ride routes to individual regions with difficulty ratings and other helpful info.
  • Earplugs: Sometimes it’s nice to cancel out the wind noise and save your hearing from potential damage on a long day’s ride.
  • National Parks Pass: The best gift you can give someone who loves visiting our National Parks!
  • Travel Cubes: Staying organized on trips can really make a difference. These storage cubes are great on and off the bike.
  • Fuel Reserve Bottles: We all know that person that runs out of gas on every trip.
  • Water Storage: Camelbak Water Reservoir or a Nalgene Water Bottle
  • Cargo nets: Keep your gear stored safely with new nets for the upcoming riding season.
  • Dry Bags: Nobody likes soggy gear on long trips!
  • Battery Tender: While winterizing our bikes isn’t always fun, it’s nice to be able to make sure the battery stays healthy while we wait for warmer weather.
  • Rain Gear: The one piece of gear every rider wishes they had packed on a long-distance trip.

    My dad is a motorcycle enthusiast, which is why I’m thinking of gifting him with a helmet. Well, thank you for sharing here that a headlamp will be a perfect present for his campground night as well. It’s also a good thing that you shared here the advantage of giving him Smartwool based layers that he may wear on his cold road trips.
