And while surfing the world wide web of gift shops I came to the realization, Christmas is not too far away, so am now browsing for that too.
So here are a few of my gift choice ideas I have found to be of good cheer

How cute is this ..... tent!
I stumbled upon this by some accident, and thought my brother would get a little chuckle. Little did I know, his response would be ... I WANT IT. So guess what he is getting for Christmas/birthday ... his own VW tent! Even my daughter shrieked with excitement! (But she's a teenager; it's probably an in-built reaction.) You'll never have to worry about losing your tent in the park again! What will they think of next?
Take a peek at how to set up the tent
Officially licensed, this stunning four-man (or lady, lol) tent is a deluxe, full-size replica of the iconic 1965 VW Camper Van synonymous with 60s counterculture. It’s so evocative you can almost hear the Mamas and the Papas singing California Dreamin’ every time you feast your eyes on its beautifully breadloaf-ish form. Indeed we half expected Mama Cass to tumble out when we first saw this groovy Vee-Dub. You’ll be the envy of the campsite!
Factor in two zip-separated double-size rooms, allowing couples to sleep/knit yoghurt/spread the love in private, plus an outer that can be put up first to offer some shelter as you erect the other bits and bobs, and you’re looking at the greatest thing to hit the world of boho living since… well, since the original VW Camper Van. All together now, ‘If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to take your Vee-Dub Camper Tent…
A Quick Spin... VW Camper Van Tent
After watching this vid, my thoughts immediately went to ...... brother, booze, camping ........ and his traveling play tent. I'm hoping to have some great stories to share when he comes back from his next camping trip!
And in continuing with the outdoor theme ....
what about some fun wet water style sports toys
tons of fun to be had

Go 20,000 leagues under the shower with this friendly squid, equipped with nine, adjustable tentacles for gripping your shampoo, soap and washing extras, without disappearing into the bathroom void! Wildly convenient, this functional creature even holds your bottles upside down, so you conquer every last drop,
Designed to look like a giant piece of file paper complete with printed lines, holes and red margins on both sides, doodle duvet comes with its own set of 8 wash-out color pens. Which means that you can jot down late-night thoughts, draw a masterpiece, write a story or leave a message – then wash your duvet cover for a totally fresh start all over again...endlessly!
and if really stuck for a gift .... or wanting to surprise a loved one away from home - a gift card is the ideal way to go.
