After more than 18 months of being cooped up inside, some people are saying ‘see ya’ to the home office and hitting the open road. Not just an internet trend- the Van Life movement is the latest generation of American explorers. Modern day pioneers are renovating and loading up vehicles like vans, campers, and even school buses as their home on the go.
With the hashtag vanlife surpassing 11 million posts on Instagram, it’s a safe bet to say you’ve probably got a few enthusiasts on your list this holiday season. Living on the road requires a variety of equipment depending on the individual. Whether your loved one is a full-time vandweller or a weekend adventurer, this list is sure to have something to fit their needs.
For the pint-sized vagabond:

This acrylic beanie is perfect for little dreamers who aren’t quite ready to drive solo as well as those trying to get the kids excited for a family road trip.
Coghlan’s Kid’s 7-Function Binoculars

While your ride vehicle is in motion, keep your kid’s hands, arms, legs, and voices inside by pair the magnifying glass feature with a DIY “i-spy” mason jar. When you arrive at your destination, the binoculars are great to have kids spot wildlife or other landmarks.
To make the jar: fill any sized jar or other container with a basic canvas of something like dry rice, beans or cereal- leaving about half of the jar empty. Then add colorful or interesting pieces like mini animal toys, alphabet beads, or forgotten lego bits! After adding your treasures, top off the jar with more of the plain filler, leaving at least a couple inches so there’s room for everything to move about freely. Have kids search for the pieces during quiet time, or make it into a game!
