We’re outdoorsy people; of course we’re gonna look for a more rugged, real, and rustic way to say those three little words without coating something in chocolate, sticking a flower in the middle, and scribbling ‘with love’ on the tag.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the pressies for their feet to the gear that beats the heat – this blog goes out to anyone with a skipping heartbeat! This year, swap the dozen red roses with a double self inflating mattress, and the candlelit dinner with campfire damper and a tent tangled in string lights. With our carefully selected Valentine’s Day gift ideas below, we’ve got the key to their carava\u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uh, we mean 4WD\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UHH, we mean HEART<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So follow our rose petal trail and take your pick from 14 different paths to their heart…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. MPOWERD Luci Solar String Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, you haven\u2019t lost your \u2018spark\u2019. You just need the Luci Solar String Lights<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embellish your setup with their radiant tendrils, charged via the power of the sun or a traditional outlet for convenience \u2013 plus, the USB port can boost the charge of your mobile phone. Thanks to the unique clips, attaching and suspending the lights is simple, while the dual directional LEDs offer a warm, enchanting glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be it a star-speckled constellation at your campsite, or pizzazz to the patio \u2013 these string lights offer no-fuss, romance-abundant lighting with a touch of elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bushranger<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep the rubbish, recyclables, and wet gear separate from your vehicle\u2019s clean interior. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Bushranger Wheelie Bin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Wheelie Bin by Bushranger<\/a> will either be well-received as a kick-butt addition to their 4WD kit, or read as a subtle way of saying \u2018you\u2019re grotty, sort it out or we\u2019re done xx\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the rubbish, recyclables, and wet gear separate from your vehicle\u2019s clean interior, owing to a self-supported main compartment that holds 57 litres, a moveable ridged divider for convenience, and two sides reach a 5-litre capacity. The hard-wearing, reinforced PVC with a double padded base and partial walls offer extra strength and reliabiity, UV-tested to hold up to colour-fading with a reflective strip to ensure visibility at night too. Four side-release buckles secure the lid, and vented eyelets in the base make for easy draining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is no trash talk (well, except for in a literal sense).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Salomon Quest Rove Mid GTX Women\u2019s Boot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For one to ~step it up~ this Valentine\u2019s Day, one must first box it up \u2013 and we recommend the Quest Rove Mid GTX Women\u2019s Boots<\/a> by Salomon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A durable Mud Contragrip\u00ae outsole with deep, sharp lugs guarantees grip on loose, uneven, or slippery terrain, while an EnergyCell midsole absorbs impact. These boots also boast an Advanced Chassis insert that offers stability, lateral support, and protection, while a Gore-Tex membrane delivers breathable water protection for damp environments. A split-suede leather and Gore-Tex upper construction guarantees durability, dryness, and longevity, a toe cap offers protection, and 3D mesh mediates debris \u2013 so she can traverse the ups and drops from road to rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck chasing her once she gets going up the gradient in these butt-kickers, offering guaranteed grip for the go-getter gals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Oh sorry babe, I can\u2019t fix that. Forgot my knife.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either that\u2019s a lie and they secretly don\u2019t know how to, or they genuinely need the Leatherman Leather Box Sheath<\/a> to keep their fix-it kits at their hip.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constructed from high-quality leather, it features a firm, snap-closure to keep your pocket knife secure \u2013 plus, an integrated belt loop so they\u2019re literally joined at the hip. The Box Sheath 4\u201d Small is also compatible with the separately available Wingman, Sidekick, Rev, Rebar, and Heritage Rebar multi-tool models from Leatherman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If longevity is the goal, gift them the gear that looks after what they\u2019ve already got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it classy with classic, adjustable buckle closures over a sophisticated two-strap design of oiled leather, complete from the ground up with a two-component polyurethane sole \u2013 a supportive, sporty shoe for outdoor activities calling on contoured comfort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay as you are fam, Exped has got you covered and coupled with their Universal Mat Coupler Kit<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consisting of two loops \u2013 one for each mattress \u2013 and a vertical band in the middle, this kit works to keep the mats level in the middle. Adjust the coupler to the thickness of the mat by moving the middle band, and accommodate the width of the mat by adjusting the outer tabs. Position the straps at the shoulder and hip height to space them out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thin but durable, they\u2019re unnoticeable as you sleep and versatile across almost any single mattress you may own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go on. You know you\u2019re there now. Couple up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
