For exactly these people, we’ve put together the best gift ideas. Products that aren’t just useful but create memories. Things that don’t disappear in drawers but are used outside.

Why Petromax and outdoor belong together – for over 100 years
Petromax isn’t a brand that sells random products. Petromax is the result of a passion for fire that has lasted over a century. What once began with the iconic High-Pressure Lamp HK500 has developed into a brand made for true outdoor people.
While other products are created in studios, Petromax products are tested in the forest, on embers, in wind and rain. Much begins with soot on the fingers and an idea by the campfire. And maybe that’s exactly what you feel when you hold a Petromax product in your hand:
Authenticity. Reduction to the essentials. And a quality made to last decades – not just one season.
Petromax products don’t just accompany you. They become part of your stories.
They get scratches, patina, shine, and memories. They get better the more you use them – and that’s a promise not many outdoor brands can make.
So if you’re looking for a gift that works outside and delights inside: here are six gift ideas that make real Adventure possible.
6 gift ideas for true outdoor fans
1. LM500 – The light that makes every outdoor night special
Imagine an evening by the lake. The sun has long set, the fire quietly glowing. A few friends sit together, sharing stories told only at night. And right in the middle stands it: the LM500. Warm light that softens faces. And enough power to illuminate the surroundings – without ever being harsh.
The LM500 is inspired by the classic HK500 but modernized for our time.
It’s robust, weatherproof, and incredibly flexible. The three light colors – from cozy warm white to cool work light – make it the perfect companion, whether you’re tinkering at the workbench, securing the tent tarp, or just sitting together in the evening.
And then there’s the power bank function. It sounds like a small thing – but anyone who’s ever been outside and noticed their phone battery dying knows how valuable this option is. A lamp that creates atmosphere and reliably lights the way – the perfect gift for anyone who loves to stay out longer.
2. Percolator Perkomax – Coffee that simply tastes better outside
The Perkomax isn’t a kitchen appliance. It’s a ritual. And one that feels completely different outdoors than inside. When the water starts rising inside the tube, when the first drops fall onto the coffee grounds and that typical scent mixes with morning mist and cold air – that’s how the day should start outdoors.
The Perkomax works everywhere: on the grill, the embers, the gas stove, induction, ceramic cooktop. It brews nine cups at once, enough for the whole crew – or especially cold days. The percolator principle delivers a flavor that’s full-bodied, strong, and honest. No machines, no fuss – just water, heat, and really good coffee.
A gift that’s more than just a device – it’s a morning moment you’ll never forget.
3. Wildnis Roast – An outdoor coffee with real personality
Anyone who has sat by the campfire and had a really good coffee knows:
Nature is the best place for flavor. The Wildnis Roast is made exactly for that.
90% Brazilian Arabica brings chocolaty warmth, sweet nuttiness, and body.
10% Ethiopian Arabica brings bright fruitiness, perfectly balanced.
Naturally processed, which means: more sweetness, more aroma, more wilderness in every sip.
Its coarse grind perfectly complements the Perkomax. It’s a coffee that feels alive outdoors: powerful, warm, full-bodied. The perfect companion for the first glance at the quiet lake, for cold hands on the cup, for tired eyes after a long night under the stars.
A small gift – with a big impact.

4. Atago – The mobile outdoor kitchen that makes everything possible
The Atago is the product that excites outdoor fans as soon as they see what it can do.
Folded, it’s a surprisingly flat, sturdy stainless steel body. Opened – in just two seconds – it transforms into a true cooking marvel. Grill, fry, cook, braise, bake, make fire – everything’s possible. And everything works amazingly well.
The double-walled construction ensures excellent airflow, enabling low-smoke grilling while effectively concentrating the heat. Whether with wood or charcoal – the Atago heats up fast, hot, and reliably.
Combined with the Petromax Dutch Oven, the Griddle Plate, or the Waffle Iron, it becomes the heart of any outdoor kitchen. A gift that’s not just useful – but creates experiences you want to share right away.
5. Dutch Oven ft9 Starter Set – The best start into the world of fire cooking
Few things feel as primal as cooking with a cast-iron Dutch Oven. The ft9 is big, heavy, powerful – and that’s exactly why it’s so good.
With its 7.5-liter capacity, it easily provides dinner for friends, family, or whole groups. It feels just as at home on embers as on the grill or in the oven. And what comes out of it always tastes a little better than in the kitchen.
The set includes everything you need to get started: Lid Lifter, Care Conditioner, scraper.
It’s a gift for those ready to prepare dishes outdoors that remind them of home – only better. With every use, the patina grows stronger, the aroma more intense, and the bond with the pot deeper.
A gift that literally lasts for generations.

6. Grill Accessory Set – For people who don’t leave grilling to chance
For many outdoor fans, grilling is more than just cooking. It’s a craft. It’s about heat, precision, control. And that’s exactly what this set is made for.
The flexible spatula works as precisely as a good knife. The tongs grip securely without slipping. The Kevlar®-reinforced grill gloves protect reliably and still feel flexible. And the Cabix Plus briquettes provide even, long-lasting heat – perfect for everything that goes on the grill.
A gift that’s not only practical but makes grill evenings better, safer, and more relaxed. A comprehensive set for every grill master.

Bonus idea: The Petromax Adventure Camp – An experience that changes people
And then there’s something that goes far beyond things.
Something that can’t be packed, but must be experienced.
The Petromax Adventure Camp is a weekend full of fire, nature, knowledge, and real Adventure. Here you cook, hammer, carve, explore, grill, build, try out, and learn. You experience how to cook with the simplest tools, how fire really works, how to manage outdoors – and why all that makes you happy.
Participants go home with soot-covered hands, warm bellies, full heads, and new skills.
It’s a gift that leaves an impression. An experience that lasts. And a memory stronger than any object.

Conclusion: Good outdoor gifts tell stories
If you want to give a gift to someone who feels at home outdoors, don’t look for little things. Look for things that spark emotions. Things that are used, loved, worn, taken along. Things that are indestructible and write Adventure stories.
That's exactly what Petromax stands for. And that's exactly what these gift ideas are made for.
