For exactly these people, we have put together the best gift ideas here. Products that are not only useful, but also create memories. Things that don't disappear into drawers, but are used outdoors.

Why Petromax and outdoor belong together - for over 100 years
Petromax is not a brand that sells random products. Petromax is the result of a passion for fire that has lasted for over a century. What once began with the iconic HK500 strong light lamp has developed into a brand that is made for real outdoor people.
While other products are created in the studio, Petromax products are tested in the forest, on embers, in the wind and rain. Many things begin with soot on the fingers and an idea around the campfire. And perhaps that is exactly what you feel when you hold a Petromax product in your hand:
Authenticity. Reduction to the essentials. And a quality that is made for decades - not for one season.
Petromax products not only accompany you. They become part of your story.
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 outdoors and inspires indoors: here are six gift ideas that make real adventures possible.
6 gift ideas for real outdoor fans
1. LM500 - The light that makes every outdoor night special
Imagine an evening by the lake. The sun has long since set, the fire glows softly. A few friends are sitting together, telling stories that are only told at night. And in the middle of it all is the LM500. Warm light that softens the faces. And enough power to illuminate the surroundings - without ever appearing harsh.
The LM500 is inspired by the classic HK500, but modernized for our times.
It is robust, weatherproof and incredibly flexible. The three light colors - from cozy warm white to cool work light - make it the perfect companion, whether you are working on the workbench, fastening the tent canvas or simply sitting together in the evening.
And then there's the power bank function. It sounds like a small thing - but anyone who has ever stood outside and noticed that their cell phone battery is dying knows how valuable this option is. A lamp that creates atmosphere and provides reliable lighting at the same time - the perfect gift for anyone who likes to stay outside for longer.
2. percolator Perkomax - coffee that simply tastes better outdoors
The Perkomax is not a kitchen appliance. It is a ritual. And one that has a completely different effect outside than inside. When the water starts to rise in the inner tube, when the first drops fall onto the coffee powder and that typical aroma mingles with the morning mist and cold air - then the day starts the way it should outside.
The Perkomax works everywhere: on the grill, embers, gas hob, induction, ceramic hob. It conjures up nine cups at the same time, enough for the whole crew - or particularly cold days. The percolator principle ensures a taste that is full-bodied, strong and honest. No machines, no frills - just water, heat and really good coffee.
A gift that is more than a device - it is a moment in the morning that you will never forget.
3. wilderness roast - an outdoor coffee with real personality
Anyone who has ever sat around a campfire and had a really good coffee knows:
Nature is the best place for flavor. Wilderness Roast is made for just that.
90% Brazil Arabica brings chocolaty warmth, sweet nuttiness and body.
10 % Ethiopia Arabica brings bright fruitiness that is perfectly balanced.
Natural processing, which means: more sweetness, more aroma, more wildness per sip.
Its coarse grind harmonizes perfectly with the Perkomax. It is a coffee that comes alive outside: powerful, warm, full. The perfect companion for the first glimpse of the still 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 delights outdoor fans as soon as they see what it can do.
When folded, it is an amazingly flat, robust stainless steel body. Opened - in just two seconds - it transforms into a real cooking miracle. Grill, roast, boil, braise, bake, light a fire - everything is possible. And it all works amazingly well.
The double-walled construction ensures a particularly good air supply, which enables low-smoke grilling and at the same time effectively concentrates the heat. Whether with wood or coal - the Atago runs hot, fast and reliably.
In combination with the Petromax Dutch Oven, the grill plate or the waffle iron, it becomes the centerpiece of every outdoor kitchen. A gift that is not only useful - but also creates experiences that you want to share immediately.
5th Dutch Oven ft9 starter set - The best start into the world of fire cooking
There are few things that feel as authentic as cooking with a cast iron Dutch Oven. The ft9 is big, heavy, powerful - and that's exactly why it's so good.
With a capacity of 7.5 liters, it easily provides dinner for friends, family or whole groups. It is just as at home on embers as it is on the barbecue or in the oven. And what is cooked in it always tastes a little better than in the kitchen.
The set contains everything you need to get started: lid lifter, maintenance paste, scraper.
It's a gift for people who are ready to prepare dishes outside that are reminiscent of home - only better. With every use, the patina becomes stronger, the aroma more intense and the bond with the pot stronger.
A gift that literally lasts for generations.

6th barbecue accessory set - for people who don't leave barbecuing to chance
For many outdoor fans, barbecuing is more than just making food. It is a craft. It's about heat, precision and control. And that's exactly what this set is made for.
The flexible turner works as precisely as a good knife. The tongs grip securely without slipping. The Kevlar®-reinforced barbecue gloves provide reliable protection and still feel flexible. And the Cabix Plus briquettes provide even, long-lasting heat - perfect for everything that ends up on the barbecue.
A gift that is not only practical, but also makes barbecues better, safer and more relaxed. A complete set for every barbecue master.

Bonus idea: The Petromax Adventure Camp - an experience that changes people
And then there is something that goes far beyond things.
Something that cannot be packed, but experienced.
The Petromax Adventure Camp is a weekend full of fire, nature, knowledge and real adventure. Here you cook, hammer, carve, explore, barbecue, build, try out and learn. You will experience how to cook with the simplest of tools, how fire really works, how to cope outdoors - and why all this makes you happy.
Participants go home with sooty hands, a warm belly, a full head and new skills.
It's a gift that leaves an impression. An experience that lasts. And a memory that is stronger than any object.

Conclusion: Good outdoor gifts write stories
If you want to give a gift to someone who is at home outdoors, then don't look for small things. Look for things that trigger emotions. Things that are used, loved, worn, taken along. Things that are indestructible and that write adventures.
This is exactly what Petromax stands for. And that's exactly what these gift ideas are made for.
