The lantern is camping's least glamorous hero — until dusk, when it becomes the centre of the site. A rechargeable one ends the ritual of hoarding loose batteries in a ziplock, and it moonlights beautifully as blackout insurance in a Canadian ice-storm winter.
The verdict
Give it to the camper, the cottage host, or frankly any household without a plan for the next blackout. It's the kind of unassuming gift people thank you for months later, usually mid-storm.
