Buying for someone who lives for festival season? These are the things we'd actually want to unwrap: gear that fixes a real problem at a real festival, not a novelty that ends up in a drawer. We don't list prices here because they change daily, and during Black Friday week they can change by the hour. Tap through to see today's price.

Small gifts that get used every festival
- Loop Quiet earplugs, for sleeping through camp noise and turning the volume down near the speakers.
- The Soft Landings blackout sleep mask, for anyone who has woken up in a tent at sunrise.
- A phone lanyard kit or a 2nd-gen AirTag (iPhone users) for their bag or wallet.
- Rechargeable hand warmers for cold nights at winter, fall and desert shows.
- Electrolyte packets for long hot days.
For the camper
- A blackout tent, so they can sleep past sunrise: the Coleman Dark Room 4. Our blackout tent guide compares the options.
- A camp chair that holds up for four nights.
- A rechargeable tent fan for hot afternoons without a generator.
- Good light: a rechargeable headlamp and a rechargeable lantern.
- Sealed dust goggles for desert fests and windy campgrounds.
Big gifts: power for camp or the RV
A portable power station is the gift that changes how they camp: phones, lights, fans and even a 12V fridge, with no generator. Check the festival's rules first, since some ban generators but allow battery power. Our Power & Solar collection has the full range. Good places to start:
- Jackery Explorer 300 or BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 for phones, lights and a fan over a weekend.
- Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 or BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 for bigger camps and RV weekends.
- Add a solar panel like the Goal Zero Nomad 100 so it recharges in camp.
For winter and NYE shows
A heated vest (women's), merino base layers and touchscreen gloves. See our cold-weather festival guide and the Cold Weather collection.
Ready-made kits
Our holiday festival kits bundle the basics: the Night Ride Kit, Dust Defense Kit and Desert Day Kit. Each piece is its own listing, so they arrive in more than one box.
Dustproof curates gear. You buy it on Amazon or from the brand, and they ship it. We may earn a commission. Affiliate disclosure
