Although the Solo Stove Bonfire Pit gets solid reviews, it’s not made in USA and it’s made of thinner steel. The Breeo Double Flame Patio Fire Pit gets the best reviews, is more rugged (it weighs twice as much), is still portable and is made in Pennsylvania. The height adjustable swing-away grill is excellent for that open flame flavor. The best part is that once it heats up there is virtually no smoke! Compared to the Solo, The Double Flame is better for the backyard, it’s made of thicker 304 stainless steel and will last for years. An awesome gift. Find it at Amazon…

Soft, famously durable and warm, The Pendleton Twin Wool Camp Blanket is a lifetime purchase. Make a fire and grab the blanket until it warms up. We have one my mother bought as birthday gift, now years later my daughter has “acquired” it. Originally made for cold Pacific Northwest nights, and still woven there today. These blankets are perfect for a camp and look great on the couch. A rugged, soft family heirloom proudly made in the USA that will last a lifetime. Comes in Green Heather, Lake, and Mineral Umber (shown). Find it at Amazon…
