Fluorescent lantern, classic liquid-fueled lantern among suggested holiday gift items
Coleman® 8D Classic Heritage U-Tube Lantern
RYE, N.Y. - Don’t let power outages or moonless nights keep you in the dark. With the 4D Retro Personal-Size Lantern from Coleman, you can have up to 30 hours of illumination from the power of four D-cell batteries. Featuring the classic look of a Coleman® lantern, this is Coleman’s brightest personal lantern. Its replaceable 7-watt spiral tube fluorescent bulb stays cool to the touch, making it perfect for use by children as well as adults in tents or at home any time the electricity goes. Two brightness settings provide options and allow battery conservation. (MSRP: $22.99)
Portable Slow Cooker for Tailgaters
Cold weather calls for hot foods. Here’s a great gift for the tailgater on your holiday shopping list – the Coleman® RoadTrip® Heat-’N Serve™ Portable Cooker. Made of stainless steel, this cooker holds six quarts and is perfect for soups, chili, stews and dips. Powered by disposable 16.4-ounce propane cylinders, Coleman’s new portable cooker offers outdoor cooking options previously unavailable to tailgaters and campers. Think of it almost like a Crock-Pot® slow cooker that doesn’t need an electrical outlet. It was built for good times with friends and family outdoors. (MSRP: $59.99)
Give Classic Coleman this Christmas
Classic gear holds a special place in every outdoorsman’s heart. Veteran woodsmen will recall fondly myriad memories while neophytes will treasure the prospects when they unwrap a piece of equipment regarded as legendary. This Christmas, give the time-tested Coleman® Model 288 gas lantern, recently inducted into Field & Stream Magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame for outdoor gear. Still manufactured in traditional forest green, this classic two-mantle lantern provides brilliant but adjustable light for family campsites, fishing excursions and hunt camps across the land. It is passed from generation to generation within some families. Beyond its great outdoors DNA, a Coleman lantern is a fine emergency light when the electricity fails and outside lighting is needed. It is widely available, as are other liquid fuel Coleman lantern models. (MSRP: $39.99)
Kids’ Tent an Indoor Treehouse
Kids love tents. Period. Like to set them up. Like to play in them. Like to sleep in them -- indoors or outdoors. It is their space, their special place and safer than a tree house. Coleman’s MilkyWay™ Kids Tent is free-standing, meaning no stakes or guy lines are needed to set it up, although they can be used outside to keep it in place on a windy day. It is simple to set up with its three-pole assembly. Measuring 80 by 60 inches with a center height of 38 inches, this tent is plenty spacious to sleep two or three kids. It features rugged, waterproof floors, durable polyester fabric walls with polyurethane coating and a rainfly for weather protection. Large mesh panels in the ceiling allow excellent ventilation. No secret handshakes required to enter … well, maybe. (MSRP: $29.99)
A Bed for Bowser
Don’t forget about the family pet or your trusty huntin’ dog this Christmas. They deserve a bone, no doubt, but will likely appreciate even more Coleman’s new Rectangular Dog Bed. The medium size (26 x 34 inches) fits pooches 30 to 50 pounds, and three other sizes are available. It features 3.5 inches of cushioning that is sure to spoil your four-legged buddy. The cover combines a tough polyoxford cloth with soft fleece, and it is completely washable. Bowser will feel at home everywhere he goes with one of these in tow. (MSRP: $44.99)
