4. Festival Toiletries Gifts
It is important to take good care of yourself to keep yourself clean at a festival. This means that you will need to wash or freshen up yourself from time to time. Below are some handy festival toiletries gifts to consider.

Make a cute festival pack with everything you need: mini deo, mini shampoo, mini conditioner, soap, wet wipes, cotton balls, night cream, and so on! There are also ready-made festival packs, such as this Toiletry Travel Convenience Kit.

It is incredibly important to protect yourself from the sun at a festival. Not only by putting on sunscreen, but also by dressing appropriately, such as wearing a cap or Fishing Hat. The Fishing Hat above is even adjustable, so it always fits.
Bandana
A bandana captures sweat from your forehead and looks cool too! A bandana can also be used to keep the neck cool or to protect hair from rain. Bandanas come in all kinds of colors and prints, so there is always one to match your look.

8. Festival Fannypack / Bumbag Gift
Finding the right festival backpack can be quite a task. For on the festival grounds I always recommend a fanny pack, this has just enough room to carry all the important stuff, plus your arms are free. Nowadays there are many nice fannypacks (bumbags) on the market, take a look.
Shiny Fanny Pack
A Shiny Fannypack looks super cute and is also very practical. You can put all your stuff in it and the material repels rain. Also, the above fannypacks are adjustable. Size bag: 34 x 10 x 5.5 cm / 13.4 x 3.9 x 2.2 inches.

Leather fannypack
Want a slightly more stylish look? Then go for a Leather Fanny Pack. This fannypack has no less than 7 pockets and is made of genuine leather. The fannypack can be used as a crossbody bagm shoulder bag, travel pack or festival daypack.
Tip: If you have a slightly more budget, it is also nice to give a polaroid camera as a gift, that way all the fun moments can be instantly captured forever! Is the festival-goer who you are buying a gift for a fan of certain artists? Then you can also choose to buy an LP, assuming that he or she has an LP player. After all, LP’s are totally hot again!
