4. OS Peak District PACMAT (compact family picnic blanket)
£44.99
Click here to purchase
For any outdoor loving family, a compact picnic mat is an essential item. Whether you’re hiking in the hills, off to the beach, or pulling over for a picnic on an epic road trip, it’s always handy to have a picnic mat to plonk your behind on.
Now there are a lot of picnic mats to choose from, and I suppose you could just use a blanket or towel. But for us, we always travel light and so we need a picnic mat that is compact, yet big enough for us all to sit on. Add in durable and waterproof material that is machine washable, and it’s a winner for us.
The compact, waterproof picnic mat – PACMAT – from Rubbastuff ticks all these boxes and we adore their PACMAT which features the OS map of the Peak District. A rather unique Peak District gift!
You can read our full review of the PACMAT here.

From £7.99

An Ordnance Survey map is an essential item for anyone planning a hike in the Peak District, whether it’s a short family hike, or a longer multi-day trek.

However, on the Ordnance Survey website, you can create a personalised OS Landranger Map that covers the area you need! Plus, by personalising it, it feels all the more special.

From £24.95
Click here to purchase
A beautiful book of Peak District photographs and words by local resident Suzanne, known as @peaklass.
‘It is a 152-page celebration of the small glimpses of countryside life that hold such immense beauty. From the first light of spring sunshine rising over the hills, to the swirling mists that weave through the valleys on late summer mornings. From the soft, damp stillness of autumn lanes, to the impossible silence of snow falling in the ancient woodlands. Presented seasonally, each photograph is accompanied by my words about the scene, place or image.’
