REI’s Best Camping Gifts Include Yeti and Stanley Deals

As someone who’s received and given a lot of camping gifts over the years, I couldn’t be more excited to sort through REI’s Co-op Favorites, a dedicated landing page for the brand’s top-rated products. It’s filled with thoughtful gift ideas for the campers in our lives who may need an upgraded hard cooler or soft cooler, better water bottles, and more. There are quite a few camping deals, too, with up to 41% off on gear Stanley tumblers and Black Diamond headlamps. Plus, you can sign up for a $30 REI membership if you don’t already have one to get a special 20% discount on selected gear, including Yeti hard coolers, Cotopaxi backpacks, and more.

Yeti Tundra 45 Cooler

Every camper needs a reliable hard cooler. Yeti makes some of our favorite coolers, and the Tundra 45 model is a great gift, especially for campers who love to cook. Yeti coolers can keep contents cold for days, which is ideal for a long weekend in the woods. With an REI membership, this top-performing cooler is $60 off.

Yeti Hopper Hopper Flip 12 Soft Cooler

For your outdoorsy loved one who likes to take lunch the park or enjoy the sea breeze at a beach, the Yeti Hopper is our top pick for a soft cooler that’s efficient and easy to pack. The zipper opens and closes smoothly and the strap is comfortable on the shoulders, especially when the cooler is filled.

Stanley IceFlow Straw Tumbler

Nothing says “I love you” quite like giving the gift of hydration. Some of our favorite water bottles come from Stanley, whose IceFlow straw tumbler has vacuum-insulated technology and an integrated straw that easily folds up or down. At only $26, it’s the ideal gift for the hydration-minded adventurer.

Rumpl NanoLoft Puffy Travel Blanket

I gifted myself one of these a few years ago and now I never go anywhere without it. Whether I’m at the campground or an airport gate, this travel blanket provides warmth, comfort, and style in any environment. It packs down to the size of a water bottle, so I never have to worry about how it will fit into my bags.

Teva ReEmber Slip-Ons

I received a pair of these ReEmber slip-ons years ago, and they’re still my go-to camp slippers to this day. They hold up very well to campground wear and tear and are extremely comfortable. The soles are grippy enough to provide stability in the uneven terrain of the woods, but the body of the shoe itself feels like a sleeping bag for your feet.

Black Diamond Astro 300 Headlamp

This $15 headlamp would make a great stocking stuffer for the camper who’s always misplacing their flashlight. The efficient Black Diamond lamp can run on a rechargeable battery and outputs up to 300 lumens. It can also deliver 150 lumens on medium and 60 lumens on low to meet a wide range of camp lighting needs. Thanks to its weather-resistant design, it can withstand rain or sleet to keep your campsite illuminated, in even damp conditions.

Osprey Daylite Pack Special Edition

If you’re shopping for a trail runner or day trip hiker, this Osprey backpack is light, sturdy, and has a structured back for maximum comfort on the trails. The large compartments also make it easy to locate gear while moving.

Cotopaxi Allpa 35-Liter Travel Pack

As someone who’s owned this exact backpack for years now, I can report that it’s incredibly well-built, having withstood camping trips, international travel, and more. The interior compartments keep contents organized and the water-resistant exterior can handle a drizzle or downpour. With an REI membership, it’s $45 off.

Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Cushion Socks

To make sure your favorite hiker doesn’t have freezing feet on their next mountaintop adventure, grab them a pair of these Darn Tough hiking socks that are designed to provide extra cushion and comfort. Now just $20 with an REI membership, the merino wool socks keep toes warm while wicking away moisture. The reinforced heels and toes ensure that these socks will last through miles and miles of rugged trails.
