Shopping for an avid hiker? Maybe someone who loves backpacking? Or perhaps a bad-ass skier? Fortunately, REI’s Last Minute Gifts sale gets shoppers up to 30% off all kinds of outdoor essentials. There’s a Smith ski helmet available in every size for almost $100 off; a Garmin inReach Mini 2 for contacting the outside world via satellite and so much more.
There are even gifts for that one friend who’s more “outsidey” than outdoorsy. Solo Stove’s Mesa XL Fire Pit is a major hit, for example. And let’s face it: anyone could use CGear Multimats’ Sand-Free Picnic Mat. So check out some highlights from the sale, below. As long as you place the order by 9am PT on December 20, you’ll get two-day shipping with delivery before Christmas Day.
