REI Is Packed With Under-$50 Travel Gifts From Stanley, The North Face, and More-Up to 75% Off

"If you find yourself sticking to a tighter budget this holiday season, you're not alone. Between raising rent prices and grocery costs, the 2025 gift-giving season is shaping up to be one of the most frugal in recent memory. Still, you can check loved ones off of your holiday list and get them a travel gift they'll cherish forever while sticking to your financial goals-the trick is to take advantage of sales from retailers like REI, and use price caps to guide your shopping."

"REI has one of the best sales sections for those looking to spend less for high-quality gear that will keep you outside longer. The outdoor authority has hundreds of holiday discounts that are under $50 across the site, including Coleman camp chairs and The North Face hoodies; but there are also hundreds of other non-clearance products that are $50 or less,"

"These colorful, cozy Cotopaxi Teca Fleece Gloves, $30, would make a great stocking stuffer-and this $42 Stanley 12-piece Wildfare Fry Pan Cook Set is bound to get a smile from the camper or frequent tailgater in your circle. Meanwhile, road trippers and avid hikers would get a kick out of this National Parks-themed Nomadix Original Towel that's just $40."
