The runner in your life will be delighted by this purpose-built waist pack. It’s exactly the right size to comfortably carry just what you need and nothing more. The REI Co-op Swiftland Waist Pack has room in its zippered main compartment to hold a phone, keys, and a small water flask, while a smartly designed side pocket makes snacks easy to grab.
Stretchy, breathable, and durable materials ensure long-lasting comfort for any pace. The next best thing to pitching a tent under the stars? At least if it’s this miniature version of REI Co-op’s legendary Half Dome tent.
For anyone who loves camping and backpacking, the tiny tent serves as a reminder of their next adventure—as well as a cozy napping spot for a small pet. And it may be mini-size but the Tiny Half Dome Tent is full-featured: It sets up just like a real shelter with plastic poles and has zippered side doors with mesh windows and tiebacks, a removable rainfly, and a mesh roof. This comfy beanie hits the holiday trifecta—fashion and function and affordability.
Featuring The North Face’s iconic logo on the front, the beanie’s soft, rib-knit yarn provides plenty of warmth for chilly campsites and après-ski outings, while the cuffed look and classic silhouette fit in anywhere. Plus, the material is made with 97% recycled polyester—it’s always a good idea to rock recycled threads. If you have a special someone who likes to linger outside—hanging with friends, stargazing, tending the fire—with a beverage in hand, they’ll love the colorful fleece KAVU Drink Mitt.
