REI
I know it seems a little early to start thinking about holiday shopping, but there’s nothing wrong with planning ahead. If there’s one type of person who’s always planning ahead, it’s the veteran camper/outdoor enthusiast. Not a camping trip goes by where my wife and her surprising number of Eagle Scout friends from high school haven’t been mapping everything out for weeks if not months. That type of planning deserves special attention in the gift-giving department, which is why my shopping list for my wife starts at REI.
REI GIFT CENTER
I’ve grown quite familiar with shopping at REI ever since I met my outdoorsy wife (a longtime proud Co-op member). You’d be hard-pressed to find a better customer service experience. I went into a store once to get fitted for a backpacking pack and couldn’t believe the knowledge and expertise that the sales rep had in terms of fitting; he knew everything about how the pack would comfortably rest to not strain my spine!
Don’t know what exactly to get someone? It’s understandable. It’s a huge store and there are so many wonderful things to buy. Fret not; an REI gift card is always a safe bet!
