For the outdoor-adventure-minded, there's no place like REI.
A veritable wonderland of all things outdoors from camping stoves to stand-up paddleboards and sleeping bags, it's our go-to for a one-stop shop before setting out into the wilds.
Below, we've rounded up some of our favorites from within and without the co-op, and if it's an experience that they're after, REI has you covered there, too.
Outdoorsy folk can be a fussy bunch, and rightfully so. After all, this is stuff they, and often their very lives, truly depend upon. Still, this makes shopping for them an endeavor. Would they dangle from a cliff with this carabiner? Are the straps on that rucksack up for the Appalachian Trail? Will these boots blow out in a year or two, halfway up or down a mountain? These are serious considerations one doesn't necessarily go through when purchasing gifts at, say, Macy's.
We've taken care to conduct a whole lot of testing and research to pull together what we've found to be the best REI has to offer throughout its wide array of categories.
So whether it's for your girlfriend, your father, your aunt, or your grandmother who just happens to be an itinerant adventure junkie, there's something for all below. And if nothing strikes your fancy, a $20 lifetime REI Co-op membership and a gift card will never do them wrong.

Arbor makes some of the prettiest snowboards around, and whether you know it or not, they've probably longingly admired one of these on the slopes or through a storefront window.
Leatherman's best known for its clunkier, more equipped "Free" and "Wave" models, which they probably already own. Get them something just as trusty but much more packable for longer treks where every ounce counts.
That cheap, ultra-light aluminum cookware set gets hot plenty fast, but it also burns the daylights out of everything all too easily. Get them something they can actually cook on out there.
There's a lot of peace of mind in knowing that your thousands of dollars in snow gear is safely locked on your roof, and almost as much in knowing that there's a little more room inside the car on ski trips this year.
An inflatable SUP to keep in their trunk for paddling whenever, wherever
