The co-op celebrates the gifting season with well-timed promotions, starting with its annual Holiday Sale from November 14 - 24. Following the sale, customers can look forward to even more festive savings throughout December—including some exclusive deals just for co-op members. REI Co-op members always get free shipping and everyone can enjoy it on orders over $60. For packages to arrive using standard delivery by December 25, orders must be placed by 9 a.m. PT on December 18. 

Invite Someone Outside 

For a gift that goes beyond the season, consider a REI Co-op membership for a lifetime of outdoor adventure. For a one-time $30 fee, members enjoy year-round benefits, including discounts on bike and ski shop services, free shipping, an extended satisfaction guarantee, access to used gear through Re/Supply, a share of the co-op's annual profits based on qualifying purchases in the form of a Member Reward, and more.  

Gifts are a great way to spark adventure, but the co-op knows the real joy is spending quality time outside. Since 2015, REI has closed its doors on Black Friday, inviting employees, members, and communities to trade shopping lines for tree lines. OptOutside is more than a tradition; it’s a commitment to making space for fresh air, big views, and shared moments that last far beyond the holidays.
