If you are anything like our family, you have many adventures on the horizon for this summer. First, I would love to know what your summer plans are, or at least what you are most looking forward to! Leave us a comment below, and let us know what is on the top of your summer adventure list! And next, I (as an REI affiliate) want to make sure you know, that there is an excellent 4th of July Sale happening now until July 7, 2025, and in some cases beyond.
Here you’ll see just a quick selection of items that stood out to me, but head to the full site to see ALL THE DEALS. Navigate by category, gender, type of sport, and more in order to find the deals that best suit your family’s adventure needs! Are you an REI Member? If not, the $30 lifetime membership is more than worth your investment between member-only deals, coupons, yearly dividend, and more.

- Balega No-Show Socks: I purchased a pair of the Balega No-Show Socks in pink several months ago, and absolutely love them. They are comfortable, and supportive, and have held up well in the wash. They’ve become my go-to socks for working out at the gym.
- Matador Gear Cubes (Set of 3): A handy set of packing cubes that will not only help you stay organized while on the go, but they also include compression to help maximize space. I love that they are water resistant too!
- Matador FlatPak Zippered Toiletry Case: Lightweight AND leakproof. I love my toiletry organizer from L.L.Bean, but I could definitely use something to supplement that space, especially when packing sunscreen, aloe, and other beach/adventure essentials.
- Osprey Backpacks: Many of the Osprey backpacks are on sale until July 7th. We’ve been big fans of the Osprey line for daypacks, and especially their child carrier for years.
- Trailmade 2 Tent (with footprint): We purchased this tent when Bergen became a Boy Scout in 6th grade (he’s going into 8th grade now), and it has been on countless adventures from backpacking to car camping, to formal scout camp. I’ve used it too–it’s a breeze to set-up, and take down. Plus, it’s lightweight, and dries easily, Bergen camps year-round in Western Washington, these things are important!
- Sunday Afternoons Artist Series Trucker Hat: My absolute favorite hats, and they are being discontinued! The most comfortable hat(s), received a second one for Mother’s Day, I own, and the two left on the site happen to be the designs I have! There are many other Sunday Afternoons styles on sale too.
