What better way to kick off our store’s opening than with the arrival of the Man Card Bottle Opener? Forged from stainless steel, this killer bottle opener not only excels at its namesake but protects your wallet at the same time. Did we mention it comes emblazoned with a mustache? To celebrate our store’s opening, we’re offering a two-pack at 22% off, making these bad boys only $19.99.

Fancy yourself a budding Ansel Adams? Well, there are few accessory packs as loaded as the Acesori 5 Piece Smartphone Camera Lens Kit which essentially transforms your basic smartphone camera into an artistically powerful rig for a cool $9.99 — roughly $40 off its original price. Complete with fisheye, macro, and wide-angle lenses, you’ll have a blast capturing all those sunny days and late nights summer has to offer.

Last, though certainly not least, if these amazing deals seem a bit overwhelming, why not go with a pair of tried and true socks? Make your dollar really stretch with our Happy Socks: Pay $39 for $60 of Site-Wide Credit deal. Here’s the skinny — spend $39 on a few pairs of one-of-a-kind business casual socks and get $60 in credit to spend sitewide at HappySocks. In other words, this is a deal that’s way too good to pass up.

Enjoy!

Deal or no deal, Caputo and Co.’s men’s bracelets are worth a look ahead of Black Friday

Various Caputo and Co. bracelets.

While recently reviewing Nordstrom's wares for our coverage of Black Friday deals, I had an unusual experience — something went out of stock as I was writing about it. Then, I noticed other items (from the same brand) on a low stock alert. Had I found a trend? Maybe, maybe not, but I was intrigued enough to give the brand a further look. I think you might want to as well. These bracelets, which typically run from about $50 to $150, have captivating designs, unique energy, and are quite eye-catching. Tap the button below to look at what's left, or keep reading to learn more about these intriguing bracelets for men.

Jason McCarthy explores GORUCK’s unplanned beauty and inspiration

GORUCK 25L Ruckers SRT 259 bag on Rucking community member

GORUCK was founded by two militant masterminds, one with time in the American Special Forces and the other from the CIA. More specifically, Jason and Emily McCarthy, who both had a hand in bringing the brand's signature traits to life. The initial goal was to create a rucksack that could hold up to military-grade standards. From there, without compromising on a single element, the brand grew into the powerhouse it is today, offering outdoor and travel gear, footwear, apparel, and more. It's an integral part of the rucking movement, a low-impact exercise with military roots in which you walk with a weighted rucksack. If you want some gear that will go the distance, that's rough, tough, and ready to rock, is the place to shop.

We chatted with Jason McCarthy about that formative journey and what's in store for the future. Grab yourself a snack, maybe a drink, and let's get into it.

This REI Winter Sale is basically an early Black Friday event — You need to see these prices

Man sitting outdoors -- Feature for REI Winter Sale early Black Friday event

While everyone else is busy shopping the most popular Black Friday deals on electronics, like TVs, tools, games, and all that nonsense, I like to spend my time shopping for things I actually need. You know what I mean. The gear that rarely goes on sale or sees those deep discounts we all know and love. A perfect example is fall and winter gear, from clothing, jackets, and other apparel, to camping, climbing, travel, fitness supplies, and more. Right now, one of the best places to shop for all of that stuff, at great prices, is REI. You can expect to save up to 30% off gear and clothing in a wide variety of categories.

What to shop in the REI Winter Sale on gear and clothing

It seems obvious, but I would recommend sitting down and either considering or figuring out what gear you and your family need this winter. Actually, sit down and figure out if there's any gear you'll need for the coming year. Some of the items on sale are usable year-round, like camping, hiking, and fitness gear. But let's provide some examples. In the REI Winter Sale, you can save up to 30% off The North Face apparel, up to 30% off outdoor electronics like Garmin, BioLite, and more, up to 25% off footwear, including boots, and up to 50% off jackets. Again, those are just some quick examples. There are a ton of other options in this sale.
