Give the ‘Gift of Go’ This Year With 25% Off Hydro Flask Water Bottles and More

This year has inspired more of us than ever to get outdoors and explore. We’re hiking, camping, road-tripping, boating, and RV’ing in record numbers. All that exploring requires the right gear. From essentials like water bottles and daypacks to even-more-essentials like outdoor coffee mugs and insulated wine tumblers, Hydro Flask has your back. Hydro Flask’s 2020 holiday gift guide is encouraging you to give the Gift of Go. Whatever “go” means to you — whether you’re a backcountry explorer, park picnicker, weekend warrior, or urban commuter — there’s an “on-the-move” gift for you, your friends, and family. True to the brand’s roots, most of the products are designed to keep you well hydrated (it’s in the name). But, there are plenty of niche gifts for coffee drinkers, mobile wine connoisseurs, and every beverage lover in-between.

This year’s Gift of Go holiday gift guide isn’t just for inspiration. Right now, Hydro Flask is offering sitewide savings of 25% off everything. Plus, when you order $30 or more, shipping is free. So stock up, give well, and stay hydrated — you and yours deserve it.

Toyota’s ‘convertible’ Land Cruiser ROX concept is beyond cool
The open-top one-off is wider, wilder, and more fun than any other Toyota concept in recent memory.
Toyota Land Cruiser ROX Concept parked on a ridge in the backcountry.

Fresh from this year's SEMA event, this Toyota "convertible" is among the coolest Land Cruiser concepts we've seen in years. The design, a brainchild of Toyota's North American design studio, Calty Design Research, is distinctly LC while taking a clear stab at both the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco. It's an overlander's dream — bolder, wilder, and more fun than almost any other Toyota on the market.

Calty had a hand in the creation of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 250, and it shows. This concept, dubbed the Land Cruiser "ROX" (an acroynm for "Recreation Open eXperience"), is a nod to the LC's open-air, open-top heritage. The redesign process involved swapping more than 50% of the vehicle's OEM parts, from the sheet metal to the glass and beyond.

Will Tic Tac containers save your camping experience?
A camp stove cooking food with a desert landscape blurred in the background

For a lot of campers, simple food while out in the wild is the go-to. While that might be okay for some, you shouldn't have to settle for bland fare if you don't want to! A flavorful meal while in the outdoors can elevate your camping experience. We've covered how to do this before, but here's a whole new thing to try: repurposing your empty Tic Tac containers to hold spices.

That's right — don't throw them out! Believe it or not, Tic Tac containers are perfect for this purpose. They're small, compact, and have a flexible plastic lid that can open and close repeatedly without breaking. Try using them for all your favorite spices: salt, pepper, garlic powder, whatever you like! You can also use them to store dry herbs such as thyme, oregano, and basil. Just use a clean funnel for a mess-free transfer.

Adaptable to any outdoor scenario
4Patriots Cooler on the grass outside

As a full-time road-tripper and camping enthusiast, I've committed a lot of time to figuring out how to transport cold food from point A to point B without spending a fortune on ice or risking food spoilage. That's why I was thrilled when I came across 4Patriots' Solar Go-Fridge. The company promises all of the stylings of a luxury solar cooler with portability and simplicity.
But how does it actually hold up in the great outdoors? Can it handle the transition from the trunk to the campsite, and how does it perform on those scorching hot days? I've put the 4Patriots Solar Go-Fridge to the test and am happy to share my results.
