Spring has finally arrived, and what better way to kick off the season than by going camping, hiking, or outdoor adventuring? Whether you’re headed on a week-long backpacking trip through Glacier National Park or just to your local park for a picnic in the sunshine, Yeti is a one-stop-shop for all the gear you need to make your trip stress-free. With its sturdy, trustworthy products—like its well-known line of coolers and drinkware—and its classic design, there’s nowhere Yeti feels out of place. I’m personally a fan of their leakproof water bottles and mugs, which are great for those on the go.

Score 20% off the limited-edition Cherry Blossom collection at Yeti
In honor of cherry blossom season, Yeti’s Cherry Blossom collection is 20% off online and in select stores. You may not be able to make it all the way to Japan or Washington, DC, to view the famous flowers in person, but with Yeti’s sale, you can get in on the excitement with some themed gear. From cherry blossom-pink backpacks, water bottles, and coolers to blossom-covered patches, hats, and shirts, there are so many ways to get in the spirit of this spring event. I’m personally eying the Hopper M12 backpack soft cooler which is a dream for lugging food and drinks to and from Central Park for a picnic, and the Rambler 6 oz. stackable mugs which brighten up morning coffee time. This offer only applies to the line of cherry blossom products and is subject to change.
Save even more with the Rambler Buy Back program
Holding on to a damaged, old, or past-its-peak Rambler? Before you head over to Yeti to purchase a replacement, be sure to take your old Yeti drinkware into the store to take advantage of the brand’s Buy Back program. If you, for whatever reason, decide you no longer want your old Rambler, you can take it into participating stores to receive $5 off your next qualifying purchase. You can return up to 10 Ramblers at one time, and will receive an additional $5 off per Rambler to use on every $25 you spend in-store. No matter what state your Rambler is in—scuffed and scratched from your last camping trip, dented from a steep fall, or just an old color you’re no longer interested in—it qualifies for the Buy Back program. Plus, it makes it easy for you to dispose of and recycle the old drinkware without having to figure out how to do so yourself.
Select customers can get 20% off with Yeti’s military discounts, first responder discounts, and student discounts
Did you know that you can get up to 20% off your Yeti purchases based on your job or veteran status? There are plenty of people who can take advantage of this discount: Active duty military, veterans, and retirees qualify for these savings, as do first responders like police officers, firefighters, and EMS providers (and retirees in these fields). Nurses and other healthcare workers are also able to reap the rewards, as are teachers, school employees, and college professors. Plus, government employees at federal, state, and local levels can also score the deal. Savings are applicable on a wide range of eligible products, from fan-favorites like the 20 oz. Rambler tumbler to camping gadgets like the Rambler Pour Over for making coffee on the trails. To find out if you qualify (and what products apply to your savings), head to Yeti’s website where you can verify your identity through ID.me.

If you don’t already know, Yeti makes more than just drinkware, coolers, and food storage. They also offer a wide array of luggage pieces and travel accessories. If you’re looking for a travel bag on a budget, Yeti’s offers start at just $25.
