These are our favorite, tried-and-true travel gear and home life items that have stood the test of time. With 8 people in our home or when we travel, we try to only purchase items that are really worth their cost (and their travel weight). I hope this helps you, too!<\/p>\n REI\u2019s biggest sale of the year<\/a> is an amazing time to pick up some high quality gear at an affordable price. Below are some favorite items on big sale. Members can also use the code ANNIV2025 for 20% off a full-price item and an outlet item. (It\u2019s only $30 for a lifetime membership<\/a>, and you get lots of perks like this coupon. And right now, you get a $30 bonus card with a $50 purchase!)<\/p>\n I\u2019ve also shared lots of other favorites in the below blog posts. <\/p>\n My beloved Dime clean skincare is a huge 30% off for Memorial Day with the code LOCALPASSPORTFAMILY. I especially love the blue facial oil \u2013 it keeps my skin super clear and moisturized, especially when traveling. I also really love the dewy day cream, and my teens love the jelly cleanser. I stocked up on my favorite items that I mix in with my favorite Crude Oil <\/a>cleanser (LOCALPASSPORTFAMILY will get you 20% off there).<\/p>\n I also super love\u00a0Biossance<\/a>\u00a0clean skincare. I always use a mix of these items and my Dime<\/a> favorites. Here are some of my faves:<\/p>\n I\u2019ve found so many smoking deals at the J. Crew Factory<\/a> site! Some of my favorite tops are from there. I got a very similar top to this<\/a> last year and have worn it tons and tons. I\u2019m purchasing this<\/a> and this<\/a> for summer!<\/p>\n Target is having a huge sale on clothing & swimwear<\/a> for the whole fam. Perfect time to get these summer items if you\u2019re looking.<\/p>\n My very favorite brow & lash serums (that saved my eyelashes after they started falling out after having baby S) is on super sale and my code PREETHI15<\/strong> stacks!<\/p>\n We adore our Rumpl puffy blanket<\/a> \u2013 it\u2019s warm and super easy to clean for taking outside, and packs down small. I perhaps love the Everywhere Mat<\/a> even more \u2013 folds down super small, waterproof underside, a cinch to clean. Perfect for summer adventures. <\/p>\n I\u2019ve been using these workout videos<\/a> for years and I love how easy it is. You can filter by type of workout or length and it\u2019s just so simple to have an easy option at home. It is absolutely WILD that you can get a year of access to classes for only 50 cents. It\u2019ll initially show the $0.75 summer promo, but a pop up should come up a few seconds in that gives it to you for only $0.50.<\/p>\n You can also turn off auto renew with just a few clicks (click on your initials in the top right, then on membership and it\u2019ll show the option to not auto renew)! Seriously no catch and it\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n I love the Boden style both for me and for my girls but it\u2019s a bit pricey normally. But they currently have some huge discounts. All my favorite dresses are from here! I got this one<\/a> a few months ago and have worn it nonstop \u2013 it\u2019s been my go-to for several trips, too, because it\u2019s super comfy and cute but also modest for churches and other religious sites. (I also love that Boden<\/a> has tall and petite sizes \u2013 I have a really short torso so always need petite dresses!)<\/p>\n Brooklinen<\/a> makes our favorite sheets\/duvet sets. Dan and I have these on our bed and they\u2019re truly the best sheets we\u2019ve ever used (and we\u2019ve tried quite a few). They\u2019re super well made and high end without being astronomically priced, and I love the story of how this husband-and-wife team got their business started.<\/p>\n The Guardian bikes<\/a> are our very favorite ones for kids. They are truly unmatched when it comes to safety and durability, and have the best customer service, too. More about why we love them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n These bikes almost never go on sale, but they\u2019re currently up to 33% off!<\/p>\n I\u2019ve talked many times before<\/a> about how much we love our Beddy\u2019s zip up bedding<\/a>. I will honestly never<\/em> again do bunk beds without these \u2013 they make life so much easier. I also really love them on mine and Dan\u2019s bed in the back of the RV so they don\u2019t slide around and make a small space look neat and tidy.<\/p>\n They\u2019re having a sale of buy one, get one 50% off for Memorial Day so it\u2019s a great time to purchase if you\u2019ve been considering them.<\/p>\n My fave denim, forever and always.<\/p>\n We adore these jammies and swimsuits and they\u2019re the only ones that have lasted through SIX KIDS.<\/p>\n We really love the Gabb phone and watches<\/a> to be in touch with our kids when necessary and helpful, but while not providing them a bunch of access they don\u2019t need. These devices allow our kiddos to call and text, but don\u2019t allow images, Internet, etc. (More about our experience with the Gabb devices here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Code PASSPORT should automatically be applied.<\/p>\n I got a pair of Sunski<\/a> sunglasses last year and have loved them. I have a fairly narrow face and have never in my life been able to find sunglasses that don\u2019t slide off my face constantly. <\/p>\n We\u2019ve had a Craftsy subscription<\/a> for about 3 years and it\u2019s so awesome. There are soooo many different options for online classes for adults & kids \u2013 drawing, painting, sewing, cake decorating, paper airplane making, yoga, and so much more. I love having this in my pocket for school holidays or rainy days. Definitely worth less than a dollar to have the option!<\/p>\n H&M is my go-to for my kids\u2019 clothes. The Euro cuts work much better on my narrow kiddos, and I like that they have a \u201cconscious\u201d line, as well, and have times when you can bring old clothes to recycle. They rarely have sitewide sales, so it\u2019s a great time to pick up summer essentials or to get ready for fall and school clothes.<\/p>\n Backcountry<\/a> is doing a big sale with tons of outdoor gear items included. It\u2019s a great time to look for items for summer season or thinking ahead to cold weather. Get up to 30% off plus an extra 20% off sale items!<\/p>\n This is one of the best sales of the year from Hanna<\/a>. Tons of really quality clothing at huge discounts.<\/p>\n Old Navy<\/a> is having one of their biggest sales of the year. So many huge deals on clothing, swimsuits, pajamas, and more for everyone in the family.<\/p>\n I looove all the Rifle Paper Company<\/a> prints and they\u2019re having a sale on the whole site of 25% off, including an extra 25% off the sale items<\/a>. Here are some favorites:<\/p>\n Our favorite bath and skincare items are on sale! They are our favorites because they are super gentle (even safe for teeny babies), have clean ingredients, and smell amazing. They only have sitewide sales a couple times a year so that\u2019s always when I stock up. Here are some of our favorites:<\/p>\n A bunch of other places are having great sales.
