Books, Outdoor Gear, Educational Toys, Picnic Utensils… and Everything Else!

Outdoor Gear

  • Thred Up - this online thrift store features all sorts of clothes (not just for outdoors). I’ve had great success searching for “REI” or “Patagonia” or “Cotopaxi” and finding great clothes and hiking shoes here! It’s really helpful to make an account and save your sizes/preferences to help narrow down results. Use this link for 45% and free shipping on your first order.

  • Iksplor Merino - Many adventurers swear by wearing wool clothing, even in warmer weather. Did you know merino wool is moisture-wicking, naturally sun-protective, and helps regulate your temperature? Iksplor Merino focuses on wool gear for families in the dreamiest colors. Use the code SOCALNATUREKIDS for 10% off your first order.

  • Stream 2 Sea - I’m always on the lookout for quality sunscreen for my family. Stream 2 Sea offers mineral-based, reef-safe sunscreen perfect for outdoor adventures! Use the code socalnaturekids for 10% off your order.

Travel

  • Guide Along audio tours - We have had the most delightful drives through Zion and Bryce Canyon, Rocky Mountain National Park, and along the Central Coast, while listening to Guide Along tours. They’re GPS-activated, even if you don’t have phone service. (I don’t know how this magic works!) So if you download to your phone ahead of time, then you’ll be driving along and the GPS knows to activate the audio tour at a certain point, enabling them to say, “On your right, you’ll see…” and you really see it. I pretty much never buy apps or downloads, but these are well worth the price. Use the code SOCALNATUREKIDS when you purchase.

  • Get Out Pass - The Southern California Get Out Pass offers admission to try out mini-golf, arcades, museums, and even Sesame Place in San Diego, all at a low price. (There are also Get Out Passes for other cities around the US). Use code SOCALNATUREKIDS for a special discount!

Education

  • Savvy Learning - Online, live, Zoom-style Reading or Math lessons — my family has loved learning with Savvy. Use the code NATURE to get $25 off every month on any of Savvy’s programs. Read more about our experience with Savvy Reading here.

  • Kiwi Co - Days when Kiwi Co boxes arrive are the best kind of mail days in our house. All four of my children love the creative projects that come from Kiwi Co — perfect for a rainy day or evening project.

  • Little Passports - If you have a child interested in geography or science, Little Passports boxes are a fun, hands-on way to learn and have fun!

  • Yoto Player - if my kids are home, chances are there’s at least one audiobook playing somewhere in our house. They can’t get enough! Each of my children has a Yoto Mini, and they’re perfect for screen-free audiobook listening at home and on the go.

  • Audible - Like I said… always listening to audiobooks! We use Audible books specifically to listen on Echo Dots, usually at bedtime.

Food

  • Thistle.co - I love ordering Thistle’s ready-to-go meals during busy weeks as easy mom self-care. They’re fresh and healthy, and it’s an easy way to care for myself so I’m not just eating my kids’ cold leftover chicken nuggets.

  • Skout Organic - I’m always on the hunt for easy, kid-friendly snacks to take on hikes and adventure days… bonus points if they’re good for you! Skout Organic bars fit the bill - I love their ingredients and fun flavors! Use the code SOCALNATUREKIDS for 20% off your first order.

  • Farm Fresh to You - For years we’ve been getting fresh, California-grown produce delivered straight to our door! Use the code KELL3636 for $15 off your first box.

Family Life

  • Mint Mobile - In a world of expensive things… I’m so glad my cell phone bill is so cheap! We’ve used Mint Mobile for several years and couldn’t be happier. I paid $240 last April for a YEAR of cell phone service, and it was only $20 to use my phone the entire time we were in Paris. Use this link for $15 in renewal credit.

  • Stitch Fix At least half my wardrobe is made up of Stitch Fix items… I love that they send clothes straight to my doorstep so I can try them on at home and then send back what doesn’t work. Use this link for $25 off your first box.
