One of my favorite sections of Bass Pro Shops stores is the stuffed animal selection. There are so many adorable dogs, ducks, fish, and more. This Bass Pro Shops Giant Stuffed Bluegill for Kids is unusually popular with shoppers and has been available for decades. “My grandparents bought me this self same fish around twenty years ago now when I was a very young boy. So, you could imagine my elation when after all this time when he’s old and falling apart I find they still sell the exact same pillow! Excellent as a body pillow for support when sleeping, as bright and colorful as I remember!” writes one.

Considering Bass Pro Shops is a fishing-inspired store, it should come as zero surprise that one of the best-selling games is the Melissa & Doug Catch and Count Fishing Game Play Set, $32.99. Shoppers love the high-quality, as the set is made from wood. “My new grandson is 2 and he loves this toy. It helps him with learning to use his hands it requires some skill. He loves it! thanks,” writes a shopper. “This game was perfect for my two year old son. It works on colors, numbers, and hand eye coordination which is perfect for his age! He loves it and plays it daily!” another adds.

You can buy grills anywhere, but only at Bass Pro Shops will you find the Bass Pro Shops Trucker Cap Charcoal Grill on sale for just $19.98. “Super cool grill. Compact and portable!” writes a shopper. “Definitely a show stopper design. I have the bobber one too.” Another adds: “Love this little bbq. Best purchase ever, would highly recommend.”

If you have ever walked into a Bass store you are well aware that antlers are everywhere. Gift them with that spirit with the Bass Pro Shops Antler Bowl, $29.99. “I love them,” writes a shopper. If you don’t want a bowl, check out all the other antler gear the store has to offer.

Gift cards are really the primary item that most teachers want. “Teachers live off Amazon, Target, Walmart, so gift cards from these places are always useful,” my friend, who is a public school teacher in Philadelphia, tells me. However, don’t just write their name on the card and call it a day. A personalized note goes a long way. “It’s really nice to get a handwritten note,” she says. Tell them exactly how they are making your year memorable. “The recognition is often lacking,” she adds.

The bad news? Teachers do not want another coffee or travel mug. The reality is, they get so many every Christmas, they don’t have room for them. The good news? They really do want a Dunkin’ or Starbucks gift card. “We all need the caffeine in some form, whether it’s coffee, tea, or sugar,” my friend says.

While you can’t bring a teacher a bottle of booze to school, as it is, well, illegal, if they do consume alcohol, a gift certificate or gift card to a wine and spirits store is appreciated.

Do not bring a teacher food you made at home. “I will graciously accept home-cooked food, and then toss it promptly in the trash,” the teacher tells me. However, a gift certificate to their favorite dining spot, or an Uber Eats or DoorDash gift card, will be used. I buy these at Costco, where they are 20 percent off retail.

If you are shopping for a teacher who takes lots of pictures, a digital frame will be appreciated, but make sure they are tech-savvy. My pick? The Aura Mercer is $89 at Sam’s Club, while the Aura Carver is $99.99 on Costco’s website.

If you decide to go the scented route, whether bath products, body products, or candles, stay away from strong scents unless you are sure that’s what they like. My friend maintains that so many items have ended up straight in the trash because the scent is overpowering. “Be careful with scented items and opt for neutral scents,” she says. The whole Beekman 1802 line is a great neutral option, including this Pure Goat Milk Bodycare Discovery Kit.

“Teachers can never have enough hand cream,” she tells me, “as we are constantly washing our hands.” One of her favorite gifts of years past was an Aldi hand cream set that came with several different little tubes. This L’Oréal Paris Hand Cream Favorites Collection is a solid option, as it offers more elevated creams.

If you want to splurge on some designer athleisure, this Vuori Halo Performance Hoodie 2.0, on sale for $77.93 from $98.00, will put a smile on their face. The hoodie is comfortable and moisture-wicking. “This hoodie is perfect for hiking or lounging! Comfy and moisture-wicking. Wore it for a backpacking trip this weekend and it was perfect for layering,” writes a shopper. “I love this hoodie! For starters, it’s not cropped like so many tops now-a-days. Like most Vuori items it’s butter soft, stretchy, and light weight. The metal zipper doesn’t feel cheap. If you are between sizes I would size down, it’s roomy but not oversized by any means,” another adds.

OOFOS are another popular gift idea. The OOFOS OOahh Slide Sandals, $29.83 – $59.95, are perfect for everyone in the family. They absorb 37% more shock than other foam shoes and provide biomechanical support for sore feet. “First time wearing OOFOS men’s slides! What a comfortable, full support of my arch, feeling! Gonna give them time to get used to the new sensation!” one shopper writes. “I went to REI to purchase the HOKA recovery slides, but the feel of the OOFOS blew them away. These have exceeded my expectations and I find myself wearing them around my home on a daily basis. I will need to get a second pair to wear outside. Went on a 10.5 mile walk a few days ago and this OOFOS helped my recovery remarkably and I did not feel any true exhaustion in my legs. Extremely comfortable shoes,” another adds.

A pair of HOKA sneakers will also be appreciated, including the HOKA Transport Shoes, on sale for $120.93. “I’ve been wearing Hokas since getting a diagnosis of sesamoiditis in one foot. I wear my regular size with custom orthotics and have the cream color (for 2 years) and the all black. The cream are cuter so get worn more often. I put them in the washing machine on cold/gentle and let them air dry and they get pristine clean again. They’ve worn a bit likely from the washing but still look and feel great. Width runs true to size and fits my custom orthotics. I want a pair in most colors!” writes a shopper.

Another fun little gift? The North FaceTerra Lumbar 1 L Waist Pack, $20.93 – $30.00. “Must have accessory,” says a shopper. “This bag is a small, but mighty! It holds everything I need and is comfortable to wear all day. Extra zipper inside to hold small belongings and a made of material that could be thrown in the washing machine if needed. Very comparable to another popular brand, but this one is just better!! Would recommend to a friend and likely to buy another color if TNF makes them!”

There are lots of YETI products at REI, including the YETI Rambler Travel Mug – 20 fl. oz., on sale for $30.39. It has a leak-resistant lid, a grippy exterior, and a cup-holder-sized bottom. “Like the twist top, needs a little bit more in the opening for a straw. Not much just enough for metal one, maybe a millimeter or two. Love the handle! Need a bigger one,” one says. “Excellent mug! I have been waiting a long time to purchase this specific mug. I was traveling overseas and the brand was not available for purchase. Love the stronghold lid design.”

There are also food gifts at REI, like this Tony’s Chocolonely Chocolate Bars Rainbow Tasting Pack Package of 6. Get it for $13.95.  “I loved the packaging. It was fun and eye catching. I tried the milk chocolate carmel sea salt. It was delicious. I did try it right after getting delivered on a hot day, so it was a little soft but over delicious. Great value and picks,” writes a shopper.

The EOS Vanilla Cashmere line has been one of my favorites of 2025, and apparently, I’m not the only one. The EOS Shea Better Moisture Body Lotion – Vanilla Cashmere ($9.99), is super hydrating and smells refreshingly sweet but without overpowering you in fragrance, and is a great alternative to more expensive brands. “I love this stuff! Its my everyday all the time body lotion. I use it in the mornings and throughout the day… but when you put it on at night and climb into bed it just smells wonderful. Price is great. I also use Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and Jose Maran Vanilla Bean body butter (yum to both) but those are way way pricier so this is my main one with those being for every few days in between,” writes one shopper.

The EOS Body Mist – Vanilla Cashmere ($12.99) is another wish list favorite. “Yummm, smells just like the lotion! I love this scent, I have it in the body wash as well so it’s like a mini collection.
