Your friends and family don't want the latest trending holiday gift. Trends come and go. They want something they can use — something that will last. If you want to give a "cool" gift that's also practical and well worth the money, consider giving your loved ones a cooler this year.
Lifetime Products high-performance coolers can keep food and beverages cold for up to seven days. They are roomy, durable, easy to use and more affordable than other high-end alternatives.
They make great gifts for virtually anyone on your list because they're highly versatile. You can use them for parties, trips, food storage — you name it.
Here's a quick look at just a few coolers anyone in your life would appreciate receiving.
A backyard barbecue cooler
No one likes people traipsing through the house to grab a cold drink from the fridge when you're hosting a backyard barbeque. A cooler stocked with all your favorite beverages fixes that problem.
Lifetime Products coolers come in a variety of sizes — from 28 quarts all the way up to 115 quarts. And if you're looking for a water cooler, they've got those, too.
A cooler for camping
For the outdoorsy friend on your list, a cooler could be a welcome addition to their camping gear. If they're seasoned campers, they likely have a cooler already — but maybe not one that's up to Lifetime's quality level. What makes these coolers great for camping is that they can retain ice for up to nine days and are weather- and bear-resistant.
"Bought this a couple months ago and have taken it camping multiple times," one water cooler reviewer shared. "The shape makes it super easy to pack with all our other gear. Hold(s) ice for ice water WAY longer than I expected (a couple days) even in warmer temps."
A cooler for road trips
Aside from making things cold, Lifetime coolers can even make you some new friends. Such was the case for one customer who purchased the Lifetime five-gallon water cooler for a long cross-country road trip.
"We were going on a road trip from Utah to West Virginia and didn't have a ton of extra room so we used this as a cooler to keep our food cold," the customer wrote. "It took us 2 1/2 days to get there and we never had to replace the ice. We were so happy with the performance of this cooler."
They continued, "When we got to our destination the new neighbor saw our cooler and thought it was the 'coolest' thing. We ordered them the same water cooler and had it delivered. They use it every day and keep it on the back porch with iced tea. ... We have made friends for life."
A cooler for boating
Help your friends and family members look forward to warm, sunny days on the lake by gifting them a cooler for their boat. Even better, grab one with wheels so they can easily transport their drinks and snacks from the car to the beach and the boat with ease.
It is also equipped with an easy-drain spout, a stainless steel bottle opener, and padlock-compatible latches. Your kids can't steal your favorite drinks with this cooler on board!
A cooler for the big game
If you've got a friend or family member who's a die-hard tailgater at football games or other sporting events, they might need a new cooler to keep up with their habit. Lifetime coolers even come with a stainless steel bottle opener attached for maximum convenience. And just in case game day is chilly, they can fill these insulated coolers with a hot beverage to stay warm.
A cooler that saves you money
Another great reason to invest in a Lifetime Products cooler is the cost savings. In an article for CNET, writer Ry Crist notes that the Lifetime 55-quart high-performance cooler "is even bigger than advertised, and it performs even better than some rotomolded coolers that cost hundreds more."
Be the cool gift-giver
You can get a lot of great uses out of Lifetime Products coolers and the list doesn't end here. While you're doing your holiday shopping for others, why not pick one up for yourself? See the full selection at any of our eight Lifetime Store locations or visit online at lifetime.com/coolers.
