REI Gift Cards for Satellite Communicator

We'd like to get a Garmin inReach Mini satellite communicator for extra safety when we're hiking in remote areas, but they are PRICEY at $275 on sale. A gift card would really help!
Medium priority
Amazon Gift Card

You can't go wrong with this one! There's always something I want on Amazon
Already bought
SPD Bike Cleats
Available at: REI
I would like to have a set of cleats for my cycling shoes so I can clip in to the spin bikes at the gym. The Shimano SH-56 Multi-Directional Release SPD Cleats are the right size and style for my shoes and the bikes at the gym. Please do NOT buy these from Amazon as much of the bike gear on that site is fake/not the real thing, which could be dangerous when biking. $15
Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Fiber Quick Lock Trekking Poles with Cork Grip
Available at: CascadeMountainTech.com $48 , Walmart.com $39 , Costco.com if you're a member $70 for 2 pair (Joel has these on his list too)
My hiking poles are on their last legs, and need to be replaced. The Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Fiber Quick Lock Trekking Poles with Cork Grip are exactly what I want. Please do NOT buy from Amazon, as much of the camping gear on that site is fake/not the real thing which could create a safety hazard if the poles broke on the side of a mountain. $35-48 depending on the deal, I've noted the prices as of the time I posted this list, but things may change with sales, etc.
Ikea Glass Pitcher with Cork Lid
Available at: Ikea, $8
I've admired this pitcher from Ikea for a long time, and it's only $8
Cocktail Glasses "Nick and Nora"
Available at: Cocktail Kingdom.com
It would be great to have a set of Nick and Nora style cocktail glasses. This set of 6 at Cocktail Kingdom is a great deal at $34
Aquatabs Water Purification Tablets
Available at: REI
It would be good to have a set of these water purification tablets if we were ever to run out of water on a remote hike. Hopefully we'll never need them, but better safe than thirsty! $10
Toaks Camping Stove
Available at: Toaks.com , REI
We need a new camping stove (there may or may not have been a near-disaster in April in Arizona!), and after much research I think the TOAKS TITANIUM SIPHON ALCOHOL STOVE is the one for us. Please do NOT buy from Amazon, as much of the camping gear on that site is fake/not the real thing which could create a safety hazard with fire in the wilderness. $35
Toaks Titanium Alcohol Stove Pot Stand
Available at: Toaks.com , REI
The TOAKS TITANIUM ALCOHOL STOVE POT STAND is the companion piece to the Toaks camp stove. It holds the water pot above the flame. Please do NOT buy from Amazon, as much of the camping gear on that site is fake/not the real thing which could create a safety hazard with fire in the wilderness. $20
Wallflower Fragrance Refills
Available at: Body Works online or in stores
I love the wallflower plug-ins at Bath and Body Works . The scents I like are: Island Reef, Sun-Washed Petals, Eucalyptus Mint, Stress Relief Eucalyptus Spearmint. I'd love to have 1 or 2 of some or all of these. $6.50 regular price, but they're often on sale & can be combined with coupons
