With Christmas long behind us, it's time to warm up again. You'll have to wait to dust off the sunnies and bucket and spade, so sweeten up your life until then with Unnamed Confectionery Brand.

Because being huddled shivering around a radiator is overrated.

3. Finding your fan's sweet spot.

Because melting like a Calyppo in an industrial oven on the sun can also have its downsides, too.

Disclaimer: you will probably look less like this, and more like this.

4. Having no commitments and forever to not do them in.

You'd feel guilty if you wasted this great opportunity to do absolutely nothing, right?

5. Triumphing over nature and looking proudly over all that you've conquered.

Similarly, you don't often get the chance to actually do something just for the sake of it, so make sure you take it.

6. Breaking in the summer wardrobe.

At last! An excuse to wear that Hawaiian shir- actually... think I'll just leave it here. In the bin. The bin that's on fire.

7. The email confirming booking of that perfect deal landing in your inbox.

A big thank you to the dedicated team that made this possible, scouring comparison websites for weeks and tirelessly hitting F5.

8. Finally getting your suitcase shut after exerting every ounce of strength.

Tip: roll clothes into easily manageable bundles, like so. Then wear whatever doesn't fit, like a maniac.

9. The relief at narrowly avoiding missing your transport by the skin of your teeth.

Abandon your luggage if you have to, it'll only slow you down. You didn't need that passport anyway.

10. Sticking your head out the window and feeling majestic as the wind blows through your hair.

Choice of yelled profanity optional.

11. Testing the bed in your hotel room.

A hallowed tradition, now a legal requirement in a number of countries.

12. The sand between your toes as you leg it to the sea.

Like sand, hate getting it off your feet? Just dab some baby powder over the offending areas and it'll fall off, good as new.

13. Launching yourself into the sea like Tom Daley.

If there's one surefire way to impress everyone around you, it's by falling into some water with style.

14. Landing a 10.0 cannonball.

Arguably the most ambitious dive to attempt, and certainly the most challenging to execute.

Step one: ensure the pool isn't frozen over first.

15. Goading your mates back home while poolside without it backfiring.

Forget expensive waterproof covers, did you know a sandwich bag does the job just as well, even for touchscreens? Get yours here.

Be aware that this will have the side effect of making you appear shrink-wrapped in any attempted selfies.

16. The satisfcation that comes with being able to sit back and catch some rays.

In theory, topping up your tan doesn't sound like something that should require more than lying still and getting heated, but as anyone who has spent time adjusting their towel to just the right angle will know, there's actually a meticulous planning process at work.

17. Laying claim to some premium real estate in the cool shade.

Because it's a lot easier to read when your eyelids aren't being melted together.

18. Schooling everyone at sand-based sport.

Reminder that it's not a relaxing beach holiday unless everyone's screaming at each other and someone's fainted from exhaustion.

19. The peace of mind that nobody's nicked your stuff while you're smashing the volleyball.

Just remember that your keys won't vice versa protect you against the sun's harmful UV rays.

20. Quenching your thirst with the ultimate taste-bud pleasing fruity concoction.

Bonus points awarded for the receptacle used. Here's how to make your own coconut glass.

21. Throwing a barbecue where everyone successfully brings their fair share of grub.

You don't win friends with salad. As a bonus tip, use a cake tray to store your condiments for ease-of-use and minimum-of-mess.

22. Working it on someone's shoulders at a festival.

Via cdn.buzznet.com

Yes it will annoy the people behind you. No you won't care.

23. Camping beneath the stars.

Via tumblr.com

What could be a better combination than the majesty of nature, all your pals, a toasty fire and an acoustic guitar? Actually, forget the guitar. The rest is ace though.

24. Roasting marshmallows.

Solid on the outside, liquid on the inside, like Ross Kemp. Great mysteries of science.

25. Watching sunrise.

Hard to rival for pure, unbridled contentment. Whack this on if you don't already feel serene enough not to want to do anything else again.

The majority of the above might be once-in-a-summertime occasions, but you can keep that sweet feeling topped up throughout with Unnamed Confectionery Brand.
