    Because frankly, you deserve better than warm lager and sandy picnics.

    1. Anyone who's stared at American ice dispensers in envy will understand why I had to include this three-litre water dispenser! It'll give you fridge-cold drinks at the press of a button (yesss).

    2. I'm not saying you would get caught off-guard by a heatwave and end up sunburned. I'm just saying that if you did, this soothing aftersun solution from Malibu would have your back (literally).

    3. Crack open a (genuinely) cold one instead of facing a lukewarm tin of flat lager thanks to this unbelievably glam can and bottle cooler!

    4. If you're planning a barbecue but don't want to depend on the weather, this s'mores kit is ideal because it can be used both on a grill and over a pot of boiling water indoors.

    5. There's nothing more British than heading for a picnic the second the sun peeks out from behind the clouds. This cooler bag will keep your food chilled while you head to your favourite spot!

    6. And you can prepare for any unwanted guests at your picnics with this ridiculously highly-rated suction tool that works for everything from bee stings to horsefly bites.

    7. If you want your feet to stay sandal-ready all the time instead of having to anticipate something as chaotic as British weather, I highly recommend this heel salve balm.

    8. Avoid slow-roasting yourself while driving or on the bus by nabbing this super portable mini fan.

    9. I find that my tresses dry out in no time when it experiences sudden temperature and humidity changes, so it's a good thing that L'Oréal's 'Wonder Water' treatment deeply hydrates hair in as little as eight seconds.

    10. I don't know about you, but my makeup kit was *not* curated with sweat in mind. Thankfully, DR. JART's colour-correcting treatment gives an almost foundation-like coverage without any risk of running off of your face in sweaty rivets.

    11. But when I really want to wear makeup in the sun, I swear by NYX's dewy-finish setting spray!
