1. A beach tote that can double as your carry-on bag. Thanks to the waterproof lining, you can toss damp towels and swimsuits in it when you're done at the beach without worrying about damage.
2. A time-marked water bottle because you're probably gonna need reminders to stay hydrated. Other bonus features? The flip cover to prevent leakage and the detachable filter that'll keep seeds and chonks from getting into your mouth when you're infusing your H2O with fruit.
3. A pack of Clean & Clear blotting sheets that'll soak up any unwanted oil from your face. Because they won't smudge your makeup or leave behind residue, you won't have to do any major touchups after using them.
4. A baseball cap that'll shade your sweet lil' visage and save you from a sunburn. Now you won't have to stress if you forget your morning dose of SPF.
5. A pair of waterproof phone pouches that'll keep your phone safe from the treacherous seas (or, y'know, your bath tub or pool). You can also use it for cash, cards, and other vacay essentials when you're on holiday.
6. A pair of absorbent towel scrunchies that'll dry your mane after you hop outta the pool or ocean. Reviewers say they're awesome for fighting frizz and that they're great for people who prefer night showers over morning showers.
7. A stick of reef-friendly face sunscreen that's easy on both the environment and sensitive skin. It's enhanced with ingredients (like vitamin E) that'll keep you feeling moisturized.
8. A wet bag for your swimsuit that'll keep your other goodies from getting soaked in your bag. Yes, it's technically for baby stuff, but it's definitely cute enough for grown adults.
9. A moisturizing cocoa butter stick that'll soothe and smooth flaky patches — great if you've been spending all day in the sun. Reviewers love that it's larger than a tube of lip balm (it's about the size of a glue stick), so they can use it on larger patches of skin.
10. A silky scarf that you can wear a ton of different ways. Tie it to your bag, wear it as a top, or knot it around your neck for a cute lil' ascot sitch.
11. A gigantic beach blanket that'll fit you and all your friends, making it great for picnics. It has sand pockets that you can fill to weigh it down and comes with four stakes that'll come in handy when the wind really starts acting up.
12. A pair of bestselling sock-like water shoes that'll save you from slicing your foot when you're taking a dip. Plus, they have textured soles that make them grippy enough to walk and climb on wet rocks.
13. A bucket hat with a raw hem because the trend doesn't look like it'll be dying anytime soon and you probably need to add one to your collection STAT.
15. A stick of anti-blister balm that'll come in handy after a long day of walking. It's moisture- and sweat-resistant, meaning it won't wear off mid-stroll.
16. A pair of rectangular sunglasses that'll shield your precious peepers from the sun's harsh rays. Reviewers say they look and feel a lot more expensive than they are and love that they come with their own pouch and cleaning cloths (so you won't have to purchase extra supplies).
17. A bug bite tool that'll suck insect venom, saliva, and other irritants right out of your skin. Reviewers love how easy it is to use and say it works actual miracles on mosquito bites. No more itching for you!
18. A mesh tote if you're looking for a cute and casual everyday bag that won't eat up half of your luggage. It's roomy as heck, meaning you'll be able to stuff it with all your beach essentials (including a bulky towel).
19. A pair of midform Teva sandals that'll bring you back to your childhood in the best way possible: with Velcro. The straps won't rub against your feet, so your sunset strolls won't end in pain.
20. A mini Wetbrush you can stash in your pool bag to get rid of post-swim tangles. Like the OG version, its flexible bristles are designed to cater to damp tresses, so you won't have to worry about breakage.
21. A high-waisted bikini if you're in the market for a new swimsuit. Reviewers love how stretchy the material is and say it still looks brand new after a few washes (or trips to the beach).
22. And finally, a slinky one-piece situation because they are so ~in~ right now. It's super affordable (thanks, Amazon), so if you want to try the trend but don't want to commit to spending an entire paycheque, this is calling your name.
