Cures for summertime sadness.
Promising review: "This adorable bag was larger than I anticipated and perfect for its intended purpose. The outside is smooth vinyl and the inside is almost like a soft cooler, perfect for a beach or pool bag. It won't be damaged by a wet bathing suit or damp towel." —Camilla

Promising review: "Absolutely love this float! It is very comfortable to float on and it's very large. You can definitely fit two people on it comfortably. I took it to the springs, which is pretty cold water, but you don't even have to touch the water on this float if you don't want to. It's easy to blow up and has three different air sections. The plugs are nice and it held the air very well. I used it all day and it never deflated." —Katie Williams

Promising review: "OMG the narwhal is so cute. The unicorn has been everywhere so I wanted to find something just as magical, but super unique and boy is this it. You can only really fit one person on it, but it's so comfortable to sit on you probably won't want to get off to give someone else a turn, haha. Very excited to have found this and once again I am the most unique guy in the pool!" —Mike F.

Empty out your watermelon (or pumpkin!), add the tap, and fill it with a delicious cocktail.
Promising review: "BIG hit for our summer themed party. Worked very well — no leakage at all. The only 'problem' is that seedless watermelons are pretty small so we had to keep refilling. But it was a fun addition to the party." —Maria Cortina

Promising review: "Omg! This chair is awesome! I am seriously sitting in it eating a piece of pizza and writing this comment right now. At first I wish I had chosen the coral or lime color, but I don’t even care about the color now because it’s awesome! Even my 10-year-old daughter thought it was very easy to inflate! I definitely recommend this." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Best. Purchase. Ever. If you've ever found yourself trying to enjoy an evening glass of wine but worry you may drop ANOTHER one of your sweet grandma's antique wine glasses — because you are too busy cooking up something to eat, with a baby on your hip, while watching a toddler ride his bike, as your hubs chats with the neighbors — then worry no more. These glasses are the best! Easy to handle. East to sip. Easy to clean. Easy living, indeed!" —L. Camille

This suit has over 1,100 positive reviews on Amazon! Read BuzzFeed's full write-up on the swimsuit that everyone loves.
Promising review: "This is an amazing suit! I didn’t really believe it could fit all body types, but I was totally proven wrong. The high bottoms hit at the perfect spot and I’ve never owned a suit that was more modest but also sexy at the same time! I honestly think I’m going to get it in another pattern. Just beware there is some side boob and it’s definitely not a suit you can run in or do lots of activity. But for casual swimming and beaching, it’s perfect." —Breanna Wright
