It's boiling outside so treat yourself to something fun to take your mind off it!
It can fit four adults and even has a little cooler space for drinks. It doesn't have a motor or sail so you can't actually sail anywhere but Party Island is more like a state of mind, ya know?
Promising review: "Love this floatie! She’s huge and takes awhile to inflate, but is well worth the money and handles the lake well. Entertains everyone for hours." —Vogue1

Promising review: "I own a kayak eco-tour business and this bucket has been amazing for my tours! It is such a great way to get up close and personal with marine life with minimal stress to the animals! This has been an amazing tool for me. The handle and lid make it super easy to pass the bucket around in a group of paddlers or beachcombers. This bucket is better than a plastic container because it will last longer, and the handle is great for ease. This bucket looks official and fun! Putting critters in this globe really showcases the little details of the ecosystem that folks might just miss out on or under-appreciate without having such a unique and up-close viewing experience! It really brings the appreciation of the ecosystem to the next level for kids and adults alike. I LOVE this globe!" —Miranda Murphy

I have and love this candle very much. I don't know what I'm going to do once I finally burn through it. Maybe go back to huffing the scent of freshly popped tennis ball cans?

This ice cream maker has over 4,600 positive reviews on Amazon so you know it's saving summers left and right!
Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this ice cream maker. I never purchase store bought ice cream anymore. I make non-dairy ice cream. My children, husband, and everyone who tastes it can't believe I made it. I suggest keeping the bowl in the freezer at all times so its always ready to use. After 20 minutes you'll have a soft serve consistency, if you want it scoopable, place ice cream in a shallow container, cover with a piece of plastic wrap, then close the lid and put it in the freezer for at least two hours. Be sure to place plastic wrap directly on top of ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming on all that deliciousness." —Saida

Judging by the review pics, it seems like people love to celebrate their purchase with an entire bottle of champagne!
Promising review: "This set is so cute! It's perfect for summer, super pretty and very comfortable. I wish we could buy separate sizes because I'm bigger on the bottom than on the top so it would have been perfect to have a size M in the shorts and size S in top. But the size S still fits great and M would have been to big on the top. I just wish I found it earlier this summer so I could wear it longer before it gets cold." —Malikah Kelly

Promising review: "I LOVE THESE SANDALS! I wanted a pair of clear glitter jelly sandals and was on a mission for about a month. I finally found these. The reviews said they were somewhat large which was true. They are super cute and extremely comfy for jellies. I’m obsessed." —Emily

Promising review: "This is a GREAT VALUE! It's super nice and very inexpensive. It truly won't hurt my feelings if I only get one summer of use out of it. It comes with bags to help anchor into place at the bottom of the pool. I used round and smooth landscape rocks to fill the bags. I was worried that this would be smaller than the photo, but it's large and a very nice size for a fun game of water volleyball." —KinDallas

Promising review: "I ordered two of the dresses to take with me on a cruise and I absolutely LOVE them both. I was a little skeptical at first from reading the comments about the arm area not fitting correctly. I guess I got lucky because mine fit perfectly. I love them so much I will be ordering a third one..." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is a photography book. The photography (mainly aerial) is both interesting and beautiful. The book is quite a visual escape. Great for a summer feel. Would also make a great gift for anyone who loves the beach. There is very little text but the photos are beautiful, often very colorful. Just a pleasure to flip through and enjoy. Perfect coffee table book. Guests will enjoy it too." —Mike7000

Promising review: "This product seems so simple yet provides a lot of entertainment and activity. It doesn't quite float, doesn't quite sink, and can be slow-motion dribbled underwater. Adults and kids alike enjoy it but it was the biggest hit with my 17-year-old son and his friends. I find myself playing with it even when I'm alone in the pool and, because of its weight, it works pretty well for in or out of water arm workouts. It's sturdy, well-made and will definitely remain a fixture in our pool." —Jennifer M.

Promising review: "The hat can be easily folded. The material is soft and slightly deformable, so folding it doesn’t damage its shape. This is wonderful for packing and storing. The expended shadow can fully cover the face. My wife loves this hat. The price is very reasonable." —Kun-Lin

Promising review: "Exactly as pictured, love the colors. My favorite beach blanket. It’s lightweight; it's more like linen material, not really like a blanket, not as thin as a sheet, which is what I like about it. It fits in my beach bag perfectly. Love it!!!" —Maddy hoffman

Promising review: "My kids loved this! My husband throws a double bit axe in woodsman competitions. My kids really want to try, but they are still a little young. This gives them such joy. It’s really easy to get the hang of this. We bought plexiglass at a home improvement store for a target that we can move anywhere. We also used these for a kids game at a charity event. It was a big hit." —Jlyn08

Promising review: "These say beach but I wanted a holder that could be used anywhere, particularly on grass for outdoor concerts or up in the mountains for a picnic. These are well-made. The opening is just the right size for about any can, bottle, or wine glass (we will use stemless glasses with them). Lastly, the colors are bright but not obnoxious — people should see them and not step on them or kick them over. Highly recommended!" —Starman

Promising review: "Love! I bought two colors. I would by them all but I would like to stay married. 😬 I would recommend fitting your bottom as the top seems adjustable for the most part. Fabric is nice enough. Fully lined. Very happy!" —Alicia
