    31 Things You May Want To Splurge On This Summer

    Your summer just got a whole lot better.

    1. A floating drink and snack holder, because you know those really swanky resorts with swim-up bars? Well, no need to fork out the cash for that when you've got this inflatable bartender that can fit drinks, snacks, and food on top without going underwater.

    2. A one shoulder ruffled swimsuit which is super versatile. It pairs perfectly with a beach cover up and can even be layered under shorts — but no matter which way you wear it, this piece is sure to get you a ton of compliments.

    3. An artificial tropical palm tree that will make lounging on your couch feel like sitting on a Caribbean beach. It requires no upkeep and looks exactly like the real thing.

    4. A futuristic chic bodysuit to take the athleisure trend to a new level. The stretchy spandex makes it comfortable to work out in but still looks super fashionable.

    5. A beautiful floral stick-and-peel wallpaper that will leave you mesmerized because of how beautiful it looks. And even when winter comes, this will keep summer on your mind.

    6. A tidal tank, which you can fill with fresh water so it'll be as heavy as a weightlifting bar. It has two handles so you can lift this two-in-one gadget in lieu of actual gym equipment — and best of all, you can sip from it when thirsty.

    7. A portable espresso maker so you can have a fresh cup of joe while on a road trip, at a festival, hiking, camping, or wherever else you end up this summer. Just add the coffee of your choice to the filter, put water in the tank, and press the button to release it into the included cup.

    8. A Brixton straw hat that should be a requirement for any beach or tropical trips. It upgrades any outfit with an extra stylish touch *and* protects your face from the sun.

    9. An outdoor mat which is waterproof and sturdy enough to last, even if you choose to have a picnic on the beach every single day. The included rings also make sure it stays in place and won't fly away, even on the breeziest day.

    10. Blackout curtains for when you want to sleep in *or* doze off early without the bright sunlight disrupting you.

    11. A no-assembly-required pop-up tent that will stay in place and can fit up to six adults, so you can enjoy the outdoors this summer — even if it's raining.

    12. A floral maxi dress so beautiful, you probably won't want to take it off all summer long. Consider this your new warm weather staple.

    13. Floating LED pool balls that will make late night swimming even more fun because they can be tossed around like a beach ball. Plus, they're solar powered, so you won't have to worry about charging them.

    14. A set of gorgeous hand-blown glasses because they're the perfect summer stemware. (Just be careful about using these for parties because your guests will be tempted to take these beautiful cups as a parting gifts.)

    15. A pair of Birkenstocks — these cult favorites are a must have summer shoe because of the soft cushion, style, and sturdy sole. I'd even wear them with socks in the winter because they're just that darn perfect.

    16. An inflatable swimming pool because building a real one costs an arm and a leg and requires a ton of space. It's small enough to blow up no matter the size of your backyard so you, your kids, and even your pupper can have some pool time.

    17. Hourglass waterproof gel eyeliner so that even on the hottest most humid summer days, your wing will stay intact and you'll avoid the dreaded raccoon eye effect.

    18. An electric pink lace bustier set that will help you create a killer silhouette challenge video for TikTok or just luxuriously stroll around your sweltering hot apartment.

    19. A faux marble plant stand so you can show off your seasonal summer flowers on a three tier table that doubles as decor.

    20. A laptop cooling pad because the weather is only going to get hotter... and so will the bottom of your laptop as it sits on your lap. Add this to cart so you can comfortably work from your couch all season long.

    21. Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 provides your skin with protection from UVA and UVB sun rays. The solution dries to a matte finish and blurs pores, plus it's packed with silk extract and wild rose to combat redness and make your skin feel as soft as a cloud.

    22. A gold metallic open cuff bracelet with bling on the end that will ensure the only thing shining brighter than the sun is your arm candy.

    23. A stone-washed French linen duvet that feels cool and soft to the touch, whisks away moisture, and softens with use.

    24. A collapsible treadmill with a handrail and Bluetooth speakers, perfect for the days when you want to go on a jog but it's just too darn hot outside.

    25. A customizable apéritif sampler pack that has an 18—20% ABV. You can choose from a variety of delicious summer inspired flavors like citrus flower, lemon lavender, rose, bitter clove, ginger yuzu, spiced cherry, and grapefruit jalapeño.

    26. A snake print leather clutch which is the perfect little pouch for all the rooftop parties you'll be attending this summer. It's small but mighty and fits all you need — credit card, lipstick, keys, and a mirror.

    27. A stained glass window decal to make it look like there is always a rainbow shining through your house. Positive vibes + beautiful scenery = a home you will never want to leave.
