    Just 35 Products That'll Come In Clutch When Temperatures Soar This Summer

    Solutions that are *just* short of being able to control the sun like a thermostat 🌡

    1. A teensy tiny Dash ice cream maker so you can whip up some mint chocolate chip froyo right at home — no need to leave the sweet, sweet embrace of your AC. 

    A small pint-sized electric ice cream maker
    A reviewer dipping a spoon into creamy ice cream

    Promising review: "Convenient size to snuggle into even a VERY crowded freezer. I use Greek Yogurt as my base for everything I've tried so far. Mix in some blended fruit (maybe a bit of honey, if necessary) and put the mix in the freezer for about 45-60 minutes to get it well-chilled. Stir out any lumps and pour into the frozen mixer. WRAP the mixer in a dishtowel to keep it cold a bit longer (and tamper the bit of noise that some reviewers are complaining about), and then start the beater for about 7–8 minutes. You'll hear the motor start to strain when the bottom of the mix starts freezing hard, and at that point I turn it off (don't want to overwork the motor). Take that long spoon, stir up your creation and enjoy! This may sound like a lot of trouble, but besides being a good little dessert (or snack) I think it's a great alternative to making simple smoothies in my Vitamix! AND it's a real breakfast treat on hot summer mornings." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    2. cooling towel that'll be your best buddy whenever hiking, fishing, tanning, or doing your outdoor activity of choice. Soak it in some cold water, wring it out, and toss it around your neck so you *don't* end up looking like a freshly boiled lobster.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I use this towel for pretty much everything now! It has kept me cool during my gym workouts, and makes all my hikes and camping trips much more enjoyable since I’m not burning up in the sun. I wish I could rate this product even higher because of how amazing it is." —Mike Grady

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in four colors).

    3. A bottle of Burt's Bees Natural After Sun Soother — a must if you're prone to burns even when it's only 60 degrees and cloudy out. The aloe- and coconut oil-infused formula soothes and moisturizes to calm inflamed skin so it *doesn't* feel like your epidermis is being ripped off every time you change your top. 

    Promising review: "This is the best product ever for sunburns! There's no peeling or itching — simply amazing! The photos (above) are only four days apart." —Carrie

    Get it from Amazon for $7.31.

    4. A satin-lined backless CurlCap made for anyone looking to rock their natural hair. A stretchy, scrunchie-like band keeps your locks up and off of your neck but won't pinch.

    CurlCap is a Black-owned apparel company founded by Britney Sade that specializes in caps designed for natural hair with an open back and flexible scrunchie design.

    Promising review: "Good cap. My head circumference is 24" and the hat fits really good and is comfortable. I like the elastic band and also gives me shade in this hot Texas heat!" —GwenH

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 styles).

    5. Or an adjustable cap with a magnetic closure meant to work *with* instead of *against* your ponytails and buns. This way, you don't have to spend 10 minutes adjusting buckles or straps and trying not to pull out any hair in the process.

    Ponyback

    Ponyback is a small brand from Stacey Keller. When she couldn't find a hat that worked well with all hairstyles, she set out to make her own. FYI: Her hats are currently on preorder but are expected to ship around mid June.

    Promising review: "I can't believe how perfect this hat is — I wear my long curly hair up 90% of the time and this works for ponytails, messy buns, braids, or any combo. It's SO comfy I don't even realize I am wearing it until my kids say to me 'no hats at the table' haha. This hat will be my summer lifesaver." —Nancy K.

    Get it from Ponyback for $49.99 (available in four colors; available in sizes XS/S–L/XL and in four colors).

    6. A HyperChiller beverage cooler that allows you to turn hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds flat. Just fill the container with water and keep it in your freezer so it's always ready when you need it.

    Amazon

    The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either.

    Promising review: "I am an avid (i.e., daily) iced coffee drinker, but I have been extremely hesitant to make my own iced coffee at home because I didn’t want the bitter flavor from two-day-old coffee or the watered-down nature of just adding ice to coffee. Thanks to the HyperChiller, I have now found a solution!!! The HyperChiller worked like a CHARM today!!! I was able to create my own iced coffee directly from my coffee maker in the comfort of my own home. I guarantee this item will be used frequently! Great job!" —Chelsea

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors). 

    7. A 10-piece headband set if you made the ill-advised decision to get bangs just one month before summer. These babies will keep your lil' hairs up and off your forehead so they don't end up plastered there the second you step foot outside.

    Promising review: "Amazing quality! These are super soft and keep your head cool when working out! I couldn’t believe how well they work at wicking away moisture and staying cool! They came in a super nice box that will help me to not lose them — like I’m prone to. The colors are cute and the headbands aren’t too tight at all! They have nice stretch to them if you have a larger head. This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on Amazon! I’m so glad I bought these!" —Amazon Customer

    Get a set of ten from Amazon for $15.99.

    8. A moisturizing, sweat-resistant SPF 30 sunscreen sure to shield your skin from sun damage and prevent hyperpigmentation and fine lines. Plus, it won't leave you looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost right when you're ready for your brunch date.

    Target, Target

    Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black woman-owned business whose sunscreen is designed not to leave a white cast on melanated skin. It's ultra sheer, water-resistant, and super nourishing thanks to its all-natural ingredients. Plus, it's cruelty-free! They also make sunscreen for kids with SPF 50.

    Promising review: "I’ve tried many, many sunscreens that claim to blend and not leave a white cast when applied. This was so much better than I expected. A nickel-size amount goes a long way and blends into a smooth, dewy finish. I also didn’t notice a scent so there was no worries of walking around smelling like sunscreen." —Target Customer

    Get it from Target for $14.99 or from Black Girl Sunscreen for $18.99.

    9. Or a bottle of Habit's N°41 Mister which allows you to reapply your sunscreen on the go without even having to touch your face! It also goes on ~over~ makeup without issue.

    Habit

    You can expect notes of rose geranium and lavender and rosemary with every spritz — plus, this bb is also vegan, cruelty-free, and from a small, NYC–based biz!

    Promising review: "I LOVE this sunscreen. It smells AMAZING and the mist is SO fine that you don’t feel it on your skin at all. The bottle is small enough that you can reapply all day by keeping it in your bag. My partner has started to steal it, too, so now we’re a Habit household." —Habit Customer

    Get it from Habit for $30.

    10. An insulated, double-walled can cooler so your adult bevvies don't go from ice-cold to tepid in two seconds flat. Idk about you, but I think I'd rather swallow a little sea water than drink a warm Bud Light. 

    Reviewer image of a sparkly blue version of the insulator
    Reviewer holding up a blue insulated can cooler at the beach

    This fits a standard 12-ounce slim can, and was designed to still be able to fit in car cup holders. It'll keep drinks icy cold for several hours, and twenty times colder than a standard neoprene can cooler. Psst — you can check out the rest of BruMate's options for different-sized cans, wines, cocktails, and more.

    Promising review: "Like to keep your beer cold? Get this. Slow drinker but don't want to let your friends on to how slow you're drinking? Get this. Want your White Claw/Truly to stay as cold as it was when you took it out of your fridge? Get this. I kid you not this thing keeps drinks cold like that's its job (because it is). Once I got mine and saw how effective it was, I decided all of my cold beverage loving friends and family will be getting one also. With most of my friends being Michelob Ultra and White Claw drinkers, this seems to be the perfect fit. So hard to find a can koozie that holds those slim cans! Love this product and definitely recommend!" —Brooke Stull

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 30 colors/designs).

    11. A handy dandy ice roller that'll not only feel INCREDIBLE after some time in the sun, but it also shrinks pores, reduces puffiness and redness, and relieves general fatigue. Some reviewers even recommend using them for migraine relief, too!

    Promising review: "I was in the habit of rolling a cold can of soda on my forehead to help with tension headaches and sinus pain but that was cumbersome and not always cold enough. This ice roller works so well to ease the pain from sinuses and tension. It froze very quick and I felt instant relief. The rolling motion even cleared my sinuses and I could breathe better right away. I love this. Would highly recommend." —DT

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors).

    12. A pair of ultra-stretchy, sheer, and cooling Thigh Society shorts you can slip on under skirts, dresses, and anything else you'd usually chafe in. These babies don't roll, ride up, or give you dreaded swamp bum — they're basically just like a second skin.

    Thigh Society

    Thigh Society is a woman-founded, size-inclusive small biz from Marnie Consky.

    I recently bought two pairs of these — in black and nude — and I am simply in love. Chub rub has always been a part of my life and until now, I didn't have a great way of preventing it. I've tried various sport shorts and slathering my thighs in deodorant but those methods just weren't cutting it. These shorts are unbelievably lightweight and breathable, superrrrrr stretchy (but not in a way that bags out after extended wear), and they do. not. roll. or. fall. down. I wear them under all of my skirts and dresses (because I also have an irrational fear that everything I wear is see-through when the sun hits it) and I will definitely be buying more!

    Promising review: "It’s not an exaggeration to say these shorts are life changing. I’m a chubby living in hot, steamy Florida. Chub rub is inevitable when wearing skirts and dresses. I’ve tried a number of lady boxers and petit pants. They all either rolled up, down, or one leg rode up. They were also hot and non breathable. These shorts are perfection. No more chub rub, no more swamp a$$! I’m in love. I wish there were more color choices!" —Rachel

    Get a pair from Thigh Society for $37 (available in women's sizes XS/S–5X/6X, in four lengths, and six colors). 

    13. A bottle of Teddie Organics rose water toner spray with an anti-inflammatory formula that can calm an array of skin irritations from gnarly sunburns to pesky razor burns.

    reviewer photo showing red cheeks
    reviewer photo showing skin less red

    It'll also restore your skin's pH balance and absorb excess oil. It's everything you want your toner to do, except now you can use it WHEREVER. Plus it's organic and suitable for sensitive skin!

    Promising review: "I have been using this rose water for about three weeks now. I am in shock! The redness in my face is gone! I used to put on foundation almost every day because of my redness and acne scars. I now go out of the house with zero makeup on and feel confident in doing so. My face is super soft! My husband actually thought I was wearing makeup because my face was so clear. I'm so happy I took the leap and bought it!" —crystal

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes).

    14. A swiveling UPF 50 plus protection umbrella (with an adjustable clamp) you can bring to the beach or even just use on your deck. That way, you don't end up with third-degree burns after taking a cat nap that turned into four (count 'em — four) solid hours.

    Sportbrella attached to a beach chair

    Psst — a lot of reviewers swear by this for easy hands-free shade solutions for strollers and wheelchairs as well!

    Promising review: "I love this! I brought it along for the Fourth of July Parade on a very hot day and attached it to my chair. Not only did it cool me off by about 30 degrees (I think it was close to 100 in the sun), but it ALSO could be all adjusted so the shade fell over me without all of the people walking back and forth on the sidewalk behind my chair constantly bumping into it (which would have happened with a big round umbrella). The clamp is very well made and clamped very securely to my chair with a minimum of effort." —Kindle Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes and eight colors).

    15. cropped brami tank — AKA a 2-in-1 bra + cami — so you don't have to worry about finding your one and only bra that *doesn't* have an underwire poking out/hook missing.

    Klassy Network

    Klassy Network is a woman-founded small biz from Natalie Rogers. Each of the brand's brami tops is designed with removable padding and you can even buy extras if you need/want!

    Promising review: "Love this top so much! The medium fits perfectly! I was expecting the thin pads similar to what is in a swimsuit or sports bra, but these pads feel more like an actual bra and gives good coverage and support! The crop length hits perfect 👌 10/10 would recommend" —Heather K.

    Get it from Klassy Network for $35 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and in five colors).

    16. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes capable of stopping hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating right in its tracks. Give your pits a good swipe down before bed and you *won't* wake up in a puddle of your own perspiration!

    hand holding a package of Sweat Block wipes
    Amazon

    Apply it every seven days! This is STRONG so if you have sensitive skin, the manufacturer suggests you do a spot test first.

    Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks and it is life changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat. I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

    Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $19.99+ or Subscribe & Save for $18.99 (each box lasts two months).

    17. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll help your plants (both indoor and outdoor!) survive heat waves, droughts, and downpours whether they're caused by nature or your inability to keep track of their watering schedule.

    Mix the crystals in with your regular potting soil and they'll absorb water and release it when your plant is thirsty.

    Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr

    Get it from Amazon for $8.72+ (available in packs of one or two).

    18. A Monistat chafing relief powder gel because enjoying the breeze for a few hours in a pair of shorts or a skirt shouldn't result in a days-long angry red rash.

    Reviewer's photo of wearing shorts with caption
    a pink Monistat box

    Promising review: "Girls with chub rub, look no further. Those cute shorts? Wear 'em. That cute dress? Put that ish on. I wore this with my bikini in Florida for three days, only reapplied one to two times a day and had minimal chaffing (mostly due to sand, which can’t be helped, sadly). But it wasn’t bad, nor did it cause me any real pain like chaffing normally does. I plan on getting this when I go to California in June to get the same use! Love love love! PS: I have suuuuuper sensitive skin and had no breakouts or suspect rashes using this." —Sarah

    Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in packs of one or four).

    19. Or, if you wanna support a small biz, a trusty stick of Megababe's Thigh Rescue. Even if you're just jumping on your Peleton for a 30-minute ride — like the reviewer mentions below — this will prevent your thighs from causing enough friction to start a small fire.

    Megababe

    Megababe is a woman-owned small business from entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer Katie Sturino. 

    Promising reviews: "Thigh Rescue saved my life! As a curvy girl, chafing was something I just accepted. I would wear Spandex shorts under dresses and avoid wearing shorts at all costs! Once I started using thigh rescue my life changed! It is amazing and makes a world of a difference! I love it so much!" —Meghan Blaisdell

    "This saves me when I use my Peleton! Turns out spinning is way less painful when your thighs aren't on fire. It's a MUST for all my workouts!" —Cara

    Get it from Megababe or Target for $14

    20. A sun visor clip where you can stow your shades so you don't get into an accident as you pull out of Wendy's drive-thru with a Frosty in hand and the blinding sun overhead.

    Promising review: "Love this sunglasses holder. It stays securely on the visor and I can put and take my sunglasses on and off from it with one hand. It's much better than the last one I purchased off of Amazon. That one got so loose that it wouldn't stay on the visor anymore. I don't think I'll have that problem with this one. The visor is still usable with the sunglass holder on it and the sunglasses are within perfect reaching distance to take off even while driving with one hand. And the clips hold my sunglasses tightly. Best purchase ever!" —Tara S.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    21. A temperature-regulating 100% cotton blanket because you simply *cannot* sleep if you're exposed to the elements (read: monsters and shadowy figures), but will also sweat up a storm with your regular ol' comforter.

    a grey throw and white throw on a bed
    Mulin Comfort

    Muslin Comfort is a woman-owned business based in California.

    Promising review: "I love this blanket. Gauze blankets are hard to find and this one is the perfect weight for spring and summer. Good quality and I got the queen size for my king size bed because I don’t want it trailing on the floor. Fits the bed frame perfectly. Love ❤️" —Melanie R.

    Get it from Muslin Comfort for $169.99+ (available sizes Twin–Cal. King and in five colors).

    22. A three-in-one stainless-steel bottle cooler that'll keep your Reisling niceeee and chilly because, apparently 🙄, it's a "faux pas" (read those as air quotes, plz) to add ice to your wine.

    The aerator
    Reviewer's photo of the bottle cooling rod in their wine bottle

    You'll get the metal rod to put in your bottle (with an attached aerator), as well as a corkscrew and stopper.

    Promising review: "This is a great product. It keeps wine cold for a long time and makes it easy to pour!" —Stephanie

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    23. A two-pack of draft blockers as *your* name is on the utility bill and you'll be damned if you pay even a penny for any cool air that Houdinis its way out of the house.

    a white draft-blocker on the bottom of a door
    Amazon

    Plus, it'll help muffle outside noises — something particularly helpful if you live in an apartment building or with noisy roommates.

    Promising review: "I’ll admit I was skeptical of these at first but after applying them to four of our doors we are thrilled! We live in an older home that is in no way energy efficient ;-) we got these to help keep the hot summer heat out of the house. We have only had them for a short time but they look so good! They actually upgrade the doors a bit ;-) the application went well and it is a firm hold. The flooring in our house meets the door almost so there’s not much room for movement and these stay put firmly when opening and closing the door. I have no doubt that they will stay on for a long time. Will probably buy another pack for the doors leading to our garage." —AHA

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.35+ (available in five colors).

    24. A DHC makeup primer you can apply before foundation or wear alone to absorb two of summer's most wicked characters: excess oil and sweat.

    Same reviewer, but after three hours of dancing to show how well her makeup stayed

    Promising review: "I could go on and on about this magic face sauce, but instead I’m just gonna lead with the pictures from my random sweat test experiment and tell you what you’re seeing. I think it did a GREAT job of soaking up the oil on my nose and forehead, much better than any pressed or loose mattifying powders I use. The (picture on the right) is after I danced Lindy Hop, Shag, AND Balboa (all fairly rigorous dance lexicons in the swing dance family) for three hours in a hot crowded bar that had to be at least 90 degrees inside. According to my Fakebit, I did 20 thousand steps that night so I REALLY put this stuff to the hardest test I could manufacture! It’s lasted for forever, as well, so I definitely think it’s a good deal for the price. It’s small, but you don’t need a lot!" —Queenofthehouse

    Get it from Amazon for $18.49.

    25. A pair of cool and silky pillowcases that will prevent you from flipping and re-flipping your pillow in a desperate bid to chase the cool side.

    One side is outfitted with Japanese cooling fabric and the other side is 100% breathable cotton.

    Promising review: "Best...pillowcases...ever!! I run hot all the time, especially at night. This really helps to keep me cool at night. I fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed. The cool side of the pillow is always your side of the pillow! I actually sometimes get cold during the night. If you wake up in the middle of the night sweating, you need to get this!" —Kim

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).

    26. A pack of six ice pop molds so you can make a fruit-forward version of that SpongeBob pop (you know — the one with gumball eyes) that you used to get from the ice cream truck.

    a reviewer's pink molds with blueberry popsicles
    a different reviewer's multi-color set

    What's included: six reusable ice pop molds, six handles, a tray, a cleaning brush, and a funnel.

    Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. We have made popsicles almost daily since receiving them! They are easy to fill because they stand up well in the tray and they came with a little collapsible funnel to help with pouring. They are super quick and easy to clean up as well. The ice pops are nice and big. If you have a picky eater who loves treats, then this is perfect for you. We put fruits, veggies, Greek yogurt, you name it in there. My toddler loves to help me make the pops and I have the peace of mind that he is getting tons of super good nutrients! Also, some mornings when I’m running a bit behind, I will just grab one of the pops we made and make it my breakfast LOL. For those looking at reviews about having trouble with them breaking or are having a hard time getting the pops out, we have dropped pieces several times and haven’t had any break yet. The pops' stick parts do seem like they could break fairly easy, but we haven’t had any issues. And as far as not being able to get them out of the molds once frozen, running a little hot water over the outside of the pop for a few seconds allows it to slide right out!" —Colleen DiNitto

    Get the set from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five colors).

    27. A 25-foot-long slip n' slide that allows you to beat the heat in arguably one of the most fun fashions imaginable: rocketing toward a set of colorful pins like a human bowling ball.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Huge hit! So worth every dime compared to the regular slip n' slides. You definitely get what you pay for! Definitely will buy another one in the future to have double the fun! I saw people review saying the slide had parts that were dry. Not sure how that was unless it was set up oddly. Ours stayed covered with water from morning to night without issues." —Christina Love Venhorst

    Get it from Amazon for $160.49+ (available in four styles).

    28. A handheld fan so the SPF you so liberally applied doesn't melt off your face the second the sun hits it. Add it to your mental check list before you head out the door — you know, phone, keys, wallet...handheld fan — and you'll be good to go.

    a reviewer holding the blue fan in their hand

    The fan has two speeds and can be recharged by any USB cable. 

    Promising review: "I have used this mini fan for more than three months now. It’s good quality and works well so far. The fan is small in size but powerful enough that it blows out a large amount of air. I took it with me to Disney World and thanks to this fan, I had a nice vacation and I will use it this whole summer. It’s really a life saver on really hot days — highly recommend!" —Cruz

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors).

    29. Or, if your pit stains laughed in the face of that device, a portable neck fan with three speed settings that are so powerful, you almost won't miss your central AC. 

    Depending on the setting you use, the fan can last four to sixteen hours. Once it needs to be recharged, just connect it to any USB cable.

    Promising review: "This thing is great. I’m not sure how I delivered mail for 15 years without it. :-) I usually run it from about 10 o’clock until 3 o’clock every day and no issues with battery life. I charge it daily. It doesn’t suck in my hair, and it’s light enough that I don’t even notice it on my neck. I have since recommended it to several coworkers. The price is right, too. The only thing I wish is that it was adjustable or foldable because it does take up quite a bit of space in my backpack. Other than that, I would buy five more of these just to have back ups." —J Frasle

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in five colors).

    30. A triangular sail that'll bring your backyard some much-needed shade *and* drop the temperature a few degrees so you can actually enjoy the outdoors instead of worrying about sprouting a sweat stache.

    two beige shades set up in a reviewer's back yard
    three shades set up in a different reviewer's back yard

    The corners of the sails have D rings so you can attach them to whatever you'd like with your choice of hardware or rope.

    Promising review: "Purchased this to increase privacy and provide some shade. The color is vibrant, hasn't faded, and the loops are well stitched. The sail has also faired well in winds, thunderstorms, monsoon rain, and the brutal heat of Vegas. Shade is wonderful and one can definitely feel the temperature difference from full sun to being under this sail. The look and feel compliments our pool area and will certainly be purchasing an additional one." —VHC Media

    Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in six sizes and 10 colors/patterns).

    31. A bottle of Milani's Make It Last 3-in-1 Setting Spray and Primer — a godsend for sweaty bbs everywhere.  Spray it on after you're done with your makeup and it'll lock in your look for 16 hours — no creases, smudges, or streaks in sight.

    Promising review: "I have been on the hunt for a good setting spray that will actually work for my super oily acne-prone skin. I even splurged and got the highly praised Charlotte Tilbury setting spray. This Milani one is so much better! I have way less makeup transfer to a mask (as a nurse I'm wearing a face mask for 12+ hours) and my makeup is no longer easily melting/sweating/wiping away off my face. If you've been struggling like me, you need this." —Stef

    32. A trampoline sprinkler because last time you checked, Blizzard Beach tickets are wayyyy out of your budget and this baby is less than $30. Who know's what's in that water anyways...

    Promising review: "This is awesome!!! Before we found this, the kids were using the hose to stay cool on the trampoline. The hose always turned into a fight — who got to hold it, someone getting sprayed in the face, etc. Now the kids can stay cool and fight about other things! Absolutely recommend this product as it was super easy to set up and makes for a fun way to cool down in the Arizona heat!" —Groveland

    Get it from Amazon $25.95+ (available in two colors and styles).

    33. A distressed bucket hat so your scalp doesn't suffer as a result of the delightful lil' heatwave that just snuck up on you. The wide brim will also keep your schnoz in the safe zone because if you're anything like me, your nose *will* burn after just 0.01 seconds of sun exposure.

    Promising review: "Love this hat!!!! It has enough of a brim to keep the sun out of my eyes and it's very easy to pack for trips or a vacation. I get lots of compliments when I wear it. It has a wider brim then some other bucket hats I’ve seen. Happy I purchased!!" —Meagan Janson

    Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in seven colors).

    34. A pressure-activated Coleman cooling pad so your pupper can safely join you outside on particularly balmy evenings. It requires no refrigeration whatsoever and it'll keep them 5 to 10 degrees cooler!

    Promising review: "I have a pug and a toy fox terrier/Chihuahua mix and they absolutely love this thing. I just leave it sitting on the living room floor and they gravitate towards it whenever they need to cool down (they sometimes even fight over it). Both fit simultaneously if they are in the mood for sharing the space. The mat is tough, too! I don't think their nails can penetrate it." —E Marsh

    Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in five colors).

    35. And a cooling body spray made with ingredients you can 100% pronounce! (Pure essential oils, water, and witch hazel.) Spritz it on whenever you're getting clammy and it'll help ya cool off before you start spraying sweat like you're in a Cathy comic.
