1. A delightful little tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness.
2. A handy as heck sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil to hydrate skin and gently relieve pain from the sun's unforgiving rays within just a few hours.
3. A set of cooling towels that get chilly the moment you soak them in water and wring them out — a godsend for when you're looking for quick ways to keep yourself cool outside.
4. A wintergreen lip balm to help prevent your lips from getting dry and chapped in the heat, and *also* give you some cooling relief to boot.
5. Or a set of Deet-free mosquito-repelling sticks — you can light them up about 12 feet apart, and within 10 minutes the pests will scatter like you cast a backyard charm.
6. A "sport-brella," which is an SPF 50+ maneuverable personal umbrella with a universal clamp that'll latch onto any chair you own. Boom, instant shade no matter where you've parked your human self, whether it's the porch, the beach, or the park.
7. A jar of Aztec healing clay masks for "maskne" (read: acne you get after you sweat in your face mask) that essentially sucks the gunk out of your pores like a vacuum, and will leave your skin feeling so smooth and firm you'll want to pet it.

9. An insulated, self-adhesive weatherproofing strip that instantly sticks to the outer rims of your door so you don't have to worry about the expensive AC air escaping out.
10. Or a self-adhesive door bottom that is also *quite* effective against drafts, smells, and under-the-door light sneaking through at night.
11. A HyperChiller to transform your piping hot coffee into iced coffee in a literal minute — same goes for that rosé you forgot to stick in the fridge.
12. A LifeStraw, aka a personal water filter perfect for hiking, camping, or accidentally getting drafted into The Hunger Games. This compact gizmo cleans up to 1,000 gallons of water *without* using any chemicals or batteries, so you can safely stay hydrated on your summer excursions.
13. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm you can apply between your thighs to avoid all that skin irritation you get from walking in the heat.

20. A hands-free portable neck fan you can charge with a USB, because you know what?? Staying cool is the new fashion and fans are the hottest accessory.
21. A foot file that'll remove calluses and hard or cracked skin from your feet with some gentle, pain-free rubbing, so you can wear favorite sandals without any extra chafing or uncomfiness. It works whether your feet are dry or wet at the time, and will leave your heels feeling gloriously soft.

23. An allergy relief rollerball made with a blend of grapeseed, tea tree oil, and lemon oil that may help ease allergy symptoms when your regular solutions aren't quite cutting it. Excuse you very MUCH, pollen.
24. A chic, statement-making visor to keep your face cool and out of the heat of the unrelenting afternoon sun.
25. Or a wide-brimmed UV protective safari hat with a built-in moisture wicking sweatband that will keep your head breezy and your cheeks in the shade.
26. A Pet House candle for when you can't open the windows to save your AC and need a way to quickly mask miscellaneous pet odors like litter boxes, dog beds, and all those lil' sprinkles of pee that you've just accepted as "eau de pet."
27. An appropriately named "Butt Be Dry," which is basically a lightweight fanny pack that unfurls into a small waterproof, mud-proof tarp for your tush, so you can park it wherever you need. Basically, wet benches and muddy grass at parks or sporting events just became free sitting game again.
28. A waterproof pouch to instantly keep your phone and other "doesn't play well with water"-type gadgets safe. Not only does this keep it safe, but you can still use the touchscreen with it, meaning you can take underwater photos galore 🐠🐟🐡.
29. A set of popular wickaway sweatbands for a quick fix to stop the sweat from stinging your eyes (or worse, from leaking sunscreen into your eyes).
30. A set of body cleansing wipes to instantly remove sweat, dirt, and all the smells that come with 'em if you're biking or walking to work or to meet friends in the heat.
31. A quick detangling brush with an easy-to-hold handle that's so effective on all hair types that it's amassed over 30,000 5-star reviews on Amazon — TRULY a game-changer for people exercising with long hair that gets tangled in buns, ponytails, or braids during sweaty workouts!!
32. A set of natural bamboo charcoal oil-blotting strips to absorb up moisture and sweat, leaving your face breezy and your makeup in tact.
33. A portable paw cleaner with soft silicone bristles to help gently remove mud and dirt from your doggo's paws in the muddier warm months. All you have to do is add a little water to it, insert your dog's paw, twist, then pat the paw dry and repeat.
34. A pair of hooks for your AirPods to stop them from popping right out of your ears, then onto the sidewalk, then somehow rolling into traffic, then under the wheel of a Ford Explorer, and — well. If you also get sweaty ears in the summer, you get the gist.
35. A flip-top lid for your wineglass you can use to save your vino during spring nights on the patio instead of halfheartedly batting away flies and fishing them out later. All you do is secure it to the base and the rim of your glass and then you can flip it on and off at your leisure — 100% fewer bugs in your diet, guaranteed.
36. A breathable cooling pillow with two sides — one that's silky and ultra cooling, and other that's soft, comfy cotton, so you'll be grateful for it not just in the summer, but all year long.
37. Plus a set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep.
38. A silicone watermelon cutter to get perfectly sized square bits of watermelon in seconds instead of hacking away at it, which is of course essential if we're going to ride Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar" high.
39. A blister-preventing balm that basically magics an extra layer between your skin and your shoe for summer days when you can't avoid some sweaty friction.
40. A popular water-resistant Under Armour face mask designed to sit off your lips, giving you plenty of room to breathe without getting fabric sucked into your mouth mid-run, whether you're in the heat or the rain. It's also made with the company's Iso-Chill fabric, so it doesn't overheat despite being bulkier than other masks.
41. A Geekey multitool for camping, which looks impressive at first glance, but functions as *deep breath* a coring tip, serrated edge, can opener, wire stripper, smoking pipe, file, imperial and metric ruler, protractor, bottle opener, multi-head fit driver, lanyard hole, bike spoke key, screw driver tip, wrench, *and* bit driver all at once. Basically, the great outdoors has nothing on you now.
