1. A set of two ~zero gravity~ reclining porch chairs complete with a pillow *and* a side table to stash drinks, phones, and books. They also fold quickly and compactly so you can take them wherever, and are made with a heat-resistant mesh so you won't scorch your unsuspecting legs whenever you park your bum in it.
2. A durable, waterproof Bluetooth speaker so you can have some tunes for socially-distanced picnics, outdoor workouts, or hanging out on the porch without worrying about frying its wires in the rain.
3. A Wi-Fi-connected movie projector that easily converts any wall, both indoor and outdoor, into a personal theater. Once you sync it with a device like your phone or laptop, you can use it to project your fave Disney movies, at-home workouts, and even to play video games outside after the sun goes down.
4. A multipurpose, super adaptable pool float you can turn into a lounger, a chair, a drifter, or an exercise saddle for socially-distanced pool hangs and workouts.
5. A waterproof and portable inflatable lounger so easy to use that it'll feel like you found a cheat code for life — you literally just hold onto it and snap it into the air, letting the wind fill it up. Boom, instant cozy chair in any socially-distanced spot you can find.
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. An insulated cooler backpack, so now you can pack all your various picnic cheeses and charcuteries without one of your shoulders disproportionately hauling all of the goodness. It even comes with an attached bottle opener, y'all.
8. A scent-free, cordless Thermacell mosquito-repelling shield that claims to be six times more effective than 42 (!!) citronella candles at keeping the pesky critters off your back porch and yard. It generates heat to disperse deterrent from a repellent mat, which gives a 15 feet worth of protection for 12 hours — all without a trace of DEET.
9. A highly popular lightweight, durable hammock for lazy afternoons reading in the backyard or a clever, cozy lounging solution on hiking and camping trips. It's made of soft parachute nylon that is not only super strong, but can pack down to the size of a grapefruit for easy storage.
10. A handy hydration pack for walkers and runners who have turned "outside" into their gym. This has a super durable, leakproof water bladder on the inside attached to a nozzle you can drink from, plus lil' pockets to stash keys and mid-walk snacks.
11. A UV-blocking canopy shade you can easily install on an uncovered porch to keep things from getting too toasty for you and your furriest friends.
12. A set of soft, workout-friendly Reebok face masks for anyone who has been running in the summer heat.
13. A chic, statement-making visor you can throw on to prevent face mask tan lines in the moments when your sunscreen might not be cutting it (and you don't want to smush your hair).
14. Or a waterproof sun hat with a wide brim to keep your cheeks out of the sun now that a lot of us are out power-walking and running instead of going to the gym (anyone got any podcast recs??).
15. A hands-free portable neck fan you can charge with a USB, because sometimes you're just not going to be able to avoid walking out in the heat in a face mask, and this is an easy way to stay cool.
16. A water-resistant, durable picnic blanket designed to be *super* easy to clean, with a fabric that lets you easily brush off crumbs, dirt, and sand. Reviewers also mention how soft and comfy it is, and how nicely if rolls up to take on the go.
17. A rock painting kit for both kids and adults — this is not only great for getting your eyeballs off of your screens for a little while, but a fun opportunity to leave happy little rocks around your neighborhood with sweet messages for anyone passing by ❤️.
18. A portable hybrid camping lantern and fan that is truly just doing the most and making all your other gadgets look like slackers. It's designed with 18 LED lights to operate both as a flashlight and a tent light, thanks to a hooking mechanism, and the fan operates at two speeds to keep you cool. Some reviewers just hung several of them on their porch for an easy lighting/cooling fix.
19. A mini trampoline for outdoor and indoor use, so you can start unleashing your inner bouncy-house-loving kid by blowing off steam during the day or diving into all the trampoline workouts online.
20. A family-friendly backyard sprinkler for some socially distanced pool shenanigans in the comfort of your own home.
21. Or a majestic, ginormous unicorn sprinkler for the backyard that will make your house the most magical one on the whole block 🦄.
22. A lightweight, portable camping chair designed with nylon mesh fabric for extra ventilation from the heat and padding to be extra gentle on your back and tush. Not only does this come with a built-in beverage holder, the other arm has a beverage COOLER that holds up to four cans — perfect for all your socially-distanced afternoons full of seltzers and brews.
23. A bubble machine, because why have a regular old porch when you can have the most fun porch on the whole darn block??
24. A set of jumbo sidewalk chalk so you can make the whole neighborhood your canvas by setting up fun games or sweet messages for friends' birthdays on their driveway from a social distance.
25. A hand-operated mini drone for that "just got my Hogwarts robes" feeling — this mini drone levitates in the air after you gently toss it, and you can use your palm to control its direction. If you place your palm directly under it and move your hand up, it'll rise like you're a legit magician.
26. A weatherproof, ventilated sundome tent complete with an e-port that makes it easier to pull electric corded devices through it. Plus, this lightweight bb can be set up in ten minutes or less.
