1. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers — these UV stickers have SPF recognition and will change colors to let you know both when your SPF is working, and then again when it's time to slather more sunscreen on. Each sticker is water-resistant and works for up to 12 hours. NOT TODAY, SUN!!!
Check out a TikTok of the sunscreen stickers in action.
Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use a sunblock it starts to become clear or semi clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque

Promising review: "I used this fan when I went to the beach with my 7-week-old son! I attached it to his stroller and he stayed cool the whole time he was outside. Since returning we use it in the car, for stroller rides, I even use it when I’m hot in the house! The bendable legs make it easy to attach to any surface or allow it to stand on a flat surface. All around best purchase I have made this summer! Will be purchasing another!" —Jessica

Promising review: "I purchased three packs of these and they are awesome and yes, they really do get colder once wet. It also has a bag and clip to carry it which is super convenient. I just got back from the beach and I used it while laying in the hot sun. All I did is wet it and put it around my neck and over my shoulders and it instantly cooled me down. And it stayed cool for 30 minutes because it dried. Once wet, it was instantly cold again. Great purchase!" —Donna C.

4. Neutrogena Beach Defense Water Resistant Sunscreen, which reviewers love not only for its high level of protection but also because, unlike a *ton* of other leading brands, this doesn't leave a white cast on darker skin tones.
Promising review: "The BEST sunscreen I have ever used! I am always prone to burn any time i get out in the sun. I decided to take a trip to the beach this summer, and just went kayaking for four hours on the water in the BEAMING sun and in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY. I put sunscreen everywhere except for my chest. Wanna know where my skin is resembling that of a cherry? My chest. The rest of me? TANNING WITH NO BURN WHATSOEVER!!! I was shocked. I love this product and will forever recommend it for the rest of my life. Stay safe and stay unaffected from the sun you guys!!!" —Channing C.

5. Plus 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.
Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!
Promising review: "Upon planning our vacation to the beach, I ordered sunscreen, suntan lotion, and sunburn relief from Amazon and packed in our beach bag. Day two of our vacation on a cloudy day on the beach in Florida, my husband got sunburned on his feet, legs, and chest. He started putting sunburn relief on his skin the same day he got burned and we are on day four and he never peeled, was not in pain, and his sunburn is now tan. This lotion truly works & will be a staple now in our home." —ymucnxigv
Get it from Amazon for $10.02.

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: "This hat is comfortable, well made, and cute! It is now my go-to hat for casual days when I put my hair in a ponytail. I have also worn it playing tennis and found that it's more comfortable than wearing a visor. The back elastic really keeps the hat secure without feeling too tight. I have the black twill, and would love to see it in other colors in this fabric for walking, running, and tennis. Love." —Me
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in 11 styles).
7. A shaved ice machine for snow cones on demand — TBH you're going to become the local snow cone bartender of your neighborhood in no time with a gadget like this. Reviewers mention flavoring their ice with everything from syrup to soda to frozen drink mixes to hot sauce 🔥.
Promising review: "When I bought it, I only hoped it would make the shaved ice I love without crunchy bits in it. I did not expect it to do so, but bought it anyhow for at least small ice. It turns out, it really does make great shaved ice that is not crunchy. The ice is delightfully like snow. I have started making 'snacks' of shaved ice with it and freezing a second bowl of it for later. Each little round block of ice makes about two bowls full of light, fluffy shaved ice. I have been eating the ice plain, because I just like plain ice most of the time, but I plan to go add some of the flavorings to my cart soon to try those out too. I love this little machine." —Brandywine
You can try a sampler of Hawaiian Shaved Ice's syrup flavors also available on Amazon!
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
8. A reclining, adjustable Ostrich chaise lounge ideal for beach naps and reading thanks to the deeply convenient face hole in the upper part of it that makes it easy to comfortably lay on your stomach.
Check out a TikTok of the chaise lounge chair in action.
Promising review: "While I usually sit upright most of the time at the beach, having the option to be able to lay face down and read is so amazing. We spent six hours at the beach the other day and I downloaded some of my TV from Netflix to catch up on and used a large towel and draped it over the sides of the headrest and had my own little personal theater in the fresh air! It's very light and easy to carry and the sand comes off super easily. The cushion around the face opening makes it super comfortable as well!!! Love this thing! —The Curl Girl
Get it from Amazon for $67.95+ (available in five colors).
9. 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 beach, the porch, or the park.
Psst — a lot of reviewers swear by this for easy hands-free shade solutions for strollers and wheelchairs as well!
Promising review: "Game changer for the beach. Decided I needed an umbrella this year for the beach but carrying a full size wasn't going to work. Found the personal umbrellas on Amazon and read the reviews and checked how you attached them. This umbrella is excellent. I have been careful not to over tighten or force it into positions without loosening first. It really can go in any direction you need. Very lightweight but held up great. Only issue is in a strong wind it will shift but that is to be expected. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in two sizes and eight colors).
10. Or a versatile UPF 50+ protected canopy umbrella perfect for shielding the fam from the sun's rays — this is vented for efficient airflow to keep the wind from knocking it over, and can be used as a regular umbrella or a half-dome that resembles a tent. It even comes with ground stakes and tie-down chords to keep it locked in place on windier days!
Promising review: "At the beach, the wind was fairly strong, but the umbrella held up great for our weekend trip! I found that putting sand around the edges of the umbrella to help support the anchors was helpful. The flaps that allow wind kept me shaded, cool and breezy. It even rained for a few minutes, but my wife and I stayed nice and chill under the umbrella. We loved it!" —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in three colors).
11. A nontoxic, family-friendly outdoor/indoor bug zapper so you can camp or chill out on the patio all summer long without waking up the next morning with bites all over your body realizing you weren't just eating dinner outside, you *were* something's dinner outside. This works on mosquitoes, flies, stinkbugs, moths, *and* gnats by attracting them and zapping them both inside and out of the home.
Promising review: "Within 10 minutes of plugging this baby in (during the day I might add!), we heard our first BUZZZZZ! Within an hour and many more buzzes, things got quiet! And our house was finally free of flies! They have been out of control INSIDE OUR HOUSE this year. We live in Florida, so we are used to mosquitoes and flies, but it's been so bad! We've tried numerous things outside, but somehow they still come in! We don't leave food out EVER, so it's not like counters etc. aren't clean. They are! But the flies have been driving us nuts! After four days, I now just turn it on in the evening for a couple of hours, and I hear several buzzes, then the house is clear. The flies love the light! They come from far and near to investigate it! The machine is quiet until it zaps! But it truly works! There are no chemicals or smells. It's safe to have around — much safer than having flies buzzing around! I hope it lasts a long time! But for now, it's at the top of the list for 'best purchases of the year'!" —BarbR
Get it from Amazon for $29.59 (get this price by clipping the 20% off coupon on the product page).
12. Sun Bum's SPF 30 Sunscreen Lip Balm made with aloe and Vitamin E to keep your lips moisturized and protected all summer long. Plus, with flavors as fun as coconut, banana, and watermelon (respectful pause for the Harry Styles fans), you'll be that much more likely to remember to reapply throughout the day.
Promising review: "I love anything Sun Bum, so I purchased this before going to Hawaii. I've gotten sun blisters on my lips in the past from other brands, but this one never fails me! They are all very moisturizing and smell great." —Stacie Patatore
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99.
13. A mini sprinkler pool that will feel a little bit like cheating at life, because how can something so ridiculously easy to set up keep the kiddos entertained for so many hours?? Reviewers also love the letters and animals printed on the surface as a cute learning opportunity for the younger set.
14. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm to apply between your thighs or under your bra to avoid all that skin irritation in ~hot spots~ you get in the summer.
I swear by this to the point where if I can't find it in the morning of a run, I just won't go out, LOLOL. My boobs chafe SO BADLY under my sports bra bands, no matter what kind I'm wearing, but putting on a tiny bit of this before I leave works like a charm. Absolutely no more friction and no more going "OW OW OW" in the shower because my literal boob wounds were stinging.
Promising review: "This stuff saved my beach vacation. My son always gets nasty chafe and rub rash from playing in the water and then running around in his wet shorts. Usually half way through the day he's ready to go because it stings so bad, then it's going home slathering the rash with cream while he sits on the couch. We put this on his inner thighs every day before we went to the beach and never even had pinkish skin, never mind a rash!! It's very dry, non-greasy and goes on smooth and colorless just like a deodorant with no scent either. It's absolutely a lifesaver!!!" —C. Millin
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
15. A versatile UPF 50 protective neck drape you can easily attach to the back of any hat for some ~extra credit~ sun protection. The fabric is also cooling and quick-drying, making it ideal for beachwear or sweaty days.
Promising review: "Deployed to the desert. Started doing long runs and I ordered this not sure what to expect. Turns out this item is freaking awesome. What's great is you are not limited to what hat you have to wear. I have paired mine with a North Face running hat and it has been great at keeping me cooler than I thought it would. I honestly thought it would feel closed in, like it was holding in heat, but it actually feels great. Plus the fact it's easily removable is nice for easy storage. Small, light, easy on and off, easy to pack, works great, what's not to love." —happy bill
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 15 colors).
16. A set of DripDrop hydration packets, an electrolyte drink mix infused with potassium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C that you can stir into your water to help speed up hydration and help restore energy levels when you're dehydrated from spending too much time in the sun.
I'm a long distance runner and recently tried the Strawberry Lemonade and Fruit Punch flavors after some 10-milers in the heat — I wasn't expecting them to taste so good considering they're half the sugar of sports drinks, but damn?? These tasted just as flavorful as Gatorade, even when I put them in 16 ounces of water instead of the recommended eight. Usually I feel pretty sluggish by mid-afternoon on days when I go on long runs but I felt fine after chugging one of these packets, so it definitely does the trick.
Promising review: "This was my first experience with DripDrop or any electrolyte powder for that matter. I ordered these to try them out for a beach vacation this summer and it truly made a difference! My family and I noticed we didn’t feel sluggish from sitting in the sun and sweating for hours. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the flavor but the fruit punch flavor reminds me exactly of Hawaiian Punch!" —Mary
Get a 16-count pack from Amazon for $18.99 (available in eight flavor packs and in 32-count packs).
17. A two-pack of TikTok-famous Dan-O's seasoning, a low-sodium, hecka-flavorful option for summer grilling made with dried herbs, citrus, and granulated onion and garlic that reviewers love to jazz up everything from fish to beef to eggs to fruits and veggies.
Dan O's seasoning is a small business established in 2017 that gained popularity after taking to TikTok during the pandemic, where the company now has 1.5 million followers with plenty of droolworthy food content.
Promising review: "I became interested in this product while watching TikToks. I have been adding it to so many things. I use it in spaghetti, on fish, and one of my favorites is to add it to popcorn. My husband had to ask why my popcorn smelled like steak. I love the fact that it is low sodium as well. I am not a fan of extra salt and most foods already have plenty of salt but need some seasoning. This should be your go-to seasoning." —Heartcri
Get a pack of two (one original, one spicy) from Amazon for $21.61.
18. 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).
Promising review: "These headbands are fantastic! I have super curly hair, and typically headbands slip and slide around on me. I wear these exclusively when working out, and considering my slippery hair and the amount of perspiration I experience during a workout, these are a great solution. And the colors all match the gym clothes that I already own!" —Jessica A. Nicosia
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $15.99.
19. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller you simply swipe over your face like a magic wand that makes excess oil disappear — super convenient and *way* less wasteful than using blotting strips and time wasting than fancy powders that need a ton of blending work.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
20. A nifty leakproof, portable dog water bottle with a mini dish so your furriest friend can stay hydrated all year long. Bonus: If there's any leftover water in the dispenser, you can press the button to swish it back into the bottle to avoid any waste!
Promising review: "We take our dogs to the beach every weekend. Our older dog has kidney disease so it's important for him to have access to fresh water at all times. He instantly loved his new dog water bowl, as did our other two dogs. With three dogs, we bring extra water to fill the base bottle. The unit was water tight and we like how the unused water can drain back into the base with a press of the button. Will buy a second one for sure." —EveC
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
21. A delightful little tool called the Bug Bite Thing that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness — perfect for family hikes, camping trips, and other fun outdoor shenanigans.
This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more (although TBH, if this list of bugs gets any longer I may just stay indoors forever!!).
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and have been having issues with mosquito bites. Used it a few time to relieve itchiness and I am convinced it works! Have been recommending it to my family and friends. Read the directions and follow them carefully. Don't use this on your face or neck, or other sensitive areas. Don't do a lot of suction, just a little bit. And do it a few times if needed. Great invention!" —Joe
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).
22. 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.
It has three speeds to choose from and also lights up, making you more visible at night. Reviewers note that you should definitely put your hair in a ponytail (but that it's easy to unsnag if it gets caught).
Promising review: "Bought this for my husband to use at the beach. He loves it!! It’s a gadget you didn’t know you needed until you get it. It actually moves A LOT of air. He uses it when he’s outside grilling too. Great buy! Very well made and I love that its rechargeable." —Stacie Ball
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five colors).
23. A sleek time-marked water bottle that says "hydration, but make it chic." Reviewers love this bottle not just for the chic frosted, minimalist look, but because it's super lightweight, leakproof, and motivational re: keeping yourself fully watered.
Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look and cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate, definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Fast delivery and very nice packaging." —Rosa
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
24. Or an insulated tumbler tens of thousands of reviewers swear by for keeping their cold brew and iced tea so cold, the ice doesn't melt even after a full 12 hours. Bonus? It comes with two lids! One is a flip-top lid for hot drinks, and the other is a lid with a straw for all your cold ones. Get you an insulated tumbler that can do both!!!
Promising review: "Another 'TikTok made me do it' purchase. I love this tumbler. This is the most gorgeous simple tumbler you could get. It comes with two different lids, one for straws, and one for sipping. It also comes with two plastic straws but you can use stainless steel ones instead if desired. The cup keeps your drinks cold or hot and is fairly durable. Although the straw lid is not 'spill proof' it is fairly resistant. My 2-year-old loves to carry it around and use the straw, it usually doesn't leak if it's knocked over! Overall the wait for this particular color is well worth it and I plan to buy more!" —Sinaxis
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 41 colors and six sizes).
25. An oatmeal paw butter for your furry friend whose paws might be a little dry or cracked from the summer heat and need some relief. Pet owners have mentioned in the reviews that they've noticed improvements on scabs and dryness from the first use!
Promising review: "One of my puppers is a super-athlete who lives to go for walks and on runs. She is about 9 now and the vet gave her a stellar bill of health save one thing: her pads were getting really rough and worn from paved trails and city walks and this may be uncomfortable, especially as summer comes and pavement heats up. I was skeptical about any kind of balm as I figured that it would leave a mess on my floors or one/both dogs would just lick it off their feet. No problems whatsoever, and after a single application, both dogs' pads are really soft and supple. Hopefully the dogs can feel the difference. I can surely see it and feel it. Also, the balm smells like oatmeal cookies, so bonus for that." —LRL
Get it from Amazon for $9.50.
26. A facial ice roller you can stash in the fridge or freezer to help with all *kinds* of miscellaneous summer annoyances, like sunburns, overheating, and heat-induced migraines.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this product. I wasn't sure how it was much different than rolling any other frozen thing on your body. I'm beyond pleasantly surprised. I've used it for sinus pain, migraines, swollen neck glands, under-eye circles/bags, inflamed acne, TMJ pain, etc. Not to mention, when I used it on my face, it leaves my skin feeling tight and wakes me up in the mornings. It also stays cold for forever but never sweats or leaves water behind. It's like magic. I also bought one for my mom who suffers from nerve damage in her arms and legs. I think it'll really help when she has bad pain days." —Jessica McRee
Get it from Amazon for $16.14+ (available in eight colors).
27. A cropped workout tank with a padded built-in bra so versatile you'll want to pair it with everything in your closet. Reviewers love this top because it's compressive enough for a sweat sesh, but comfy enough for all your athleisuring needs.
TBH, this crossed my radar because of Stephanie Buttermore, a popular YouTuber who shares stories of her gym routines on Instagram.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and was hesitant cause I’m used to buying, like, cheap $5 crop tops, but thank you to whoever on TikTok posted these because I’m gonna end up buying backups and every color. They’re so cute but still laid back and can be used from day to day going out or working out. They make the girls look great too without having to wear a bra underneath. A little pricey but so worth it." —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
28. A pair of UV protective driving gloves with a breathable mesh interior to protect your hands from sun damage while also keeping them breezy. Also who doesn't love a retro driving glove moment?? It's also for the aesthetic.
Grace Fiber Art is a California-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in hats, gloves, and other accessories.
Promising review: "These gloves fit well and do the trick. I drive and my hands were getting sun damaged. Not anymore. Love the fact they are lightweight for summer, and the thumb and finger holes are convenient. Not slippery when turning the wheel." —Chanel Rayfield
Get it from Grace Fiber Art on Etsy for $14.99 (available in three colors).
29. An inflatable pool because your tiny backyard doesn't mean you don't deserve big pool dreams. This one even comes with an inflatable pillow built in for maximum relaxation vibes.
Promising review: "Good size. I'm 5'4" and I bought it for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old for the spring and summer. I didn't need anything huge. I have a nice size deck and we spend a lot of time on the deck, so I wanted something big enough for them to have some wiggle room to keep cool but not too big so it wouldn't take up to much room. I also purchased an outdoor grass rug to put it on to protect the bottom of it and keep it from getting splinters (just a suggestion if you plan on using on the deck). It has a drain plug, so cleaning and getting fresh water is not hard at all." —Majestic 0220
Get it from Amazon for $52.99.
30. A chic BruMate insulated can cooler so all your beloved White Claws, Red Bulls, and LaCroixs can stay cool as a cucumber in the sun, and you can enjoy them while taking your sweet time.
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: "I was a little skeptical of this because the price was a little higher than I thought it should be. But after a friend let me borrow hers for a hot day on the beach I was a believer. It fits a White Claw or similar drink perfectly, it is easy to grip, easy to clean, and keeps your drink COLD. I have gotten a ton of compliments on this. whenever it’s gotten a little dirty I just throw it in the dishwasher and it’s good as new." —Suzanne S.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 28 colors).
31. A portable Chill-O-Matic Instant Beverage Cooler, aka every finicky cold bevvie drinker's DREAM. This gadget can take a 12-ounce can of seltzer, soda, or beer at room temperature and make it ice cold in just one minute. A lot of people who complain that their fridge doesn't make drinks "cold enough" also swear by this for an extra icy kick.
Check out a TikTok of the Chill-O-Matic in action.
Promising review: "I was so afraid of wasting money. But I didn’t. I love my sodas cold. But sometimes there’s not a cold one available, and waiting 30-40 min for one to get cold in the freezer is not always ideal. This will get your room temp can to fridge cold in 90 seconds. I let it run double that to get almost freezer cold. I wish it had a power cord. But I do appreciate the portability that the batteries provide. I can’t wait to try it out on vacationing, as access to cold sodas isn’t always available. All you need is a literally a little bit of ice." —G. Massey
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
32. A sleek pair of sports sunglasses designed to stay put on your head without hurting your temples — a perfect way to get sun protection *and* flex a casual "cast me in your action movie" look at the same time.
Promising review: "Bought these for running, 10/10. They are lightweight and fit just snug enough to make them feel secure but not uncomfortable. The wrap-around lens gives excellent sun protection. The case is very durable and keeps them clean and secure when not in use. While I bought these for running I have started to use them when mowing the lawn as they give such good coverage over the eyes when on the zero turn. I have been a runner since junior high and still enjoy it. I run typically three times a week. These are the best running sunglasses I have ever used. I also like the look of the orange reflective tint. I may just buy another pair for the tractor and leave one pair dedicated to running. In short would definitely buy again." —mark gosling

Check out a TikTok of the Slushy Maker Cup in action — it even comes with a spill-proof lid so it won't leak while you're crushing the cup!

Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business established in 2016 that specializes in hats combining fashion and function to protect against all types of weather.
Promising review: "I never carry an umbrella cause they’re too bulky, so when I saw the Hairbrella I was so excited. It keeps my hair dry and my curls nicely quaffed, rather than me looking like I stuck my fingers in a light socket. I’m telling everyone I know about it, it’s an amazing alternative to those wide-brimmed hats or a briefcase LOL! Truly it’s never going to leave my side from now on! I definitely recommend it." —Gina C.

Promising review: "I bought this to help with sunburns and it is AMAZING! I first heard of it because I got a sample size in my Ipsy. Sunburns take forever to heal on me and after applying this, my burns are practically gone in a day. I also use this on my kiddo’s sand rash from his wetsuit and it felt better faster than Bag Balm." —Lost Naiad
Get it from Amazon for $14.40.
38. A cold brew coffee maker so gloriously easy to use that all you have to do is stick your favorite ground coffee in the filter, seal the airtight lid on top, and pop it in the fridge overnight. Boom, 4 cups of cold brew to keep you chill in the warm summer sun.
Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, i love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment i've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E.

Promising review: "I can honestly say I now can’t use my phone in the sun without it! It took a second to get going and to realize you have to point it at the sun to put your face in the shade. Literally the best thing ever for the sun." —Harley Place

Promising review: "So, I purchased this product after seeing it on TikTok. This spray works VERY well with not sensitive skin. For me, I have not experienced ANY breakouts, nor have I experienced any rashes. Overall, it's AMAZING and I use on the daily." —GoodLife7

41. A cooling elevated pet bed made of a breathable fabric that prevents "hot spots" and increases air flow, so your doggo can safely people-watch with you outdoors all summer long.
Promising review: "I bought this bed so my dog could lie outside on the porch without having to lie directly on concrete. It took approximately 20 minutes to put together on my own (a bit difficult to get the last screw attached), though it was fairly easy to construct without assistance. As soon as I had it put together, I put it outside and used a treat to alert my dog to its presence. She had no hesitation stepping onto the bed and now really enjoys it! It's been about a month and it seems to be holding up well. She loves to sleep on it and usually decides to lay outside on her Coolaroo bed after dinner until bedtime when I call her inside." —Megan
Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in six colors and three sizes).
