    If Your Summer Calendar Is Filled With Outdoor Activities, Add These 38 Things To Your Cart Immediately

    Bring on the sun, bugs, and heat — they've got nothing on these products that will keep you ~cool for the summer~.

    1. A handy as heck sunburn soother you'll probably want to stock up on now to have on hand this summer — it's 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: "I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn. It was unbelievable. I applied this four times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day. The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better. I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." —Carolina G.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    2. A pair of popular cushioned "recovery" sandals perfect for anyone who is craving all the cute summer fashion with a side of ridiculous comfort (and pain relief!). Not only are these super cute, but reviewers with pain from plantar fasciitis, bunions, spondylilothesis, and other chronic conditions absolutely swear by them, with a ton saying they're like walking on ~clouds~. 

    Promising review: "I have ordered several pairs trying to find the one that lives up to its hype, well this one is it. Super cushy, fits true to size — I ordered the mauvish pink colored one and love it. I will be ordering a black pair. I have a heel spur and planters fasciitis so regular flip flops bother me after wearing several hours, these do not. Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend." —leah

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 21 colors). 

    3. A set of DEET-free handy mosquito-repelling bracelets you'll definitely want to invest in this summer — these use essential oils, including citronella, to help stop those teensy vampires in their tracks.

    Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day and it seemed to work SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice but both times I was outside and un-touched. Delivery was very quick so that was a plus. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hyper sensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." —Tracey Agopian

    Get a ten-pack from Amazon for $9.99

    4. A delightful little tool called the Bug Bite Thing that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness.

    Rebecca O'Connell / BuzzFeed

    Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small business established in 2017 that specializes in bug bite relief products. 

    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 times 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 $9.90 (available in three colors). 

    5. A truly multi-talented set of cooling towels you can use to beat the heat — all you have to do is wet these and they get chilly, perfect for draping on your head, neck, or other overheated areas. Once the chill runs out you can wet them again to get it back!  

    Promising review: "I saw these recommended on a TikTok for disabled people who can't regulate their temperature in the heat, and omg, was it worth buying them. You just add cold water and it's like an ice pack without the burning of the ice. They worked great for cooling my arm after the Covid shot! Excited to use them all summer!" —Muirgen Neal

    Get a set of four for $19.99+ (available in 12 color combos). 

    6. A reusable outdoor fly trap that will be a *godsend* for anyone dealing with flies sneaking in through their open doors or throwing raves without a permit in their backyards. This fast-acting trap works on hundreds of common fly species to restore peace to your outdoor space again, 

    Psst — this emits a strong odor and should only be used outdoors, 20 feet away from people. 

    Promising review: "Flies were all around it within minutes. It stinks! That’s what attracts them. I saw this trap on TikTok, that’s how I discovered it, and I’m definitely going to buy another one. It is fantastic. Amazing." —ML0818

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    7. 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.

    Reviewer using Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller

    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 $12.89.  

    8. 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).

    A reviewer photo showing the 10 colors the sweatbands come in

    Promising review: "I wasn't certain if these would work for me or not. Since they aren't cotton, they're spandex, I thought they'd slip easily. You know what? They didn't. They not only didn't slip, but I love the colors. I love them so much I'm going to purchase the same style headbands from them but in different colors!" —Teresa T

    Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $13.99.

    9. longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for workouts *and* errand running. Bonus — a lot of reviewers say this compares beautifully to Lululemon's "Align"! 

    Reviewer in a white V-neck crop top
    Reviewer in black version

    Promising review: "I never, never, never leave reviews on products, but with this one, it's well well worth it and I haven't even worked out in it yet! I'm a 36DD (I ordered a large for reference), so finding a good, supportive sports bra can be a bit difficult to find. I found this one the way a Gen Z'er does: TikTok. It is absolutely deserving of the praise it gets! This sports bra can even double as a tank top if you're running from the gym to get coffee or to home, so it's absolutely perfect! It's such a cute top and I can't wait to see how well it supports my workouts! I bought it in dusty blue and I'll be back for more of the colors!" —Robert

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 15 colors). 


    10. A portable handheld fan that's also a flashlight that's *also* a power bank for phones, all of which to say is that this tiny gadget it is officially working overtime. Travelers especially love all three of these deeply convenient functions!!

    Promising review: "Our vacation planner suggested getting something like this for when you're waiting in line at an amusement park when the sun is out. Best advice ever, used this when we were at Disney this past year. It's lightweight and doesn't weigh you down, the fan has adjustable speeds and also includes a phone charger via USB A port and also a flashlight function. Love that it folds up nice and small, great fan that I'd recommend to anyone!" —Andrew

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors). 

    11. 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.

    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

    12. A pair of fluttery running shorts to keep you breezy and chill when the sun decides to *aggressively* join you on your outdoor workouts. 

    Promising review: "I ordered these because I saw them on TikTok. I am 5’10 and 140 pounds. I ordered an extra large and they are perfect! They cover everything and are not too short. I highly recommend them especially for the price!" —MagnoliaBliss

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 28 colors). 


    13. Or a pair of ~butt lifting~ booty shorts, aka a unique, updated version of the bike shorts we all know, love, and low-key live in whenever the sun comes back out. These also win points for comfiness for being seamless and juuuust the right amount of compressive. 

    Reviewer in yellow orange tie dye bike shorts
    Reviewer in black version

    Promising review: "I’ve actively purchased other workout shorts in an effort to find others that I think are equal or better than these. So far, I haven’t. Now, when I first get these, they are a tad more snug than I like, but if I wear them for a few hours, they then mold to my body like they were custom made for me. I hope they never stop making these, and I hope they come out with more colors, especially light ones. These are amazing." A.S. 

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in women's sizes XS–L and 38 styles). 

    14. waterproof pouch to keep your phone and other "doesn't play well with water" type gadgets safe. Not only does this keep it safe but also you can still use the touchscreen with it, meaning you can take underwater travel photos galore 🐠🐟🐡.

    It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options).

    Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck. And so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river, and I just assumed it would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast-forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" —Julie McDonald

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in 14 colors).

    15. 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: "I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out of it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now I want to be sure she is well hydrated. Before I leave the house I fill the holder with ice and water and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around. I know what people with dogs are getting for Christmas this year." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in two colors and two sizes). 

    16. 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. 

    Promising review: "My kids love this. It is soo easy to plug the hose into and turn the water on and the kids can have hours of fun. Once the kids are done playing, I disconnect the hose let the water drain, and hang it over the porch." —Austin

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    17. A family-friendly inflatable backyard pool, because you deserve to feel the majesty of floating in a peaceful watery abyss the *literal moment* it's warm enough outside to do so. Reviewers especially love that this is wide enough to enjoy, but compact enough to work for small backyards. Bonus: it comes with a built-in seat!

    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 $44.34+ (available with and without a pump).

    18. 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 $19.99 (available in three colors and two sizes). 

    19. A cult-fave Mario Badescu Facial Spray infused with cooling aloe and soothing rosewater that you'll be *especially* grateful to have on hand with all the summer dryness and potential sunburns headed your way. This also helps set your makeup with a lovely dewy finish! 

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in five sizes). 

    20. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm you can 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 was a TikTok buy and it was worth it. Highly recommend it. It does the work. Long lasting and not sticky at all." —EBATL

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

    21. A set of shatterproof solar-powered outdoor lights to add some whimsy to your backyard space without using up your electricity. Reviewers are especially impressed by how weatherproof these are, and how they continue to perform over time!

    Check out a TikTok of the solar lights in action. 

    Promising review: "To say I love these lights would be a understatement. They’re easy to hang, great looking, bright, and they work amazingly!!! On a sunny day, these lights charge enough to stay on from sunset to sunrise. Yep! That’s right! They’re still on until sunrise. These are the only brand of solar lights that I’ve ever purchased that last that long (and I’ve gone through more than my share of solar light.). These are DEFINITELY worth the price. You won’t be disappointed!! Btw — this is the fourth set I purchased; I love them that much. The first set I purchased is over a year old and they’re still working as well as they did on day one." —Josie Elliot-Goforth

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two lengths). 

    22. A truly delightful retro-style fringe umbrella you can get in a ton of prints — reviewers love these for the beach, for patio tables, and for picnicking in the park.

    Check out a TikTok of the umbrella in action. 

    Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher end umbrella but still slightly less expensive than the other big name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stays standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The customer service from the company was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn

    Get it from Amazon for $165 (available in seven colors). 

    23. A universal stroller cup holder to change the game for anyone who has a rotation of Too Many Beverages at the tips of their fingers at all times. This secures quickly and easily to strollers, grocery carts, the back of car seats, bicycles, Pelotons, collapsible chairs, and even bags in mere seconds, so you can take your Starbies and LaCroixs wherever you roam.

    Ryan & Rose is a family-owned small business that specializes in parenting and home products. 

    Promising review: "This is the best invention ever! Our stroller does not have a cup holder, now I can hold my drink or my phone/keys/sunglasses. I also bought two more so our boys can keep their water bottles in one spot since they lose them all the time. I’ve put them in the house and I’ve hung them in the car. I think I need 10 more of these things. Must have product." —Healthnut

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 11 colors). 

    24. Plus a CarryAround foldable cup holder perfect for group hangs, pool days, and family meals or vacations — this easily fans out to hold up to four regular or large-sized drinks, so you only have to make one trip to bring coffee or beers or giant waters back to the squad.

    Promising review: "I am obsessed with these! I bought one for myself and immediately turned around and got a four-pack so I can keep extras in my desk at work and my car and give a few to friends. The cardboard carriers that you usually get from restaurants are wasteful and still need to be supported with two hands. With this, I can carry two to four beverages and a bag of take out food all in one hand with a hand free to open doors and such! There is no support underneath so you cannot leave them sitting in the carrier once you're in a car, but I wouldn't trust a cardboard carrier on the seat of my car full of drinks anyway. It is incredibly sturdy and everywhere I go I get constant compliments when I use it! I have run into very few cups that are too large, overall this is a total win! Can't recommend enough." —Allison

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in multipacks). 

    25. 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 twelve hours. NOT TODAY, SUN!!!

    Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree zero clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock

    26. 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

    27. A pair of retro-inspired sunglasses with some subtle "I'm the main character" energy.

    Promising review: "I had originally seen these pair of glasses on TikTok and was very eager to buy them and let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. They are very sturdy, fashionable, and look like a high-end pair of glasses." —Alejandra Larios

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (available in 32 color combinations).

    28. A chic BruMate insulated can cooler so all your beloved White Claws, Red Bulls, and LaCroixs can stay cool as a cucumber, and you can enjoy them while taking your sweet time.

    Reviewer image of a sparkly blue version of the insulator

    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 $18.21+ (available in 28 colors).

    29. 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 $24.12+ (available in six colors and three sizes).

    30. A magnetic Ponyback hat so you can wear your hair up in a ponytail at any height or thickness and pair it with a baseball cap with ease. TBH all your baseball caps with boring immovable ponytail gaps in the back are shaking.

    Ponyback is a woman-owned small business that specializes in versatile magnetic-snap baseball caps designed for all hair types. 

    Promising review: "I am in freaking love with this hat. All my friends tell me how amazing it looks on me. I have been wanting a nice ball cap, but since I normally have my hair up, I couldn’t find one that worked till this came along on my TikTok, and I knew I had to get it. And I was so happy I waited till it was in stock again. I just love this hat. I wasn’t sure about the size but just went for a small/medium size since I thought that would fit, and it’s just perfect when my hair is up. I am so happy." —Naysa H

    Get it from Ponyback for $42 (available in youth size M/L and women's sizes XS–XXLG and in 12 colors). 

    31. A hands-free portable neck fan you can charge with a USB to prevent getting mopped with sweat all summer, 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: "Took this to an all day, HOT day to a theme park. Charged it fully the night before and lasted through the whole day. Felt so cool. Plus at night you got the cool colors." —Paula

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).

    32. 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.

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

    Promising review: "I originally bought this about three years ago and my husband used it and liked it so much recently with all the 'COVID driveway happy hours' he bought an additional one for him. It is easy to maneuver and angle to block the sun, but non-intrusive. It is easy to fold and replace in the carrying case. It is worth every penny." —Sarah B.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).

    33. multipurpose, super adaptable pool float you can turn into a lounger, a chair, a drifter, or an exercise saddle for pool hangs and workouts as the weather starts to warm up.

    Promising review: "These are the best floaties!! They are perfect for vacation because they take up no room to pack. You can also sit on them a few ways like laying back or sitting upright with the floats on either side. I bring them on vacation and people always ask where I got them. They're perfect for laying back with a cool drink." —Jenna DiPaolo

    34. 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

    35. A portable George Foreman grill for anyone whose heart says "BURGERS IN THE SUNSHINE!!" but whose outside space says "I am so small." This has a nonstick coating and a removable stand, so you can cook on a table top or in the grass.

    Promising review: "This is the perfect grill for my apartment balcony. It was easy to clean and it's really nonstick. In comparison to other brands, this actually heat up the plate instead of heating lights. It cooked really well and was very easy to install. I would definitely recommend to purchase this if you have a small balcony." —Amazon Customer

    36. A portable extending fan and diffuser you can use both as a tiny fan for your desk or extend out as a floor fan to cover more ground. Reviewers love that it packs up nice and tight to take on outdoor adventures, and the diffuser (and nightlight!) adds a lovely touch if you need some extra ~ambiance~.

    Promising review: "I love that this fan is great for travel, completely adjustable for height and direction. I have used it every night and will take it with me when I travel. There is also a great nightlight feature." —Rhonda Brander

    37. A pack of unscented antiperspirant wipes that work for up to *seven days* after application — perfect for those of us whose underarms are a little, uh, enthusiastic to say the least. Reviewers especially swear by this for events that might bring on nervous sweating! 

    Psst — you should definitely "patch test" this on a small area of skin before putting it on to make sure you don't have any kind of reaction! 

    Promising review: "So happy I saw this on TikTok! I was skeptical about the product because I am a very heavy sweater. There has been no deodorant that has helped this problem, but these Sweat Block wipes have literally been the best thing I've found that has made the quality of my life so much better!" —Amazon Customer

    38. An attachable beach umbrella table you can clamp right onto the rod to hold all your snacks, drinks, and gadgets off the ground. (Unless you *enjoy* your chips with a side of unsettlingly crunchy sand, in which case, keep doing what you're doing!!)

    Check out a TikTok of the beach umbrella table in action. 

    Promising review: "This worked great for our beach trip! It was nice to be able to have everything out of the sand. We had placed it up at the top by the umbrella and down low so we could reach it while on our chairs. I’d definitely recommend this." —TJ
