We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A shoe-deodorizing spray that'll put an end to sweaty sneaker (or Birks, flats, anything your feet touch) stink as soon as you spritz. May this be the summer our closet actually doesn't smell.
2. A pack of coconut water powder to quench your thirst on-the-go with H2O's fancier sibling. Plus! It's fueled with electrolytes and trace minerals to help you feel even more refreshed — all you have to do is add water.
3. A chafing relief powder gel, because sometimes we need double the protection (especially on super hot days). Reviewers also use this when they wear bathing suits and swear it keeps their thighs *and* bikini lines soothed!
4. A sun visor clip for holding up to two sunglasses at a time, or your regular glasses, to always have both on-hand when driving. Now you can easily switch between the two without digging around your car.
5. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll help prevent over- *and* under-watering your precious plant bbs so they survive even the hottest of summer days. This'll reduce ~water stress~ in plants and protect them from heat and drought.
6. A draft-blocker to make the most of your AC by keeping it *in* the room, instead of letting it escape. You'll stay cool and save money over time now that you don't have to blast your AC to feel it.
7. A set of gel-infused can coolers, because their two-part plastic design literally *locks in* coldness. Throw in their outer neoprene sleeves to insulate, and your drink can actually stay cold for at least four hours.
8. And! A three-in-one stainless-steel bottle cooler so you can keep your vino ice cold no matter how hot it gets. Plus! This also works as an aerator and pourer so your wine is chilled and upgraded in flavor. Win, win.
9. A pressure-activated cooling pad for keeping your pupper safe from overheating when the temps rise. It stays five to ten degrees cooler than room temperature, and even helps to reduce joint pain.
10. A melting gel face cleanser that'll quickly dissolve even a full face of makeup *plus* sweat, dirt, and excess oil (oh, the lovely perks of summer afternoons) without drying our skin. It works fast so even the laziest of us can feel squeaky clean in under a minute.
11. A fermentation kit so you can learn a fun new summer hobby *and* make grilling extra rewarding now that you have homemade sauerkraut for your hot dogs and super fresh pickles.
12. A DHC makeup primer, because this'll keep your full face in place all darn day no matter HOW much you sweat. Humidity is simply no match for this. And! It also helps smooth the appearance of pores and breakouts.
13. A pair of Sanuk flip flops so your piggies can stay unbelievably comfy all day — their cushioning is designed to mimic yoga mat material. Sore heels are no longer in our vocabulary, even after super long walks.
14. A mesh exfoliating towel for preventing backne from appearing yet another summer. This'll make exfoliating your back easy (you can use it with any body wash) so sweat doesn't stand a chance.
15. A pineapple corer that'll make carving up this summertime fave surprisingly easy — no longer will serving this have to be the battle of your life.
16. A set of oil-blotting charcoal sheets for a trusty sidekick whenever humidity blesses us with a shiny T-zone and excess oil. Good thing reviewers say these only require a few pats to bring their complexion back to matte.
17. A cooling weighted blanket, because this'll help you fall (and *stay*) asleep this summer without instantly turning into a puddle of sweat. This'll still apply pressure to help you feel relaxed, but uses glass beads to keep you cool all night.
18. A compatible HydroFlask straw lid so you can put an end to accidentally spilling all over yourself (wide mouth opening = disastrous) when drinking water on-the-go. Staying hydrated shouldn't equal wet T-shirts.
19. A set of ~wine sticks~ for keeping your glasses (and bottles!) secure in the grass when lounging in your backyard. Your vino will stay upright, no matter how engrossed you get in your book.
20. A hands-free dog leash that'll let your pup join in on your daily walks (especially handy if you have a baby carriage in tow) so they can also enjoy the warm weather. You won't have to worry about pulling thanks to its bungee cord, but it *does* come with extra handles for control so you can gently guide without breaking your stride.
21. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to make this the first summer our bikini line doesn't suffer from constant razor burn. Reviewers say it also seriously helps with ingrown hairs, redness, and irritation, meaning shaving all season won't leave our sensitive skin distressed.
22. An over-fire camp grill, because this'll make cooking dinner while camping so much easier. Unless you're only having s'mores for dinner. Which I support.
23. A corn peeler so you can make summery corn salad all season long without any of the usual struggle. Frustration: gone. Waste: eliminated.
24. A cooling towel for an easy way to fight overheating when hiking or camping (or honestly just laying out in your lawn). Just soak it in cold water, wring it out, and it's ready to save the day.
25. A bug bite suction tool that'll play those suckers at their own game. It actually removes insect venom, saliva, and other irritants under your skin to stop the itching and even help ease swelling — meaning this just might be the first summer we don't feel plagued by scratching.
26. A set of extra-large ice cube trays (in both square and sphere) to keep your summer cocktails nice and cold, even when enjoying them on hot afternoons. These take *much* longer to melt so your Negroni will stay chilled.
27. A wildly popular hair serum, because reviewers swear this keeps their tresses frizz-free no matter *how* humid it gets. It's infused with vitamin E, aloe vera, and argan oil to promote shine, keep both curly and straight hair smooth, and overall tell the summer heat to stay AWAY.
28. A portable fan (that actually doubles as a lantern) so camping doesn't mean sweating your tuchas off during extra hot days or nights. Plus! Now you have an easy source of light when it gets dark out.
29. A set of (frozen) vegan hot dogs for getting your grill on, even if you're a vegetarian or vegan. Their ingredients are simple: fresh beets, sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, sunflower seeds, gluten-free flours, herbs, and spices. The result? Finally having your own delicious plate (that tastes like the real deal!) at your family's BBQ.
30. A well-loved Bioré UV water-based sunscreen that'll protect your face from sun damage without messing up your makeup or irritating sensitive skin (or eyes). Plus, its formula *also* leaves your skin feeling dewy thanks to hyaluronic acid, royal jelly extract, and citrus mix so you're more motivated to wear it.
31. Or! A moisturizing, sweat-resistant SPF 30 sunscreen specifically designed not to leave a white cast on darker skin tones — it dries completely clear to leave your makeup undisturbed. It's even infused with avocado, jojoba, cacao, carrot juice, and sun flower oil to soothe and hydrate your skin on super hot days!
32. An easy-to-use paw cleaner to end your day of fun on a *good* note with your pup by making sure their lil' paws are mud-free before entering the house. Playing outside is all fun and games until the carpets are ruined.
33. A cherry pitter, because this'll make snacking on your porch more enjoyable now that you don't have to spit out pits with every bite. Nothing should distract you from reading your newest book.
34. A pair of cool and silky pillowcases with cooling fabric on *both* sides so summer nights no longer mean sweaty nights. This'll keep you from overheating, no matter how many times you flip it.
35. A set of silicone glasses grips reviewers use for making their sunglasses more comfortable (so long, ear pain) *and* keeping 'em in place so they stop sliding down their nose.
36. A watermelon cuber that'll put an end to wrestling with your favorite warm weather snack. Its easy-to-use design requires one thing you: to push it. It'll take care of the rest.
Still me .05 seconds into summer every year, but at least now my thighs are safe:
