It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS.
Promising review: "I bought this before I went on a cruise. We stayed in a hotel for a few days prior and I got a little toasty by the sun. Used this and it helped drown down the burn feeling and helped heal my skin within days. By the cruise I was fine with no pains from the burn. Continued to use it daily while on vacation. Works like charm. Love it! Smells great too! Its not a loud smell or anything. Would totally recommend and buy again!" —Victoria Ramsey

Lightshare is a small business! Reviewer's note that while the palm tree withstands weather well, it is not wind-proof and should be weighed down.
Promising review: "We love our new tree, it's sitting on our porch over looking real palm trees in our yard. We live in the Florida Keys and it fits right in here. We'll keep it up the entire year. Not too expensive either, looks just like the picture when lit up." —Donald S,

3. A stylish cedar privacy screen that'll make your deck look a touch more put together without you having to empty your savings account or call upon The Property Brothers for a pricey renovation.
Promising review: "My husband and I purchased two of these for our backyard patio so we can have some privacy from our neighbors. The height is perfect. If you're looking for a privacy wall, I would suggest purchasing two. We added river rocks inside each of the planter boxes to support our privacy wall in the strong winds. We also painted these with two coats of spar urethane to protect the wood in all weather environments just as a precaution.
***Update*** It’s been over a year since I purchased this product, and this held up throughout Northeast Ohio windy lake effect snow storms without any problem! I am so happy my river rocks worked, and I also tied this down to my deck railings during the winter as an extra precaution. As long as you weigh it down and secure it properly, you won’t have any issues." —Kristina Marie
Get it from Amazon for $317.85.

I am the person a mosquito will find from miles away even in my house. The only one they find in a room full of people. I live in a tropical climate and never have a moment's peace in my garden. I've used sprays, foggers, candles, torches, the list goes on. This is the first time I've been able to sit on my patio in peace, even the cat was safe. Already ordered another for a friend and put the refills on subscribe and save." —J&J

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

Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings, to adjust the amount of brightness you need. Lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. Brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. We decided to try and play outside. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan

I used the Flip 4 for years now and then upgraded to the Pulse 4 and neither have failed me yet! The music is clear and crisp even when I'm using it outside at the windy beach. Definitely a fan — it does exactly what it should!
Promising review: "I’ve had this almost three years now. Couldn’t be happier with this speaker. It has accompanied me on many beach trips and float trips. It’s gotten covered in sand, dunked in water, and just keeps on playing. Music quality is solid with plenty of volume. I've owned quite a few Bluetooth speakers and this has been my fav. You won’t be disappointed." —Amazon Customer

I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a chew-proof bed! We are really looking forward to the ability to keep our boys cool! Most beds we buy they end up getting off and onto the floor due to being hot in the night. As of this moment my GSD has not gotten off the bed. He is fast asleep! 🥰" —Deborah Ulloa

Promising review: "Developed a garden on the apartment patio, and wanted to add some lights along the railing to give it some character. These solar lights are not too bright and were easy to install. All lights work, which is great. Better than could have hoped for. 👍" —KMF

Promising review: "Absolutely love the dim feature! These bulbs are more round than oval like others, but I love them. When they are off, there’s a cool yellow in them that offers a lovely aesthetic when not in use. Our pergola is wired for lights so we mounted them on and almost always dim them because the white pergola reflects the light. These lights have made our patio my new favorite spot in the house. My husband and I find the evenings so relaxing, we’ve literally grown closer together from spending time out under the lights in our new favorite place." —fishurmo
Get them from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 27, 48, and 97 feet).

The corners of the sails have D rings so you can attach them to whatever you'd like with your choice of hardware or rope.
Promising review: "Purchased this to increase privacy and provide some shade. The color is vibrant, hasn't faded, and the loops are well stitched. The sail has also fared well in winds, thunderstorms, monsoon rain, and the brutal heat of Vegas. Shade is wonderful and one can definitely feel the temperature difference from full sun to being under this sail. The look and feel compliments our pool area and will certainly be purchasing an additional one." —VHC Media
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 78 sizes and eight colors/patterns).
19. A gazebo with curtains to provide shade for you and your friends while you ~throw shade~ about the other people in your lives.
Promising review: "This gazebo went together beautifully. My husband was VERY impressed with the quality and ease of assembly. He likes things that go together smoothly! Yes, there are many pieces but just follow the directions and you shouldn't have any trouble. Two of us put it together in a leisurely and relaxed six hours. All the bits and pieces lined up perfectly making the assembly a fun experience. The color is lovely and the roof is opaque so lighting gets through and the roof also has UV protection." —MW

Promising review: "Have wanted to get a wood-fired pizza oven for a while. This is a great starter. It's a small unit, easy to put together and move. If you're familiar with charcoal or pellet cooking you'll find this easy to use and maintain. The first pizza we made came out perfect and we haven't had trouble yet!" —MK
Get it from Amazon for $178.99.
21. A splurge-worthy above ground pool that'll be a whole lot easier to add to your yard than having your entire backyard dug up for an in ground version. Hope you've got your bathing suit ready!
Promising review: "We are so happy with our purchase so far. This pool is plenty big for our purposes and was well within our budget. It took more than 60 minutes to set it up but it wasn't terrible. There were four of us working. We are fortunate to have a flat concrete slab in the back yard that was just large enough for this pool so I can't comment on leveling dirt, etc. The concrete is pitted though so we bought an extra pad to put under it to make it a bit softer against any potential sharp edges. The sand filter is nice. We've used traditional filters in the past on a much smaller pool and this seems like it will be easier to maintain in the long run." —Mad Cassandra
Get it from Amazon for $858.91+ (available in seven sizes and with or without a sand filter pump).
22. And a robotic pool vacuum to help you keep your favorite summer hangout spot (your new pool, duh) nice 'n' clean without much effort at all. Instead, focus your energy on more important things like applying sunscreen and acquiring an iced bev.
Promising review: "Where do I start! I previously purchased a few hundred dollar pool robot that was cordless but it kept getting stuck on the liner on the bottom. I live in Florida and we just had two "back to back" thunderstorms roll through so all of my neighbors leaves ended up in my pool. In two hours you can see the entire bottom of the pool is sparkling clean. I thought the price was high but when I looked at what this robot did I immediately changed my tune. The robot climbs the wall and scrubs as they go. This robot does its job and then some, from the larger leaves to the fine sand and dirt that was collected in the filter. Don't think about it just buy it!" —Jackie
Get it from Amazon for $649.
23. A six-person tent so you can feel like you're camping without leaving home. Bonus points if you and your bestie stick your head out of it and take a pic recreating the iconic scene from The Parent Trap.
Promising review: "I love Coleman products!!! It's like affordability and quality had a child, and named it Coleman. Sure, there may be better/fancier tents, but this second home of mine has gone through the desert heat (Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, Zion), Snow (June Lake, California), perfect weather (Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes), rain, and it has held up beautifully since 2016. I bought the 6-person tent, and it held true. I love this tent, and I will keep using it until it is no longer usable, a lot of awesome memories with this tent." —Nunya B.
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (also available in three smaller sizes and three colors).
24. An outdoor heater that'll extend the life of your outdoor space (or screened-in patio!) — crank it up on chilly summer nights and keep the party going!
Promising review: "Finally I can use my deck when it's normally just a little chilly. Great product and easy to set up. I found it easy and quick to install with only four screws. Having the remote is key and I was hoping it had a timer, which it does. The last thing you would want to do is leave this heater running overnight because you or a guest forgot to turn it off. The remote allows you to set the timer from 1–8 hours quickly." —Jim McGimsey
Get it from Amazon for $107.70.
25. A very convenient portable beer table to ensure your drinks will always be just at an arm's reach — all you'll have to do is stake it into the ground! You can move it around your yard as needed and it folds up for easy storage.
Woodland Steelworks is a small business based in Woodstock, Georgia that hand-selects the pieces of wood they use to make quality furniture and decor.
Promising review: "Love it!!! We needed a portable table for our adult beverages while sitting by the fire pit or when playing cornhole and we found it!!! This beer table even has a bottle opener attached to the side! Well crafted and totally exceeded our expectations. Shipped quickly and packaged well." —dawn ricci
Get it from Woodland Steelworks on Etsy for $61.20+ (available in three finishes with six engraving options to choose from).
26. A sand-free blanket designed so that sand (or dirt) rolls right off it — because is there anything worse than finding debris in every crevice of your car after lounging at the beach all day? It can fit four adults on it and and folds up nice 'n' small, so you can carry it around with ease.
Promising review: "I walk to the beach and the park with my baby all the time and was sick of my butt getting wet when we sat on the grass and the baby getting all sandy when sitting on towels. I decided to search Amazon for some kind of beach blanket. This blanket wasn’t really what I was looking for, but it did not disappoint! First of all it’s HUGE. I still haven’t used it open all the way yet. It’s compact and easy to carry, I love that there are pockets to weigh it down with sand, that sand rolls right off and that I can just stuff it right back in the little bag without having to fold it strategically when I’m done. I can take the baby to the beach and lay her on her tummy without worrying about sand getting on her hands and face. Great product!!" —Adriana
Get it from Amazon for $23.39+ (available in three colors).
27. A low-profile chair to ensure you'll be so comfortable the next time you plop down at the beach — it has a a cup holder to hold your emotional support water bottle (or whatever other beverage you might be sippin' that day) and a pouch on the back to protect your towel from getting dirty.
Promising review: "These are our new favorite folding chairs. We’ve used them at the beach, at the park, and in the backyard. My young children even used it to watch a movie in the living room (it allowed them to stretch their legs comfortably and recline). They are relatively light and easy to unfold. Folding it back is difficult the first time but once you get the technique, it's easy. The back pocket is where we usually store the bag and is still big enough to fit towels, phones, or tablets. The feet sink a little bit in the sand, but so does any chair. It is just more noticeable because the seat is close to the ground like a beach chair should be. I also love that it has cup holders that can rotate in and be hidden if you don’t need it. All in all, its an excellent and well-made beach chair." —K Fernandez
Get it from Amazon for $42.99.
28. Or a pair of lounger chairs for anyone who wants to really feel one with the sand — a must-have if you prefer to lay out but still would enjoy some back support so you can happily read your book without straining your neck.
Promising review: "These were perfect. They were exactly what I was looking for now that summer is here. They're compact, easy to carry, lightweight — perfect for movies under the stars, music in the park, and beach days." —Sherry Ramsundar
Get them from Amazon for $78.99+ (available in three colors).
29. A utility wagon capable of holding everything a parent may need when heading out for the day with their kiddos in tow (which is A LOT of stuff, TBH). The wheels can handle most terrains, including sand and dirt, and it folds up flat to easily fit in the trunk of your car.
Promising review: "This wagon is a must have!!!! I love how compact it is when folded up (it also comes with a nice carrying back making it easy to move around!), this feature is important to me as trunk space is limited when packing the family up for a day trip to the beach or park. We found this wagon to be very easy to set up. Simply pull out of the bag and unclip and fold out! Simple as that, it's now ready to use!!! I found the cargo area to be large enough to carry all of our items easily, it holds a lot and a good amount of weight, too. The wheels are great quality, easy to pull on pavement, grass even a dirt path. The front wheels swivel making it easy to maneuver. Overall, we are very impressed with the make, quality, and durability of this wagon. We highly recommend it and would purchase it again!" —Jess & Craig
Get it from Amazon for $114.15.
30. An insulated picnic basket that'll keep you fresh fruit, well, fresh! It can hold up to 65 pounds (wowwwwza), so fill it to the brim with all kinds of goodies and enjoy snacking the day away.
Promising review: "This product is a must-have! I absolutely love it. It holds so much food/drinks and keeps everything cold with a few ice packs. I love that it’s collapsible for easy storage. My husband loves it too. It’s perfect for the ball field, a lake day, park picnic, or a day on the farm chasing cattle. One of my favorite Amazon purchases!" —Baylee Akins
Get it from Amazon for $39.90 (available in eight colors and patterns).
31. A portable lock box designed to be secured around two beach chairs, so you can stow your wallet/phone/keys away safely and enjoy a long swim without constantly having to poke your head up to check that your items are still there.
You can also use this in your room to keep valuables protected.
Promising review: "I bought this to take on a vacation to the Virgin Islands because my husband is super paranoid about leaving valuables unattended on the beach. At first, he scoffed that this little plastic thing wasn’t going to stop a thief, and I had wasted my money. Then he admitted that the plastic was pretty sturdy, and it was cool that we could secure the cable to our beach chairs, a fence, or a tree (most petty thieves don’t carry around cable cutters). Next thing I know, he’s storing his wallet, phone, and room keys in it along with mine. He laced the cable through other things he didn’t want stolen, like the bags containing our snorkel gear. Neighboring beachgoers asked about it and where they could get one, and he was quick to demonstrate its features. And when we got home, I overheard him showing it to his friends, with as much approval as he could muster. Hate to say I told you so...OK, no I don’t." —Patsy
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in five colors).
32. Black Girl sunscreen you won't know how you've ever managed to live without — it goes on completely sheer and won't leave you with that irritating residue that seemingly NEVER blends in. It's also infused with jojoba and avocado to hydrate your skin while also protecting it from harmful rays.
Black Girl sunscreen is a small business!
Promising review: "I used to dread wearing sunscreen because of that horrible ashy cast it gave my brown skin. Now? I actually look forward to putting this stuff on. I love how moisturizing it is and that it is completely sheer. What it is advertised to do it actually does. I layer this on top of my moisturizer. You do need to work it in a little bit but it absorbs into the skin nicely. To all my brown/Black ladies/fellas, what are you waiting for? Buy it!" —MD
Get it from Target for $15.99.
33. Or Sun Bum Hypoallergenic, Paraben-free, Gluten-Free Sunscreen — available in an array of SPFs, so you'll rest easy knowing your skin is protected and hydrated at all times.
I'm very fair-skinned and typically burn with ease. I've tried many (many!) sunscreens and Sun Bum has become my go-to. It's affordable but truly works, keeps my skin protected, and smells INCREDIBLE. I also love their tinted face lotion and would 100% use it year-round.
Promising review: "Great sunscreen. The proof isn't so high that you won't get some sun and it's got good moisturizing lotion inside of it to keep skin hydrated. Also some of the better smelling sunscreen that I've used. The 3-oz. tube size is great for traveling with carry-on bags." —Jordan
Get it from Amazon for $11.49+ (available in two sizes and SPF 15–70).
34. A universal phone shade that'll protect your face from the sun (and make it less likely to burn), but also blocks the light so you can continue to endlessly scroll TikTok and giggle to yourself over the latest dance trends.
Shadey Attachments is a UK-based small business that came up with this idea after seeing people struggle to view their phone while lounging in the sun. The shades attaches to most mobile devices by suction and fans out to protect your face from UV rays.
Promising review: "I ordered this last-minute for Christmas holiday, and 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 (also better for the wrinkles). It's literally the best thing ever for the sun." —Hayley Place
Get it from Shadey Attachments on Etsy for $16.98 (available in six colors).
35. A folding table you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when you pop it open and discover you can enjoy your lunch without a side of sand. Also a must-have if your beach chair doesn't have a built-in cup holder and you'd prefer your favorite tumbler to *not* be covered in sand.
Promising review: "I've now purchased two of these tables (both in large), and they are simply wonderful! They are light, compact, and easy to transport. Most importantly, they are sturdy: we've had one of ours for over four years, and it is still going strong — well worth the higher price in comparison to other tables. We used them at the beach to keep phones, food, speakers, etc. up out of the sand, and they are the envy of the beach! We also use them when we are camping or just sitting around a campfire. The table itself has an accordion-style top with two strong elastic straps at each end to hold it in place when it is folded. It easily unfolds by sliding the straps off the ends and letting gravity do the rest. The base spreads apart like a scissor-jack, with two top pieces that snap into a groove to keep the entire base rigid. Finally, the top snaps into two grooves on each side of the top and you are done — 60 seconds or less after you get used to doing it." —Eclectic Mom
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
36. A chaise lounge chair worth the splurge because it's designed to make it comfortable to lie on your stomach — place your book under the open hole, crack it up, and devour it in one sitting. You'll be so comfortable you won't even notice when hours have passed.
Plus, when you flip back over, there's a pillow that covers the hole to keep your head comfortable.
Promising review: "Perfect for the beach. I absolutely love it. It’s easy to carry and unfold. One of the best things I have bought for the beach. I would definitely recommend to anyone. And super cool to have the hole to put your head to lay on your stomach. I love it!!!" —Love hot reads
Get it from Amazon for $62.71 (available in six colors).
37. An inflatable lounge pool even adults can enjoy, so you can pretend you're on vacation in the Hamptons instead of your apartment's tiny patio.
It's also got a bench and cup holders!
Promising review: "I have had this pool for about two weeks now and I LOVE IT!!! Was simple to set up, I got a little electric pump and it took about 10 minutes to inflate, then about half an hour to fill with water. Pay attention to making sure you set it up on level ground or it will be lopsided. It is probably good for two adults, maybe one adult and a couple of kids. The built-in seat and headrest are really quite comfy and relaxing. I will definitely buy this same pool again if it springs a leak and can't be fixed, if I could give it a 10 stars I would. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!" —kathryn j.
Get it from Amazon for $45.39.
38. A cooling towel you soak in cold water and place around your neck to keep you feeling refreshed even if you've been running around the beach or park in the hot summer heat for hours. Reviewers also say you can use it to cool down your dog, as well!
Promising review: "This towel gets very cool and stays very cool. Instant relief. I love that it does not drip on your clothing when you are wearing it. It would be perfect if you are a spectator at a concert or sporting event, visiting a theme park (think standing in long lines), at the beach, in a stroller for a baby to sit on if its super hot out. I've also worn it getting back in to a hot car, and it makes the ride bearable while the air conditioning kicks in. I can even see using this on someone that has a fever because it stays cool much longer than a washcloth or other fabric cooling towels." —Michelle Candocia
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
39. BruMate insulated can cooler, featuring a double-walled stainless-steel layer that will keep your drink *~cooler than cool~* so you can enjoy your favorite summer bevvy while soaking up the sun.
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!
