1. 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 10 stars I would. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!" —kathryn j.
Get it from Amazon for $44.48.
2. A portable Chill-O-Matic Instant Beverage Cooler that'll make you feel like you've just inherited Elsa's ice powers — pop in any 12-ounce can and watch as it ~*magically~* cools the drink down to a perfect temp.
Chill-O-Matic is a small business that specializes in beverage accessories.

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 minutes 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 vacation, 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.
3. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker you can use to pretend you're Cinderella's Fairy Godmother to turn frozen fruit into a magically delicious dessert. Reviewers swear it has the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Yuuuum!
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in five colors).
4. Supergoop Glowscreen — it'll protect your skin (hellooooo SPF 40👋) while making your skin shimmer just like Edward freakin' Cullen in the sunlight.
I adore this sunscreen! I'm very fair skinned and prone to getting sunburnt, so I have to stay very on top of applying SPF at all times. This one isn't greasy at all, blends in immediately, and LITERALLY adds shimmery sparkles wherever its applied. I truly don't even mind putting it on — it's a welcome addition to my skincare routine.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this sunscreen. I’m always wary of 'for everyone' tinted products because they aren’t usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. The video and pics are in direct sunlight so you can see it in full effect. For reference, I have combination, 30-something-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." —Lovely91
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes).
5. And Spot My UV's SPF-detecting stickers which will give you a heads up when the sunscreen you've oh-so-meticulously put on needs to be reapplied. Just keep an eye an eye out for when it turns purple!
The waterproof patches last 12 hours or through six applications of sunscreen — whichever comes first. When purple, it's time to reapply and when clear, you're good to go!
Promising review: "I am very sensitive to UV rays and I burn very easily. Discovering these UV stickers was the best thing to ever happen to my vacations. They take the guesswork out of knowing when to reapply your sunblock, helping you stay burn free without watching the clock and doing math. These work with both lotion and spray on sunscreen. One sticker works all day long and doesn't come off while you are out having fun." —Rachel W.
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in packs of 16, 32, and 48).
6. Mosquito-repelling bracelets coated with essential oils (citronella, like your fave outdoor candles) to help you kick back in your yard and relax without having to think twice about being eaten alive by pesky bugs. (Gross!)
Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action.
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 $8.49.
7. A computer shade that'll make your summer working from home a dream come true — attach this to your laptop and "get to work" on both your actual job and your tan 😉.
Check out a TikTok of the computer shade in action.
Promising review: "Great product! Finally able to work by the pool without the computer overheating or the glare making it difficult to answer emails efficiently. A must-buy for anyone who works remotely and wants to soak up some summer vitamin D." —Jackie Wittlinger
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in two sizes).
8. A set of cooling towels to sling across your forehead or neck and help you literally chill out after a hot morning run or a day of laying out in the sun.
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).
9. An at-home slushy-making cup for anyone who wants to enjoy a frozen treat every day instead of just on 7/11. (Slurpee Day, duh.) Just think of the incredible flavor combos you can try out!
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!
Promising review: "When it got here I cleaned it and put it in the freezer. I took it out a day later and filled it with Diet Coke just to see what it does. Squeeze it a few times and it's 100% a slushy. I am shocked and thrilled. Worth the money. It has some type of ribbing inside that freezes. If you enjoy a cold beverage, get it quick." —GEORGE
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in ten colors and two-packs).
10. A time-marked water bottle that'll motivate you to drink looooots of H20 while you're sweating buckets laying out in the hot sun. You can make it a competition — you vs. you. You're gonna win every time 💪.
Cacktacki is a small business!
Promising review: "This is the second one I have bought! Absolutely love them and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great travel bottle." —Jade4vengeance
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three colors).
11. A packable floppy hat you'll have no problem throwing into your beach bag or suitcase — what's the point of going to the beach if you're not going to bring the *draaamaaa* with a fabulous oversized hat?
Promising review: "Honey, this hat was giving me everything I needed it to give! I felt Gone With The Wind fabulous in this hat for my cruise vacation. It provided the adequate shade for my face and shoulders while allowing me to shade myself from people I didn’t want to talk to! Bay-bay! It was EVERYTHING I needed it to be AND the size XL fit over my braids. So my girls with protective styles or just big hair, this is the hat for you! 🎉" —1922blue
Get it from Amazon for $24.69+ (available in sizes M–XL and in eight colors).
12. Retro heart-shaped sunnies to shade your eyes while also allowing you to channel your inner-Barbie Girl — pair 'em with a striped black and white bathing suit (you know the one) and blast Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice's version of "Barbie World" for the rest of the summer.
One of my friends actually bought a pair of these for her entire bachelorette party a few months ago. We all have very different face shapes and they were shockingly lovely on every last one of us!
Promising review: "Constantly asked if these are YSL sunglasses. You can tell they’re cheaper when handling but apparently, no one else notices when they’re on. Highly recommend, especially if you’re someone that loses or breaks your sunglasses easily" —Katie K.
Get them from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in 19 styles).
13. A retro-ish fringe umbrella that'll provide you with shade and the perfect background for your BeReal (if they ever play nice and sound out the notification when you actually look good/are doing something photo-worthy).
Beach State is a small business specializing in premium, high-quality beach umbrellas.
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).
14. A personal umbrella you can clip onto your beach chair instead of ordering an entirely new one with a built-in canopy. Pop it open, crack open your La Croix (the coconut flavor while sitting at the beach is a 10/10), and relaaaax.
Promising review: "My wife likes no sun, so this allows us to pull our beach chairs together, and I can set it up and 'boom' no sun for her. The clamp holds up in the wind and the adjustable angles that the umbrella has allows you to sort of aim the shade. Great product and it fits into a suitcase!" —Quarrelman
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
15. Menore Slippers featuring squishy bottoms you'll find *so* comfortable whether you're wearing them around the house or prancing around in the rain — they're made of a material that'll dry quickly so no need to fear surprise showers.
Promising review: "Love them! So comfortable! Really your feet will not sweat. I notoriously have sweaty feet and nothing but perfection here. I just moved so I’m walking a ton of laps in my new place. They are great! Easy to slide on. Walk the dog. No breaking in! They are better than my Crocs! 😜" —Laura Green
Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in women's sizes 2–12, men's sizes 4.5–11, and in 13 colors).
16. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo is benzene-free and will be your savior on the days you simply don't feel like (or, honestly don't have the time to) wash your hair. It's small enough that you can keep in your bag and break it out as needed.
The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair and I can go an additional day without washing it now." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.
17. A colorful 1000-piece puzzle you can spend the weekend working on when it's just too darn hot to hangout outdoors. When you've finished it, you should totally display it as decor!
Get it from our Goodful shop for $30.
18. A rose-shaped ice cube tray, because you and I both know you'd love nothing more than to unwind from sweating in the hot sun all day while watching Beauty and the Beast while sipping an on-theme beverage.
Promising review: "So easy to use and clean. I added a drop of pink food coloring to the water used to fill the molds. Perfect tea rose ice cubes!!! Perfect for cocktails with the ladies. I made ice molds with watermelon purée also. Add mint leaves and vodka, and it’s the perfect afternoon." —PrettyMommy
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
19. 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 $17.24 (available in six colors).
20. An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you'll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it in the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs), then pour the cubes directly into your drink! It's leakproof and dishwasher safe.
Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business estabished in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!) Seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors).
21. Burt's Bees After Sun Soother lotion, because summer is here and so are the sun's harsh rays! This lotion is packed with aloe and coconut oil to help your skin feel cooler after a day of outdoor adventures.
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
22. A pair of sunglasses that'll definitely help you make some friends — it has a built in bottle opener on the frame (and will also, obviously, protect your eyes from the sun). You're going to quickly become the Hero of the Day when everyone realizes the beers they brought along with with them are not, in fact, twist-offs.
Promising review: "Maaaannnnnn, I bought these for Cancun, and they’ve been used and abused here in the saltwater pool and beaches, but they are worth the money in my opinion! Yes they feel a tad bit cheap, but hey, they’ve opened so many bottled beer and sodas, and I like how they look. I’m happy with my purchase! Will be buying more to keep in my car and in my work truck." —Erik Perez
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).
23. A satin-lined backless CurlCap you can count on to protect your skin (and scalp) from the sun while also keeping your hair from sticking to the back of your next in the heat. This hat was specifically designed to work for natural hair, as it has an open back and a scrunchie-like band that will comfortably sit on your head.
CurlCap is a Black-owned small business started by Britney Sade to create hats made specifically for natural hair with an open back and scrunchie design.
Promising review: "I absolutely love my cap. One of my buddies tagged me in a post about this one specifically because I am planning a trip to Florida this summer. I have a ton of hair, and it’s hard to put it all under a traditional cap. I love this so much and even ordered another one and will probably order a few more! I absolutely love the fact that it is a Black-owned company and obviously created by someone who understands that our natural curls don’t always fit in all spaces!" —SimplyMarquisha
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 21 styles).
24. A cute cropped high-neck tank top that'll become your go-to for all of your summer activities — good thing it comes in a ton of colors so you can stock up! It's made of a super soft material you won't be able to get enough of.
I wore this in Deep Blue to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and anyone who is *in the know* will understand just how much thought goes into choosing an outfit for that occasion. I originally was going to go channel "Lavender Haze" with my sister in this top (pictured, left) that is very similar but a little more low cut (my sister wore it instead!). I ended up going with a Midnights x Folklore vibe (IYKYK) and this shirt was exactly what I needed to pair with my cardigan. The material felt almost bathing suit–like and was super stretchy (excellent for anyone who, like myself, is rather busty). I liked that I was able to wear a bralette with it and that it wasn't see through at all. Can totally see ordering this in other colors for the summer!
Promising review: 'You know that TikTok sound that goes 'If I like it, I'll just grab it in another color. If I like it, and they have another color, I'll just grab it' and so on? That was written about this top. It's so comfortable and I can confidently wear it sans-bra (I'm a 34F for reference so that is a BIG deal for me - it never happens!). Consider every other color grabbed!" —Meghan J
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 23 colors).
25. A Java Sok to keep your drink chilled, perfect for anyone who is sick and tired of drinking watered-down iced coffee. You can't help it that you fell asleep lying in the sun — and your beverage shouldn't have to pay the price!
Java Sok is a small business that sells an array of reusable neoprene cup holders designed to keep drinks colder and eliminate condensation.
Promising review: "Obsessed! Great stocking stuffers or a gift to yourself! Will be buying more. I’m someone who takes a while to drink their drinks (mom life) so it keeps my drinks from watering down! Love this product! Feels like a coooozy" —Thumbs up
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in a variety of prints and five sizes).
26. Oversized flower-shaped hair claws that'll help you salvage your mood — when it's simply too damn hot outside. How could you possibly stay grumpy when your updo looks like a spring garden?
Promising review: "These are cute colors. I bought these for my 12-year-old daughter because everybody was wearing them on TikTok. She has long hair that is medium thickness and it holds it in an updo just fine. These are sturdier plastic and not made of the typical clear fragile kind." —Mamamia28
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $13.99.
27. A cold-brew maker you'll be happy to see each morning even if you *do* prefer to get up early — because who wouldn't want to start their day with coffee that's already ready to drink?
Promising review: "We use this all the time in my house. I generally prefer glass to plastic in my kitchen, but the body of it seems to have held up well despite extensive and extended use. I certainly recommend it if you're looking tired of making cold brew at home with the Mason jar method but still don't want to spill the cash for a fancier-than-necessary alternative." —Matthew Baird
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in one or two quarts and three colors).
Check our full review of the Takeya 10310 Patented Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker here.
28. Tansynella Organic Bugscreen — it's made with organic sunflower oil and tansy (an insect-repelling herb). Slather it all over your body when you're showering and enjoy the benefits throughout the rest of your day. (That means less bug bites, more moisturized skin!)
Get it from our Goodful shop for $20.
29. A "Tanned + Tipsy" candle inspired by the scent of mint mojitos and tropical fun in the sun. Light this bad boy up when the sun is shining and, unfortunately, you're spending your summer in your own yard instead of Aruba or Hawaii.
When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand, I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their "OMG You're Engaged" candle in a boutique near my NYC apartment a few years ago. I've been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is woman-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry.
Anyways, this candle is part of their summer collection and it's the *perfect* vibe for hanging out in your backyard, music blasting, getting your tan on.
Here are the scent notes as shown on Evil Queen's website:
Top: Lime, Mint
Middle: Jasmine, Pineapple
Base: Rum
Get it from Evil Queen for $22.
30. A HyperChiller to cool your favorite drink in less than a minute. A must-have if you're like me and prefer to drink iced coffee all year. Yes, that includes when it's 25 degrees out in the middle of January.
I snagged this for myself last Prime Day and I'm never looking back! I basically only drink iced coffee (yes, even in the winter) and have forever been plagued by how long it typically takes for my coffee to cool to a temperature that won't melt ice (thus watering down my beverage). Luckily for me (and all iced coffee drinkers) the HyperChiller actually gets the job done. It's very simple to use: you fill the two separate chambers inside with water then pop it into the freezer. When you're ready to make your coffee you can either brew it directly into the lid of the HyperChiller or pour it in yourself. Let it sit for a minute or so, then pour it into your glass. No more attempting to chill my too-hot coffee in the fridge! It really cools it super quickly — I can happily add as much ice to my drink as I'd like without ruining the taste!
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors)
31. A silly windshield shade that'll keep your car cool while making it look like all four of the Golden Girls are cruising around — want to place bets that they're headed to pick up a cheesecake???
32. Twister Splash — because why bother settling for the original when you can take it to the next level an add *water* into the mix? Kiddos will be so happy to have this on-hand when the next heat wave rolls around.
The game comes with an inflatable splash mat, hose connector, waterproof spinner, and gameplay instructions.
Promising review: "Fun for all ages. Such a fun twist on an already loved game! This kept my 4- and 7-year-olds' attention for a while! Each spot you put your hand on sprays water, whoever stays up the longest wins! Even the adults had to try it out. I was a little nervous with the quality of the plastic, but it withheld adults and kids moving all around it without any holes." —Deborah Gaffney
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (also available in a larger size).
33. A crinkle cut-out one-piece in a fun color that'll make you even more excited to get out and enjoy the sunshine by the pool with your besties. All that'll be left to determine is whose bringing the snacks and iced coffee for everyone 🥤.
Promising review: "This is my first one-piece suit and I absolutely love it. It's a one piece, but very cute and I feel great. I don't normally like one pieces on my body, but this one feels great." —Anonymous
Get it from Aerie for $41.96 (originally $59.95; available in women's sizes 2XS–2XL and two colors).
34. An easy-to-use ice cream scoop with a curved shape only a genius could've designed that'll smoothly cut through ice cream and create a picture-perfect scoop time and time again.
Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it has some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe. I am so glad TikTok made me buy this!" —MamaKickAsh
Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 13 colors and a two-pack).
35. A classic bocce ball set like the one your grandparents had growing up that'll bring back fond memories and help you create new ones.
Promising review: "New game for the family! I was not familiar with bocce, but saw this pop up on Amazon and thought it looked like fun to try. Came in a nice little case, and I found as long as I left the cardboard in the case it kept it sturdy. Balls are nice-looking, and have held up after many games. This game reminds me a lot of miniature bowling. Fun family game!" —D.D.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available with resin balls or soft rubber ones).
36. Waterproof playing cards, so you can get a fierce game of poker going without fear of the moment someone inevitably spills their drink all over the table.
Promising review: "These playing cards are a HIT. I take them out with me for social events and when visiting people, even to the beach. We just play and play. So you can get them wet and they won't soggy up and tear — they just become a little hard to shuffle. It is so cool that they look like you can see right straight through them but you can't." —Tabitha
Get them from Amazon for $6.96.
37. A 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! Love this product and definitely recommend!" —Brooke Stull
Get it from Amazon for $18.73 (available in 31 colors).
38. 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 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 $24.99+ (available in three colors).
39. A JBL portable speaker that's both waterproof *and* dust-proof (incredible) and will help you *pump up the jams* during your next park or beach hangout sesh with your pals — it easily clips onto a chair, so no worries about having to physically carry it around.
Promising review: "This is an amazing speaker for traveling or going to the beach. It's portable, and you can hang it so it doesn't get dirty with sand or dust around you. It is very useful in hiking because it is light, which makes it easy to carry as you can see in the picture. The battery life is really good. I've used it 3 times and still doesn't need to charge, so it's about 10 hours of music. I really liked the sound quality and my friends say that they liked it, too." —Tifanny Angulo
Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (available in six colors).
40. A waterproof Kindle for any lit lover whose main goal during a vacation is to plow through a *ton* of books on their TBR stack — this will ensure you can bring as many as you'd like without taking up precious space in your luggage or carry-on bag. Not to mention you can safely read it by the pool or at the beach.
I have a Kindle and surprisingly have become a big fan of it — especially when traveling. While I absolutely prefer a hardcover book, it's nearly impossible to put more than two (which is a stretch in itself) in my suitcase along with my clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I read most of my books these days through the Libby app (all you need is a library card for access) which can be used via your phone or Kindle. No need to spend tons of money on novels when I simply am not someone who rereads them! I like that I can use this one near water without fear of it getting destroyed (yikes).
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in 8GB and 32GB and in four colors).
41. Solar powered light-up flowers to make your boring old patio feel like Alice's Wonderland once night falls. Your friends won't be able to resist taking aesthetic Insta pics of them — imagine how magical they'll look with a cool filter added to them???
Promising review: "I’ll be purchasing more of these lights! They are unique and very pretty. Bright white color! Reminds me of fireflies floating around!"—Dooleydoes
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.98.

43. A cooling pillow — perfect for anyone who runs hot (especially in the summer months!). It's filled with a super squishy foam that'll cradle your head and help you *~keep your cool*~ even during the hottest nights.
I'm personally always hot even with my air conditioning on full blast, so I was thrilled to put this cooling pillow to the test. Right out of the box it felt cool to the touch. It's very plush and squishy (my son really enjoyed jumping on it haha). It seems to mold to my head — it's extremely comfortably. Most importantly it somehow STAYS that cold at all times. It really is fabulous!
Get it from Amazon for $134+ or Casper for $149 (available in two sizes).
44. And OUAI Scalp & Body Scrub made with sugar and coconut oil to help bring your skin and scalp back to life — not to mention it smells absolutely incredible.
I'm a biggggg fan of the OUAI brand so it was no surprise to me when I fell in love with this scrub. A little goes a long way, which is fantastic because this comes with a decent amount of product. Mine has literally lasted me longer than a year at this point. Anyways, I've noticed such a difference in my skin after slathering this on in the shower. I use it to exfoliate my legs after shaving and without fail it leaves them feeling silkier and smoother than ever.
Promising review: "I was looking to replace my expensive scalp scrub with a comparable product at a better value and this solved the problem in terms of quality and value. Smells divine and leaves my hair soft and silky at the same time." —Mig7
Get it from Amazon for $40 (available in two scents).
