    26 Things That Basically Scream Summer

    Scream sing it with me — ♫ What time is it??? Summertime ♫

    1. A retro-chic bikini that over 4,000 reviewers love and that just might become your favorite suit of all time.

    2. A delightful ice cream sandwich-shaped beach blanket ready to ~chip~ in and add an extra ~sprinkle~ of joy to an outdoor day.

    3. The NYX Ultimate eyeshadow palette, which features 16 bold hues, because I personally believe that bland neutral colors should be left behind with the cold weather.

    4. Handmade beaded flamingo statement earrings that are just plain fabulous as ~flock~.

    The large earrings, with pink beaded flamingo bodies with tassel details on the bottom and green gemstone eyes

    5. An effortlessly stylish spaghetti strap sundress, which may cause uncontrollable twirling.

    6. OMG-worthy mermaid tail drink floats just begging to be ~part of your world~ this summer.

    The two drink floats in pink and blue printed with mermaid scales and with tails coming out, floating in a pool holding drinks

    7. Or a rainbow drink float that can basically work as a whole dang bar and will make any pool day more colorful.

    The float, which has a rainbow arch and a cloud base with a large basin which is filled with ice, fruit and drinks, plus five cupholders with cans in them

    8. Kan Jam, an easy-to-set-up game to bust your family's backyard boredom this season. Trust me, the competition can get HEATED.

    9. Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Soft Waves sea salt hair spray, a beachy banana-scented formula that'll make your locks look like you just got back from a fabulous surfing excursion, when really you just forced yourself out of bed on a Monday morning after snoozing your alarm six times.

    10. A truly genius corn on the cob-buttering knife that'll make enjoying the single best summer food (don't @ me) way less of a mess. Also, imperfect butter-to-corn ratio is one of my biggest BBQ pet peeves, so I'd be very glad to kiss that goodbye.

    11. An insulated Baby Yoda cooler tote, because while The Child is seasonless, the need to keep your drinks and snacks (frogs?) cool is very much a Right Now problem.

    12. A quirky-cute flip flop bottle opener here to help you enjoy sand-all your summer drinks ASAP.

    The opener, complete with a 3D flipflop strap, next to a glass and bottle top. There's also another opener next to it, show in the gift-like packaging

    13. A super affordable and soft tank top with enough structure that it works for work or play, so go ahead and pick up multiple colors and make them your summer uniform.

    14. A sheet of handmade Harry Styles stickers, featuring plenty of references to the top contender for song of the summer, "Watermelon Sugar."

    The sticker sheet, with several illustrations of Harry, including him eating watermelon, and illustrated lyrics like "Strawberry lipstick state of mind" and "just stop your crying it's a sign of the times"

    15. Distressed, edgy acid-washed denim shorts to make all your fave graphic tees 90-degree-weather-ready.

    16. A glittery unicorn beach ball, because the only thing better than the feeling of hitting a beach ball with a perfect serve? RAINBOW UNICORNS, of course.

    17. Some classic cocktail umbrellas to ensure your drinks and snacks are all made in the shade.

    18. Rainbow-soled Keds for anyone who's looking to upgrade their basic white sneakers. These babies are ready to get down to ROYGBIV-ness.

    The with lace-up sneakers with red, yellow, pink, teal, and light blue striped bottoms

    19. Glittery pineapple-shaped earrings that'll bromeli-add an extra tropical touch to any ensemble.

    20. A super summery sand mold set (say that three times fast) in a silly shark drawstring bag that's jaws-t the thing for the sandbox enthusiast in your life.

    The mesh-bottomed shark face backpack complete with fins surrounded by six molds: a shark, turtle, popsicle, sun, fish, and shell

    21. A shakeable infusion pitcher, because while I love a delicious fruit-infused beverage any time of the year, it feels particularly appropriate on a 92-degree July day.

    22. A cruelty-free and vegan pastel and glitter nail polish trio, because your typical red or neutral mani can wait till fall. Time for fun colors and sparkle!!!

    23. A giant inflatable mermaid pool volleyball set sure to ~serve~ up some fun, ~bump~ up your mood, and ~set~ you up for an awesome pool day you'll tell ~tails~ of for summers to come.

    24. A trendy beaded pineapple mini tote that all your canvas totes from summers past will look at with pure envy.

    25. A Mickey ears ice cream cone personal fan ~ear~ to cool you off and keep you smiling even on the most sauna-like days.

    The fan, which has blades on what looks like a scoop of ice cream with Mickey ears and a cherry top in a cup printed with the design of Mickey's pants

    26. And finally, the giant pool flamingo of your dreams, which doesn't actually require a Taylor Swift Fourth of July Party-level budget.
