1. A mini sprinkler pool that'll be easy to set up in the yard so the kids — or dogs, per the reviews — will get plenty of water time at the house this summer. Plus, it's got cartoon letters and animals at the bottom of it so kids can get a little learning done between splashes.
2. A cooling elevated pet bed designed to let air in so your fur baby can ~chill~ with you all summer with zero probs. (Warning: Your pet may decide that this is actually factually a trampoline and treat it as such. Is your Instagram even ready for that level of adorable fun?)
3. Ultra-soft deep pocket fitted sheets from Bare Home for regulating your temperature so you'll never be too hot on summer nights. Also no more corners popping off the mattress 🥳!
4. A Radiate portable campfire (yes, from Shark Tank!) for when you need a quick warm-up at the beach, in your yard, or when you're out camping. And all it'll take is a single match!
5. Plant-based bug repellent that smells so good, you may think it won't actually do its ~real~ job of blocking the bugs — but per the reviews? This stuff will be equal parts effective and nose-friendly.
6. A watermelon ball you'll be surprised to see move through the water nearly as easily as it goes through air. It's not magic. The ball's designed to be easy to throw underwater so game time in the pool is even more fun.
7. Yankee Candles that come in so many great summer-appropriate scents that you prob won't be able to just snag one. Want your home to forever smell like a romantic beach getaway ("Pink Sands") or "Flowers In The Sun" (apple blossoms and citrus)? Your ~wick~ is my command!
8. Waterproof Birkenstock slides that'll fulfill those Instagram-worthy street style goals this season — minus the sweaty foot situation that would come from socks and sneakers.
9. An anti-frizz microfiber towel that'll help dry your hair after a good wash. It'll be the perfect, healthy substitution for anyone who hates sitting under hooded dryer heat in the summer. It's also less abrasive than traditional towels to minimize breakage.
10. A bodycon dress made jussst for those of us who'll always appreciate a super comfortable, one-and-done piece to wear on a warm day.
11. A rechargeable handheld fan that may be small but will deliver a mighty wind, according to reviews. It has three speed settings and folds up by the handle to store it easier or prop it up when you don't want to hold it.
12. A 4-in-1 pool float for when you get to steal away to the water for some R&R. It'll convert into a drifter, hammock, exercise saddle, and chair.
13. Urban Decay setting spray for makeup wearers who tend to get oilier in the warmer months. Per the reviews, your makeup will NOT do the slip 'n' slide if you set it with this spray.
14. High-waisted workout shorts to help you achieve your fitness (or lounging 🙋🏿♀️😋!) goals in something stretchy and comfortable this summer ~or~ to wear underneath dresses if you hate slips. They've got the moisture-wicking fabric and have a pocket for safely storing your phone.
15. Ice pop molds to make all the cold, sweet treats your taste buds can handle.
16. Waterproof workout socks for anyone who'll spend a lot of time being active in- or outdoors. Reviewers raved about how good these shoes will be for A TON OF THINGS including yoga, pool time, grocery store runs, gardening, working in hospitals and classrooms, hiking, walking on the beach, chilling around the house, etc.
17. A stainless-steel insulated can cooler since you'll be popping more cold ones open now that it's so hot out. It'll keep your canned beers, spritzers, wine fresh like they were just served — with no sweating!
18. A facial ice roller to put to your skin when you need an immediate cool-down sesh. It's also designed to address puffiness, fine lines, migraines, and other minor pains.
19. A facial cooling spray so you can treat yourself to a refreshing spritz of thermal spring water when you start to overheat.
20. A Ninja air fryer for the dog days when you really don't feel like standing in front of a hot stove but still want something yummy and home-cooked.
21. AND! A rapid egg cooker so you can continue your no-hot-stove summer and make a week's worth of eggs in mere minutes.
22. Lightweight joggers – with pockets, baby! — that'll be a cool, comfy pick for kicking your feet up while at home or running errands. They're also mostly made of cotton so they'll be breathable in the high temps. No weird leg sweat.
23. A classic Hanes tee to easily mix and match with other summer wardrobe pieces. Its 100% cotton material will also make sure you stay as airy as possible.
24. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes for anyone with goals for becoming the best plant parent they can be this summer. Just pop these sticks into the soil of your hungry plants and watch them — and your green thumb — flourish!
25. Velvet hair scrunchies because ponytails and high buns will def help prevent your hair from causing a sweaty neck.
26. A time-marked water bottle so you can hold yourself to staying hydrated throughout the day.
27. Fenty Beauty foundation for those who turn to a long-lasting matte formula when it gets hot out. It's designed specifically for oily skin and will give you a medium-to-full coverage matte finish. Bye, unwanted shine!
28. Sunglasses that'll have you looking for every possible reason to head outside to show these babies off. These have polarized lenses so they'll reduce the glare reflected off of roads, bodies of water, snow, and other horizontal surfaces.
29. A cooling towel to toss over your neck when you have to be out and about on the hottest days. Whether you're working out, running errands, washing your car, or whatever else — this towel will help cool you off.
30. A magnetic mesh cover so you can keeeep the door ooooopen (please hear that in Bruno Mars' voice🤣) — without worrying about gnats, flies, or bloodthirsty mosquitoes.
31. A portable outdoor rocking chair so you'll get as much sunlight and fresh air as you need — with the comforts of a cupholder, a sturdy frame, and a steady rock.
