We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A floating waterproof phone pouch that'll save your favourite device from a watery grave. Reviewers say they can still use their touchscreens through it, making it the perfect accessory for your next pool party or cottage trip.
2. A pair of vintage-style aviator sunglasses so you can finally ditch the flimsy plastic ones you bought at the beach a million years ago. Reviewers say their oversized silhouette is perfect for just about any face shape (with plenty of room for those of us with bigger noggins).
3. A travel-sized citronella candle if you're not too keen on spraying repellant. It's DEET-free and has an impressive burn time of 30 hours, so you can focus on enjoying the sunshine (instead of warding off pesky mosquitoes).
4. A portable cocktail mug so you can enjoy a cheeky one in the park. It's even got a splash-proof lid to keep spills from ruining your cute all-white outfit.
5. Or a pair of gel-filled wine glasses if you prefer a frosty beverage. Reviewers love that they've got silicone sleeves, which means they won't slip from your grasp once the condensation builds up.
6. A wilderness first aid kit that comes with all the stuff you'll need to tackle ~mini-mergencies~ while you're out and about. It's all neatly packaged in a durable tin that won't take up every inch of free space in your already overstuffed backpack.
7. A flexible bag light that'll help you find your keys (or your fave lipstick) in the dark. It won't scratch up your fave handbags and is long enough to illuminate everything from large overnight bags to crowded glove compartments.
8. A soft cotton dad hat that'll actually look cute with all your springtime 'fits. With no Velcro or snap closures, you won't have to worry about it snagging your hair while you're rocking it.
9. A tube of yogurt-infused calming gel that'll instantly soothe inflamed skin. It's intensely hydrating, too, which means you won't shed skin flakes all over your apartment once that sunburn starts healing.
10. A collapsible water bottle that'll fold down flat once you've sipped that last drop of H2O. It has a handy clip for attaching to your bag, and, best of all, can be tossed in the dishwasher, so you won't have to spend hours scrubbing all its crevices by hand.
11. Or a genius 2-in-1 water bottle that'll help you stay hydrated. The spout has a built-in mister, so you can quickly cool down sweaty skin after a rousing game of Spikeball.
12. A pair of protective sleeves that'll help keep you sunburn-free while you're enjoying the outdoors. They're lightweight and breathable (not to mention super stretchy), so you can comfortably go about your day without worrying about sun damage.
13. A wine cooler backpack so you can bring along a bottle of your fave vino. It'll keep things nice 'n' chill until you're ready to start sipping (and it's big enough to toss a few snacks in there, too).
14. A tube of solid sunscreen that'll make application a snap. It's easy to slather onto tough-to-reach areas and is completely hypoallergenic and fragrance-free (oh, and it's reef-safe to boot).
15. An oversized picnic mat that won't take up your whole house during the off-season. It has a couple handy pockets, plus attached shoulder straps, so you won't have to juggle it with the rest of your stuff.
16. An anti-chafe balm that'll prevent shoes, bras, and other clothing from rubbing against your body. It goes on smooth and dry and won't stain your clothes, so you can apply it wherever you need.
17. A light-reflecting scrunchie that'll help keep you safe during nightly activities. Reviewers love that it doesn't need constant adjusting and say it's super gentle on all hair types (even dry, damaged locks).
18. A petite windproof umbrella that'll protect you from everything Mother Nature throws your way. It's got flexible fibreglass ribs that'll bend and flex (instead of snapping) during gusty storms.
19. A tube of treatment lotion that'll help take the ~ouch~ out of insect bites, thanks to its blend of aloe vera, baking soda, and tea tree oil. The formula's super gentle (it's designed for tots!), which means it's non-stinging, even on the bites you've scratched into oblivion.
20. A tube of invisible sunscreen that'll melt right into your skin and deliver some serious SPF protection. Reviewers love that it doesn't leave behind a white cast, even on darker skin tones.
21. A bottle of anti-humidity spray that'll shield your strands from the sun's drying rays. It comes out in a fine mist that won't leave your tresses soggy or sticky (my worst nightmare) and will keep them frizz-free *and* safe from UV damage.
22. A flexible electric lighter for when it's too dang windy to spark up. It's small enough to fit in your pocket while being long enough to reach into candle jars and BBQs, too.
23. A tube of bug-repelling salve that has zero DEET or chemical additives. It won't irritate your skin and is made of a blend of organic essential oils that'll make you smell really friggin' great (while warding off pests).
24. A stick of natural deodorant that'll *actually* make you smell fresh as a daisy. It goes on silky smooth and will keep your sweet lil' pits nice and dry through the dog days of summer.
25. A bottle of 2-in-1 setting spray that'll lock in your ~lewk~, while coating your skin in a veil of UV protection. It contains hyaluronic acid, cucumber, and aloe vera that'll prevent your face from feeling dry and fried after a day outdoors.
26. An extra-large sport umbrella that'll keep the sun out of your eyes and block out wind and rain, too. It's designed to stake into the ground and even has a zippered window for when you're craving some fresh air flow.
27. A bug-zapping racket you can use to obliterate pests at your next outdoor hang. It has a teeny light on the handle to lure mosquitos, flies, and other flying irritants to their doom.
28. And lastly, a pack of hydrocolloid bandages that'll not only protect your skin from injury, but actually help it heal itself, too. Because they're waterproof, they'll stay on while you're showering, running, or just going about your day.
I'm basically not going indoors again 'til the fall:
