Some solar-powered lights that sway in the wind so you can feel like your garden has been overtaken by a tribe of fairies. 🧚🏻 A roomy, durable Simple Modern tote bag perfect for any outdoor excursion you've got lined up this summer since any mess (i.e. sand, dirt, random mystery crumbs) can simply be hosed off in mere seconds. Warning: your jaw may unhinge when you realize just how much this baby can hold. A portable air compressor you can whip out anytime that dreaded little "low tire pressure" message pops up on your dashboard — without needing to stop at a random gas station while on your summer road trip.

Plus, it boasts an impressive one-minute inflation, so you won't be stuck waiting on the side of the road for hours upon hours. A hidden fly trap that can zap all the creepy crawlies lurking in your home without ruining your perfectly curated home aesthetics. You can plug this into an outlet, and the tiny light will lure in those pesky pests by the dozen.

This console (which is fully controlled by motion play rather than a remote) is toddler-friendly and comes with five super fun starter games, with more than 20+ games in the library available if you get their Play Pass. The Nex is great at tracking, no matter how tiny the player is, and has so many fun AND educational games! A set of breathable, seamless thongs if you're the type of person who "never wears thongs" or "hates thongs." These are incredibly comfortable to wear all day, and they've even been compared to $$$ brands like Skims and Victoria's Secret. Finally, a thong you won't feel the need to dig out or readjust every five seconds or so. A mason jar cold brew maker that will save you some money in the long haul when you start cutting down on those early morning Dunkin runs. Say goodbye to the days of being late to work while stuck in a ridiculously long drive-thru line; your perfect cup can be made right at home — no heavy machinery or electricity required. A stackable oval gem ring beautiful enough to use as a pseudo wedding ring when you go traveling — because if you lose this, you won't be crying into your piña colada, as this gorgeous piece costs less than your fancy lil' cocktail. Plussss, it's also stackable with other high-quality Pavoi rings. Win-win!

With such sweltering weather, it's important to stay cool and safe. If you don't have access to a nearby lake or pool, I'd suggest staying in an air-conditioned space.
