A birthday card I am fairy-ly sure will end up being framed and saved by your BFF forever. Talk about whimsy! The ballet shoes, party hat, fairy wings...it's all a masterpiece made even better by the harness hanging the lil' feral fairy high in the sky. BRB, buying this for my own birthday.
A Lego flower bouquet featuring a ton of different blooms for creative folks who love covering their home in handmade masterpieces.

A heart-shape baking scale so that the home baker in your life knows how much you love them every time they get their scale out to measure how many grams of cake flower they need. And, in turn, they might invite you to come over and snack on the black and white cookies they end up making. Which is fine, that's totally fine!

Or a Touchland body and hair fragrance that comes in a handy travel bottle so you can take your new signature scent with you on all your summer adventures.

A 3-in-1 Lego set — it has everything you need to build three eye-catching, summer-ready critters. The 288-piece set can be rearranged to make a flamingo, axolotl, or cockatoo, which can be moved into different poses. Costing less than $25, it's a pretty solid deal compared to most Lego kits. A solar-powered frog figurine with a lantern that lights up when the sun sets. Guests will love having a lil' friend welcome them with a cozy glow each night, especially now that the days are starting to get a little shorter again. :( A giant pretzel for anyone looking for something more interesting than a pool noodle to sit on while lounging in the water. Hopefully, the other swimmers won't be too salty when you show them up! A rechargeable 3-in-1 hand fan that not only cools you down but also offers a flashlight and power bank. Consider this multitasker your first line of defense against the endless cruelties the summer sun hurls at you.

The built-in cooling gel keeps drinks so cold, you'll be happy for the insulating band to protect your hand. A set of special stickers that tell you when it's time to reapply sunscreen. Cover it (and your skin, of course) with sunscreen, and the sticker will turn clear. When it turns purple, you know it's time for another generous coating of sun protection. Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Body Butter made with shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado oil to hydrate after overdoing it in the sun.

It's made with water-repellent fabric, so feel free to sit in the splash zone at the aquarium. A special can opener that takes the entire top off to create a cup-like shape. Think of the next-level hosting you can do with this! Ice cream floats in Coke cans, cute cocktails, drinks with ice, etc. A "beach blouse" for anyone looking for a versatile cover-up that hides your delicate shoulders from the sun. It's lightweight and so effortlessly chic, you could easily wear it off the sand as well! An Aerflo System that lets you carbonate water *ON THE GO!* That means you can take a fizzy drink with you, and when you run out, you can refill at a water fountain and fizz it up for round two. Each refillable capsule makes four bottles' worth, so you can stay hydrated in this heat. A hair-lightening spray to brighten up hair by TWO shades or more! Spritz a little of this citrus and chamomile spray onto damp hair, then activate it with heat-styling tools. I recommend blow-drying and hitting it with a curling iron or straightener for the best results. Over 7,000 5-star raters love it because it's less harsh than bleach and even works on dark hair. A bottle of Coppertone shimmering sunscreen offering just a subtle sprinkle of glitter, meaning people might briefly mistake you for a vampire.

It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, smells coconut-y, and leaves you with a radiant glow that will make even the sun jealous. Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix in a variety of exciting, summer-ready flavors ranging from watermelon to pina colada. Besides being delicious, the electrolyte powder is formulated to help hydrate faster than plain water. It also just tastes good so you might be more likely to drink more in general. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a green-tinted formula that combats redness through the power of color theory. It doesn't stop there — it also works to even complexion, hydrate with vitamin E, and set the perfect stage for you to apply your makeup on. Your pink-cheeked friends will wonder how you're breezily surviving 95+-degree weather. Or an ultra-affordable E.l.f. color corrector that comes in a ton of shades to help counteract different types of discoloration, like redness and dark spots. Mix and match to create the perfect foundation for the rest of your compliment-magnet makeup routine. A set of limited edition Band-Aids with cute, summery floral designs because who said a papercut can't be a fashion statement? Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream for curls so bouncy you'll be jumping for joy (and to show them off). The argan oil-boosted formula moisturizes and tames frizz (nice try, summer humidity!) while adding a level of volume and shine you'd normally expect from a much higher price point. Whether you tell people how you achieved this level of hair perfection is up to you. A candle boasting a summery scent reminiscent of cucumber, cut grass — and tennis balls! Your guests are gonna come in and be like, "why does your home smell like tennis?!" A L'Oreal glow-enhancing lotion that'll have you feeling like the Baby Sun from Teletubbies. Mix this glycerin-infused illuminator with your favorite moisturizer or foundation, wear it as a makeup base, or use it as a highlighter for that coveted lit-from-within look. If you aren't sick of compliments yet, you're about to be! A UPF 50 beach tent to create a lil' den-like area for the sun-fearing beachgoers among us. It has room for up to 10 people (depending on what size you get), folds up nicely for easy traveling, and promises not to easily blow away in the wind like some umbrellas I know. 😒 A coconut lip scrub that uses jojoba and avocado oil to help soften lips and leave them smelling like a tropical getaway. Name a scent more summery than coconut. I'll wait! A pack of fruit-shaped ice packs, which may look like fidget toys, but are actually perfect for keeping food cold, numbing bumps and scrapes, soothing toothaches, etc. Prepare to have parents calling you when their kids tell them about your kid's amazing packed lunch sitch. Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub that gently exfoliates, leaving skin feeling fresh, smooth, and smelling delicious. If you're trying to decide what scent to try first, may I suggest the summer-ready Desert Haze? Reviewers love this smoky, floral "loud" scent (jasmine, raspberry, musk, etc.) so much that it sold out repeatedly. Once you try it, you'll forget all about the more expensive brands.
