This JBL PartyBox Club 120 Speaker Is Cheaper Than Last Prime Day, No Need to Wait for Upcoming Sales
We can all agree that Summer is here, right? Sure, it might not be the kind of Summer we're all excited about, but the season of long days, BBQs, and big old get-togethers is upon us. It's just nice to get outdoors and spend time with friends and family, and one key part of all of these things is music. That's where this JBL PartyBox Club 120 portable party speaker comes in, and it's currently $100 off on Amazon. This thing is an excellent way to boost the vibes at any party, no matter where you are or who you're with. Music is the way to set basically any mood, and this speaker is one of the easiest ways to do that indoors, outdoors, or if you're in a secret third space. See at Amazon Get That Music Pumping The most obvious thing to note here is the sound itself. The speaker packs in 5.25-inch woofers and 2.25-inch tweeters to allow it to output excellent sound with a decent range and a good mix of highs and lows. You'll be able to pump the bass as needed, but also enjoy more chilled-out music, if that's what you're after. It helps better the general atmosphere with a visual display too, and can manage a few different lighting effects, all of which can sync to the music it's playing, which helps really cement the immersion. It's portable too, which is great because it means you can carry it around using the foldaway handle, and then just plonk it down wherever you feel like. The battery life is pretty spectacular as well, as it can last up to 12 hours on a single charge, and if you're in a rush, a 10-minute fast charge can still get you an extra 80 minutes of playback. That's great for those who often forget to prepare for things ahead of time. It's splash proof too, with an IPX4 rating, which means that a little bit of rain, a little bit of tide, or a little bit of pool party won't ruin your fun. The cherry on top is that it has dual mic and guitar inputs, which means that if you or your friends are really talented, or in a state where you're feeling like you are, you can hook into this thing and sing or play along. The speaker can't make you sound better, but you'll probably have fun with it all, so who cares? Plus, with it being $100 off, and only $300 as a result, it's a great investment for your good times.

The Best Last-Minute Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is this Sunday, June 15, which means that this is the week to either put the finishing touches on your 30th 'coupon book for free hugs,' or make this the year that you actually order a smokeless fire pit on time to help his s'mores fantasies come to life. Dads are surprising creatures. I can comfortably call my own a man of habit, which certainly works in my favor when I'm trying to buy him a present; he likes listening to the blues, chopping firewood, and hammering out chicken schnitzel, in that order. Every once in a while, however, he will put down the meat tenderizer and say something like, 'I sure would love to order bees for the yard' that reminds me that people can always surprise us (and those people can take Cornell's virtual beekeeping classes). If your food-loving dad or dad-like figure is anything like mine, he probably loves kits, gadgets, accessories, and tools that improve accuracy, comfort, and general flair. In layman's terms: Send him a pastrami sandwich kit from Langer's Deli, and a UV50+-proof hat to rock while barbecuing this summer. Every dad is different, but it feels fair to say that so many could benefit from a thick kneeling pad for tending to their garden, or owning a kaleidoscopic margarita machine — by none other than Jimmy Buffet's (pour one out) Margaritaville brand — to show off with their buds. Don't freak out if you have procrastinated on your Father's Day shopping until now (you probably learned procrastination from him, anyway). Instead, sip some Sleepytime Tea and check out this curation of dad-worthy, food-obsessed gifts that ship in time for the big day, or require zero shipping at all — these will get to Pops in time, if you move fast. If you hit the holy procrastinator-shopping trifecta of Amazon, Wayfair, or Goldbelly, there's still time to ship a Stanley flask, smokeless fire pit, or a flight of doughnuts that spells 'Best Dad Ever' to your pops. Amazon is hiding some surprisingly chic gifts from the likes of Field Company (think, lightweight cast-iron skillet sets); Wayfair offers 2-day shipping and is also having an outdoor sale with savings of up to 50 percent off; and Goldbelly has an entire Father's Day collection with chicken and waffles, Philly cheesesteaks, and desserts that can ship overnight. What's that? It's the eve of Papa's Day, and you haven't had time to whittle him that soup spoon? Luckily for all of us, there are so many cool digital gifts for food-loving dads that require little to no shipping whatsoever; MasterClass is offering 50 percent off memberships for Father's Day, and is brimming with all kinds of food- and drink-centric classes from Thomas Keller, Alice Waters, and so many other James Beard-nominated chefs; Uncommon Goods, aka the slingers of cast-iron garlic roasters and hot sauce tossed peanuts also offers video-based, interactive live classes or 'experiences,' all of which ship supplemental goodies, such as spices, to the recipient. Finally, when in doubt, there's beauty in getting your dad to God's country (Williams Sonoma and/or REI) with a digital gift card. All classes billed annually. All classes billed annually.

An iconic Telfar shopper in a medium puffer style that'll help you carry basically whatever you may need for the day. These bags are super sturdy, an IYKYK accessory, and come in several colors. If the name sounds a little familiar, it might be because Beyoncé wore a Telfar look on her Cowboy Carter tour at MetLife Stadium. Or simply because you've followed anything about fashion in the past decade or so! A fashion-forward Cincha travel belt that can accommodate most any carry-on as it expands to 45 inches. This way, when your summer travels have you here, there, and everywhere, you can stack your bags instead of juggling them. A pair of classic gold-dipped hoops that take ~literally~ no effort or know-how to style.

They come in delish flavors like birthday cake, ginger snap, double chocolate brownie, and cookie butter.

Also, we could all use another bucket hat! A tube of Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 that's a sunscreen and a moisturizer. This genius product was developed specifically for dark skin tones, and will leave no chalky residue on your skin after application. Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black woman-owned small business whose sunscreen is designed not to leave a white cast on melanated skin. It's ultra-sheer, water-resistant, and super nourishing. Plus, it's cruelty-free! Promising review: "I like that it doesn't have a strong sunscreen smell, which usually bothers me. Usually sunscreens make my skin look ashy and leave an odd color, but this one is great for dark skin tones. It leaves my skin glowing, feels lightweight, and doesn't cause breakouts like other face sunscreens I've used." —Sara BrodzinskiGet it from from Amazon for $9.99. A Dozen Cousins microwave beans variety pack might just become a pantry staple for you (they have for me!) once you realize how easily these microwavable mains will fit into your meal rotation. But that's just where the beans start! A 1,000-piece puzzle from Apostrophe Puzzles that'll give you and your roomies something to do with your hands while you watch all the drama go down on Love Island this season. It features a stunning take on Rosie the Riveter you'll absolutely want to frame when you've finished putting it together. A wall-mounted hat rack can take up *very* little room while helping maintain the shape of your caps. Each stores up to 20 baseball caps so you can finally get back some shelf space in your closet. (You may have seen this on Shark Tank!) A Speakeasy luxury candle so beloved by reviewers that many have made it the "signature scent" of their home. The blend of bourbon and palo alto is made all the more rich and complex by notes of cardamom, dark chocolate, and smoked incense, meant to "transport you to Harlem's clandestine nightclubs and secret lounges during the 1920s." A uniquely gorgeous watercolor art print to make a statement on your living room wall and give you something colorful to look forward to every day when you come home. Handmade linen dolls featuring a variety of hair textures and skin tones you might find yourself ordering for yourself even if you don't have a little one at home. The detailing on these beauties is truly incredible — they're better dressed than I am! A pair of merino wool crew socks from Shark Tank that'll wick away moisture, deter stinky odors with some comfy bells and whistles (meaning, 360-degree arch support, a flat toe seam, and extra heel cushioning). But the real kicker here is that these socks are made specifically for women's feet, which oftentimes have higher arches and narrower heels than men's feet. So you won't need to size down from a men's size to get the benefits of a superior sock. A customizable Buttah Skin kit to help you bring out your inner ~glow~, thanks to nurturing ingredients to help with dryness, discoloration, oiliness, and blemishes. If you're someone who needs a solid skincare routine, this is an excellent way to start a tried-and-true one!

Tara Jayne Designs is a Philadelphia-based Black woman-owned small business creating unique and functional concrete home review: "This tray is gorgeous! It is very well made and fits well in an array of decor styles. It is fairly large, so you can display/store quite a bit, and it is worth the price point. I will definitely order again!" —Kristina MitchellGet it from Tara Jayne Designs on Etsy for $30. A gorgeous ring from Adore Adorn you'll start planning all of your looks around — it comes in an array of stones and will look oh-so-fabulous alongside the baubles you already wear daily. Sugardoh's Ingrown Magic Wand made with a blend of sensitive-skin friendly blend of exfoliating and brightening acids both to help prevent the infection of ingrown hair, and to help with discoloration and hyperpigmentation caused by hair removal. A splurge-worthy iridescent cake stand from Estelle's Colored Glass you'll want to leave out on display at all times. It's not our fault if you *also* decide you need to whip up a delicious cake or muffins to plop on top of it weekly. A brass and crystal air plant mobile that'll turn your greenery into actual art. With eight shimmering prisms and space for four air plants, it's elegant, simple, and quietly show-offy in the best possible way. Hang it in a sunny window and let it do its thing.
