A Ninja Slushi maker so you can ~slushify~ any drink you could possibly want. Ever wondered what your lemonade would taste like as a slushee? Well, now you can find out! Or whip up some delicious frozen margs. Orrr stick to the classics and make an at-home Coke Icee. The world is your oyster (...or slurpee?).
Promising review: "The Ninja Slushi is an absolute gem for anyone who loves frozen drinks! It's incredibly easy to use—just pour in your favorite soda, juice, or cocktail mix, pick a preset, and in under an hour, you've got a perfectly slushy treat. I made a cherry cola slush that tasted just like a 7-Eleven Slurpee, and the texture was spot-on. The machine is quiet, easy to clean with its rinse cycle and dishwasher-safe parts, and the 88-oz capacity is great for sharing. It's a bit bulky, but the fun and delicious drinks make it worth the counter space. Highly recommend for summer parties or daily treats." —RajGet it from Amazon for $349.99.
A reusable, family-friendly sand eraser filled with a talc-free and reef-friendly powder that'll help remove the sand that sticks to every inch of your little one (and you). Keep this on hand for the beach or even for after an afternoon of playing in the sandbox at your local park.
An inflatable beach pillow so you can upgrade your perfect afternoon nap by the ocean with a comfortable place to rest your head instead of making a makeshift pillow out of a pile of sand. They're designed to stay put even when it's windy *and* there's a spot for you to put a cooling pack when you wanna catch some ZZZs without pouring sweat.

A set of spicy margarita instant cocktail tea bags so you can have your fave cocktail without needing to buy a whole bar's worth of ingredients to make it. This couldn't be easier — just add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and drop in the teabag. One minute later, BOOM, your delicious drink is ready.
A waterproof disposable camera, since apparently digital cameras are trending again, so obviously you have to bring nostalgic vibes to the beach and ocean. Now you can capture proof of that adorable sea turtle you saw instead of just telling people and hoping they believe you.
A laptop tent because let's be honest, how much work are you actually accomplishing while you sit inside staring longingly at your chair outside that's directly in the sun. Now you can soak it all up without risking getting fired cause you're still working!! Even Hannah Montana would be jealous of you getting the best of both worlds.
A four-pack of towel bands for a solution that'll keep your towels down *and* won't take up a huge chunk of your (limited) suitcase. It's basically an oversized rubber band designed to keep your towel from flying off your chair, aaaand it can help you quickly identify your seat from a sea of hundreds of towels that are all exactly the same.
Some vinyl picnic table and bench covers that are perfect for your lunch in the park when you do not wanna sit on the ground but the tables around are… not exactly… clean.

Or you can stick 'em on the table in your backyard to make it a little extra cutie while also protecting you from getting a splinter in your booty.

A weighted headrest so your aesthetic (but mildly uncomfortable) pool chairs can get an upgrade that'll make you wanna sit in them for hours. You just have to hang this over the top and the weighted back keeps it from falling down *and* allows for easy adjustment so it fits perfectly for each person.

And it folds up flat so you can easily take it to and from the beach.
A cut-to-size aloe wrap because as hard as you try, you miiiight still end up with a sunburn that feels like your skin is on fire, and this will be your new BFF. The sigh you're about to release when this cooling patch touches your bright red skin is gonna be next level.

An adjustable folding rattan chair perfect for lounging on the side of the pool, so you can be comfy while still keeping your feet in the water because it is HOT 🥵 and there's no way you're lasting outside for more than 10 minutes if you aren't at least partially in the pool. The backrest can be adjusted to four levels to make sure you're always comfy as heck.
A Shibumi windblown shade that'll keep you protected from the sun's scorching rays. Plus, it packs down into a super small and convenient case so you can easily pack and carry it.
Some goggles with a click-open clasp and mirrored lenses, because it's 2025, and someone finally invented a version that doesn't fog up or pull your hair out when you take 'em off. Gone are the days of fighting your kiddo to get out of the pool just to have to wrestle their goggles off, yanking their hair in the process, and making an already grumpy kid grumpier. Those wails will never be heard again.
Or a pair of Frogglez that have fully redesigned the goggle game. Like, seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make the strap a piece of plastic that gets wrapped around your hair and then rips HUGE clumps out when you take them off?! These are made with a neoprene strap and have adjustable Velcro so they can actually fit each kiddo's head comfortably.
A BrüMate hard cooler so much more advanced than a traditional cooler, you'll wonder why you ever had the version that's just an empty vessel. This thing has a built-in tap to dispense beverages, a bottle opener in the lid, a dry rack to keep snacks cold but off the ice, wheels, a handle, secure latches, AND it can hold 48 12-oz cans. To make it even better, ice can last inside for *SEVEN* days.
Or a smaller Stanley cooler that doubles as a drink dispenser, holds two gallons, and will keep your fave beverages chilled for 13 hours or iced for up to two days.

And that cooling sensation will feel sooo nice when it's 90 degrees outside and you can't stop sweating. Just don't be tempted and take a bite...
A cleverly designed retractable window sunshade because sometimes the summer vibe is just HOT and you need a way to survive getting back into your car that doesn't involve melting your booty on seats that feel like hot lava!
A waterproof baby wrap so you can enjoy the pool without worrying about holding on to your kiddo for dear life. This is also great for anyone watching two little ones because you can be hands-free and ready to play with the older one. Now, if you have to have your baby attached to your body, it can at least be while you're cooling off in the pool instead of just having your two sticky, hot, and sweaty bodies smushed together.
A Slammo game set if you're not a lay-on-the-beach-and-do-nothing-all-day kind of person. This volleyball-like game will keep the whole beach crew active. Let the games begin!
