Summer is my favorite time of year (Oh, how I LOVE the sunshine!),
and I try find any excuse I can to get outside by the pool and sip on wine
a cold beverage. This is why I’m always on the look out for the best
summer products– I’m talking comfy lounge chairs and floating speakers!
Because who can live without that?
Whether you’re going to the beach or hanging out in the backyard, here are a few things that might get you excited about summer. Just don’t forget to wear your sunscreen!

1. Freeze Wine Glasses
It’s
about time this was invented. Nobody likes to sip on a cold glass of
chardonnay while they’re catching some rays. I like to plop a few frozen
grapes into mine, but this is even better! Store these insulated wine glasses in
the freezer, and the frozen gel inside will keep your wine cold for
much longer. You can also put them in the refrigerator to keep red wine
at the optimal temperature.

2. Easy-Read Lounge Chair
Just when I thought life couldn’t get any better, I find this. Pure genius! With this Easy-Read Lounge Chair,
you can relax by the pool or beach while keeping your face, book, iPad,
and phone out of the sun. You might as well put a drink and straw down
there while you’re at it so you don’t have to be bothered with getting
up. It also has arm holes and a breast cavity for supreme comfort while
you’re trying to be lazy.
3. Waterproof Phone Case
Where
has this been all of my life? I absolutely love this idea for the water
park, where otherwise it’s impossible to carry your phone around. It
even has a strap to keep it safely around your wrist or attached to a
loop in your pocket. It is also a universal size that’s made to fit just
about every smart phone, even the iPhone 6 plus. But the best part– you
can pick one up here on Amazon for less than $10! Sounds like a deal to me.
4. Slushy Maker
I
picked up one of these at Target last summer, and it was one of the
best investments I’ve ever made! You can turn any liquid into a slushy
in less than a minute. Store the cup in your freezer until the gel
inside the walls of the cup is frozen (about 2 hours), pour any liquid
into the cup, and then squeeze. That’s it! The longer it’s in there, the
slushier it gets. You can also pick one up on Amazon.
5. Spiked Drink Holders
If you’re a beach bum, these spiked drink holders are
a must-have! Simply poke them into the sand to hold your drinks and
other items to keep the sand off. They come in a pack of 6 for about
$35– not bad!
6. Inflatable Serving Bar
I’m pretty sure this idea started with a small inflatable pool that was used as a large ice chest (brilliant!), only this inflatable serving bar is made in the perfect shape to fit on top of a table, and is made with a convenient drain valve for when you’re finished.
7. Flip & Float Pool Lounger
The beauty behind this pool lounger
is that it never needs inflating! I’ve gone through too many pool
floats that only last one summer to ever buy those cheap blow-up floats
ever again. I like how you can use this one to lay down, lounge, or sit
up in the water.
8. BBQ S'mores Maker
Because everything tastes better on the grill! You can also use this BBQ S’mores Maker in the oven or even toaster oven. Now you don’t have to wait to have a campfire to enjoy the ooey gooey mess.
9. Floating Ping Pong Table
Just
when you thought ping pong couldn’t get any better– now you can play it
in the pool! The board seems quite a bit smaller than a traditional
table, so it would take some time to get use to, but I’m up for the
challenge. You can also use this floating ping pong table out of the water in the colder months.
Watermelon Keg Kit
10. Watermelon Keg Kit
A summer party isn’t complete without a watermelon keg! This kit
makes it easy to turn a hollowed out watermelon or pumpkin into a drink
dispenser for punch or cocktails. Now, all you have to do is find a
watermelon with a flat enough bottom to stand on it’s own.Watermelon Keg Kit
11. Wine2Go
This
is obviously the most amazing invention since the light bulb. I can
think of at least a dozen times when this would have been a game
changer– tailgating, camping, concerts, tubing, picnics, etc. It fits an
entire bottle of wine, but works for other drinks, too. Pick up a few here on Amazon.
12. The Comfiest Way To Lounge
Although
a little on the pricey side, I think these cozy lounge chairs are worth
every penny! They’re versatile enough to not only be the comfiest way
to hang out in the pool all day, but you can also use them on the patio
as extra seating. Check them out here.
13. Waterproof Pool Speakers
Keep the music close and party going with these waterproof speakers that
hook up to any bluetooth device. They float in water while keeping the
speaker above water– who comes up with this stuff?! And, the reviews
seem to be pretty good as far as the sound quality goes.
14. Iced Party Platters
Although simple in design, this 2 piece set
of iced platters is the smartest way to keep food chilled while outside
in the summer heat. Perfect for entertaining! They also make something
similar to this but in a bowl form for dips, pasta salads, etc.
15. Baby Wading Pool
This
is like bringing the water park home! Just hook it up to a hose and let
the little ones play and stay cool all day. Even the smallest of yards
would have room for this kind of water play. Read the reviews and check
it out here on Amazon.
16. Wine & Beverage Tote
A drink with a handle– yeah, I think I’m going to have to get this ASAP. This beverage tote
is ideal for a party on-the-go or brining your favorite drink to a
party with ease. There is also room for a cold pack to keep it chilled
if needed. The bags for this are sold separately, but hold up to 100 ounces of your favorite drink!
17. Pet Cooling Mat
Don’t forget about your furry little friends! Keep them cool on hot summer days with this pet cooling mat. It’s pressure activated, so all they have to do is simply lay down on the mat to help with heat exhaustion.
