Because apparently summer doesn't have to involve chafed thighs, smelly shoes, and overheating all the time.
1. A shoe-deodorizing spray that'll put an end to sweaty sneaker (or Birks, flats, anything your feet touch) stink as soon as you spritz. May this be the summer our closet actually doesn't smell.
Promising review: "This stuff REALLY works. All my kids' shoes were super stinky and I gave each one a spray. The results were immediate and long-lasting. You can't imagine how happy I am because all those smelly toes were getting to me. I also really like that it's all natural and has a fresh clean scent." —MoogliWoogli

2. A pack of coconut water powder to quench your thirst on-the-go with H2O's fancier sibling. Plus! It's fueled with electrolytes and trace minerals to help you feel even more refreshed — all you have to do is add water.
Promising review: "I was surprised really tastes like pure coconut water once you mix the powder. I've also used it to make smoothies that adds a boost of deliciousness." —Lisa R.
Get it from Laird Superfood for $14.95.
3. A chafing relief powder gel, because sometimes we need double the protection (especially on super hot days). Reviewers also use this when they wear bathing suits and swear it keeps their thighs and bikini lines soothed!
Promising review: "Girls with chub rub, look no further. Those cute shorts? Wear 'em. That cute dress? Put that ish on. I wore this with my bikini in Florida for three days, only reapplied one to two times a day and had minimal chaffing (mostly due to sand, which can't be helped, sadly). But it wasn't bad, nor did it cause me any real pain like chaffing normally does. I plan on getting this when I go to California in June to get the same use! Love love love! PS: I have suuuuuper sensitive skin and had no breakouts or suspect rashes using this." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
4. A sun visor clip for holding up to two sunglasses at a time, or your regular glasses, to always have both on-hand when driving. Now you can easily switch between the two without digging around your car.
Promising review: "Love this sunglass holder. It stays securely on the visor and I can put and take my sunglasses on and off from it with one hand. It's much better than the last one I purchased off of Amazon. That one got so loose that it wouldn't stay on the visor anymore. I don't think I'll have that problem with this one. The visor is still usable with the sunglass holder on it and the sunglasses are within perfect reaching distance to take off even while driving with one hand. And the clips hold my sunglasses tightly. Best purchase ever!" —Tara S.
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
5. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll help prevent over- and under-watering your precious plant bbs so they survive even the hottest of summer days. This'll reduce ~water stress~ in plants and protect them from heat and drought.
Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr
Get it from Amazon for $8.72.
6. A draft-blocker to make the most of your AC by keeping it in the room, instead of letting it escape. You'll stay cool and save money over time now that you don't have to blast your AC to feel it.
And! It'll muffle outside noises, particularly helpful if you're currently quarantining with loud people.
Promising review: "I used it to close the gap in some of the rooms in our house. We are working from home and closing the air gaps reduces sound traveling between rooms and also enables better air conditioning." —manikandan
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors).
7. A set of gel-infused can coolers, because their two-part plastic design literally locks in coldness. Throw in their outer neoprene sleeves to insulate, and your drink can actually stay cold for at least four hours.
Just keep them in the freezer until you're ready to use them!
Promising review: "I couldn't believe it until I tried it. It actually does make things colder than when they start. I usually put in a can of pop out of the fridge and let it sit for 15 minutes and it is really, really cold! This keeps it cold forever. Can't imagine how it could work any better!" —Todd Thornock
Get a set of four from Amazon for $39.95.
8. And! A three-in-one stainless-steel bottle cooler so you can keep your vino ice cold no matter how hot it gets. Plus! This also works as an aerator and pourer so your wine is chilled and upgraded in flavor. Win, win.
You'll get the metal rod to put in your bottle (with an attached aerator), as well as a corkscrew and stopper.
Promising review: "This is a great product. It keeps wine cold for a long time and makes it easy to pour!" —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
9. A pressure-activated cooling pad for keeping your pupper safe from overheating when the temps rise. It stays five to ten degrees cooler than room temperature, and even helps to reduce joint pain.
Promising review: "I have a pug and a toy fox terrier/Chihuahua mix and they absolutely love this thing. I just leave it sitting on the living room floor and they gravitate towards it whenever they need to cool down (they sometimes even fight over it). Both fit simultaneously if they are in the mood for sharing the space. The mat is tough, too! I don't think their nails can penetrate it." —E Marsh
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in four colors).
10. A melting gel face cleanser that'll quickly dissolve even a full face of makeup plus sweat, dirt, and excess oil (oh, the lovely perks of summer afternoons) without drying our skin. It works fast so even the laziest of us can feel squeaky clean in under a minute.
Promising review: "Love it. It's easy and takes all my makeup off. My face feels so clean and not dry." —Nesserrose
Get it from No7 for $7.99.
