Summer is in full swing, Fly Friends. If you find yourself without your usual mix of summer accessories, don’t worry. I’ve put together this roundup from Amazon that can be at your house in just 2 days (with Prime of course)! I’ve got all the necessities covered, so let’s get into it.
1. Summer Accessories – Handheld Fan
LINKED HERE | $14
“This is a great device for anyone concerned about heat stroke or overheating in the summer months. I like the fact that it has a water tank along with a fan and mister. In a worst-case scenario, I can release the cap and drink the water to prevent heat stroke. The mister is powered with an excellent spray. This particular 02COOL model seems more sturdy than the previous clear plastic model I purchased 2 years ago, which lasted a long time.”
This review mentioned things I never would have thought of! Not only do you have your own personal fan with a built-in mister, but you also get an emergency water supply. This is great for summer adventures with a lot of walking or when you’re tanning at the beach.
2. An Oversized Sun Hat
LINKED HERE | $22
“This is the perfect sun hat! It’s really comfortable and looks so cute. I love that the brim is stiff enough that it doesn’t flop down in my face but flexible enough that you can fold it for travel. The removable adjustable chin strap was a lifesaver recently when I was out on a windy day. It kept the hat securely on my head. I also love the bow – it really adds a little interest to the hat. The hat looks a lot more expensive than it is. I might even buy it in another color There is a velcro strap on the inside that allows you to make micro-adjustments in size which is really convenient. Highly recommend!”
Don’t knock the chin strap! Being able to secure your cute floppy hat to your head means you won’t lose it on a windy beach day and wear it in the car or on a boat. This hat also helps protect your face and scalp from the sun and makes it easier to enjoy a beach reach or see your phone in the bright sunshine.
3. Cute Beach Bag
LINKED HERE | $16
“I was looking for a large, multi-purpose bag – something that can haul knitting one day, snacks the next, and clothing the next. This far exceeded my expectations. I have been using it for weeks, and it is holding up perfectly. I will buy more as gifts.”
This bag makes a super cute beach or pool bag, but you can really use this bad boy all year long. I love that it has tons of pockets to help keep things organized and is definitely big enough to hold a beach towel.
4. Summer Accessories – Giant Snack Float
LINKED | $58
“I just tried it in my pool during the weekend. Now my wife can also enjoy the pool although she does not swim. I inflated the bed and accessories on Friday and it still had enough air to float on Sunday. We like that it has a string around the main floating bed so I can pull it around while my wife is on it. I also like the mini compartment float cushion which I can put beer or drinks on it.”
Does anyone else want to be pulled around by their partner on a giant bed-sized floaty complete with a snack tray this summer? This is one of my favorite recent Amazon finds! I love that this float is definitely big enough for a plus size babe to keep comfy, and the snack tray bit is removable! So even if you’re down to swim that day, you can take your chips, guac, and margarita with you.
5. Wide Width Sandals
LINKED HERE | $99
“I ordered the white slide and it’s very comfortable. Fits true to size and feels great across my foot (I’m a wide width). I will order more colors. Very cute on.”
Franco Sarto sandals are known for being super cute, pairing well with everything, and staying comfy all day long. It’s important to have a pair of sandals that can be dressed up or down and pair well with anything in your closet. This is especially useful when packing for trips. Imagine only needing one pair of shoes!
6. Fun 7.
Summer Earrings
LINKED HERE | $23 for all pairs
“I love these earrings! I’ve worn them to the pool multiple times already this summer and when I go out. They are fun, lightweight, and gentle for my sensitive ears – so gentle I forget I’m wearing them sometimes! I love the variety and I am very happy with my purchase.”
Why go from store to store trying to find a mix of earrings that will suit your summer wardrobe, when you can buy one roundup of them on Amazon and have them delivered to your house in two days? There’s really a pair of earrings for any outfit here!
7. Summer Accessories – Hair Clips
LINKED HERE | $8
“The variety of colors and shapes are modern. These are sturdy. Also, the hair clips have a soft rich texture versus cheap plastic which is pleasantly surprising. Would buy again.”
The claw clip is back, baby! Oh, you thought we were actually doing our hair this summer? In this heat? Absolutely not! I love carrying one of these in my bag for whenever I get too hot and want to throw my hair up. They don’t leave ponytail holder indents in your hair and don’t hurt to take out! They’re also great to have when you’re swimming. Just put your hair up and don’t worry about wet hair touching your back.
8. A Cute Summer Phone Case
EARTH TONES LINKED HERE $19 | BRIGHTS LINKED HERE $17
“Very summery and whimsical. I’ve always wanted something like this but thought I would have to make my own. Happy to see them on Amazon!”
Remember when changing your phone case with the seasons was all the rage in high school? I don’t know why, but it really puts you in the summer mood. Check these two out.
9. Portable Phone Charger
LINKED HERE | $39
“I love this so much! It’s so much better than bringing a heavy battery pack along. It’s small enough to fit virtually anywhere and it’s good for a little over a full charge. I think I may buy a couple more for my family.”
Speaking of having your phone on you in the summer, having a portable charger is a must! Because phones overheat so much, sometimes they’ll die without warning. It’s important to have a portable charger with you so that you can always have your phone on you for emergencies. It’s also just nice to have a backup in your bag with all of the adventuring that comes with summer.
10. Summer Accessories – Sunscreen Packets
LINKED HERE | $9 for 12
“Brought these to Disney. And packed two every day for my BF and me. We were able to share one pack every day which we applied on our first lines and then we would reapply in the afternoon if it was a particularly scalding day. No sunburns after 7 days at Disney (I’m a ginger!)! Will repurchase.”
The number of times that I end up out somewhere and realize that I probably should have applied sunscreen before leaving the house is far too much. The solution is simple! Keep these little sunscreen packs in your bag so that you never find yourself getting a surprise sunburn. And as you can see by the review, these are ginger approved!
