We’re not going to play favorites, but when it comes to seasons, there’s something special about summer. The warmer weather has us outside reaping all the benefits of being in nature. There are more hours of mood-boosting sunlight to soak up. And of course, school’s out and vacation season officially commences. (Sorry winter, spring, and fall.) As you get ready to take in all that summer goodness, we wanted to bring you things that’ll enhance your experience. We’ve searched high and low for fun-and-functional items for when you’re headed to the beach or pool, hosting a cookout, going on a picnic, or just doing some summertime lounging solo. So, cheers to all the lazy, joyful, sunny, playful, memory-filled days ahead because—lest we need remind you—winter is coming. Happy summer!
