Sunscreen is a must in the summer, especially when the UV rays are strong. Without it, you’re putting yourself at risk of getting skin cancer, premature aging and sunburns.

Summer’s no fun without some refreshing cold lemonade. This lemonade drink mix from Country Time has no sweetener or artificial flavors, so it’s slightly healthier than other options on the market. All you have to do is add some water to the mix and it’s ready to enjoy.
Pickleballs
Price: $39.99
The world is obsessed with pickleball and if you’re also a fan, you may want to stock up before your next match. This 24-pack comes out to less than $2 per ball, which can save you money compared to buying smaller packs throughout the season. It also comes with a one-year, no-crack warranty.
Beach Towels
Price: $26.99
Though you don’t necessarily need beach towels, they can prevent sand from getting onto your clothes and food. It’s also just more comfortable lying on beach towels instead of burning hot sand. So if you haven’t already, add a couple of these elegant beach towels to your shopping cart. And since they’re reversible, you get two designs for just the price of one.
Mosquito Repellent
Price: $16.99
If you’re going to be outdoors a lot this summer, make sure to stock up on mosquito repellent to avoid getting those annoying and itchy bug bites. This pack comes with two 7.5-ounce bottles that can provide protection from mosquitoes for up to eight hours. Plus, it’s not sticky nor greasy, so it actually feels good on your skin.
