34 Summery Hidden Gems On Amazon That You've Probably Never Heard Of
A useful waterproof baby carrier if you'd appreciate having your hands free when you take your little one in the pool. It's made of a fast-drying neoprene material (think surf suits) and has soft, padded straps.
A pair of sockless shoe liners because the return of the sun also means the return of stinky, sweaty feet. Bleh! Sometimes, you don't want or need a layer of socks, and that's where these washable and absorbent shoe liners come in handy!
A Sol de Janeiro shimmering body oil with SPF 50 for a dazzling glow without the white cast or the greasy feel — because my sweat glands are already in overdrive the minute temps rise above 80 degrees. And it's Sol de Janeiro, so you know it smells amazing. Duh!
A lavender-scented Downy laundry odor remover to really get into the fibers of your clothing and linens to remove odor-causing residue. If you're sweating up a storm in the warmer months or stinking up your clothes in front of a campfire (worth it for the s'mores, tho!), you'll wanna keep this on hand.
An office chair blanket that'll create a cocoon of warmth (and it's strapped to the chair so it won't fall off), so you can focus on your work instead of cursing the office manager every 10 minutes because they're absolutely blasting the AC.
A mesh V-neck one-piece so stunning and surprisingly comfortable that you'll find any and every excuse to wear it.
A pre-swim hair cream if you plan to spend the next few months in your pool but don't want your mane to look like a dry, tangled mess. This cream protects your tresses from chlorine and can help prevent blonde hair from turning green.
A car seat cover because the inside of your car — and your kiddos' black plastic car seat — can reach scorching hot temps. This works like a windshield sunshade, deflecting the sun's rays to keep the car seat (on average) 26 degrees cooler.
And since we're talking about things to help keep your car cooler in the summer: The Noggle, a personal air-conditioning system for cars with weak ACs that won't reach the backseat or cars that don't have vents in the back. Reviewers say it's great for kids and pets!
A roll-on sunscreen sponge to make the always messy (why is it so messy?!) task of applying sunscreen a heck of a lot better. With this little tool, your hands will stay clean (no more greasy hands!), and the sponge will prevent too much sunscreen from coming out = less product wasted.
A beach towel with built-in sun protection that'll block 98% of the sun's rays, doing a much better job of shielding your skin from the sun than a regular beach towel when you're a toasty towel burrito post swim. It dries quickly and is designed to shed sand with just a few shakes.
And speaking of sun protection, a moisturizing doggie sunscreen with SPF 30 so your four-legged friend, who ofc loves sun-bathing when it's 95 degrees, has some defense against the sun's rays.
A pack of towel bands if you didn't plan to spend your vacation chasing your towel down the beach or the pool deck after the wind blows it away. Reviewers say they take up less space in your bag and do a better job holding down your towel than bulky clips.
A Hershey's s'mores caddy because no summer day is complete without an ooey-gooey campfire s'more. This tackle box has room for all the essentials: graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and roasting sticks.
A pair of fabric strap swim goggles (from Shark Tank!) for kids and adults who are sick of regular old goggles snagging, pulling, and tangling your hair. The wide, stretchy strap is designed to be more comfortable and sit more securely so your little one's not constantly readjusting it.
A hair-identifier spray to make your monthly dermaplaning session as pain-free as possible. Now, you can be sure you're shaving all the peach fuzz to make makeup application smoother and reveal that summery glow. And reviewers say the spray helps the razor glide more smoothly.
A pack of underarm shields that'll soak up sweat before it can stain your shirt. They're also designed to stop odors so you don't look *or* smell like you just sweat through your shirt.
A rechargeable mini air pump so something as minor as the lack of an outlet doesn't stop you from inflating a pool, pool toys, an air mattress, or a splash pad. You can even pack it in a suitcase to deflate compression bags.
A beach cart if you're tired of schlepping heavy bags filled with beach toys, food, towels, tents, beach chairs, and whatever else your family hands you. This roomy cart has balloon wheels so it can roll over sand.
A sand remover mitt because leaving the beach with sand crumbs in every crevice of your body — and all over the car carpets — isn't a summer annoyance you need to put up with anymore. A true beach bag essential!
A pack of light-blocking strips for eliminating the pesky light leakage that happens around the edges of the blinds, even blackout blinds. They attach via magnets, so installation and removal is easy peasy lemon squeezy. Just as easy as falling asleep during a bright summer day or sleeping in even when the summer sun rises at 5:30 a.m.
Twister Splash, an updated version of everyone's favorite body-contorting game that'll shoot water at you unless you can cover the hole with your hands or feet.
A pack of disposable paper bibs so you're always prepared when you're out of the house this summer. With three layers of protection and an adhesive tab so you can keep the bib attached to their clothes *plus* a built-in crumb catcher, these bibs will make impromptu park lunches, playdates, meals out, and arts and crafts time much less messy.
Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder — a skin-smoothing, pore-blurring, ultra-fine powder if your skin is oily, oily, oily. This semi-matte powder absorbs the shine but leaves your ~glow~ untouched without feeling dry or cakey on your skin.
A cut-to-size aloe wrap because warm weather means you're bound to have at least one really bad sunburn, no matter how hard you try to be diligent about sunscreen application.
A stylishly oversized romper with deep pockets for satisfying the two little voices in your head: the one that demands comfort at all times, and the one that says, "New season, new seasonal wardrobe!"
A durable and portable foldable flip seat to spare your tushy the pain and the wet butt stains that come with sitting on the ground. Use it at the beach, the pool, a tailgate, a camping trip, a sporting event, or an outdoor picnic and bask in the newfound superiority complex that comes with owning one of these seats.
Some dog-friendly ice pops — ice ~pups~ if you will — that your furry friend can enjoy whole. Yep, stick and all! This is a great summertime activity to both stimulate their brain and keep 'em cool.
Or a freezeable dog bone treat mold with a special design that grips the floor so your pooch can't nose it under the couch where it collects dirt and hair...yuck!
A bug bite relief patch if your poor littles get absolutely devoured by mosquitoes every year. These kid-safe patches are infused with witch hazel and aloe to soothe itchy bites and prevent kids from scratching.
A laptop tent because this is how your email finds me: poolside, enjoying the weather, trying to do as little work as possible before 5 p.m. rolls around. If my boss is reading this, that was a JOKE. But really, if you want to work outside, this handy tent will reduce glare from the sun, help keep your machine cool so it doesn't overheat, and then folds down into a lightweight carrying case when the workday is over.
A "Cup Claw" — a bra pad removal tool for expertly removing the padding from sports bras and bikinis. Aaaaaaand it makes reinserting the padding evenly so much easier. (Because why are the slots for the padding always the size of my pinky nail??)
A clear beach tote to handle all your needs so you can seriously relax. It's designed to sit upright and not fall over on the sand. There's a touchscreen phone pouch included so you can order a frozen daiquiri to your lounger even if your fingers are dripping wet. It's waterproof, washable, has adorable bow straps, is carry-on approved, and can hold several full-size beach towels.
A moisture-wicking headband that's meant to be worn under a riding or biking helmet. It'll absorb sweat so it doesn't drip down your face (a sensory nightmare!) while also protecting your hair from damaging friction caused by the helmet rubbing. Oh — it'll even hold your earbuds in place!

Sol de Janeiro's Hair And Body Fragrance Mist — imagine the delicious smell of their iconic Bum Bum Cream, with notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla, but as your body spray! It basically smells like summer in a bottle, and you're gonna want that since it's practically right around the corner. Or, a Phlur *Vanilla* Skin body mist you can spritz on both your skin and hair, with warm notes of vanilla, sandalwood, pink pepper, and jasmine. Reviewers are obsessed with how it's not overly sweet-smelling and say that it lasts all day, especially when sprayed on your clothes! A tube of nongreasy Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to help tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles — *and* not strip your skin of moisture thanks to the hyaluronic acid. Reviewers are "impressed" with how this works because it's lightweight, absorbs instantly, and delivers solid results. A SPF 30 Hawaiian Tropic mineral powder sunscreen for those moments when the UV index is climbing but your motivation to reapply... isn't. Just brush the translucent powder on your face (or scalp!) for an easy refresh — it mattifies by soaking up excess oil, leaves zero white cast, and won't mess up your makeup. It blends seamlessly into a range of skin tones and even doubles as both a primer and a finishing SPF touch! A Summer Fridays "Pink Sugar" tinted lip butter balm that delivers a sheer pink tint while drenching your lips in hydration thanks to shea and murumuru seed butter. It's nonsticky, leaves a gorgeous shine, and blends well with other lip products — perfect for those midday touch-ups when your pout needs a little pick-me-up. No wonder it's getting all the hype. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion designed to deliver lightweight and long-lasting moisture (24 hours to be ~exact~) without that horrible greasy feeling other moisturizers can leave behind. Your skin will not only feel super smooth, but reviewers say this smells like "heaven on Earth." 🌎 Shark's FlexStyle Air Styling hair tool to curl, straighten, volumize, and blow dry your hair — all with one tool that rivals the MUCH pricier Dyson Airwrap. 👀 With interchangeable attachments, four heat settings, and three airflow options designed to minimize heat damage while still giving you salon-worthy results. It's lightweight, powerful, and basically pays for itself once you realize your new favorite stylist is... you. A Tree Hut Vanilla Shea Sugar Scrub that'll buff away dead skin so you're left feeling silky smooth and smelling like a dream. The little grains are just the right size (not too rough, not too gentle), and it's packed with moisturizing goodness that won't irritate sensitive skin. You'll be obsessed with the value, too: you get a ton of product for a price that feels like a steal! An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil to help control sebum, remove blackheads *and* dissolve makeup — some people are even left with visible residue on their fingertips! If you want to start double cleansing, this is the perfect first step. A pack of single-use Clean Skin Club Clean Towels, because unlike a bath towel that may be full of bacteria, these are designed to be wayyy cleaner (which can help with acne concerns). Plus, they're super soft, making them extra gentle on your skin. A Tirtir cushion foundation reviewers call "magic" because it's brightening and does not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. It lasts up to a whopping 72 hours and blends easily into your skin to hide blemishes, under-eye bags, and redness. Plus, it's buildable, so that means you can rock a natural *or* full glam look. Or, Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation, a powder foundation that leaves a smooth demi-matte finish (think not too dewy, not too matte). It offers light to medium coverage that you can build up without it looking cakey. Reviewers who are 50 years old and up especially love it for their mature skin since it doesn't settle into fine lines or cling to places they don't want. Medicube's Collagen Night Wrapping Mask designed to improve your skin's elasticity and moisture retention, so you wake up with that glowy, well-rested look — the definition of ~beauty rest~. It goes on like a jelly and sets into a thin, clear layer you can peel off in the morning. Reviewers say it's gentle on acne-prone skin, and a few even said it gave them that viral glass skin finish. A nongreasy Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Body Butter for those "ow, ow, ow" moments when you underestimated the power of the sun. It's packed with shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado oil to keep your skin moisturized for up to 12 hours and help soothe the sting. It can even help *prevent* peeling! Medicube's Jelly Cream packed with collagen, niacinamide, and plant-derived squalane to help improve skin elasticity, fade dark spots, and prevent moisture loss. It has a thicker consistency, but absorbs quickly and is the perfect overnight cream for deep hydration! Grace & Stella under eye masks so your tired eyes say "well-rested" instead of "running on four hours of sleep." They help reduce puffiness, brighten dark circles, and give your under-eyes a hit of hydration. With over 20,000+ 5-star reviews, adding this soothing step to your routine is kind of a no-brainer. A Wonderskin Lip Stain in the shade "Whimsical" that goes on blue but leaves behind the prettiest rosy tint — and yep, it's totally waterproof and smudgeproof. Just swipe it on, wait 10-30 seconds, then wipe it off with a damp tissue to reveal a long-lasting flush. Reviewers love using it in place of lip liner since it doesn't budge and outlasts those pricey pencils. Fewer touch-ups and more money in your pocket? Yes, please. A plumping Nature Republic Honey Melting lip tint, aka what would happen if your favorite lip balm and your go-to tint had a ridiculously hydrating baby. It glides on like a dream, feels like butter (without any stickiness, thankfully), and gives your lips a juicy pop of color that actually stays put. It'll keep your lips soft *and* give your pout a plumper look. Naturium's The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash — it starts as a luxe oil and then transforms into a soft, soothing lather that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and glowier after you step out of the shower.

A Laneige lip sleeping mask that'll make dry, flaky lips feel so smooth, luscious, and nourished, you'll notice a difference after just one use! Just slather on the murumuru seed and shea butter formulation nightly — and hey, you may want to use it during the day, too, because it leaves a beautiful, glossy shine. ColourPop's "Going Coconuts" nude eyeshadow palette — it serves up the *perfect* mix of smokey, shimmery shades without breaking the bank.

Reviewers rave about the minimal fallout, buttery blendability, and serious pigmentation. A lightweight Saltair Body Oil in the scent "Santal Bloom" that sinks right into your skin to leave you glowy, hydrated, and nourished — no greasy residue in sight. Warm a few pumps between your hands and massage into your damp skin post-shower or bath. You'll be flowing and smelling like a dreamy blend of sandalwood, amber, and sensual musks. A chip-resistant OPI RapiDry Quick Dry nail polish designed to set (without smudging!) in just 60 seconds. So if you need to click "next episode" while doing your self-care, you can do so without ruining your nails in the process. While it only lasts up to five days, the fast dry time makes an at-home mani less of a hassle *and* way cheaper 'cause the salon ain't cheap. Or, a set of Glamnetic's press-on nails if you're feeling a little lazy 'cause these only take minutes to apply. These nails can be reshaped and reused, and they come in so many chic styles that choosing just one will be IMPOSSIBLE. Reviewers say they last a long time, too — one reviewer who's a mom said they lasted two full weeks through the holidays without falling off or budging! A pack of Biodance's Bio-Collagen Real Deep masks for glowier, more hydrated skin by the time you wake up. Just apply it before bed, let it work its magic overnight, and peel it off once it turns transparent. It can help deeply moisturize, minimize the appearance of pores, and leave your skin looking radiant! A tub of Medicube dual-textured toner pads with lavender, AHA, and BHA to help soothe, cleanse, and minimize the appearance of T-zone pores.
