1. A single-serve iced coffee maker so you can enjoy an iced coffee any time of day without having to leave your air-conditioned home. Press a button and your drink is ready in about four minutes, and it includes a tumbler with a lid and straw so you can enjoy it right away. It also makes hot coffee, if you're craving something warmer when the temps drop later in the year.

Walmart

Promising review: "If you're an iced coffee lover like me, you need this! Basically, no setup at all, really, once you pull it out of the box. I love that it's a single-serve and includes a tumbler to go with it for when you're on the go. Simple instructions on how to use. It has two buttons for iced or hot coffee. Love this product!" —Brittany

Price: $19.98

2. A lightweight cooler you can wheel wherever you want to have cold refreshments within arm's reach, even if that's on your balcony. It's fully insulated to keep things cold, and it's easy to wipe down to keep clean.

Walmart

Promising review: "Purchased this to replace one we had that was “lost” under mysterious circumstances. It does exactly what it is supposed to. The two things that surprised me most are: Ice and cold retention We filled it early at 7 a.m. and used it all day in the sun. When we got home we left it on the porch, the next morning, I went to empty it out and found it still had well over half the ice we started with and the remaining drinks were still ice cold. I was happy enough with the 10 hours we got from it in the Florida sun but even more pleasantly surprised it went over a full 24 hours! It is a well made cooler. The handle is sturdy and it rolls smoothly. I very much recommend it." —Shelly

Price: $34.52 (available in two colors)

3. A foldable double camping chair if you like to sit outside but don't have the room for bulky furniture. It has an adjustable canopy shade and a built-in cooler so you can sip some iced tea while you spill some pipin' hot tea with your bestie.

Walmart

Promising review: "We love this double chair with umbrella. It packs up nicely in the bag and is easy to carry. Folds out great and is perfect for a party of two. Each armrest has a cupholder and there's a little cooler in the middle to keep things cold." —Jennifer

Price: $53.99 (available in three colors)

4. A lightweight silk blanket for anyone who likes to sleep with covers but doesn't want to end up waking up a sweaty mess. Swap out your down duvet with this, and you won't be kicking off the blanket in the middle of the night.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is a perfect summer-time blanket. It's not puffy but not thin as a sheet. And man is it cool. I wonder how they do it? I probably would not put it in the dryer but the technology really works. My dog a Chihuahua only likes warm and snuggly and this blanket is so cool she slept in her crate. I'm going to get the sheet set next. I'm a hot sleeper. I sleep with the fans and I have peri menopause. This comforter is such a game changer." —anonymous

Price: $29.99+ (originally $33.99+, available in two sizes, two colors, and two patterns)

5. A powerful oscillating tower fan with a remote control so you don't even have to get up to adjust the breeze to flow directly at your body. It has six speeds and four modes, and is quiet enough to run while you're sleeping.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is by far the best fan I have ever had! I always thought a fan is a fan, but boy was I wrong! This fan doesn't just blow the warm air around the room like every other fan I've ever had…it somehow manages to cool the air, and it has six speeds! Buy it! You won't be disappointed!" —Ceely

Price: $79.99 (originally $104.97, available in two colors)

6. A pair of cooling memory foam pillows because who likes to wake up with sweaty hair sticking to their face? These have a cooling tech on one side and a bamboo viscose on the other to draw heat and moisture away, no matter how long your beauty sleep lasts.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "I have gotten SUCH better sleep, and my neck doesn't hurt as bad! The difference in my daily routine after getting good sleep has been a blessing. These are amazing and well worth it. I opened them and waited 24 hours to use them, and they're great. My 8-year-old steals one of them every night, lol." —Alyssa

"The technology used to manufacture this pillow is incredible. The softness and comfort it gives is amazing. I gained 3–4 hours of sleep. Highly recommend the purchase. The cooling side is amazing in this heat." —Jason

Price: $29.99+ for two (originally $49.99+, available in three sizes)

7. And a microfiber bedsheet set so the rest of your body doesn't overheat while you're sleeping. These are soft, breathable, and wrinkle free, and you won't want to kick them off.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "This bed was so worth the low price tag. It's the best fitting bed I've had so far. It's perfect for medium firm and body cooling. I'd highly recommend this bed." —Leigh

"These are perfect sheets. I've tried so many different ones. Fit perfectly! Color is gorgeous. So soft to sleep on. Wash and dry and look like new. Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" —Mary

Price: $26.95+ (available in sizes twin–California king and eight colors)

8. A gel-infused memory foam mattress pad with a ventilated foam construction that allows for better airflow so you're not snoozing on a surface of trapped heat. It's machine washable, so you can toss it in the washing machine whenever it needs a refresh.

Walmart

Promising review: "I very rarely spend time writing reviews but had to for this mattress pad. From the first night I noticed an immediate difference in comfort and I felt that it was helpful in keeping me cool too. I think my dog slept better too. Highly recommend this!" —Karen

Price: $49.88+ (available in sizes full–king)

9. An inflatable pool if you love to be in the water but don't have the funds or room for a full-size pool in your backyard. There's still plenty of space for multiple people to be in it at the same time, and it has a removable canopy to provide shade while you soak.

Walmart

This rectangular pool measures 120 x 67 x 22 inches. 

Promising review: "My family loves this pool. The drain plug underneath makes it so easy when putting it away. I like the three separate spouts provided when airing it up and releasing the air." —anonymous

Price: $45.99 (originally $59.99)

10. An indoor-outdoor fan that's versatile enough to follow you around the house to provide extra airflow. You can use it plugged in, cordless, as a pedestal fan, as a tabletop fan... it's basically four products in one.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "Best fan I've ever purchased. Super quiet, battery power is amazing, and I can move it anywhere, even without power. The flexibility of the standard pedestal fan and off the stand is also a big plus. Can't say enough, great product." —Robert

"Best fan I have ever bought!! Love the flexibility of it, I can take it outside by the pool, or while I'm working in the garden. Either way, it's a great necessity in this South Carolina weather." —Donna

Price: $138

11. A Ninja slushy maker so you can enjoy a bevy of frozen bevvies. It has three preset programs, adjustable controls, and it keeps drinks frozen for up to 12 hours. Slushies, milkshakes, frosé... I mean, every hour just became happy hour.

Walmart

Promising review: "I know all the good slushy spots in my town. Now my kitchen is the best one. I poured my cold grape Kool-Aid in the machine and 30 mins later…. Taaadaaa! I’m gonna save so much money. I’ll use this more than any appliance I have now. Don’t hesitate, buy it!" —Tyhesha

Price: $249+ (available in three colors)

12. An ice cream maker that will let you make ice cream, gelato, sorbet, or frozen yogurt whenever your sweet tooth kicks in. And best of all, it takes just 20 minutes, which is way shorter than standing in line at the shop down the street trying to decide how many scoops you want to order.

Walmart

Promising review: "My first ever ice cream maker! Easy to use and makes excellent ice cream in a short amount of time. I bought it to match my other Beautiful brand products, so I leave it out on my counter, no need to put it away. Perfect size for one or two people, but the good news is, the ice cream can be saved in freezer containers if you want to feed more folks later." —Patricia

Price: $27.49 (originally $54.98)

13. A portable mini projector to turn your backyard into a personal outdoor movie theater. You just need Wi-Fi to connect to your favorite streaming services and a blank wall, and you can enjoy a film al fresco. BYO snacks.

Walmart

Promising review: "I absolutely love it. TV who? 😂 The sound, the quality, the picture, all of it is perfect. Highly recommend. About to buy all my family members one, plus it already had Netflix and YouTube, so all you really need is Wi-Fi/Hotspot, and you're good." —Rosa

Price:$49.99+ (available in two base types, two colors, and with or without voice control)

14. A projector screen if you don't have a good spot outside to use a projector. It has stand legs so you can place it anywhere for optimal viewing, and it only takes about 10 minutes to set up, just enough time to make popcorn and grab your snacks.

Walmart

Price: $99.94+ (available in two sizes)

15. A canopy tent for your backyard if you're looking for some easy respite from the sun. Attach some misters to it, set up a table and chairs underneath, and you've got a shady spot for outdoor dining right at home. It's easy to set up and pack away when not in use.

Walmart

Promising review: "My husband had no problems putting this up himself and it's still standing after about a week or so in the backyard. We use it as a cooling point to place the cooling mister, a couple chairs with table, a cooler with ice and water when we are working in the yard." —Meg

Price: $55.79

16. A 32-ounce stainless-steel water bottle so you can sip on ice-cold water all day long and feel extra cool from the inside out. It has a built-in reusable straw and a leak-proof lid, which is especially useful for anyone who is a little clumsy.

Walmart

Promising review: "The best bottle I've bought yet. It keeps my water ice cold for a very long time. I love the interior straw; it makes me want to drink more water often. I love it!" —Nannypooh86

Price: $29.99+ (originally $34.97; available in 11 colors)

17. A patio umbrella you can set up so you can enjoy sitting outside without getting sunburned. It has a crank handle and tilt function so you can adjust it depending on the time of day to maximize your preferred amount of shade.

Walmart

Promising review: "This 10-foot patio umbrella from Best Choice Products has been a great addition to our outdoor setup! The fog gray color looks modern and blends nicely with our patio furniture. It provides plenty of shade, which makes a big difference on hot, sunny days. The crank system is smooth and easy to use, and the push-button tilt feature lets you adjust it effortlessly as the sun moves. The construction feels sturdy with the steel frame and ribs, and it holds up well outdoors. Overall, it's stylish, functional, and offers excellent value for the price. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and attractive patio umbrella!" —Franz

Price: $44.99+ (originally $93.99, available in 20 colors)

18. A pocket-size, portable fan with four speed settings so you never have to go without instant cool air. Just charge it with a USB-C cable, and it'll work for up to 12 hours.

Walmart

Promising review: "This portable fan works great to instantly cool down and beat the heat. It's easy to charge and it lasts a long time before having to recharge. It has a cooling touch plate that you can place anywhere you want to cool down quick. The fan has four speeds to choose from and a lanyard for convenience. It's a must have for travel or working in the yard." —John

Price: $25.49 (originally $29.95)

19. A Google Nest thermostat you can program to keep your house pleasantly cool (or frigid, if that's what you like) at all times. It learns your preferred temperatures and schedules and adjusts as needed, in the most energy-efficient way. You can control it via a mobile app, and it comes with a temperature sensor so you can make sure the most important rooms are exactly as you want.

Walmart

Promising review: "This thermostat is a little pricey, but it has saved us on our monthly energy usage. Setup was a breeze. We had the original nest (prior to merging with Google) and it lost connectivity after the merge. Finally upgraded and I love the app and ease of tracking. The eco feature seems much more consistent on the newer model. I like that it can automatically detect when someone walks by to light up. Monitoring from your phone is a breeze!" —Catie

Price: $204.99+ (originally $279.99, available in three colors)

20. A flying insect trap to keep annoying bugs out of your house, even when you have all your windows open. You don't have to do much either; just plug it in, and the blue light will lure bugs like gnats, flies, and more in. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Works great! It looks like a nice decorative light for any room. You cannot see which bugs have been trapped unless you unplug it. That way, visitors don’t see everything. It’s not too bright of a light, just enough of a blue light to light up an area." —ckwsp

Price: $20.97

21. A Neutrogena sunscreen spray that's easy and quick to apply anytime you want to go out and soak up some vitamin D, but don't want to end up looking like a tomato. It's oil-free and absorbs quickly, and won't leave you feeling sticky all over.

Walmart

Promising review: "Spray covers skin area well, spray is even and adequate for coverage. Not greasy and provided protection for time I was out. Lasted the few hours I was out doing my errands. Washed off well at end of day. No overwhelming scent." —Leslie

Price: $9.88 (originally $11.92)

22. A set of blackout curtains to block out the sun to keep your home cool. They can come in various colors, so you can get a pair to match every room.

Walmart

Promising review: "I really like these curtains, I keep them up year round. Here in the North it keeps the heat in and also in the Summer keeps it cooler. This color is really nice also the back of these are white, which is what i wanted, some other versions have black for the backing, these do not. I also got several other colors to change out throughout the year." —Shannon

Price: $9+ (available in two lengths and 10 colors)

23. A countertop ice maker because there's no such thing as too much ice. Need some cubes for a glass of water, an iced coffee, or to throw in a blender for a frozen margarita? No prob. It can make two different sizes of cubes and a new batch of ice every nine minutes.

Walmart

Promising review: "This ice maker is great for additional ice making. It can fill up two 16-ounce glasses with one cycle; with just a couple of pieces left over. However, it does make ice fairly quickly. All in all, I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for additional ice capabilities or someone who just needs an ice maker." —amy

Price: $92.94 (originally $108 available in three colors)

24. A Mario Badescu facial spray to give you a hydrating pick-me-up and help revive your skin. It has a refreshing rose and thyme scent that will almost make you feel like you're in a spa.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is lovely as a refresher during the day, especially in summertime. Also, if your face is feeling dry or your neck, you just want a quick spritz of water or something depression up. It's not a heavy scent at all and it's really good for your skin and the price is awesome." —Bonnie

Price: $5.48
