5. Spiked Drink Holders
If you’re a beach bum, these spiked drink holders are a must-have! Simply poke them into the sand to hold your drinks and other items to keep the sand off. They come in a pack of 6 for about $35– not bad!
6. Inflatable Serving Bar
I’m pretty sure this idea started with a small inflatable pool that was used as a large ice chest (brilliant!), only this inflatable serving bar is made in the perfect shape to fit on top of a table, and is made with a convenient drain valve for when you’re finished.
7. Flip & Float Pool Lounger
The beauty behind this pool lounger is that it never needs inflating! I’ve gone through too many pool floats that only last one summer to ever buy those cheap blow-up floats ever again. I like how you can use this one to lay down, lounge, or sit up in the water.
8. BBQ S’mores Maker
Because everything tastes better on the grill! You can also use this BBQ S’mores Maker in the oven or even toaster oven. Now you don’t have to wait to have a campfire to enjoy the ooey gooey mess.
9. Floating Ping Pong Table
Just when you thought ping pong couldn’t get any better– now you can play it in the pool! The board seems quite a bit smaller than a traditional table, so it would take some time to get use to, but I’m up for the challenge. You can also use this floating ping pong table out of the water in the colder months.
10. Watermelon Keg Kit
A summer party isn’t complete without a watermelon keg! This kit makes it easy to turn a hollowed out watermelon or pumpkin into a drink dispenser for punch or cocktails. Now, all you have to do is find a watermelon with a flat enough bottom to stand on it’s own.
11. Wine2Go
This is obviously the most amazing invention since the light bulb. I can think of at least a dozen times when this would have been a game changer– tailgating, camping, concerts, tubing, picnics, etc. It fits an entire bottle of wine, but works for other drinks, too. Pick up a few here on Amazon.
12. The Comfiest Way To Lounge
These patio lounge chairs are comfy, modern and made for the outdoors! They’re versatile enough to not only be the comfiest way to layout by pool all day, but you can also use them on the patio as extra seating during an evening barbeque, summer movie or summertime campfire. Check them out here.
13. Waterproof Pool Speakers
Keep the music close and party going with these waterproof speakers that hook up to any bluetooth device. They float in water while keeping the speaker above water– who comes up with this stuff?! And, the reviews seem to be pretty good as far as the sound quality goes.
14. Iced Party Platters
Although simple in design, this 2 piece set of iced platters is the smartest way to keep food chilled while outside in the summer heat. Perfect for entertaining! They also make something similar to this but in a bowl form for dips, pasta salads, etc.
