Our idea of the perfect summer getaway? A refreshing beverage, a good book and one of these. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Have you ever tried a zero-gravity recliner? If so, you know what we're talking about when we say it feels heavenly. If not, you're in for a treat ... a timely treat, at that. Right about now, the birds and sunshine are beckoning us to join them outdoors. Ready to up your alfresco relaxation game? Best Choice Products Zero-Gravity Lounge Chairs are on sale for $100 a pair. That's right — $50 apiece for the ultimate in all-season chill.
Work can be stressful enough without having to endure a stuffy office. Keep cool this summer courtesy of this little (and, given that it's 6 inches tall, I do mean little) wonder that plugs right into your laptop — or any compatible device — via USB cable. It has multiple speeds to choose from, and it's so compact that you can even take it on the go. Oh yeah, and it's 40% off.
This might be the coolest (pun intended) gadget I've seen all year. No, misting devices are nothing new, but this one does triple duty as a pedestal and tabletop fan. It can be used indoors or outside, has up to an impressive 70-foot reach and can lower temps by as much as 12°. There are five speeds and two breeze modes to choose from, oscillating and tilting options ... in short, if you're looking to cool down this summer, you can't go wrong. Did I mention it just dipped to an all-time low price to boot?
If the thought of making ice cream at home is intimidating to you, these have your name on them. Really, they couldn't be easier to use — just make sure your mugs are frozen for at least 24 hours, then mix up your ice cream base (there's a recipe book included). Once your mugs are sufficiently chilled (you want them to be really cold), you'll add your base, turn 'em on and they'll start churning away. You can also add mix-ins of your choosing via the pour chutes while they're running, and in about 20 minutes, you'll have ice cream. Simple, right?
This duo rarely dips lower than this, so scoop 'em up for their lowest price in over a year.
Lying out on the deck or by the pool is about to get even more heavenly, thanks to these ergonomic chaises that'll make you feel like you're floating. The backs and footrests can be adjusted to your desired angle, and each chair includes a built-in tray with two cupholders. This $22 discount brings them to their best price in months.
Swimming in a pool? Fun. Cleaning a pool? Not fun. Let this aquatic robovac do a lot of the dirty work for you. It'll suck up dirt and debris at the bottom of the pool and run for up to 150 minutes before needing to be juiced up. It also comes with a hook so you can retrieve your new favorite gadget without getting wet, and this is its lowest price since, well, ever.
Is it even summer until you've had a cone of the cold stuff? Senior Home Writer Lisa Schweitzer had the arduous task of searching for the best ice cream scoops, and this popular pick made the cut. "This aluminum ice cream scoop has been around since 1935 and is a favorite among editors and professionals for its ability to scoop near-perfect orbs," she says. "The handle is filled with heat-conductive liquid that captures the warmth of your hand and flows down to the scoop to ensure easy ice cream scooping and releasing." (Psst: It's also the one used by frozen treat pros, including Tyler Malek, co-founder of Salt & Straw ice cream, and Christina Seid, owner of Chinatown Ice Cream Factory.)
Schweitzer did name it "best splurge ice cream scoop," so snag it while you can save a few bucks.
This lightweight fan is designed to wrap comfortably around your neck. Its tiny turbine blades quietly move air around your neck to keep you comfortable. The blades are housed in food-grade silicone, which provides maximum comfort and prevents sliding. It's already cooled off more than 8,000 Amazon shoppers.
"I work inside a big box store and the air conditioning isn't the coldest in some areas," a cool customer shared. "I used this fan and it is great! It had three different speeds. I did notice if I put it on high it didn't last my entire shift. On the lowest setting, it works great too and lasts a long time. I've had a lot of people stop and ask if it works and where I got it!"
This cushy comforter, which has tabs and can double as a duvet insert, was designed for all-season use, keeping you cozy yet cool during the warmer months and toasty come winter. Box stitching helps keep the fluffy filling evenly distributed.
At just $19 for a queen, this quilt is down to the best price we've seen, so grab it while it's over 55% off.

... laying on a sand-covered sheet probably isn't most people's idea of R&R. Luckily, this sand-resistant blanket exists. Made of a waterproof nylon material, it's easy to shake clean should any specks land on it, and it even comes with anchor stakes to help keep it in place. Plus, it folds down to fit into a compact storage pouch, making it a sand- and space-saver.
"This was the hit of my beach setup," praised a parent. "I have four kids and my husband and I, and there was still room. Just have to flick it, and the sands flies right off. ... One of my best buys this year."
At this price, grab one for you and one to give your favorite foodie as a gift.
This is just about as low as we've seen this duo marked down to in months, and given that summer is here, we don't expect them to dip much more (if at all) the rest of the season. Plus, lounging on one of these is much less expensive than booking a trip to a resort.
Zero-gravity chairs are designed to alleviate pressure on the body, including your back and joints. These recliners distribute your weight evenly and put your body in a neutral position, with your feet elevated and aligned with your heart. You'll experience a "weightless" sensation — that's the zero-gravity part — allowing for deeper relaxation and tension release.
They're made of flexible, weather-resistant textilene fabric, which will keep them looking good and protected against the elements. Plus, they're lightweight, making them a portable addition for any outdoor adventures. Choose from more than 25 colors, from pink to Peacock Blue — most are on sale. (Did somebody say "umbrella drink"?)
These zero-gravity wonders have over 46,000 five-star ratings, and it's not hard to see why.
One reviewer dubbed them "the Cadillac of chairs," adding, "These are the most comfortable beach chairs ever! Heavy duty, easy to fold, already put together, beautiful color and very comfortable! My husband is 6'2" and he is super comfy in his chair, and I like to push back and have my feet up off the sand, so it’s a win-win! Lived in Florida for 30 years, and this is by far the best chair ever!"
"This was my best buy of the year, I think," raved another. "Super comfortable for hanging around on the deck or in the yard. I have knee problems and I cannot get onto lower chairs ... these floating chairs have saved the day. They are solid and of good quality."
"I use them for the backyard when we have people over," said a third. "We take them camping as well. They recline pretty far, which is nice; sometimes I almost fall asleep. I like that you can screw the sides in to lock it in when reclined. The little table part is cool and can come in handy with the drink holder. They are easy to fold up and store away as well."
That said, some shoppers think the tray is a wee bit flimsy. "My husband really liked [the chair], only problem is that I can't get him to get out of it," wrote one. "The only reason I gave it four stars is because I do not like the trays. They feel unsteady. I would still buy these even if they didn't offer a tray with it."
"Good product," shared another. "The cup holder is a nice added feature, but it's flimsy and doesn't stay in place; it may need securing somehow."
