Promising review: "Was looking for something to keep us busy and cool in our backyard. This is incredible, and my son (20 months) absolutely loves it! There's so much to keep us busy, from the ball toss to the misting slide. I even laid on it to sunbathe, and it was comfortable, lol. Really excited to use this for the summer and have people over to enjoy it with us!! If you’re on the fence, let this be your sign to buy! ☀️" —Ashley Edberg

If you want to add lights to really make it a ~vibe~ like this reviewer, here's what they used or a budget-friendly alternative!

Pop-A-Shot is a small biz that creates a variety of basketball arcade games for the home.

Promising review: "Holy moly — I’m not sure who uses this more, our 7-year-old or us parents trying to have a showdown. The kids absolutely love it, but so do we. It’s turned into a go-to for family competitions and friendly trash talk. There are 10 different game options, which is awesome because it works for everything from single-player practice to full-on family tournaments. It keeps our 7-year-old entertained, burns energy, and actually brings everyone together. We did go ahead and purchase more balls separately. It comes with four, but we bought three extra. Such a fun addition to our home and totally worth it!" —Kelly W

Get it from Amazon for $229.99 (available in black or blue).

It also has wheels and a built-in handle for easy transport!

Promising review: "Unbelievable, outstanding speakers. I bought this speaker for a party, and it now resides in my garage. Sound is Unbelievable, with not overpowering bass; it sounds great. Yes, it does have a boost for bass. The lights on the front look great. Easy function buttons. Easy to connect to my phone with Bluetooth. I'm actually thinking about buying another one for more surround sound." —Yorkb101

It can hold up to 156 gallons of water and is made from a durable vinyl, which means this baby was built to last.

Promising review: "Easy to manage and set up. Great size for relaxing and cooling off when it’s just so hot. The shape is nice, and the bench is what really made me want this. Game changer. It’s super comfortable and relaxing for bird watching in my backyard. Very happy with this pool and if you just want to relax and cool off, that’s what we use it for." —Sassy PantZ

Promising review: This pool is easy to set up and has stood the test of time! It's big enough to fit 4–5 kids and is a great value for summer fun! With the addition of a small pump, chlorine floater, and skimmer, it's easy to maintain the functionality of this pool." —Crystal

Psst — This works for both above-ground and in-ground pools!

Promising reviews: "We tried another brand, but it didn't work well. So we looked carefully at the reviews, and this product stood out with high reviews. We highly recommend this product. Very easy to install. Took about five minutes. You can adjust the water pressure, giving you the amount and distance of water spray optimal for your pool. Sounds great, similar to a fountain. Build quality seems to be very good." —David LaDue

"Love this pool fountain! Our neighbor cut down a tree that shaded our above-ground pool in the mornings, so the water was getting too hot. We bought this fountain, attached it (easily), and turned it on. By the next afternoon, there was a noticeable difference in the pool temperature. It works great! Also, it keeps the water moving, which keeps my pool cleaner." —Robin Roberts

Promising review: "The 8-foot artificial palm trees exceeded my expectations. Definitely worth the price for a set of two palm trees. They were extremely easy to assemble, and the palm fronds could be shaped for a realistic look. I placed them in large planters around my patio to give a Mediterranean vibe." —Kindle Customer

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $92.99+ (available in four sizes). 

The sturdy steel stand measures 9 feet wide, and the hammock cloth stretches over 10 feet — enough to fit two adults.

Promising review: "I can't express how much I love this thing. It's super easy to collapse and travel with, and can easily support two people. It's super comfortable and pretty sturdy. Overall, would highly recommend." —Wes Allen

Get it from Amazon for $124.99+ (available in three fabric types and in 31 colors).

It can hold up to 500 pounds and has anti-slip grooves on both sides to keep the rope from sliding side to side.

Promising review: "This is absolutely wonderful! Our whole family loves this swing chair. It is on our deck outside. The fabric is nice and sturdy, it feels wonderful, and it holds to the ceiling very well. My sister loved the chair so much that she bought one for herself." —Amazon Customer

Get from Amazon for $37.98+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "You don't understand — TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+ year-old woman, I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it was haunting me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood, I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his Xbox microphone. This is a must-have product." —Zane A. Undercoffer

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 14 colors).

Sugar is essential for this machine to get that proper slushy consistency. Some popular sugar-free alternatives might not work. So, make sure to check out the included recipe book to see what sugar-free options will work best for your dietary and taste needs.

But if you're looking to have more budget-friendly slushies, you can grab this more affordable option starting at $34.99!

Promising review: "This thing simply works! Dump fruit juice or other beverage in, and 30 minutes to an hour later, you are dispensing perfect slush. Margaritas are restaurant-perfect. Be aware that your base juice has to have enough sugar — natural or otherwise — in it to support slushing without freezing. The machine lets you know if more sugar is needed. Most fruit juices work as is. Diet drinks or lemonade sweetened with stevia, for instance, will not work. Tons of recipes are available online for this machine, so you can find alternatives to suit almost any diet. Our grandkids now expect slushies every time they come over, so this machine gets daily use. Cleanup is easy. Well worth the money." —Chris

Promising review: "Was looking for cute and chic margarita glasses. I thought I wanted the traditional stemmed ones, but came across these and oh my gosh, they’re even cuter in person! They’re ribbed, lead free, easy to hold, durable, and have the perfect gold rim to set them off! I’m so excited for these, and if you’re in the market for some stylish new margarita glasses, these are for you!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available with or without the gold rim, and in a set of four).

Bonus: This projector effortlessly integrates with popular TV sticks like Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, and more. But you can also use your smartphone or a tablet with an HDMI cord and an adaptor (not included).

Promising review: "This is probably the best projector you can get for the price range. The picture quality is amazing. I mean, I was able to play some games, and I loved how it looked — truly a 1080p projector. The Bluetooth is another plus, as it allows for easy connectivity and a more convenient experience. I would say that for its size, it's pretty portable; I'll be taking it to my college dorm room for a summer program. I would definitely recommend this projector for anyone looking for something inexpensive and made with quality in mind." —Yadrel

Get it from Amazon for $84.97+ (also available with a Google TV system).

These loungers are not only serving comfort with 2.3-inch thick sponge cushions, but they are serving angles, hunny — five different reclining angles, to be exact. If you look up versatility in the dictionary, you'll def see a photo of these chairs.

Promising reviews: "Very comfy and very nice looking. They look expensive. I have had them both out by the pool all last summer and through the winter. I did not use the covers like I should have, BUT they still look brand new! Material is nice and easy to clean. Thankfully, it is not the plastic-feeling material." —Kindle Customer 

"Great price for two chairs. Simple instructions. Beware of the tray on the side! People complain about not being straight, which is a problem we had as well. You have to remove the original hinges on the lounge chair and turn them upside down. This will set the tray about 1 inch lower and flush with the body of the lounge chair. Now you can easily hook the metal hook under the tray, and the tray is straight." —michele ramos

Get it from Amazon for $299.99 (available in four colors).

Just remember that these are NOT solar. If solar is more of your vibe, here are some cute solar mason jar lights to check out! And while these string lights are dimmable, a dimmer is not included — so, here's a dimmer for you to consider!

Promising review: "These string lights are beautiful! They were easy to set up and instantly created a warm, cozy atmosphere on my patio. I love that they’re waterproof and durable, so I don’t have to worry about the weather. The plastic bulbs look just like glass but are much safer and more practical outdoors. Also, having an extra spare bulb included was a nice touch." —Ysantiago

Get a 29-foot string from Amazon for $15.78+ (available in seven lengths, in black or white cable and with white or multicolor lights).

Promising review: "Absolutely love this! I set it up on my front porch. When I came out after it was dark, when it had absorbed the sun, it was beautiful, and cast the shapes of hummingbirds on the ground. It’s the perfect size, shape, and brightness. I think it would also look really nice mounted on a stand-out in the garden! I recommend setting it out in an area that gets at least six hours of sun for the best brightness and lasting light at nighttime." —Cassidy Low

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six designs and also in packs of two and four).

The blue fire glass is also included! But if that's not your style, make sure to check out all of your color options here.

Promising review: "My favorite purchase for our deck. I LOVE this fire table. It's a good size and great value compared to what is out there. Packaged nicely. My husband put it together alone in 30–45 minutes with no frustration and easy-to-follow directions. Puts out a decent amount of heat. Enough rocks to adequately cover. Just add your propane tank. I love that it has a lid as well. You will find sturdier fire tables, but not at this price. Excellent value." —Bellium

Get it from Amazon for $209.99 (available in four variations).

It's made of thick, durable steel and covered with rust-resistant, high-temperature paint.

Promising review: "Got this as part of our backyard renovation project. Shipping was super fast, received it earlier than expected. Large firepit, super easy to assemble. It’s a sturdy piece! I read the reviews and decided to take some precautions — we drilled three drain holes at the base, fast and easy to do. We also bought a cover just in case. Used it the same day during a chilly NC night to watch an outdoor movie with friends and blankets in the backyard. Worked amazingly and kept us toasty. Love the cutouts! Friends asked where we got it all night. Would recommend to anyone!" —Isabel

Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e., cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable and made very well!! It only took my hubby and me 25–30 minutes to put it together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in 14 colors and with or without a reading light).

Bonus: It also doubles as a pool float, and there are sizes big enough to fit you and your bestie! A large, which is their smallest size, measures about 5.9 feet long and 4 feet wide.

Promising review: "I just got this summer essential, and I’m impressed! The built-in headrest and ribbed cushion make lounging ultra-comfy, and the cup holder is perfect for sipping while soaking up the sun. You can fill it with water to stay cool or use it as a dry float — it’s versatile and fun whether you have a pool or not! It has a durable build with thick, non‑phthalate vinyl that's easy to clean. It's a great size — spacious enough for lounging, with a 500-pound capacity. It's perfect for tanning, chilling with a drink, reading poolside — even if you don’t own a pool." —LS

Get it from Amazon for $28.97+ (available in six colors and three sizes).

And check out these glow-in-the-dark golf balls for some nighttime fun!

Promising review: "I'm not a golfer, but I like to putt. When I ordered it, I didn't think this not-so-little course would be so nice. It's well-made, unrolled flat with no wrinkles, and functions as anticipated. It can be set up to be challenging or easy. We have it incorporated into our landscaping in full Florida sun and weather (rain), and it's holding up very well (no fading yet and drains well). It's durable as our cat likes to use it to sharpen his claws." —Scott and Lisa

Get it from Amazon for $219.99+ (available in three sizes and styles).

We've been seeing people's pets enjoying these all over TikTok, but it was specifically designed for kids ages 3–8 and can hold up to 85 pounds.

Promising review: "Finally, a throne fit for my little royals! This toddler lounge chair has become an instant hit in our household. Its plush cushions provide the perfect cozy spot for my little one to relax, read, or even take a quick nap. The sturdy construction ensures durability, withstanding all the bouncing and playtime antics. Plus, its adorable design adds a touch of charm to any room. A must-have for any pint-sized monarch in training!" —Brittany

It measures out to 44 by 26 inches — perfect for people from 4 to 6 feet in height — and can support up to 250 pounds.

Promising review: "This pool float can be used in a multitude of manners. My favorite is to use it for lounging, with one pillow behind the neck, and the other under the knees, in a hammock fashion. Easy to inflate, well made, inexpensive, easy to deflate and store, and very comfortable for sunning in pool!" —Steve

Get it from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in single, double, or triple packs or in a double hammock).

It's 40 inches wide and also crafted from weather-resistant fabric. So, it's built to handle all seasons!

Promising review: "We've had this swing hanging in our tree out back for two years now. Our kids, and their friends, LOVE it. I love that it's large enough to accommodate a number of kids/people, and that it's held up so well over time. Would totally recommend." —Krystal

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in three variations).

Promising review: "This thing is great and perfect to start off the spring/summer. We dumped a giant bag of ice in there and kept our drinks cold all afternoon. The swivel top is convenient and fun. Love that it’s a table and an aesthetically pleasing cooler." —Shana

Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in four colors, with either a smooth or fluted surface and in a two-pack).

Promising review: "These playing cards are a HIT. I take them out with me for social events and when visiting people, even to the beach. We just play and play. So you can get them wet, and they won't soggy up and tear. It just becomes a little hard to shuffle. It is so cool that they look like you can see right straight through them, but you can't." —Tabitha
