Personal shopping I might be doing!
hoping my boys never see these in real life lol
LEGO® Masterbrand Creativity Clog
Sure, there are cheaper options for the small BT speaker but my suggestion, for a little more money you get: waterproof, 12+ hr charge, USB-C, and a strong carabiner from a top name brand. Personally, it could be half the price and if it is micro-USB...
JBL Clip 5 Portable Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker : USB-C Connection, IP67 Rating
A great option if you are trying to reduce the use of platic utensils. Easy to throw these in with the camp kitchenware.
Ikea stainless steel Spork - dark gray 7 ½ "
My favorite summer cap (really year round). It's comfortable, lightweight, breathable…lots of color options, adjustable strap in G1000 (no plastic), and it's water repellant.

Both my wife and I got one of these last summer and it became an immediate essential
Topo Designs Sun Hoodie - Women's
Definitely my new favorite waterbottle for the gym.

The Vitalize™ Carry-All
A portable but durable chair that you can throw in the trunk for pretty much any time, any day, beach, backyard, sports field etc. Cool design if you're into Stranger Things.

My 9 yo is going through a camo phase and loves taking this to the pool/beach.
Nomadix quick-dry Towel: Camo Green
This bag now comes in 20L as well as 24L and while it's not packable, there's something about 20L being close to perfect for a daypack, not too small but no trying to be one-bag travel or fit every single textbook you have for your course load.
Aer City Pack Pro 2 Ultra 20L (new smaller size)
Convenient to have on hand. Sometimes the kids will throw some pool toys in it or I'll store the googles in there.
Sea to Summit Mesh Stuff Sack 13L
New release that has a more cushioned and slightly thicker footbed but with the same vibram soles. Will be purchasing soon.

Waterproof phone pouch

Apparently all of the kids' friends got Owala bottles this year so they needed one of their own as well. Fortunately lots of color options and they're staying hydrated so…highly recommend.
Owala 24oz Stainless Steel FreeSip Water Bottle - In Good Company
These are great evening and weekend casual slip ons for wearing around the house or errands in town.
Teva Hurricane Daybreaker Slip On
Just ordered these and can't wait to try out. Side sleeper friendly, all-night comfort, carrying case and different size ear tips. I own a couple other items from Ostrich and really happy with those purchases.

Love the colorway and so comfortable I could wear these all day at the campsite or cabin.

I've been really happy with the CORE brand (we own a tent and other things) - reasonably priced, durable so far, and good color options.
CORE: CLIMAKEEP Magnetic 24 Can Backpack Soft Cooler
The lowlands small is back! Waterproof, built like a tank, repels dirt and pet hair, machine wachable…it's basically the best all-terrain blanket out there, and now in a smaller size.
Yeti Lowlands® Blanket Small
I've ditched the single sleeping bag because usually one of the kids ends up next to me but I might get this to try out. Again, CORE comes out with a reasonably priced solution

Lake, pool, beach…going to be using this all summer.

The voice control on this spotlight is definitely an intriguing feature I want to try out.

We recently added these at the cabin and liked that they were weather-proof, folding, lots of color options, and reasonably priced.

Not a new release but Ikea just released some new speakers and this is still my favorite and has been such a good value.
Ikea VAPPEBY Bluetooth speaker lamp - outdoor/blue
I generally prefer USB-C rechargable but in an emergency situation (storm etc) light is valuable and never hurts to have a few battery options.
Nite Ize Radiant™ RL1™ Lantern
Legendary and useful
Stanley Classic Legendary Useful Box
