Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera

Loved by millennials looking for a retro fix away from their smartphone, this Instax camera looks cool in a variety of different color options. Cobalt blue is cool because it sings of summers by the beach or at the pool bar. You’ll be snapping cool photos that convert to card-sized hard copies in a matter of seconds. With a built-in flash and exposure control, everything is done for you, so all you need to do is find friends, get them to strike poses, and shoot away.

Kindle Paperwhite E-reader


Amazon’s own E-Reader has plenty of competition in the form of smart phones, tablets and conventional books, but let’s focus on the positives: all your reading material in one safe and shiny place, encased in a waterproof shell. With a selection of color options, an extended battery life measured in weeks not hours and a new audible option, you’ll be reluctantly binning your beloved old paper-back collection before you head to the beach or pool.

VIFUUR Water Sports Unisex Shoes


These water shoes are available in many different patterns and colors. One of the best-selling products on Amazon, they’re constructed from super breathable and comfortable materials and stand out for their design quality as much as for their visual impact. There are lots of water sports shoes on the market (not to mention good old beach sandals) but VIFUUR win the day by being cool enough to wear to the shop, whilst also being suitable for yoga, cycling, and all water based activities

Bunch O Balloons Rapid Fill Water Balloons


Water balloon fights are the best fun you can have with your kids at the beach or home. Just a shame it takes so long to fill each balloon with water (while also trying to defend yourself). Now save yourself and your kids the hassle and time with this rapid-fill set that enables you to fill 100 balloons in less than sixty seconds from a garden hose or the tap.

Dracarys Unicorn Inflatable Ride-On


Pool floats – like the ocean and swimming pool – need to be big, and they don’t come much bigger than this unicorn inflatable. Heads are going to turn as you stroll up to the water carrying this equestrian/aquatic beauty. But more importantly, if you’re planning on spending time at the beach or pool side, you need something that’s big enough for a whole day’s fun. 

Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Styler


Free up hand space for that Kindle or ice cream. Just as importantly, free up baggage space and achieve the kind of stylish results you only thought possible with separate items, all in one practical, lightweight and affordable device.

Teckin Mini Smart Plug


The idea that your home appliances can be controlled remotely via your smartphone is not new, but with this mini smart plug such flexibility and power at-a-swipe becomes a straightforward and inexpensive way to run your home with the swipe of a finger. Also includes a useful feature that will randomly turn lights on and off throughout the day and night, so that when you’re away, your house is still lit to the max or minimum as you wish.

Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella

 

This umbrella is supposed to withstand powerful gusts of wind because of its nine resin-reinforced fiberglass ribs that flex slightly. Plus, it has a lifetime replacement guarantee — no wonder so many people have purchased it! Ultimately wherever you’re headed, you’re always wise to pack an umbrella. Easily forgotten because (let’s face it) brollies are cumbersome and fall apart in slight winds. Not this windproof model – designed with three chrome-plated shafts and mini-vents to withstand strong gusts, many think it’s the best product on the market. You certainly won’t want to let go of yours.

Haribo Original Goldbears Gummi Candy


The five-pound bag (yes, five pounds) contains enough chewy candy to keep your sweet tooth satisfied for a while. Perfect for car journeys, airport lounges or any between-meal activities, you’ll be hounded into sharing of course, and with five fruity flavours, these sugar free treats ensure there are plenty for all to enjoy.

Jabra Elite Active 75t Earbuds


For pure self-indulgence, these in-ear headphones (with built-in Alexa) are perfect for lounging or working-out in discrete but distinguished style. With a lengthy battery life and protection against dust and sweat, you can be confident in their durability in all situations too. Not a cheap pair of headphones, but the quality and style will be music to your ears!
