Nothing says “summer fun” like owning your own slushy machine.

I am a contributor and former editor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping since 2020, where I'm focused on everything from home decor to beauty to where to buy the world's most comfortable high heels.

Promising review: “Very nice sturdy loungers with thick cushions that keep their shape after seating. My husband put it together without my help. We got two of these, and they look very nice next to each other. Love the trays underneath as they come so in handy, eliminating the need for other little tables. We have them under patio shade, and we live in California, so I'm not sure how they would do in full sun. We have them covered in nice pocket beach towels, though! We would definitely recommend these loungers!” —Sandina

Price: $254.98+ (available in 14 colors/prints)

Promising review: “These chairs were a smoking hot deal, so of course we had to get four for our firepit area. They were extremely easy to put together. The required hardware was well organized, and the required tools were included. We love that they fold up for easy storage. Highly recommend these chairs.” —DLayne

Price: $116.97 (originally $189.99; available in 14 colors)

Promising review: "Love the style and quality for a great price." —Walmart Customer

Promising review: "I love this little cooler. Holds a 12-pack with no ice. The insert easily removes for cleaning. Made well. I can't say enough good things. I have a few very expensive coolers, but find myself grabbing this little lightweight guy to use 99% of the time." —Bex

Price: $32.44+ (available in two sizes and two colors)

Promising review: "Well made, sturdy." —Dot

Price: $79.99+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "This dress is amazing. The fabric, design, color, and fit are characteristics of dresses I have seen at much higher prices in designer stores. This one is certainly a keeper, and I absolutely love it." —MARIA

Price: $19.98 (originally $22.98; available in women's sizes XS–4X and six colors/prints; all colors not available in all sizes)

Promising review: "Best fan I have ever bought!! Love the flexibility of it, I can take it outside by the pool, or while I'm working in the garden. Either way, it's a great necessity in this South Carolina weather." —Donna

Promising review: "I know all the good slushy spots in my town. Now my kitchen is the best one. I poured my cold grape Kool-Aid in the machine and 30 mins later…. Taaadaaa! I’m gonna save so much money. I’ll use this more than any appliance I have now. Don’t hesitate, buy it!" —Tyhesha

Price: $249+ (originally $299; available in three colors)

Promising review: "I had a work event and bought this dress to wear. It was so comfortable throughout my entire 10-hour shift, and I never had to worry about bending or lifting. The material is also soft and not rough on the skin, which makes it even better to wear. 10/10 would recommend!" —Tina

Price: $24.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and four colors/prints)

Price: $36 (available in women's sizes 6—11 and three colors)

Promising review: "My pets love their new bed! With three big dogs, I went with the jumbo size, hoping that at least my Golden Retriever would fit. A pleasant surprise — all three fit on it at once! They cuddle up together and look so cozy!" —Bailey

Price: $37.39+ (available in four sizes and four colors, and also available in two other styles)

Promising review: "The color of the lights is so rich and beautiful." —Patricia

Promising review: "Very nice skirt for work." —Sharon

Price: $17.64 (originally $28; available in women's sizes XS—XXL and two colors)

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! The square neck design is super cute and gives it such a chic, stylish look while still being casual enough for everyday wear. The sleeveless cut makes it perfect for warm weather, and the material feels soft and comfortable against the skin. It's easy to dress up or keep it simple. It fits true to size and holds its shape beautifully. Definitely one of my new go-to pieces!" —Kristen

Price: $17.98 (originally $32.99; available in women's sizes S–2XL and 12 colors/prints)

Promising review: "Works great! It looks like a nice decorative light for any room. You cannot see which bugs have been trapped unless you unplug it. That way, visitors don’t see everything. It’s not too bright of a light, just enough of a blue light to light up an area." —ckwsp

Promising review: "This dress is so beautiful, and made with quality material! I would never guess this came from Walmart! You could dress it up or wear it with some sandals. I'm so excited to wear this out. It's absolutely SO GOOD!" —Bronte

Price: $10.70 (originally $16.98; available in women's sizes XXS–XXL and two prints)

Promising reviews: "I was skeptical when this first came out. The commercial said it was a whole-body deodorant. So I decided to give it a try. From day one, I was impressed. It really does what it says it does. It's a mild formula, so no irritation. You really can put it everywhere. It's been a game changer for me. Thanks. 😊" —sue

"I've always loved using lavender-scented products. The smell is fresh but relaxing, and it doesn't overpower your natural scent. This product can be used in multiple places where you get body odor and doesn't irritate my hypersensitive skin. I can go 2–3 days without reapplying it, and it still protects me from body odors. It is less expensive than products that need to be used every day. All in all, it's the only product I need aside from a good shower to keep body odor at bay. I highly recommend it, and Walmart has the lowest price I've found." —Linneaann

Promising review: "So I own two other pairs of these shorts in different colors, and I absolutely love them. The olive green is a great switch up, and if you're an alt gal, it pairs really well with a black t-shirt, a lil' bit of a granola goth vibe. I love the elastic waist and the little ties in the front. Does not feel like a sloppy or lazy outfit either. They honestly feel a lil' bit dressy if I'm honest. I got a lot of compliments on them when I wore them out with sandals and a T-shirt." —Amber

Price: $14.37+ (available in women's sizes 1X–5X and 19 colors/prints)

Promising review: "I absolutely love it. TV who? 😂 The sound, the quality, the picture, all of it is perfect. Highly recommend. About to buy all my family members one, plus it already had Netflix and YouTube, so all you really need is Wi-Fi/Hotspot, and you're good." —Rosa

Price: $44.99+ (available in two base types, two colors, and with or without voice control)

Promising review: "I have been enjoying movies outside with this portable screen. Easy to set up and provides a great experience!" —Nonickname

Promising review: "This dress is precious! Crisp cotton material and well-stitched hem. Nice stretch through bodice. I'm 5' 2” and like the above-knee length." —Walmart customer

Price: $16.80 (originally $28; available in women's sizes XS–XXL)

Promising review: "LOVE!! They are perfect for summer, they match everything, you can wear them with dresses and shorts — perfection" —Elisabeth

Price: $9.99 (originally $19.99; available in women's sizes 6–12 and four colors)

Promising review: "The best bottle I've bought yet. It keeps my water ice cold for a very long time. I love the interior straw; it makes me want to drink more water often. I love it!" —Nannypooh86

This game is recommended for ages 8+. When there's a match between a spoken word and a card, compete against other players to smack your hand into the middle where the pile of cards lies. The slowest player to smack takes the entire pile. The goal is to get rid of your hand of cards as quickly as possible.

Promising reviews: "I love this item!! It's a tad pricey, but I felt like it was worth it!! I bought it because we love the regular game, but we thought it would be awesome to play it on the edge of our in-ground pool!! I love that you can play this anywhere, even when sopping wet!! The ring is a little difficult to open, and I'm always afraid of messing it up, but I love the organizer ring and that it can loop around all the cards and my bog bag!! I truly wish there were a whole lot more games that were made waterproof and water-friendly!! 😍" —Walmart customer

"We had a blast playing one of our favorite games in the ocean, poolside at home, and also camping during the afternoon rain showers. Such a fun summer find!" —Lisa

Promising review: "I like the style of these so much, I just wish they had a high-waisted version! I got them in all the colors since the price is so good. I personally like to wear cropped tops though and feel weird about my belly button showing (LOL, definitely a me thing), but if you don't mind mid-rise, these are great." —Ashley

Price: $12.98 (available in women's sizes 00–20 and four washes)

Promising review: "I really like this chair. The seat and the armrests are comfortable. I really like the vented seat and back on hot days at the ball field. It is not heavy to carry. I had to move the chair a few times, and I used the attached strap. The cup holder held my big Brumate water bottle just fine." —JRog

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but had to share how well this product works for me. I normally have an extreme reaction to mosquito bites. Huge welts and blisters that scar and are irritated for weeks. I use this tool as soon as I see a bite. Suction a few times for about 20 seconds. Didn’t get a huge welt, no itching, and healed quickly. Such a relief not to suffer a horrible reaction. Highly recommend!!" —StephD

Price: $9.98 (also available in a two-pack)

Promising reviews: "This is my go-to for on-the-go sunscreen. I keep one in my trunk and use it when I hike with my dog. Great spray pattern; I can get it on my back myself. Love the smell. I'm forever a beachy girl. The sun is intense these days. Great way to protect yourself. Now you know. 😃" —Karen

"I bought several of these at the end of the season — super cheap! I am glad I did, not only to save $$$, but because it works really well. My kids are obsessed with spray sunscreen over lotion sunscreen, and this stuff smells really good too!" —Walmart customer

Promising review: “I bought four of these for stocking stuffers. One of them is for me. I never have a place to put trash, and this is ideal. It's small, and it fits in my door. Love it, and it holds a lot more than you would think." —Judy

Promising review: "If you're an iced coffee lover like me, you need this! Basically, no setup at all, really, once you pull it out of the box. I love that it's a single-serve and includes a tumbler to go with it for when you're on the go. Simple instructions on how to use. It has two buttons for iced or hot coffee. Love this product!" —Brittany
