1. Cinderella Inc. Main Access Block Seat LED Cube
Cinderella Inc.
Trust me, your next party will be lit in more ways than one thanks to this multipurpose outdoor cube, and I'll tell you why. The 10-pound, 16-inch square block can be used as both a seat and as ambiance-setting decor, boasting a built-in LED light with 24 color options that can change the vibe of your backyard bash with a simple click of the included remote. The cube also floats in water, so if you have a pool, you can throw it in and watch the water turn from blue to purple and red to green. How long does its glowing magic last, you ask? The brand says, "Once it's at a 100 percent charge, [it] can illuminate your space with bright, fun colors all night for up to ten hours."
2. Wayfair Sleep Encased Cooling Pillow
Wayfair
Thanks to its AlwaysCool gel-infused memory foam encasement, along with shredded memory foam that's meant to contour to your head and neck, it's safe to say this isn't your ordinary cotton pillow. In fact, more than 16,000 happy buyers can attest to how amazing it really is. But this one reviewer sold me: "What you see when you unroll [the pillows] is nothing like the finished product. Once they do their magic, you will have beautifully full, thick pillows that at first seem a bit firm but are just keeping your head elevated to the correct height," they write. Now that it's on sale for under $25, you can bet I'm snagging this pillow in the standard, queen and king sizes, and you should, too.
3. Hey! Play! Solid Wood Croquet with Carrying Case
Hey! Play!
Up to six players can have a veritable croquet-a-thon with this colorful set of mallets, wire wickets and balls. Oh, and the set comes with a rule book in case there are some tough line calls. But why should you buy this set over other options? Besides the under-$50 price tag, the pieces are supposedly mold- and mildew-resistant, so if your kiddos forget to put them away after a game, no need to worry about them getting ruined in the rain. But here's why one reviewer is obsessed: "[It's a] nice wooden set! Just the game to play in the backyard with our grandsons! Outdoors, away from personal electronics and interacting between generations. I call that a success! Try it!" Oh, trust me, I will.
4. SouthShore Fine Linens Vilano Springs Quilt Set
SouthShore Fine Linens
This lightweight bedding set includes two pillow shams and a quilt in your choice of more than 20 versatile, calming colors. IMO, it's the perfect shortcut to a summer bedroom refresh because its high-end textured design is bound to fit any decor scheme. But are the microfiber pieces light enough for hot sleepers? Given that the set has racked up more than 19,000 5-star reviews, including a bunch that praise its breathability, I think it's safe to say it checks all the boxes. But don't just take my word for it. One buyer shares, "Nice, comfortable and breathable. Lightweight and works perfect for both my husband who gets hot at night and myself who is always cold." So it's a win for couples, too!
5. Three Posts Hartington Adirondack Chair
Three Posts
I'm not sure if I'm more excited about the deep discount or how many mornings I'll spend watching the sunset from this *foldable* chair. That's right—this super sleek plastic Adirondack chair folds down in under a minute for easy storage, so I don't think I have to convince you to add it to your cart. But just in case I do, all you need to know is that the weather-, water-, UV- and fade-resistant plastic material is absurdly long-lasting, per shoppers. Plus it looks great in every color (just take a peek through reviewers' photos), is easy to put together and is actually comfortable, buyers confirm.
6. Zipcode Design McDougal Market Umbrella
Zipcode Design
You’re probably going to be out in the yard a lot over the next couple of months, so trust me when I say this baby will come in handy when you're in need of some shade. No, seriously, nothing compares to this sleek, sun-blocking patio umbrella, and a quick scroll through more than 1,300 5-star reviews will make that crystal clear. But to put all that praise in a nutshell, this weather-resistant umbrella fits in most standard bases and has all the bells and whistles you want and need for days out in the yard, from a tilt function for precise shade to a crank lift to easily pull it up and down. And as far as sun blocking goes, it's got you covered with UPF 30. What more can you ask for—well, besides a cold drink to sip underneath it?
Looking for a cute and functional kitchen gadget? Look no further than this Dash air fryer, which coincidentally comes in five dashing colors that will pop on your countertop (including aqua, red, black, grey and white). I'm obsessed with the retro take on the modern appliance, which includes manual settings that let you go from air frying sweet potato fries to spicy chicken wings in a flash. But I'll let one buyer explain why it's a must-grab: "It works well and the temperature control makes this model worth it! The air fryer truly is compact and takes up less than the size of cook book flat on a countertop." That said, you can clear up some kitchen clutter and save money while you're at it.
8. Wayfair Sleep 12-Inch Pocket Spring Hybrid Mattress
Wayfair Sleep
Need a new bed? Same. And I have my eye on this hybrid mattress that's selling fast, and not just because it arrives in a box and expands at lightning speed. More importantly, it features layers of breathable, moisture-wicking memory foam combined with pocket spring coils for extra support and reduced motion transfer, per the brand. Plus, its topped with a breathable quilted fabric cover, which should help retain its freshness for a long time coming. Of course, I had to check the review section to see if this baby really delivers on sweet dreams and comfort, and let's just say I wasn't disappointed. "I’ve been sleeping like a baby and waking up without any aches or pains. Plus, the breathability of the materials keeps me cool all night long. If you’re hesitant about making the switch to a hybrid mattress, don’t be—it’s worth every cent," one buyer shares. Well, in that case, I'll take it!
9. Wade Logan Govan Portable Camping Hammock
Wade Logan
This portable hammock has a total length of 86 inches and a foldable steel frame that supports up to 300 pounds, so lounging for two is made easy from your backyard to the park. Yes, you read that right. According to reviewers, this rust-resistant hammock is so easy to assemble that you'll want to bring it with you to every outdoor outing. Don't believe me? Just take it from this buyer: "I'm a senior, and my hands are not as strong as they used to be. Setting this hammock up is very easy for me to do. It's lower to the ground than some, but that makes it safer for me to get out of. I just slowly roll over and stand up. It's not too heavy for me either. I can carry it to the camper or the yard without help." Al fresco naps await.
10. Wayfair Basics 1800 Series Sheet Set
Wayfair Basics
With more than 79,000 reviews, these sheets are a pretty safe bet to add to your cart. But just so you know, they’re made from a cool microfiber polyester material that one buyer says "feels so good after a long day." Another shares, "Not only is [the set] a great value for the price, but the fabric's sturdiness promises durability. It’s held up beautifully even after multiple washes, maintaining its crisp, clean look." So, really, the fact that the set (which comes with one or two pillowcases as well as a flat sheet and fitted sheet) is up for grabs in more than 20 colors for as low as $18 is the icing (or layer) on the cake.
11. Sol 72 Outdoor Parkhurst Outdoor Seating Group
Sol 72 Outdoor
Whoever said outdoor furniture doesn't work for small backyards wasn't hip to this three-piece rattan-wrapped set. With the longest pieces (the loveseat and chaise) measuring 55 inches wide and the table clocking in at 19.5 inches wide, you shouldn't have any trouble getting the set to fit in even the most compact spaces without it looking too clunky. You can actually set up the seating however you like to make the most of your space. Throw in the rust-resistant stainless-steel frames and included cushions with machine-washable covers, and you've got yourself the perfect outdoor lounging nook, no matter how sparse your square footage.
12. Magnolia Home By Joanna Gaines x Loloi Sinclair Area Rug
Magnolia Home By Joanna Gaines
A new area rug is the easiest way to refresh any room, and this power-loomed beauty with a purposely faded design is just the ticket. It's made of polyester that shoppers confirm feels *so* soft beneath their feet, and aside from its lived-in look, buyers love it for its thicker pile, which offers some cozy padding while still being super easy to clean. (However, you can totally throw it in the washing machine to make it look brand new.) "[I] cannot describe how soft this rug is. Nice neutral colors that go with everything and a busy, but somehow muted design that brings style and sophistication to the room," raves one reviewer. Need I say more? Perhaps I should remind you of the up to 68 percent discount, which won't be here forever.
