Summer is upon us, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. There’s plenty of work to be done, but there’s plenty of play as well. These hotter months mean more chances for fun in the pool, BBQs to show off your grilling skills and hopefully a chance or two to travel and just get away from the weight of the world and just breathe. We’ve found 10 of the best summer essentials that can make this summer a breeze.

Anker PowerCore 10000 Portable Charger

Easily deflate it and fold the 84-inch lounger into a compact square — a must-have for a day at the beach or park.

The Kizen Digital Meat Thermometer

ByRiver Acupressure Foot Massage Slippers

For men with flat feet, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and general foot pain at the end of the day, these slippers are a lifesaver. They’re made with 41 adjustable acupressure points that work to improve blood circulation and reduce stress. These slides are an easy way to relax and activate your feet anytime, especially after working long hours, hiking, or walking around the amusement park with the family. Plan ahead and buy these early though; when you first start wearing them, you may experience pain because the massage knobs are stretching the tense soles of your feet. It takes 1-2 weeks to get used to it gradually.
