Ninja FrostVault

This is so much more than just a cooler. You can control the temp and it has a cold dry zone in the bottom that is totally separate for putting things like fruit and salads that you want to keep cold but not wet. It’s super high quality and it comes in multiple colors like a really fun pink that would be perfect for the summer and camping!

If anyone would like to buy me a gift, this would be a pretty great one.

Watermelon Ball

My husband grew up trying to get an actual watermelon across the pool where he lived in Texas. This is way better because it’s the same concept (and super fun) but just a ball that looks like a watermelon. It’s so much harder than it looks, which is what makes it so fun!

Fire Starters

No need to toss pieces of paper into the fire when you have these. I’m kidding but just sort of. These fire starters are cheaper than I’ve seen them in a long time and they work so well for starting cooking fires, camping fires, and more. They’re great for all of those summer fires I know you’ll be making!

Kubb Yard Game

This is honestly one of my favorite outdoor games because everyone can honestly play. It’s tossing blocks to score points and just a lot of fun. And it’s over half off so the perfect time to add it to your outdoor game collection for the summer!

Reusable Water Balloons

These have changed water balloon fights completely! They can be refilled over and over again and still deliver a great splash. We bought some a few years ago and still use them every single summer!

Ladder Toss

This is surprisingly my oldest son’s favorite outdoor game. Every time we see it at a pumpkin patch or outdoor park, we play forever. I’m sure there are a lot of people that are skilled at this one but I’ve found that my kids can beat me just as often as I beat them, making it a fun one for any age or situation. Plus, it’s super easy to setup and learn!

Flamingo Cooler

I’ve seen a lot of inflatable coolers like this but never one that makes me want to buy it so much as this fun flamingo. It holds quite a bit and is just a great addition to most summer parties!

Hawaiian Shaved Ice Maker

My boys are obsessed with snow cones, shaved ice, whatever you call it. This one lets us make them at home, and they’re actually fantastic. All you need is ice and then you can coat them with whatever syrup you want! This is a great deal on one of the original shaved ice makers!

Spike Ball

Easily my favorite outdoor game. I play Spikeball with my siblings all the time at my parents house and every time, it feels like anyone could win. It’s one of those outdoor games I recommend everyone have because it’s fun but also can be a great workout (while still having fun). It also makes a fantastic gift so getting it on sale is a great choice!

Meat Blanket

Yes, meat blankets are a thing. And they’re just the thing to keep all the juices inside that perfectly cooked barbecue brisket or ribs or whatever you cooked. I know a ton of people who swear by them and the price on this one is so good, it’s worth trying if you haven’t yet. It can be a game-changer for BBQ flavor, and I should know since Kansas City is known for its barbecue!

Easy to Fly Kites

These kites are so much fun. We got them for our boys and unlike the kites that so often fall apart, these ones are high-quality and work really well, even for kids who aren’t great with kites. We take them to the park regularly and my kids actually enjoy kite flying again!

They also come with a velcro carrying case so you can just toss them in the car and keep them there for when you need something to do on a fun day!

Ice Cream Holder

If you want to keep your ice cream from melting while you eat it in the hot summer sun, this is a must-have. I bought this one for myself and have been enjoying pints of ice cream in the sunshine all summer long. I’m kind of obsessed. You could even use this for serving up ice cream at a party and keeping it cool while the kids are playing. It keeps ice cream cold for up to four hours, plenty of time to play!

Folding Adirondack Chairs

They’re the quintessential summer chair. And they fold to store when you’re not using them. And they’re like half off right now so it seems like a crime to not get them, unless you don’t like sitting in Adirondack chairs and enjoying perfect summer days.

Slim Ice Packs

These are pretty much the perfect ice packs for snackle boxes, lunch boxes, cooler packs, and more. It comes with a four pack and they are slim enough that you can actually put them all around your food to keep it cold. So much better than the bulky ones that most people have!

Mosquito Bracelets

I’m one of those people who have mosquito blood and we have a lot of mosquitos. I just bought these on sale because I’ll do anything to get rid of those buggers, seriously. These are essential oil infused bracelets that people swear work great.

Adventure Challenge Books

There are a number of different options for these but the basic idea is that they have a ton of fun ideas for things to do but they’re all a mystery. You choose one in the book based on the name, cost, and amount of time then scratch it off to find your activity.

We actually have three different books – the family adventure challenge, the couples adventure challenge, and the kids adventure challenge (designed to be things they can do on their own). Love them all!

They’re all 30% off right now and the lowest price I’ve seen since Black Friday!

Color Stack Challenge

This game is going viral all over social media for a reason. It’s simple to learn, simple to play, and more fun than it has any right to be. And it’s on sale for the cheapest I’ve seen it right now – definitely one to grab!

Games Against Prythian

If you’re a fan of the ACOTAR series, this romantasy themed version of Games Against Humanity is for you. It would be perfect for a book club when the next books come out later this year and in 2027! Also makes a great gift for a ACOTAR lover – just a heads up, like the series, this is recommended for adults.

Lyrically Correct

This is another one I grabbed because I saw people playing it on social media and it looked so fun. And it is that fun! Someone reads the question on the card having to do with a popular lyric and you have to figure it out! I love the 90’s and 2000’s pop music version (the one linked below) but they also have a 80’s Mixtape, 90’s Hip Hop, a 60’s and 70’s pack, and even a Gospel edition that look fun too!

Pop-Up Mario Game

Another simple game that’s actually super fun for the kids. Everyone takes turns putting coins into the pipe trying not to be the one who makes Mario pop. It’s always a surprise when he’ll pop and my boys love it. We have a pop the pirate game too where you put cutlasses into a ship but Mario is more themed and fun!

Hunt a Killer game

If you like escape games or true crime podcasts or just solving mysteries, these Hunt a Killer games are awesome. There are a bunch of different ones for more than half off, and they all have a different mystery to solve. My husband and I do these for at-home date nights, they’re super fun!

Double Sided Dart Game

This simple dart game is great for indoor or outdoor play. There are four different colors of velcro balls that stick great, making it a fun one for some friendly family competition. It’s light enough you can just hang it pretty much anywhere and unlike a bunch of other dart games, the balls actually stick easily!

Dot Art Markers

You can use these as bingo markers for bingo games or just them for fun art for the kids. My boys love them and this particular pack comes with a ton of colors plus some coloring books where all they have to do is add dots!

These also make fantastic gifts for elementary school teachers who use these all the time!

Travel Magnetic Tiles

We take these everywhere we go. They’re like the regular size magnetic tiles but smaller and fit into a little travel case. We use them for something to do while we’re waiting for dinner, in airports, in lines, and pretty much anywhere. Each pack comes with enough to build something without being overwhelming. They have a bunch of different sets on sale right now.

Animal Sticker Book

These are some of the biggest sticker books I’ve ever seen with over 500 stickers to add and tons of different scenes and pages to fill up. I know my boys loved these when they were younger. They’re perfect for when you travel, something to do at dinner, or just things to do on at home. This is the animal one but there are a ton of different options like dinosaurs, mermaids, and more!

Paint by Sticker Books

If your kids are up for a bit more of a challenge than putting down stickers, these paint by sticker books are fantastic too. There are tons of different designs and each of the stickers combined turns into what looks like a painted picture!

My oldest loved doing these when he was younger, and I still keep them around for when they get bored now!

Over the Door Basketball Hoop

This deal is so good I had to share it. Plus, my son has one and it’s maybe the thing that he uses the most in our house. We have it hanging up in the playroom and so many basketball games going on.

This one is super easy to just hang over the door and the games can start. This would also be a fun one to keep for a gift exchange game later in the year because these are also great for offices!

Splendor

When I asked my Instagram audience for their favorite board games, Splendor was one of the most popular board games on the list for good reason. It’s one of our favorites too because it’s strategy but simple strategy that most older kids, teens, and adults can play. You’re playing cards, collecting coins, and trying to outplay each other.

Creature Crash

Don’t let the capybaras crash in this simple balancing game. It seems simple – you’re just adding capybaras but you have to balance them as you go. And it’s actually harder than it seems.

The game is cute, fun, and my boys love it! Oh and it’s almost 40% off right now, making it under $10!

Monopoly Scrabble

I’d never even seen this game until I started looking through Prime Day deals but after seeing it, I had to order it. It combines Scrabble and Monopoly in one game. The best part? You still get to play both games but they’re both way faster! It’s actually super clever, fun, and one I’d recommend for fans of either game.

Osmo Starter Kit

My kids played with their Osmo for years. It combines a tablet with actual interactive elements like there’s a Hot Wheels one that uses actual cars and tracks, a pizza shop with actual pizza pieces, and more. If you’ve seen the new Toy Story 5 movie, it’s kind of the magical combination of devices and playing that we need these days. And this is the cheapest I’ve seen it in a while!

Kanoodle Game

This 3D brain teaser game is a combination of a puzzle, a problem solving activity, and a logic toy. If you like the game Blockus, you’ll love this Kanoodle game. It’s one we have in our fidget bucket so when the boys need something to do that’s not a screen, they pick this one up regularly!

Wheel of Fortune Game

This is another really fun handheld game you can play with people or just play on your own. If you like the game show Wheel of Fortune, this one is super fun. I bought one for myself and got a little addicted when I started. It’s easy to come up with phrases when you’re not playing but coming up with them on the spot is so much harder than you think!

My parents have an electric game table and Wheel of Fortune is one of our favorites to play, so I know this would make a fun gift too!

Ninja Slushi

Easily one of the best purchases for parties I’ve made in the past year. We use the Ninja Slushi to make frozen drinks pretty much every time my family comes over, every time I have, or every time my kids say they want a slushy. It’s 40% off right now and cheaper than I’ve seen it in a long time so if you’ve wanted one, now is the time to get it.

Cooling Containers

Keep fruit, salads, dips, and more cold with this chilling tray. It comes with enough containers that you can actually serve up some variety and is great at keeping those things cold, even in the hot summer sun. Plus, lids!

Bingo Game

If you play bingo, this is a must-have. We have one that we’ve used for years for our big Christmas Eve bingo game and it’s great. Just make sure you don’t lose the balls.

It’s even better if you grab these wood bingo cards to go with it. Makes bingo so much easier if you play regularly!

Multi Tiered Stand

Stick with me on this one. I know it’s Halloween but imagine this with treats of all kinds in the different places. Or treats on some of the tiers and decorations on other tiers. I love how many different tiers there are and how many different ways you could use this, other than just Halloween!

Double Drink Dispenser

You probably already have a drink dispenser but even if you do, this double one is great because it comes with two matching dispensers and a stand. So you can have water and lemonade and get it off your table. That way no one has to put it on the very edge of the table and it keeps it out of the reach of the smallest hands that you probably don’t want pouring their own drinks.

Fitted Tablecloths

These come in so many colors – I recommend grabbing a couple of neutrals – and make a party table look so much nicer than a tablecloth blowing around in the wind. They fit perfectly, just make sure you get the right size for your table!

Shark Robo Vacuum

This is under party supplies because I sure wish I had someone cleaning while I was setting up, would make my life much easier! This was the best deal I could find on a highly rated robot vacuum and everything else Shark I’ve used has been fantastic. It also self empties so that’s awesome.

Fly Fans

We first found out about these on our trip to Key West last summer. I had no idea what they were when we first sat down but then immediately noticed that they were keeping the flies away from the table (and there were flies everywhere). I use these on food tables and put one or two on party tables when I don’t think the kids will play with them at least.

4-Tier Basket

Some people use this for fruit. I use it for parties and put in things I want accessible to my guests. In the summer it’s often sunscreen, buy spray, and towels. In the fall it’s blankets. There are a couple of different designs but either is neutral enough you could use it for any party. I always find a way to use it!

3-Tier Serving Tray

I have a similar one with white ceramic plates that I use regularly but sometimes you just want something that feels a bit more natural. This tray is that. It’s perfect for outdoor parties, girls night, baby showers, and more. It feels a bit more rustic, natural, and trendy than the plain white ones. I use it regularly!

Ninja Creami

If you like ice cream and smoothies, the Ninja Creami will be your new best friend. You just put things in it and minutes later you have ice cream, slushies, and more. A couple of my friends swear by theirs. I have the Ninja Slushi so haven’t been able to pull the trigger on getting a Creami, but this is a great price if you’ve been looking at one!

Large Serving Platter

I know this one isn’t very exciting but it’s a great price on something I use all the time! It’s a large, white, oval platter that’s perfect for charcuterie boards, salads, dinners, and pretty much serving anything. It’s classic but so useful – I have one and use it for so many different things!

Mini Charcuterie Boxes

These are so fun for parties, especially girls nights! Instead of doing a large charcuterie board, do little mini ones in these boxes. Or you could also just fill them with little treats or other appetizers.

People love mini things they can take with them and these little boxes are a fun way to do that!

Colored Bowls

I got a set of these a few months ago and use them all the time. They make great serving bowls, mixing bowls, and even play bowls for my kids when they want to mix up science experiments. They’re dishwasher safe and a really good size – like Goldilocks size, not too big and not too small!

Smash Burger Press

I’m going to be the one to say that I’m a burger snob where I really only like smash burgers these days. This press makes it simple to make perfect smash burgers on the grill. It has a wood handle that doesn’t get hot so you can actually hold onto it without burning your fingers and you don’t have to figure out which random pan or lid you’re going to use to press down the burgers!

If you’re a grilling family, this one is a must-have.

Wood Cake Stand

Three reasons I love this. First, it’s wood, which like I explained about the tier trays feels trendy, natural, and just more rustic – making it great for baby showers, girls nights, outdoor parties, and more. Second, it’s low to the table so it can still be beautiful without needing to be the center of attention. And third, it comes with a glass case so you can save the cake for later. And that’s important.

Glass Drink Pitcher

There are a few pieces that I think everyone should have that are higher quality and a nice drink pitcher is one of them. Add a fresh homemade lemonade or other signature drink, add it to a party table, and it can totally change the look of the table. This one is Mikasa, way cheaper than I’ve seen it, and has a gorgeous design that would go with any party you’re hosting. Oh and it also has a great spout so you can actually pour the drink without all the ice falling out, something you don’t realize is important until it happens.

Folding Tray

This one is called a breakfast in bed tray but I’ll be honest, I’ve never used it to eat breakfast in bed. I have however used it to eat movie night snacks on the couch, date night dessert again on the couch, and dinner in bed while binge watching TV shows on Mother’s Day. Oh and my uses it to take lunch down to eat while he plays video games regularly. Whatever you want to use it for, it’s great.

Mushroom Charcuterie Board

Does it get any cuter than mushrooms? They’re super in right now for good reason and this board is so fun. If you’re not into mushrooms, they also have other designs like a Christmas Tree, pumpkin, fish, and turtle too. But the mushroom is my personal favorite! So many fun ways you can use it!

Fondue Set

If I had to choose one thing to do for date night, it would be chocolate fondue. I’m a sucker for dipping things in chocolate and so are a lot of people out there. This is fun for a family or for a party – just add chocolate and your favorite dippings. It’s cheap enough that even if you only use it a couple of times a year, it’s worth grabbing now!

Meat Mixer

My husband is normally the meat guy in our house but when I do cook, I use this every single time. It makes breaking up ground meat for making things like tacos so much easier. I honestly don’t know how people do it without it.

Kitchen Chopper

Another super useful tool, especially if you’re making dips, salsas, salads, or anything else with veggies. This thing can chop so many different thing and it’s 50% off right now!

Kitchen Scrapers

If I had to say the #1 most used thing in my kitchen, it would definitely be these scrapers. They’re so cheap but I use them all the time to clean out dishes, scrape my counters, and lots of other things!

Baseball Lifestyle 101 Shorts

My youngest and all of his friends are obsessed with Baseball Lifestyle 101 shorts (and shirts and socks). They’re so fun and honestly high-quality so we do end up buying them regularly. But they’re also so stupid expensive. They have a ton of things on sale right now including their wildly popular ice cream shorts so if you know anyone who loves these, this is the best time to get them.

You can see the entire collection and what’s on sale here. There are a bunch of options for both kids and men on sale.

Instant Print Camera

I wish I could tell you how much my boys have been enjoying taking pictures with this. There’s something so gratifying about taking a picture and it printing out immediately (I mean hello Polaroid, you get it I’m sure). It’s been one of their favorite summer activities to go find fun things to take pictures to. And it’s cheap enough that it’s not the end of the world if something happens to it, like when they’re using my phone or actual camera.

This would also be super fun to have at parties or to use for a photo scavenger hunt!

Tree Hut Body Scrub

This is one of my favorite body scrubs and perfect for exfoliating for the summer. There are a bunch of different flavors to choose from but they all work great for leaving your skin smooth and moisturized! Plus, they’re so bright and pretty!

If you wear shorts or swimsuits or anything during the summer (and I hope you do), this is a must-have!

Zipper Pouches

These in themselves aren’t fun, but they’re perfect for keeping all sorts of fun things in. We use them for board games with awkward boxes, on-the-go activities, and more. They fit so many different things and store way easier than board game boxes!

They’re 40% off right now, making it the perfect time to stock up! You could even use these to make a game night bundle for a gift with a couple of our favorite family card games!

Meta VR Headset

We got this for my oldest for Christmas last year and I can’t even count how many times I’ve gone downstairs to see him running around the basement with his friends (virtually of course). It’s so realistic and so fun. And I love that you can hookup and play with friends. We bought two for family VR nights.

We paid way more than it costs with the Prime Day deal so if you’ve been thinking about getting a VR headset, now is the time. Perfect for birthday or holiday gifts!

white noise machine

This thing is tiny yet works so well. I take it on pretty much every trip because I’m used to sleeping with white noise and it takes up no room at all in my suitcase (or backpack). We actually have a handful so everyone can have one in their room when we go places!

Reading Pillow

I gave one of these away for our reading retreat and everyone was so jealous of the winner. It’s so soft and comfy plus it comes with a pocket to put your book, Kindle, or anything else in it. I almost bought one for myself too then realized my boys would just steal it.
