"This is likely a more popular opinion than not, but I wait all year long for summer to arrive. And, when it finally does, I dive all in. Relaxing pool days, family road trips, backyard barbecues, bonfires, long walks, a day at the beach, and more. The start of summer brings all of my favorite things, and I couldn’t be happier.
By now, some families are already in full summer mode. But for others, like on the East Coast where I grew up, kids are just getting out of school, and the season is just beginning. If you’re in the latter group (or if time is flying and you just can’t believe it’s already the end of June), this roundup of products is for you. With all the summer fun to be had over the next few months, you likely need to stock up on some helpful summer products—and we’ve got you covered with all the best recs.
From beach bags, towels, sunglasses, and comfy sandals to bug bite remedies, shower scrubs, and luxurious bath salts, we polled The Everymom editors to ask them what they’re adding to their carts to ensure they have their best summer ever. Check out the list below!
Social CBD
For me, there's nothing more luxurious than climbing into a hot bath at the end of a long summer day. And when my muscles are sore from long walks outside and chasing my little ones around the playground, I use Social CBD's bath salts to relax and reset. The soak contains a mix of CBD to ease tension, salts for total body relief, essential oils to melt stress away, and botanical oils to leave skin smooth, soft, and radiant.

Target
The Everymom's Editor-in-Chief, Robi, has her eye on this chic canvas tote perfect for all her summer fun. Priced under $25, this bag is the perfect size to bring to the pool, the park, and even on vacation as it can be easily packed.
Amazon
We love an inexpensive pair of oversized sunglasses, and Ally, our Chief of Sales & Marketing, recommends this pair from Amazon. With nearly 900 positive reviews, this retro style comes in many colors and patterns making them a go-to pair with any summer outfit.
Pottery Barn Kids
Both our Everymom staff and readers adore this cute and practical hooded towel for kids. Not only is it great for pool days, but it can be used year-round for bathtime at home. Plus, it makes an adorable gift!
More colors and characters available. Personalize it, too!
Amazon
One Everymom editor, Kathy, swears by the Bug Bite Thing to "have on hand to use right when you get bitten" by summer bugs including mosquitoes, bees, wasps, flies, and more. If you haven't used this helpful little gadget yet, add it to your cart ASAP.
Old Navy
"I love these from the capsule and have them in multiple colors," Kathy said of these affordable and versatile pull-on shorts from Old Navy that our Commerce Editor, Jess, included in The Everymom’s Summer Capsule Wardrobe. Get a pair for yourself before they're gone for the season!
Available in five colors and in sizes XS to 4X.
Amazon
Our Editorial Intern, Bella, recommends these ultra-comfy slide sandals for summer that are under $25 and come in many, many colors. They're so great that our Commerce Editor, Jess, commented, "also love those!" in our Everymom Slack chat.
Lululemon
You've probably seen the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag, well, everywhere lately—and for good reason. It easily fits everything I need while on the go including my phone, keys, wallet, and other small essentials like a mask, tissues, and lip balm. I love and use it so much that I even bought a second in another color.
This item is often unavailable on Lululemon's website but comes back in stock quickly so check back!
Sephora
Both Kathy and Ally use this Himalayan salt scalp scrub shampoo to help keep their hair healthy and shiny all summer long. It's made for all hair types and textures and is designed to remove product buildup, dirt, and oil.
Amazon
Another great Amazon product, Ally recently bought these body-scrubbing mitts to gently exfoliate her skin in the shower or bath. I'm adding these to my cart to use after a sun-drenched day at the beach or pool this season.
