Intex Challenger Kayak Inflatable Set
Having a kayak is a cool way to cruise your local waters, but it can be a serious workout to schlep a heavy vessel over the dunes. Enter the Intex Challenger Kayak Inflatable Set. This inflatable blows up like a raft but works just like a kayak — and is puncture- and UV damage-resistant. The kayak, which holds up to 400 pounds, even comes with its own pump and aluminum oars.
"Took it to a lake in northern Maine for a five-day trip. I fished and fished and fished and fished," said a happy customer. "I had my 60-pound dog with me, and this held up beautifully! ...After blowing it up at the car, I walked it about 100 yards to the shore of the lake and used it. It was PHENOMENAL!!! I love this kayak! LOVE IT!"
Welhome Cabana Beach Towel, Set of 2
Sure, you can grab any old junky towel and use it on the beach. But you can also invest in some gorgeous striped towels that double as decor. The Welhome Cabana Beach Towel, set of two, definitely falls into the latter camp. These classic-style towels are plush and long (72 inches, to be exact!) and look great, whether they're artfully arranged in a basket on your patio or laid out in the sand.
"The thread count is very high and it shows," said a five-star fan. "These towels are very soft, thick and absorbent, yet they dry more quickly than many of my other beach towels that are thinner."
Cuisinart Portable Charcoal Grill
Whether you're planning to hit the beach with your buddies or want to cook out in the park, this mega-popular Cuisinart charcoal grill is ready to make the experience legendary. It's got 150-square-inch cooking rack that'll let you cook up a feast of dogs and burgers, along with three secure lid locks to make transportation easy. And, here's the kicker: It weighs only two pounds.
"This grill is a great size to carry with us in our small motor home," this noshing nomad wrote. "Compact, lightweight, easy to set up and use without being bulky. It does exactly what we want and need it to do. Cleanup after each use is a breeze. Would buy again if we needed another. This grill would be a nice gift for others that camp, glamp, RV or have a small area to grill in."
Knpailmy True Wireless Earbuds with Charging Case
Want wireless earbuds without the hefty price tag? These true wireless earbuds look nearly identical to Apple AirPods — and they're much, much, much cheaper. And that was before the 40% discount on offer right now. These Bluetooth buds sync up with your phone, so you can play your music and hold conversations hands-free. They also offer up to 40 hours of playtime. Once you're ready to recharge them, simply place the buds in their charging case — it's that simple!
"These earbuds are honestly amazing!" said a five-star fan. "They are unbelievably comfortable. You just head in the direction of your ear and it’s like they’re on autopilot, they just 'plop' on your ear, in the bowl part at the bottom of the ear. They don’t move, fall out, twist or turn. I’ve slept in them every night, and when I wake up they’re still where I put them. ...Sound is great, bass is great."
Amazon Fire TV 65" Omni Series
If you're in the market for a TV, the Omni Series gives you an incredible viewing experience at an incredible price. With the 65-inch version you get access to every major streaming service, but it also includes hands-free Alexa operation. That means you can say things like, "Alexa, turn on the TV," or "Alexa, watch Survivor on Hulu," without ever touching the remote.
"Awesome television experience!!!" shared one happy TV watcher. "The TV has amazing picture quality. The sound is surprisingly good as well. If you use Alexa, you can’t go wrong with this television."
