This Oversized Beach Tote Reviewers Say is "The Best I've Ever Owned"

via Amazon

I used a sad combination of grocery sacks and an old backpack to cart our gear to the beach recently. I've wised up and ordered this Oversized Beach Tote.

Use The Sun To Keep Your Devices Charged With This Solar Charger

A solar charger should be one of the first pieces of survival gear that you get. As I mentioned earlier, we're all addicted to our phones and devices, and they've become important survival gear as well. Should anything happen during a camping trip or a hike, you're going to want to call for help. But you can't do that if your phone is dead. Use the sun to charge your devices with this solar charger. When fully charged, you can charge an iPhone up to 6-10 times and a tablet up to 3-4 times.

These Stylishly Square Sunglasses That Won't Break The Bank

via Amazon

I stopped buying designer sunglasses years ago. Why? Because you can always find designer-esque sunglasses for a fraction of the price — like these stylish square ones. Not only are they trendy, but they're also less than $20. That means you can grab a pair for yourself, a second pair for yourself (why not — you deserve it), then maybe another for a friend.

These Apple Earpods with a Headphone Jack for Those of Us Who Hate Bluetooth

Amazon

I've been using Apple's Ear Pods since their release, and I've gotta say, I'm a huge fan. I've gone through four pairs in 10 years, which considering my aptitude for breaking and/or losing earbuds, is pretty impressive. They have nice audio quality, are easy to detangle, and pretty soundproof (in my own, personal opinion audiophiles please don't come at me).

Made of soft synthetic leather, this Crossbody Phone Bag is designed to hold just what you need for comfortable, all-day wear. Perfectly sized for a phone and a few essentials, and comes in over 40 colors!

This Transparent Crossbody Is Super Groovy

​This crossbody bag may easily be one of the most unique purses that I have ever come across, and I can't get enough of it. The patterned inside pouch can be used to hide your items or can be taken out and used as a clutch. And the transparent body of the bag can also be used as a crossbody or handheld purse for days when you just feel like letting the world see everything you have on you.

These Transparent Pouches Keep Me Organized

via Amazon

I bought a set of these Transparent Pouches last year, and I've found so many uses for them that I'm ordering a second set. I use them in my purse and work bag to organize makeup and other small things, and I also keep one in my car for odds and ends.

These Water Shoes Have Over 58,000 Ratings on Amazon

If you're always on the road or even just find yourself always at coffee shops working away, you're likely spending a lot of time on your phone. Turn your phone into a mini screen instantly with this phone case. The metal kickstand allows you to prop up the phone vertically or horizontally so you can see the screen easier without holding it.

This Garmin GPS Watch Is a Favorite Among Runners

This Dash Mount Phone Holder Keeps It In Place

via Amazon

I have one of those vent mount phone holders I use when needing directions, but it always falls out annoyingly. This dash mount phone holder is a much better option because the phone stays put and keeps the map easy to read so you don't accidentally cause a crash while you're trying to retrieve your fallen phone! It's held in place by five grippy tabs, so your phone isn't going anywhere even if you take corners above the speed limit or drive down a bumpy road.

This Tote Bag Can Hold Everything You Own

I love simple purses that are large enough to carry my laptop and other items while traveling between coffee shops. This tote bag is ridiculously affordable considering how high quality it is. It's big enough to carry my Macbook in it and then some, and it's held up extraordinarily well.

Are you a 90s baby who loved platform sandals when you were younger? If so, I've got good news for you. They're back in style. These platform sandals are a fashion-forward everyday staple.

Keep Your Phone in Plain View While Driving With The Orbiter Dash Mount Kit

via Amazon

The Orbiter Dash Mount Kit includes a steel ball socket that attaches to your dash. It'll hold your phone magnetically in place, making it easy to rotate it in every direction for a full view while you drive. The magnet is powerful and holds your phone securely so it won't fall or get damaged.

A Crossbody For Day And Night

via Amazon

I'm a big purse gal myself, and trust me, I tried to get onboard the tiny crossbody wagon and fell off after realizing I just needed access to all my stuff. Regardless, if you're a crossbody kind of person, this is a good one. Triple zippers on the top give you multiple pockets to stash everything, and it comes in a variety of colors, from traditional brown and black to summer-ready yellow and orange.

Whether you want to track the whereabouts of your car, valuables, or a loved one, this GPS tracker will do the trick. It's got a powerful twin-magnet case.

via Amazon

You can use this tote as a gym bag or even as a carry-on — the strap on the back makes it easy to balance on top of any rolling luggage you might have. It's made from tough nylon that won't rip, and you have the choice of three colors: pink, grey, or black.

These Sunglasses Are A Serious Throwback

via Amazon

Normally I wouldn't even consider sunglasses like these. Not that I don't think they're absolutely adorable, but I have a hard time envisioning how to style them. However, after seeing tons of people on Instagram wearing glasses like these, I can't get enough of them. They look old school in the best way possible and make a great accessory to dress up any outfit.

This 10-Foot Phone Charger Lets You Easily Use Your Phone While It Charges

via Amazon

Is there anything more annoying than dealing with a bunch of cords while trying to charge your devices? I also hate how short the cords are, and I often want to use my phone while I charge it.

These Polarized Sunglasses Are Retro-Fabulous

With anti-slip nose pads and UV400 polarized lenses, these sunglasses are just as stylish as they are functional. The mirror coating hides your eyes so you can judge people without them catching on — and they just look plain good. Not into pink? Don't worry; you can grab them in more than 15 other vibrant colors.

Treat Yourself to These Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones in Bold Pops of Color

I've had my eyes on these noise-canceling headphones for some time now. They're priced great, and they come in such fun colors! (I'd be torn between red and purple, myself.) These are Amazon buyer favorites, with more than 70,000 purchases. They give you 30 hours of playtime in Bluetooth mode. They have soft ear cups that swivel 90 degrees, and they come with an 18-month warranty.

Y2K Lovers Will Dig These Sunglasses

​If I remember correctly, I have seen sunglasses very similar to these on every famous model and actress throughout the 90s.

And if you look at the photo, you can even see that they have some added arch support in the center.
