Now, that life is getting back to normal and we can get out and about I wanted to help you celebrate Summer 2021 the right way with these must-haves.
With more than 200 million Americans vaccinated, it’s safe to say that Summer fun is quickly approaching! Don’t sweat it, I’ve got all the essentials needed to keep you safe, comfortable and entertained as you get back out there this Summer!
Celebrated
The party pros at Celebrated have come up with a brilliant way to have guests ease back into social gatherings. Their new wristbands help party goers delight in life’s special moments and gatherings with a little extra help.
Add them to party boxes as a thoughtful way to let your guests remain at ease and focus on the festivities at their comfort level.
Okay with Hugs and High Fives (blue) Okay with Talking but Not Touching (white) Gonna Wave from Six Feet Away (red)
The crew is full of imagination and spark that is evident in their curated boxes. No occasion is too big or too small for this bunch. They’re a helping hand throughout the year that you can turn to for supplies and advice. Best of all, most items are disposable which is great for our current times (and fewer dishes to wash!).
Merak NY
Get back out there safely! Merak NY offers gloss and matte coverings that go perfectly for when you’re wearing an outfit that is turning heads. Wear the mask and still rock that sexy look.
Washable and reusable, grab a mask pouch and store up to four masks when you’re traveling and on the go. Each includes a filter pocket. Optional PM2.5 filters are available, giving you an extra layer of protection.
Fifth and Cherry brings the family together with their heirloom-quality wooden cutting boards. With their premium collection, all you need is one board that will last a lifetime.
The boards are handcrafted using only end-grain construction and Black American Cherry wood from Pennsylvania and New York. They’re steel-reinforced and individually serialized since no two boards are alike.
A Veteran-owned family business, Fifth & Cherry offers a lifetime warranty and free refinishing (the only cutting board company in the world to do this), a testament to the brand’s craftsmanship and customer service. These boards are meant to be passed down from generation to generation.
MyBevi
MyBevi is a traveler’s best friend this summer. The collection offers stainless steel tumblers for everyone that are made to endure all weather conditions and activities.
Get your coffee fix for the day or quench that thirst with ice-cold water. Eco-conscious consumers will be glad to know that this small family business is doing its part to provide sustainable solutions for a healthier future for our planet.
MyBevi makes it easy to reduce waste and mindfully adhere to an eco-friendly lifestyle that becomes a part of your everyday routine.
We’re feeling the good vibes and the spirit of Aloha with Humu Surf Company! With warmer weather headed our way, we’re right there with them, ready to enjoy sunny days and outdoor adventures wearing their trucker and beach hats.
Whether by the Ocean, at an outdoor picnic, visiting the Farmer’s Market, or relaxing in the backyard, the fun surf/beachwear brand has you covered and protected from the Sun’s rays while looking oh-so-fabulous!
Fostering a healthy and active lifestyle is what the brand is all about. The designs showcase images from nature on its trucker and beach hats – soft pastels and natural, bright colors taken from nature, sea, sky, and living things.
Surf Shack Puzzles
Travel vibes are in the air and we’re all ready to get together with family and friends to have much-needed bonding time. Surf Shack Puzzles is a great way to feel like you are escaping to sandy beaches and beautiful settings.
Unwind and share special moments with those you love with one of these aesthetically pleasing jigsaws. The Oahu-based brand works with female artists worldwide to come up with the drawings for its eco-friendly puzzles.
All puzzles are made of premium 100% recycled Eska board and printed with non-toxic inks, with a matte finish to reduce glare. The packaging is made from 95% recycled content and includes a reusable organic cotton drawstring bag. Great to grab and go!
Ahimsa
Choose only the best dinnerware for your kids and infants! Not only is it a show-stopper, but more importantly, it is one answer to the growing problem of plastics in plateware.
From packaging to product,you will find ZERO plastic. Developed by a board-certified pediatrician and mom of 3, Dr. Manasa Mantravadi began developing this colorful stainless steel line after the American Academy of Pediatrics released a policy statement saying that plastic can be harmful to children and instead recommended stainless steel or glass dinnerware whenever possible.
Ahimsa takes pride in providing nontoxic stainless steel products that won’t chip peel or leach harmful chemicals. Ahimsa sets are perfect for on the go travel and ensuring your kids can eat safe — wherever they are.
Bug bites are no fun for anyone, especially when you’re enjoying a summer trip full of activities. Focus on the fun while BuzzPatch handles the rest. With cute smiley-face designs that serve as mosquito repellent patches, kids enjoy wearing the stickers on outer clothing.
Unlike topical sprays which contain DEET or Picaridin, BuzzPatch is not only easy to apply but environment-friendly. A blend of natural Citronella and Lavender Essential Oils on a non-woven fabric are all that’s needed to detract pesky bugs (it smells amazing!).
Have you caught the travel bug? You’re not alone. Seasoned travelers know that the right handbag can make or break a travel experience. preneLOVE takes pride in creating the kinds of bags you want to have at your sides every day.
The premium neoprene totes, handbags, and accessories have a bold styling that is secure, durable, and functional for all of your Summer travel needs. There’s a price point for every budget.
Choose from totes, weekenders, and crossbody in sassy and sophisticated offerings. Love is in the name and in the craftsmanship that goes into each bag.
Special touches include sailing rope handles with reinforced metal grommets, magnetic closures, and fully-lined interiors intentionally chosen for how they look and feel.
The thoughtfulness that has gone into the high-quality finishing and design effortlessly blend function and fashion. Whether it’s a pop of bright color on a belt bag or a beautifully balanced neutral tote that will go with everything in your closet, the brand regularly introduces new designs and patterns to make sure you can find that one bag that’s totally “you”.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
