Vacations always end sooner than you want them to, and summer itself tends to fade away at a speed that’s almost hard to believe. Perhaps that’s part of the magic, but with some thoughtful closet, kitchen, and backyard additions, you can inject vacation vibes into your every summer day.
Whether it’s for cozy outdoor furniture that encourages you to curl up and zone out, fashion and accessories that give off resort-life energy, or tech that brings the fun, Walmart is your one-stop shop if you’re ready to make this summer one for the books.
Plan on scooping up seasonal essentials, and then prepare to be surprised and inspired by affordable and stylish finds across home, fashion, and more. Summer has always been about curiosity and trying new things. Why should that stop when you’re the grown-up in charge of making it all come together?
Thin, leaky, or seen-better-day pool floats aren’t going to transport you to a tropical resort level of relaxation. Upgrade yours with an extra-large, extra-cushioned lounger and chill in style.
A stylish umbrella isn’t just a decor choice but an investment in your health and wellness, more or less—it’s important to have a spot out of the direct sun for taking a break. The decorative valance and cream trim on this one gives it an elegant, hotel-like look.
Does your perfect vacation involve solo quiet time to read and sip your morning coffee? Find the same bliss at home by creating a space just for you. This swivel chair with weather-resistant cushions is extra roomy, inviting you to curl up and decompress.
It’s hard to think of something more refreshing and nostalgic on a steamy day than a snow cone, and, thankfully, it’s not that hard to make yourself with this device. Just add ice cubes and top with your favorite flavor of syrup.
Vacation is all about making memories, but some of the most special ones happen closer to home (and when you’re least expecting them). Invest in a camera this year so you’ll be ready to capture all the magic.
Bare feet and glass don’t mix, which is why we so often default to disposable cups, no matter the beverage. Level up your game with gorgeous goblets that use durable plastic to offer an elevated look that’s poolside-friendly.
When the tickets are booked and the hotel is reserved, the next step is often to think about your outfits. Let that be the approach for a staycation, too. The easiest way to upgrade your summer, outfit-wise, is definitely a new swimsuit. This versatile bottom is perfect for wearing in and out of the water.
Resort pools, hotel lobbies, the tiki bar near your favorite beach: They’ve all got a relaxation-ready soundtrack on in the background, right? Mentally transport there with a portable speaker that’s resistant to water and dust and can play for 12 hours on a single charge.
Scoops you get out tend to look prettier than what you dole into bowls at home. The secret is the tool, and with it, it’s surprisingly easy to recreate what the pros do. Buy a box of cones and invest in a sturdy scooper. You’ll be handing out boardwalk-quality sweet treats in no time.
Who made a rule that your vacation style can’t work at home? A dress that’s bright, breezy, and loose enough to toss on over a bathing suit is perfect for every day, too.
If your family and friends love the silly energy that comes with a round of karaoke when you’re on vacation, bring the fun into your own living room. This Bluetooth-enabled machine has two mics, flashing lights, and fun sound effects (have you ever wondered what Grandma would sound like as a singing robot?).
