EDITOR'S NOTE

Our team is always walking the fine line between products that are genuinely hacky and semi-ridiculous, but whimsical nonetheless. So if you can’t make it to a body of water this weekend, here are a few products that’ll make your local park feel like one:

• This adorable tote bag that magically turns into a lounge chair (no joke). You can use this on a rooftop, too. If you’re looking for an actual chair, we’d go for this collapsible option (it isn’t the most stable, but it gets the job done).

• A puffy picnic blanket that’s compact and comes in fun prints.

• This ultra-wide sun hat with UPF protection. It’s ideal if you’re going to be sitting outside, but don’t own an umbrella.

• A “Towel To Go” scrunchie for major sweaters.

• The best way to read for hours without having to lug a ton of books.

Don’t forget to enjoy the long weekend while you’re at it.
