Promising review: "LOVE THIS COOLER! It works great for everything from heading to our friend's house for an evening of sharing cocktails, to keeping groceries cold while I'm running other errands in town, to packing up snacks and drinks for bringing to the park with the kids. It tows around easily with the flip-up handle, and the built-in cupholders in the lid are a nice bonus feature. MADE IN THE USA!! :)" —Dennis F

Promising review: "The first time we used it, of course our tent got flooded and we were off the ground nice and dry. It was worth every penny. We bring a queen sheet set to protect it and I think it helps with the noise. We aren't the smallest people and it holds up our weight really well and is sturdy." —Target reviewer

Price: $150.99+ (available in sizes twin and queen)

Promising review: "This bug spray is great for casual use. It smells pretty good for a bug spray. It also dries really fast (definitely dry feeling) and leaves no noticeable residue behind. I used to use this for summer camp every year when I was young and still use it now for outdoor activities when I need mild bug protection." —annamjonas

Price: $13.99

Promising review: "Has everything you could want or need! This is a great radio! I was looking for a weather radio for use in emergencies and power outages. This exceeds my expectations on every level. It uses not only AC power but AA batteries and comes with an internal rechargeable battery (how often do you see that in a budget-friendly radio?) and a crank that can even help charge your phone when power is out! Weather radio, flashlight, lantern, thermometer-GPX — thought of everything! I really recommend choosing this great product if you're in the market for a great weather-enabled radio. It gives you so much more!" —Debbie8142

Price: $39.99
