It’s time for another post of My Favorite Things: To Buy Online Right Now. Summer edition. I have gathered some of my favorite things and cookbooks online to buy right now for summertime cooking/living/enjoying/reading. I hope you enjoy & find something you like!
I’ve been recipe testing a bunch of fun summer recipes and will be sharing them with you these next couple of weeks. Some of my favorites include this 10 Minute Easy Mango Salsa, Easy Watermelon Cucumber Salad, Fresh Mango Avocado Salsa, Glazed Almond Pound Cake (the perfect easy summer pound cake) and these Bacon & Mushroom Breakfast Egg Muffins. Egg muffins are in my opinion the perfect breakfast. Especially during those busy summer days where you need something quick to grab with you on the go. Make them ahead and keep in the freezer. Then just simply pop them in the microwave and heated until heated through. The best part about them is how extremely customizable they are.
Now that I’ve suggested a few easy summer recipes for you to make, let’s move onto the list of suggestions of what to buy online this summer. 🙂
My Favorite Things: To Buy Online Right Now
We’ll start this list off with this GORGEOUS Coastal Serving Board which makes the perfect summer snack platter or cheese board.
Then we have this Corn Stripper which gets all of the corn kernels off the cob easily. Or this Kale & Herb Razor which makes preparing kale or herbs, a breeze. And for all of your countertop scraps, this Countertop Scrap Collector makes a perfect little wastebasket.
These Ceramic Berry Baskets are great for washing, serving AND storing summer berries in.
And for serving salsas and or dips, these Majolica Salsa Turtles are super cute. I also love these Matte Latte Bowls which come in a set of 6.
BBQ: These Kabob Grilling Baskets are perfect for grilling summer vegetables without using a skewer. And this Cast Iron Garlic Roaster is perfect for roasting whole garlic.
This Cuisinart Deluxe 20-Piece Grill Set is a must have for any grill lover and makes a great gift as well.
Ice Cream/Popsicles: I just recently bought a Silicone Popsicle Mold which is perfect for making healthy homemade popsicles.
Tovolo has a lot of great ice cream and popsicle products, including this Ice Cream Tub (which I have in green) and is perfect for storing homemade ice cream in. Or this Stackable Ice Cream Tub. For homemade popsicles they have this Set of 6 Ice Pop Molds.
For Storage: These Avocado Huggers help you keep half an avocado fresh longer. And these Butter & Cheese Huggers helps you store any leftover cheeses from all that summertime snacking!
Wine Lovers: These Astrology Wine Glasses make the perfect gift for any wine lover. OR these Wine Pairing Towel Set that helps you pair wine with your favorite food.
If beer is more your thing, I think this Personalized Backyard Brews Bottle Opener would make a great gift for any beer lover.
For Picnics: Everybody should own a picnic basket and this Countryside Picnic Basket is super cute. Then there’s also this Country Picnic Basket this Picnic Basket Set for 4 or this Beach Picnic Basket which has thermal insulation and keeps your food hot or cold for hours.
I think these Marble Picnic Mini Cheese Boards are super cute and perfect for enjoying your favorite cheeses while on a picnic. Or just when you feel like having a little snack for one or two at home.
Jewelry: I’ve always been a huge Swarovski fan and they have a couple of great new products that I love. Such as this Infinity Y Necklace, Iconic Swan Y Necklace, Symbolic Necklace and Symbolic Moon Necklace. I also recently discovered a brand called Awe Inspired and I just love their gold necklaces.
