Happy Tuesday, friends!
Rumor has it that it’s Prime Day starting TODAY, so I thought I’d round up my all-time favorite summer Prime finds to share with you this Tuesday morning.
From goggles to pool bags, beach towels and more, here are my personal favorite TEN SUMMER AMAZON FINDS! Over the years, I’ve bought, used and loved many items each summer from Amazon, but when I stopped and thought about my very very very favorite things, I came up with this list here. It was SO HARD to number them because I really do love each and every item, buuuuut I did it nonetheless and have them for you.
Ready, set, my TOP TEN SUMMER AMAZON FINDS:
These pool noodles are the most amazing. They’re pricier than normal noodles but LAST FOREVER and are basically INDESTRUCTIBLE. Other, less expensive noodles we’ve purchased have all broken, gone ‘weak’, cracked and fell a part after a few months (for sure by the end of the season), but these are over a year old and still going very strong. My kids are not gentle with them either…and yet, they’re as good as new. Plus, I love them because they carry some weight. Instead of needing multiple noodles to keep you afloat, these allow for just one per person. We love them!
I’ve bought a gazillion goggles over the years, but my kids told me this year that without a doubt, these are their favorite. I love them because they’re easy to adjust from one kid to another.
We are dedicated to these striped towels. They’re absorbent, they’re classic, they wash and dry well. Our fave.
This clutch right here is such a great find! I’ve traveled many places with it and always love pulling it out. It’s easy to pack, light, holds a ton, comes in over ten colors and oh so cute!
The beach blanket. Yes, yes, yes! Where have we taken this gem? Nantucket multiple times, Martha’s Vineyard, Mexico, Hawaii…it’s such a great way to create a nice big sort of sand-free space for eating, resting, lounging, etc. After each use, we shake it out, fold it up (it folds up nice and small) and use it again another day.
The big giant pool floats are like members of our family. We love them. When pool season is over, we deflate them and pack them up for the next season.
Ohhhhh the Yeti backpack could have been my #1 pick! I cannot remember the last vacation we took where we didn’t bring it along. Not just trips either…it’s at our side at sporting events too! A long baseball tournament weekend? No worries! Our Yeti backpack makes hauling food and drinks super simple and keeps everything nice and cold. They don’t make our version any longer, but there are many others that are very similar.
I don’t even now how many times I’ve purchased this set of beach toys here. No matter how old my kids get, this set is still their very favorite and has been for YEARS! Sometimes, at the end of the trip, instead of bringing back the sandy set, we give them to a family just arriving at the beach for their vacation and then grab another set for another vacation. Always the same set because it’s our fave.
Because these here have in every sense of the word revolutionized how I pack for myself and my family. Packing cubes are a summer must.
And finally…
…this is the only beach bag you need! You’ll be so surprised at the quality after you check out the price. It comes in so many great colors, has a variety of pockets, washes off, packs easily and carries a load. It is my very favorite Amazon summer find!
And those are my favorite summer Amazon finds 🙂 .
Bonus for your Tuesday, since it’s Prime Day(s), I thought I’d share one more time the TOP 10 BEST SELLING AMAZON PRODUCTS so far on my blog this year.
Counting down backwards, here we are:
#10: This sherpa pullover. It is realllly cozy and comes in other colors!
#8: My Lay and Go makeup bag that I travel with every single time I leave the house!
#7: My beach bag! Geez, I love this beach bag!! It also comes in several colors.
#6: This cozy fleece sweatshirt!
#5: My black tee 🙂 .
#4: My heart sweater. Super cute and comes in other colors! It’s so soft too…you guys know I can’t stand an itchy sweater!
#3: Ohhh! I love this dress! I wore it in Hawaii and on Easter too! It’s such a great quality dress for the price! I bought navy, but it comes in other colors too.
#2: I’m not surprised this romper was my #2 because I LOVE IT! This is not only SO COMFORTABLE, but it’s so easy to dress up or down, works well with sandals, heels, sneakers…whatever. I love it!
Now, my #1 product here on my blog over the last six months made me lol…BUT…I one hundred percent understand because I LOVE IT SO MUCH. A big thanks to my mother-in-law that told me to buy it in the first place…
#1: The heated eye lash curler. Y’all. It’s a game-changer. You will never go back. It is my favorite Amazon purchase to date this year too, so I’m thrilled that many of you have tried it as well!
That wraps up my Tuesday! I will see you all back here tomorrow! xx

Love this post! I have the short sleeve version of that romper and love it. It’s so comfy!
I wrote about some back to school items to look for on Prime Day here if you want to check it out: http://www.allaboutthatmommylife.com/2022/07/prime-day-prep-back-to-school-things.html?m=1
Can’t hurt to be thinking about back to school, even though it’s only July!
Lynn says
Good morning, Shay. Just wanted to let you know the link to your beach blanket is not working.
Mix and Match Mama says
So weird! I’ll fix it now! Thank you!
Elspeth says

Packing question:when using the cubes do you still mix people cubes into suitcases? I know before cubes you suggested packing more by the day in a suitcase over a person to a suitcase in case one gets lost. You still have items in another suitcase.
Mix and Match Mama says
It depends on the length of the trip. For longer trips overseas, we will mix up the cubes (and pack by day). For shorter trips, not so much.
Laura Toler says
Check out ICEMULE coolers. They are much lighter than the Yeti!! I am biased because a native of my hometown created the ICEMULE. I believe they can be purchased on Amazon. I love the color selection.
Darcy says
You are so right on the striped towels. They are the perfect weight and length. So much easier to pack these for camp versus bigger beach towels. Thank you for the recommendation!
Vanessa says
I love your blog. I have been reading for YEARS! Where are your cute heels from that your wearing with the navy dress??
Mix and Match Mama says
Well, thank you very much! I bought them at Nordstrom many years ago. The brand is YSL!
Elizabeth Feldpausch says
Thank you for sharing these!!! I love that you shared your tried and true items!! I ordered the eye lash curler!
Is your ice cream maker the cuisinart one?
Mix and Match Mama says
It is! The countertop version.
Michelle says
I have not been receiving your blog posts since May sometime. I don’t know why so I am subscribing again. This has happened with several other blogs I followed. It is maddening when you have blogs you really like.
Mix and Match Mama says
The emails?! Goodness, I’m so sorry! Can you email me? If you do, I’ll forward your email to my tech guy and see what he can do! mixandmatchmama@yahoo.com
TIna says
Have you ever mentioned what luggage you use? I love the packing cubes but I’m in the market for a few new suitcases for a European trip coming up (Thanks to Clare for helping us with that!) and the options are overwhelming!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have several different pieces at my house and use whichever one Andrew gets down (we keep them stored way up high). We have two Tumis, several Samonsite and then a piece of Delsey luggage too!
