    27 Things For Your Home That Will Make You Feel Better About Avoiding The Heat And Staying Inside This Summer

    These items will make staying inside an absolute breeze sans the AC bill. ;)

    1. A set of glass mason jars that'll give life to a new hobby. Get to pickling, overnight oating, batch cocktail making, or whatever your crafty little heart desires. Put those hours in the beloved AC to good use.

    2. A six-cup rice cooker to insight the culinary creativity that will inevitably hit you as you spend more time indoors. So many hobbies to develop, so little time. This machine will add some convenience all while saving some minutes.

    3. A mini air purifier for making that fresh AC you're escaping to the best quality it's ever been. After running around outside and tracking in dirt and grass, this quiet little addition will freshen up the air circulating in your house.

    4. A set of under-the-sink storage shelves that'll help get clutter under control. With more time inside, there's no shortage of projects, including tackling the messy area under your bathroom sink. Thanks to these shelves, your cleaning supplies will look incredibly organized, and you'll barely want to touch them because they'll look so good.

    5. An indoor tabletop s'mores maker to assure that everyone's favorite treat is still consumed. And a lot. It's not summertime without a s'more, and with this machine, you can beat the heat and enjoy it anyway!

    7. A set of floating shelves for a little pick-me-up in the home look. A retouch, a revamp, and a new style to soak in the summer months. Who knows, while fishing out things to decorate these shelves, you might find some books you've been meaning to read. ;)

    8. An Echo dot that'll be a great intro to home tech. Alexa will tell you the temperature before you even have to walk outside, give you news updates, get your summer playlist, and answer any questions you have. A gadget we all need but especially when spending so much quality time together.

    9. An indoor gardening kit so that the best parts of summer outside don't have to stay a thing of the past. Bring the garden inside and enjoy all the fresh herbs you're used to without facing the heat.

    10. An at-home gin making kit for those of us looking to get extra crafty this summer. There's nothing like a good cocktail. And a good cocktail that we made literally every ingredient to? Don't mind us as we dust off our shoulders. And throw one back. ;)

    11. A bathtub tray so you can create the ultimate R+R setup. All our time indoors doesn't have to be working through a to-do list, sometimes we just need a minute to ourselves. Or 45, in lavender suds with a glass of wine.

    12. A handheld massage gun that'll help with any muscle soreness after summer workouts. With 10 different massage heads, there will be no kink left behind.

    13. A wine decanter with a pouring spout for the most fuss-free and quality wine pours all summer long. Malbecs, Pinots, Cabernets, all of our best friends will be kept in pristine condition as they wait for our next happy hour session.

    14. A cappuccino maker for the artisanal taste of a café run but without having to actually make one. This slick and easy machine will get your caffeine intake jumpstarted and in fashion.

    15. A shaved ice machine that'll be great for making snow cones. Just because we're staying couch-side doesn't mean we can't bring the best things inside with us.

    16. A fabric bulletin board to spruce up some of the empty walls you'll be looking at this season. Make it all your own with photos, postcards, cards, calendars, or anything you want to make into a playful and fun DIY creation.

    17. A set of cozy accent pillows that'll make your space as comfy as possible this season. If the heat is going to bind us to our couches, let them be the comfiest couches they've ever been. Vive la couch potatoes!

    18. A TV stand to hold up our most prized possession this season. As the heat finally gives us an excuse to binge the many shows we just haven't had time for, a new TV stand, like this one, can add to our cinematic experience in ways we don't realize.

    19. A set of cooling bedroom pillows for the extra cool-down you will need at night. After the heat of the day, these pillows will be actual lifesavers as they'll make getting cozy in bed not the impossibility it can sometimes be in high temps.

    20. A Foosball table that'll help you enjoy your day if it's hot and stormy outdoors. If you're loving the feeling of inside but starting to feel like you need some fun in the sun, make it fun in the living room *and* bring your soccer match indoors.

    21. A Bluetooth-friendly indoor bicycle for keeping us active in these sweltering times. An affordable alternative to exercising outside when the sun is being its most relentless.

    22. A vinyl player for spinning the best of our collection all summer long. This one adds a mid-century modern, Laurel Canyon, boho chic vibe to the room making it look good and sound good.

    23. An ultra cooling blanket to help you still stay cozy indoors without feeling too hot. If you want that comfort of a little coverage (that leg out from under the covers at night feeling), this cooling blanket will be your best friend.

    24. A candle-making kit that'll be a fun DIY project when you don't feel like going outside. Learn the skill of candle-making, then use this to make the best-smelling candles for your own home or for your friends who are also staying home to avoid all things 90+ degrees.

    25. A light and compact Kindle for diving into your summer reading with style. While posted up this summer, cooled off, what better use of your time than to read the many books you've had on your list for months. (BF book club, anyone?!)

    26. A reclining accent chair that you'll surely put to good use as you put your feet up all summer. You deserve some good rest and relaxation. One of life's greatest gifts is a recliner, so let's just go for it!

    27. A multi-tiered plant stand to bring some of the Earth's best offerings inside if you're starting to miss the fresh air a bit. Beat the heat, but bring O2's best providers straight to you and in an adorable fashion.
