This $8 Stain Remover Is Straight Up ‘Witchcraft'
Was a meal even good if it didn't end up on your shirt somehow? The running joke in my foodie family is that if someone's not wearing the meal by dish duty time, it couldn't have been that great. Knowing our proclivity for enthusiastic eating I've naturally become a stain-removal connoisseur over the years. Every pen, stick, sheet, gel and spray has found its way into my rotation at one point or another. So when this kids' stain remover came across my radar, my interest was piqued.
Hear me out: you might not think a stain remover marketed specifically towards kiddos would be the workhorse that it is, but this product is garnering a cult following for good reason. First, and most importantly, it works, according to the thousands of folks who have tried it and left reviews at Amazon. Smashed blueberries, a coffee dribble down your shirt, grass stained knees, blood, grease and ages old mystery stains are no match for this spray. It's fast, effective and safe – EPA Safer Choice Certified-safe, to be specific.
Naturally, it's great for baby stains, as promised. It's designed to work lightning fast without the use of harmful chemicals like sulfates or formaldehydes. Just spritz, blot and launder as usual. Reviewer Augustina wrote that 'as a mom, I've dealt with all kinds of food and drink stains, and this spray tackles them effortlessly,' summing it up by calling it 'an essential for parents!'
Beyond baby duty, this stain remover's off-label uses are turning heads. Another reviewer hypes this spray as 'freaking phenomenal to use in cars' claiming that it took out years old smoke stains from her used car's upholstery with just 'a few sprays of this bad boy and a rag to rub it in.' One HuffPost editor recently shared that she loves using this stain to clean her sneakers and Eddie's review backs this up, adding that their 'Nike white shoes were dirty, muddy, coffee stains,' then they 'sprayed this and waited 5 minutes' and 'it took it all right off!!'
So, don't be fooled by the label. True, it's a parent essential, but I'd go as far as to say it's a person essential. We're all guilty of spills and slip-ups. Stains happen, but no matter the mess, Miss Mouth's Messy Eater stain treater spray can take it on. Let this stuff work its magic on stains and spills and you'll never look back. Honestly, you might just forget what a stain is.
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in multi-packs, pens, various spray bottle styles, and in bundles)

29 Pieces Of Summer Clothing For People Who Hate Heat
A drawstring romper with all the comfort of the pajama set you've been wearing to bed since 1893, but it's not fuzzy fleece rubber duck pajamas and ergo a *lot* more chic. Promising review: "Bought four of these in different colors, black, blue, red, and green. Love them all. Live in Florida and it's perfect for the hot weather." —DVS Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 14 colors). A swing dress you'll find yourself gravitating toward for any occasion. It all lies in the power of shoe choice: Pair this with heels for tasting course dinners or with sneakers for that ~aesthetic~ coffee shop you found on Instagram. Promising review: "Love the color and fit; will be ordering more colors in the future. Great piece for Florida weather. I bet it would be awesome for a cruise or other summer vacation." —Michelle BarkleyGet it from Amazon for $24.90 (available in sizes XS–5X and in 36 colors). A gauzy maxi button-up for both beachside traipsing and/or dinner with your favorite wedges. There's no right or wrong answer here. Promising review: "I love this dress! This dress is so easy to throw on and go. It's been a summer of extreme heat in Texas and the material of this dress makes it bearable. So simple to throw on to run to the store or any errands. Much more comfortable than shorts. Plus you'll look more put together." —MEGet it from Amazon for $37.79+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 25 colors). A high-neck top and flared skirt set about to make those early morning ballet barre sessions feel so much less painful.

An under-$20 fishtail maxi with a gorgeous open back. Now I know what you're thinking: what about le underwire? This has adjustable straps for customized support and an inner shelf bra for subtle support. I personally own and *love* this dress. I wear a 34DD and while I cannot exactly go for a jog while wearing this, I do find that there's enough support despite going bra-less to spare the open back. Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous. I'm not a dress girl but when I put this on I have never felt so beautiful. The chest has double lining so you can wear it without a bra and not have to worry about anything. Also, the dress hugs my hips so well." —Nolen FamilyGet it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in sizes S–L and six colors). A floral print romper if you love the look of dresses but are terrified of sudden gusts of wind. This gives you the silhouette of a short mini *but* the flowy shorts mean you can cartwheel in public without panic. *attempts a cartwheel at 26* *is in pain for a week straight*. Promising review: "WOW! Do yourself a favor and buy this romper. What a hit. I LOVE the bright green color, the neckline is super cute without being too low, and the romper actually fits! Has a zipper on the back and the bow tie sleeves so it's pretty adjustable. The fabric is light and silky, which I love for hot summers in Florida!" —Jordan Marie Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors). A twist-front crop top that's about to become your permanent plus one to cycling classes going forward. And while those classes are pricey, you'll be glad to know this top is budget-friendly at $18. Plus, reviewers swear that its fabric lasts through a bunch of washes. A pair of cargo joggers for a breezier, less constricting upgrade to the black leggings you've been wearing for the past decade. Plus, you can put the fanny pack down — these have five pockets for storage. A tennis dress that is appropriate for all manner of sports (I'm talkin' golf, pickleball, hiking, etc.) but equally fantastic for hours-long strolls through new cities. It's athleisure and vacation attire in one. Promising review: "The cutest golf outfit! Wore it for a tournament and got so many compliments. I live in Florida and it was hottttt but this is super comfy, lightweight, and breathable." —JaclynGet it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 15 colors).

It fits perfectly and is lightweight enough for the heat wave we are experiencing in LA." —Sweet SerenadeGet it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 26 colors).

Definitely want to order another color." —dianna folkersGet it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 15 colors). A high-waisted palazzo trouser for a flowy staple that's great for team meetings, happy hours, and pretty much everything else in between. Now repeat after me: chic. Promising review: "Light and airy! Waist was very cinched, but in a good way. I wore these in Atlanta July heat and they gave maximum comfort and kept me cool. These are trendy and stylish." —SkyGet them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, two lengths, and 15 colors). A two-pack of crewneck tees, because it's about time you bid adieu to the ratty old gym shirt you've been wearing for the past, oh, decade. These are simple, sleek, and crafted with a moisture-wicking material. Promising review: "Super comfortable for hot climates! I am in and out of the South Carolina heat in the summer and these keep me cool while looking a little more professional than a more running-style shirt. They do run longer in length, which I like because everything stays covered, they are not super clingy or tight, and are very comfortable." —Amazon Customer Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.50+ (available in sizes XS–6XL and 17 color combinations). A V-neck embroidered maxi I'd like to wear on a bike ride through the Italian countryside. That probably won't be happening anytime soon but I'm going to add this to my shopping cart in the name of hope. Promising review: "This dress FAR exceeded expectations. It fit absolutely perfectly and the material is substantial. I think it's about the same quality you would find in many Anthro dresses. I got the gorgeous yellow color and it's the perfect transition from summer to fall with a little chambray shirt or sweater." —Rebecca StubbsGet it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in sizes 0–14 and eight colors). A pair of drawstring shorts if you love the *look* of biker shorts but hate the feeling of tight fabric on your upper thighs as temps soar. These are the perfect blend of airy and cute. Promising reviews: "Breathable material and very comfortable for this hot Texas weather." —Jessica"I LOVE these shorts. They are so comfortable, and they fit perfectly. I want them in every color." — them from Amazon for $25.57 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 29 colors). A tortoiseshell-button V-neck number guaranteed to make you feel ~trendier than thou~ on your stroll to the corner deli. Available in neutral colors and fun patterns alike, quickly throw this on to make it seem as if you didn't snooze through your alarm this morning. Promising review: "I bought this knowing it would fit. Little loose, which is what I wanted. Wore it during a trip to Spain. Washes well, doesn't show sweat, and was very airy and cool in the humid, hot air of Barcelona. I am really glad I bought it, especially due to the price!" —Heather it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in sizes S–XL and in 14 colors). A longline padded tank that reaps the versatility of a tank with the sweet, sweet support of underwire thanks to a body-hugging fit. TL;DR: going braless (and avoiding that extra layer on hot days) has never felt so secure. Promising review: "All the positive reviews are true, this is a really great top! I will only buy premium workout leggings, but have been looking into more affordable tops and stumbled across this one. I really didn't expect to love it as much as I do. The fabric is soft and very thick, the cut is great, and it offers enough support for DD/DDD for casual wear and stretching/mobility sessions." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 29 colors). A flared drawstring skirt you can pair with a white tee (we highly rec. the TikTok method of cropping seen below) and et voila, that fashion blog shall be calling. Promising review: "This is a great skirt! I wore it on my birthday to a steakhouse and then to dancing, just changing my boots between occasions. I got a ton of compliments and I was super comfortable. I also love the versatility of this skirt. Mine is pulled up super high for my outfit, but the adjustable waist means you can wear it however you want!" —Mallory Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors). A ruffled blouse with a tie-back design, aka the perfect crop top to throw on when you're in a time crunch and have no idea what to wear. This versatile piece matches with any bottom (skirts, shorts, jeans, etc.). Promising review: "This top is soooo cute! The top where the shoulders are is elastic so it's stretchy and will stay wherever you place it. The wrap tie is super great as well. It's a lightweight material but it's not see-through at all. I wore with a strapless bra but you can easily do without a bra." —Lizette A. Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 37 colors). A surplice dress available in solid colors and a snazzy leopard print, the latter of which I personally intend on purchasing in preparation for my eventual Disney vacay (inspired by the below reviewer). Promising review: "This dress is very easy to care for. You can dress it up or wear it casual. So comfortable. I live in South Florida and it's become a staple for business, business travel, and daily wear." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $19.32+ (available in sizes XS–6X, two fabric options, and 16 colors). A striped cap-sleeve midi meant for frolicking in gardens ripe with tomatoes, tulips, lots of citrus, and potentially forest animals. I highly recommend wearing this in your studio apartment to trick yourself into the idea that your life is "cottagecore." It hurts. Promising review: "This summer dress is a must-have! I must have worn it at least once a week all summer long. It's so comfortable and the material is breathable... even on humid days. The pockets are ideal and the flutter cap sleeves couldn't be cuter. I wore it with white sneakers, sandals, and espadrilles, so it's very versatile. Looking forward to pulling it out of the closet next summer." —Nikki Scott Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes 0–12 and in seven colors). A maxi dress highlighting the crème de la crème of fashion designs: pockets. Throw in super soft fabric and you've got yourself a recipe for perfection. Promising review: "Fits perfectly! Material is not heavy nor thin, just right for Texas heat. Loving the slits and pockets." —TJonesGet it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes 14–26 Plus and in 24 colors). A lightweight long-sleeve UPF 50+ T-shirt that provides sun protection and prevents any smelly odors from forming (because all deodorant effectiveness goes right out the window the moment you start to sweat, and that's not up for debate). Promising reviews: "Withstood the Arizona heat test. I wore this on a bicycle ride under my jersey. It was 104 degrees. It was cool! I even tried one sleeve up to compare arms and the covered one was cooler because the radiant heat of the sun was hot! I sprinkled my sleeves with water, and it was really cool for a while." —Saltwater girl "Purchased this shirt for my daughter who suffers from solar urticaria. This shirt has been wonderful for her and has made it possible for her to enjoy being outside a bit without slathering sunscreen on everywhere. She lives in the South where it's hot and humid, and the shirt is lightweight and wicks sweat away and dries quickly after washing." —B FalknerGet it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors). A T-shirt dress equipped with both a tie-waist and pockets, the latter of which are the sole requirement I'm looking for in an article of clothing. Promising review: "This is a soft and comfortable dress. The length is perfect. The sleeves are a nice length. It's so soft and cool in the hot, humid Florida weather. It's like wearing a soft T-shirt, but much prettier. Every time I wear it, I get compliments on how nice it looks!" —GWGet it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 24 colors). An essential cropped tank that has most likely been blessed by a fairy godmother. Why? This takes your basic cami and goes *poof.* An instantly chic upgrade is yours for the taking due to this high-neck silhouette. Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color and as soon as I tried it on I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn't have a built-in bra, but it's lined. You could put on a bra with this if you'd like but there's no need. It's cropped but still long enough that it doesn't roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I'll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it's just that incredible." —DanijtateGet it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 32 colors). An off-shoulder bodycon lauded by reviewers for a comfortable and stretchy fabric that doesn't wrinkle, ergo you won't have to break out that clunky steamer that... maybe doesn't even work properly? I swear the wrinkles are still there after I use mine. Promising review: "Very comfortable, stayed in place and I felt cool in Atlanta heat." —Sharice ButtsGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 4–20 and in 18 colors). A pajama set here to nudge your high school gym shorts and old soccer team T-shirt into retirement. Sweaty sleepers, this cool-to-the-touch bamboo-viscose fabric is *especially* divine for you. Promising review: "These are my favorite pajamas I have! I live in Arizona and it's just so hot here, but these are nice and cool and lightweight. They are as close to wearing nothing as you can get while wearing pajamas." —Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and in 20 colors).

These 15 Lightweight, Linen Items Are My Secret to Easy Summer Travel Outfits—and Up to 50% Off
As a travel writer, being comfortable and feeling chic are two important factors I consider when adding pieces to my wardrobe. If I'm traveling, I'm all about lightweight, flowy linen items that are easy to pack, but also look great as I'm wandering around new destinations; I've already been island-hopping in Greece, made my way around parts of Lake Como, and ate my way through Ireland—all while happily wearing comfortable lightweight clothing that can easily be steamed or hung up near a hot shower and instantly ready to go right out of my suitcase. With summer travel in full swing (and my itinerary showing no signs of slowing down), I'm making sure to stock up on all things lightweight and linen. Luckily, Amazon has tons of breezy linen summer clothes on sale now, perfect for kicking off (or continuing!) your summer adventures. To help, I've listed the 15 pieces of clothing currently in my Amazon cart below, with deals of up to 50 percent off. These drawstring pants are loose and cropped at just the right length to wear throughout the summer. I love the paper bag-style waist that adds a fun, stylish detail to these otherwise sleek and simple pants. Available in 14 colors and prints, these versatile pants also have pockets for added convenience. Many shoppers agree that they are 'lightweight' and even 'super flattering,' which is all we need in a great pair of summer travel pants. Plus, they're currently on sale for just $30. This Anrabess dress popped up on my TikTok feed a few times before I finally caved and bought it, but I'm so glad I did. I love how stylish the straight neckline and tie-up ribbon straps are, plus the fact that it's the perfect ankle length, so I can wear it with a variety of shoes. Available in a whopping 23 different colors, it's easy to grab your favorite hue or to branch out and snag something out of the ordinary for your closet. And although not made of linen, the viscose fabric is lightweight and comfortable, perfect for summer travel. This casual short-sleeve shirt is made using a mix of linen and rayon that's both breezy and quick-drying, ideal for those travel days when you can't help but get sweaty. Fitting true to size, it's soft, lightweight, and easy to iron or steam. On sale and available in 28 colors and prints, it's one of those shirts that will immediately find its way into your suitcase because of its versatile nature and serious comfort level. No outfit is quite as easy or chic to throw on as your favorite jumpsuit—and they pack well, too. This one features a linen and viscose blend, which means the fabric will be lightweight and comfortable, perfect for throwing on with comfy sneakers for sightseeing or pairing with jewelry and heels for a night out. With cute details like tie straps and hemmed legs, this Anrabess jumpsuit may quickly become one of your favorite travel outfits. I need it in black to have an easy neutral option, but because it's on sale, I might have to grab it in a fun statement color (like this watermelon hue) as well. My love of matching sets and the collection I've amassed is a secret to no one, but I'm always on the lookout for more. This linen option is extra versatile because of its long-sleeved button-up top paired with comfy shorts, perfect for wearing as a set or individually. Toss the long-sleeve over your top when it gets chilly at night, pair the shorts with a short-sleeve when it's blisteringly hot out, or wear them together as a cover-up for your next beach day. Looking for a button-down that's anything but ordinary? This classic version from Zeagoo is a great way to add extra flair to your outfit. I love how easy it is to mix and match with the other items in my closet, plus how much more fun it makes jean shorts and a basic tank top. It's also made of 100 percent cotton, so you can buy it knowing that it will be soft and breezy, too. The fact that it's on sale doesn't hurt, either! While browsing Amazon, this tank top and matching pant set caught my eye. It's cute and functional, and currently on sale, making it a steal at just $40 for two pieces. Numerous shoppers found that this set kept them comfortable on hot days because of the lightweight linen and rayon blend fabric. Shorter people also liked the ankle length of the pants so that they didn't look too long on them. And, you can easily wear either piece separately to get more out of your packed clothes. Whether you'll be strolling along the beach or exploring the streets of a new city this summer, this flowy maxi skirt will keep you cool and comfortable. In fact, one shopper said the fabric has "great flow" and is "light and airy." That's exactly what I'm looking for in a lightweight summer skirt. Plus, it has pockets! The ruffled tiers add a pop of style and can pair easily with everything from sneakers to heels. Summer equals beach adventures, which means that I'm stocking up on easy-breezy bathing suit cover-ups for boat hangs, lounging by the pool, and walks along the sand. This particular one caught my eye because you can tie it in several different ways, making it a multi-use piece of clothing (which is a huge bonus when you're a devoted carry-on packer like I am). Available in a handful of colors, I love that it has flowy long sleeves for extra sun protection while still keeping you cool. This flattering halter maxi dress is loose and lightweight, perfect for hot summer days. Wear it for an easy day-to-night look, because you can pair it with sneakers or comfortable sandals for daytime wear or a pair of heels for hitting the town. With 19 different colors and prints to choose from, you'll find an option that best suits your style—plus, at this low price of $30, you might even be able to add two to your cart. Shoppers love that the length is just at ankle height, making it a good option for shorter people, too. A pair of easy-to-throw-on linen shorts is crucial to a solid summer wardrobe. Made with a cotton and linen blend, this Amazon-loved pair is guaranteed to feel soft and light, even when it's swelteringly hot outside. Many shoppers note that these shorts wash well, and they've been a perfect vacation staple for those headed to the beach. Available in many colors and patterns, they are casual and comfortable, but still make you look like you put in some effort while picking out your outfit. During spring and summer (and honestly, all year in my opinion), tiered skirts are the way to go with their flowy, breezy design. This Lyrur maxi skirt is simple, fun, and an easy way to add some pizazz to your vacation looks. Available in so many bright colors and prints, the elastic waistband allows it to fit as high or low on your body as you'd like, while the A-line design provides maximum flow and movement. Crop tops, lacy camis, and bandeau tops would all work well paired with it. Light, breathable, and fashionable, these linen palazzo pants are just what you need for easy day-to-night outfits on your next trip. With a stylish wide leg, you can keep them casual with the included corded waistband or dress them up with your favorite belt. Pick up a pair in one of the many neutrals available, or opt for a more exciting color like the stunning peacock blue. Plus, you can get these pants for up to 50 percent off, making them as little as $17 in select colors. This loose-fit jumpsuit is breathable and can work in nearly any situation: over a bathing suit for a cute boat day look, with a pair of heels and statement jewelry for dinner, or with a T-shirt and sneakers for a walking tour of whatever city you land in next. Available in nine colors, you can certainly find the right hue for your wardrobe. Plus, the adjustable straps allow you to get the right fit, and the soft linen-blend fabric will keep you cool and comfortable in the hot summer months. Get it for just $20 while it's on sale for summer. One of the most important closet staples is a classic linen button-down shirt. Great to wear unbuttoned as a beach cover-up or buttoned as a stylish shirt on its own, a linen button-down is always a good idea to include in your suitcase. You can buy this striped Amazon-favorite one on sale for just $26 (keep in mind that the sale price varies based on the size and color). Shoppers found this shirt to be made of good quality material and comfortable enough to wear on hot summer days. Love a great deal?

My dad is suffering in the heatwave: Here are 5 products I recommend he buys to keep cool
We're all feeling a bit hot under the collar right now. The barometer's on overdrive and the brave among us may be thinking about sleeping in our refrigerators (PSA: don't do that - this is sarcasm). My dad is struggling too, and he's asked me to recommend a few products to help him keep his cool in the heatwave. Here are the 5 ideas I've come up with. A cooling fan is possibly the first thing we think of to cool us down in the heat, apart from an iced cold drink — that's coming later. But what puts me off the idea is the thought of having an unattractive appliance stationed in my living room, home office, or bedroom all summer. And, as a home writer, I instinctively want to find an attractive appliance. My dad was also looking for a cooling fan that wouldn't look out of place in his home and would blend into his interior's aesthetic. With this in mind, I came up with my best solution, Dyson's Cool Bladeless fan. Although, there is a downside. It's only available in the U.K, for £249 at Dyson. While this is fine for my dad, I wanted to find a cooling fan that's available in the U.S. So, as an alternative to the Dyson, I'd recommend Shark's TurboBlade Fan, which is $299 at Amazon. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. One of the best features of the Shark TurboBlade is that it has two arms that can be adjusted. This means is can blow air in different directions — now that's a cool idea in a heatwave. This Shark TurboBlade Fan is ultra customizable and can pivot, twist and oscillate, circulating and propelling air up to 80ft. The angle and direction can be changed to find the perfect cooling position and it has 10 power levels. Plus, it even has an Air Blanket Model, for smoothing sleep. When you're out for an adventure on a hot summer's day, there's definitely one thing you can't be without. You need to keep your drinks and food chilled. When your thirst needs quenching, you'll want to reach for an ice-cool beverage rather than a lukewarm refreshment. Although I'd opt for a larger, hard-cased cooler like the Ninja FrostVault Cooler, which is awarded 4.5 stars in our best cooler buying guide, my dad doesn't need anything as large as 45 quarts. He'd be better off with the Yeti Hopper M15. It's a soft cooler with a small capacity that will hold 32 cans. Don't worry, he won't go thirsty and there's still plenty of room for his cheese and pickle sandwiches! There's plenty of colorways to choose from, including King Crab — it's bright orange and a hefty $399 at Amazon. But, if you'd prefer to go under the radar and camouflage is your thing, the Olive colorway will fit the bill, and it's currently reduced to $240 at Amazon. Many of us enjoy coffee, whatever the weather, but when the temperature rises, it's refreshing to switch to a cold brew rather than a steaming cup of joe. But rather than relying on a coffee shop iced beverage, you can make your own at home and forego the expensive and the lure of the sugar-laden syrups. To make this all easier, Nespresso has created the Nomad Iced Coffee Cup, but it's proved so popular it quickly goes out of stock. Millie Fender, Managing Editor, Homes, has tried the 18-oz capacity reusable cup and says it's helped her survive the sweltering heat of her commute this summer. What's more, she tested the spill-proof cup by tipping it upside down to see if it will survive a chaotic car journey. While my dad doesn't frequent many coffee shops nowadays, or commute, he'd certainly benefit from the Nomad Tumbler, whether he makes it up to enjoy at home or to take on a car journey. And although it's tricky to get hold of, thanks to Nespresso's collab with Samra Origins, it's currently available as a limited version at for $25. The Nespresso iced tumbler is spill-proof, dishwasher-safe, and infinitely reusable. The limited-edition Samra Origins colorway also comes with fun illustrations along the bottom of the cup. While I don't advocate surviving solely on this sweet treat all summer, it's an indulgence that helps keep us cool. It provides a cooling sensation in the mouth, even if it doesn't reduce our core temperature. My dad is a glutton for ice cream, so recommending an ice cream maker is right up his street. And if he hears the word 'Ninja,' I know he's going to swipe it up, whatever it is! That's why I recommend the Ninja Creami, as it not only makes customized ice cream but also allows you to enjoy sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, and smoothies. What's more, it's currently on sale with a 13% discount at Amazon for $199. I'm looking forward to popping over to sample what he makes, and I'm definitely going to recommend he adds Biscoff to his mix! If ice cream isn't your thing, you could try the Ninja Slushi instead — it's a frozen drinks maker that will provide the chill without the cream, and it's currently $329 at Amazon. The Ninja Creami lets you make delicious frozen desserts from the comfort of your home — and we're not just talking about ice cream. This 7-in-1 machine can whip up sorbet, milkshakes and more with little to no prep and the simple push of a button. My dad's backyard is exposed to full sun, so although he already has a pergola with a bench, he needs a large parasol to provide added protection. It will also give me a shady spot to sit while I enjoy all that ice cream. Rather than having a parasol that's more suitable to be used with a table, he'd benefit from a hanging offset umbrella that gives him more flexibility.
