In my best efforts, I use reusable water bottles, though I tend to lose them around 6 months! So I’m due! What better way to rehydrate then with the summer photo personalized stainless steel water bottle. You can start with a blank template and customize up to 15 photos, or use one of Shutterfly’s existing templates and chose your style, photo and text.  Comes with a sealable lid and handle for easy grab-and-go. Pro tip: handwash only, do not microwave and intended for cold beverages.

4. Photo Beach Towels, $47, mpix.com

Mpix

I may officially be a plan-a-season-ahead-type person! I fell in love with these summer beach towels from mpix as you can do a full-bleed photo vertical or horizontally or choose from any of their really cute modern designs (where you can also have a choice of colors and add text if you want). You can pick your favorite outdoorsy fun summer capture and place it on the towel to then be used next summer, and make it a tradition! You’ll have pictures of your kids and family from summer to summer. Sweet, isn’t it?
