Ah, summer. Everything feels a little easier with more vitamin D coursing through your veins.
The extra pizazz in your step makes now the perfect time to try new things. Like the ones you’ been hummed and hawed over all winter.
Luckily, the e-commerce gods are smiling down on us and ready to provide plenty of options. Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter are raising more money than ever for innovative products.
There are a ton of brands popping up with unique offerings that allow us to live a little differently. These brands are pushing boundaries in their industries with products perfect for summer.
1. ButcherBox
Subscription boxes are all the rage right now. Nothing beats the convenience of hand-selected goodies delivered straight to your home. ButcherBox is pushing the trend even farther.
They’ve combined the subscription box model with the highest quality meat products.
Imagine monthly deliveries of grass-fed beef, heritage breed pork, and organic pastured chicken. Right to your door, and perfect for BBQ weather!
ButcherBox developed from a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015. Today, they’ve already delivered two million ethically-sourced meals.
With ButcherBox, you get a 8-11 pounds of delicious, ethical meat delivered right to your door — ready to throw on the grill.
2. Standard
What pairs best with a beautiful grilled pork chop? A gorgeous glass of rosé, of course. Standard is bringing summer wine tasting to a whole ’nother level. They’ve created individual servings of wine in lovely, personalized bottles.
Available in red, white, and their latest release: the USUAL rosé. Each bottle contains a generous 6.3oz pour of 100% small batch Santa Barbara wine. All their wine is sustainably farmed and produced right here in the US of A.
And the rosé is as delicious as it is Instagram-able. Connoisseurs will appreciate bright notes of strawberry, rose petal, and rhubarb.
Loungers will love leaning back with Standard’s limited edition pool drink float (you get one when you buy the rosé!). Order the USUAL limited release first vintage now — hurry, it’s a small batch that won’t last long.
3. FastBlast
Intermittent fasting is a dieting method that focuses on when you eat rather than what you eat. It’s also already one of the trendiest diets of the year.
Intermittent fasting can help with weight loss, focus, and energy. Eat what you want when you’re not fasting so you don’t miss out on all those delicious summer treats!
FastBlast wanted to create a way to make intermittent fasting easier. They support intermittent fasting by providing fasters with delicious energy-boosting smoothies. Read: no more hangries!
Plus, users only have to fast two days a week, which makes working towards that dream beach body even easier.
4. Bakblade
This one’s for all my people out there with the hairy backs. Their t-shirt never quite meets their skin. They feel a little uncomfortable taking that shirt off at the neighborhood pool.
Bakblade is here to help.
The company has developed a back shaving device that you can use yourself, no help required. The tool, which looks like a back scratcher, takes only five minutes to use for a smooth, easy shave.
With a perfect five star rating on Amazon? The proof is in the pudding. Bakblade has already kept half a million people well groomed.
5. Ecohome
Summer temperatures keep trending upward year after year. Staying cool indoors is becoming a costly challenge.
Don’t air condition your whole pay check away. Ecohome tackles the biggest complaint caused by rising temperatures: high electricity bills. Once installed, Ecohome users save a whopping 20-40% off their power bill each month.
It cuts energy usage by controlling the biggest energy hog in AC units — the compressor. Think of it like cruise control for the unit. Ecohome is easy to install and doesn’t need any pre-programming.
Plus, it’s endorsed by contractor-extraordinaire (and all-around nice guy) Mike Holmes. Who doesn’t trust the voice of reason behind Holmes On Homes?
6. 4Patriots

The 72-Hour Food Supply serves as an easy, lightweight way to bring food along with you on any trip. Each pack contains 16 separately-packaged servings of delicious survival food.
