Happy Memorial Day to those in the U.S.! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Today I wanted to announce a new ongoing feature for this summer. Most of us are still sheltering in place as much as we can, and I know that the summer months are going to look very different this year. Therefore, I wanted to start a Summer Staycation series where I highlight ways you can enjoy summer at home.
All I ask of you is to let me know what summer staples you’d like to find alternatives for – camp, vacation, movies, swimming, etc. Even if you already know of ways to enjoy summer at home, I’d still love ideas of things to focus on in my posts!
Now, I’m here today to share some fun items that you could use to get your Summer Staycation started! All of these are affiliate links, so any click and/or purchase benefits me a small percent at no extra cost to you! If, for some reason, the images below are giving you trouble, you can find my picks here.
This is such a great idea! I’ll be following this post to see what people come up with — back
I’m trying to settle on whether to sign up my kids for online camps! It’s going to be a strange one.
Wonderful list!! 🙂 My husband and I need to buy camp chairs… If you have any recommendations there, we’d love to hear them! My husband wants a nice and big one. He hates the little ones that you have to squeeze into!
I love the doodle mugs! They’re so cool.
This is a great guide! So many people have canceled or postponed their usual summer vacations, so they need to think of ways to have fun while staying safe at home!
OMG I was just saying I want a projector for summer night in the pool. Wouldn’t that be fun?
That would be amazing. DO IT!
Oh my gosh that snow cone maker! I used to have a little Snoopy one when I was a kid and I loved that thing! The Doodle mug is also so fun. And the version of Cinderella with Brandy is one of my favorites!
I love that version of Cinderella too. And you can’t go wrong with a Sno Cone Maker!
I have that s’mores maker and it works REALLY well!!! That Picnic Circular Folding Table looks like something I need. I love picnics!

Good to know about the s’mores maker, and I love all the fun picnic supplies!
Those TONYMOLY ones are so adorable! This post reminds me in the best way of the ‘gift your BFF’ sections in the teen magazines I used to read ?
Thanks! I love gift guides in magazines. I find such fun things.
Happy Summer!! I agree a great projector is a must-have for summer. We got ours on Amazon a few years back and do summer backyard movie nights often during the season. So, we will also have to check out some of the movies you shared above as we should be starting our first movie night any day now!! 🙂
ooh I hope you’ve been able to have a movie night or two since you posted!!
We have a projector. I think it would be so fun to have one of those big blow up screens to do movies under the stars at home!
That would be fantastic!
Hope you had a good Memorial Day!
That pale blue dress is stunning – missing summer so much right now! The lipstick looks so pretty.
That bucket list movie poster is awesome!
I love this idea! Definitely going to look into those lawn darts- I think that would be a lot of fun. I still need to see Brave… and Onward! I think it would be a fun project to check out and do the 100 movies too. Now I just have to wait until it’s back in stock! Great compilation!
Glad you found some things you liked! It looks like the 100 Movies Bucket List poster is back in stock.
I just signed up for Book of the Month club for my Summer treat 🙂
What a fun selection. I love the little sno cone machine!
Great gift suggestions! Thanks for sharing ?
Such a fun idea! We all need ways to enjoy our staycation right now. 🙂
This is such a great idea! I had planned to visit the beach this summer, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. I’m totally taking advantage of a staycation though!
This idea is amazing. Instead of us all sitting at home complaining we can’t do things we want to do in summer it’s great to be proactive and think of fun stay at home alternatives or what you can do in your local area. I feel like you’ve thought of everything with fun films to watch and the stuff to have snacks like popcorn with it! I’m heartbroken I won’t get to sunbathe by a pool this summer, I was hoping for a nice beach holiday this year, maybe I’ll get myself a paddling pool and sit next to that pretending I’m away. I never actually swim in the pool anyway, just need to dip my toes in.
The beach!
We are all going to have “muchisimo” opportunities for summer styactions this year for sure.
I have trolled facebook marketplace and have found a trampoline for $75 and a 15 foot 52 inch deep pool for free. This will be our summer fun. We are going to love where we live and enjoy our own backyard! Thanks for linking up to #traffijcamweekend ~Tracy
Those are some awesome finds! It’s good to enjoy your home.
