Wirecutter - Last minute summer fun

Lékué Tropical Fruit Ice Pop Molds

Deal price: $15 | Street price: $19

Nothing compliments a long day outside like refreshing, homemade popsicles. Although these cute watermelon and pineapple molds don't come with a tray, each silicone pop comes with its own lid that makes for easy stacking in the freezer. They're also dishwasher-safe for quick clean up. But parents be warned: The reusable sticks don't have a drip catcher, so messes may ensue anyway.

Birkenstock Arizona EVA Sandals

Deal price: $38 | Street price: $45
With free shipping for Prime members

There's not much a good pair of Birkenstocks can't do: They're lightweight, durable, and affordable. Not to mention, they're made of ethylene-vinyl acetate material, so they're also waterproof and machine washable. So, whether you're seeking a new pair to take to the river this summer or donning them with a pair of stylish socks for cooler months ahead, a good pair of Birkenstocks will see you through it all. This deal is only available in white.

Black Diamond Sprinter 275 Headlamp

Deal price: $45 | Street price: $75

Evening runs can help you beat the heat this season, but you'll need a good headlamp to light the way and keep you safe. Comfortable and secure, the lightweight Black Diamond Sprinter features both a forward facing headlight and rear-mounted tail light. Although its 275-lumen white light isn’t as strong as our other picks, it’s enough to illuminate up to 15 feet on your path. The Sprinter also has an impressive battery life that will last over 13 hours before needing to be recharged.

Coleman Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Growler (64-ounce)

Deal price: $23 | Street price: $40

What better way to spend a warm summer afternoon than relaxing at a local brewery? A vacuum-insulated, double-wall growler is the best solution if your favorite brew doesn’t come in cans or bottles and you want to stock up. Our runner-up pick is an affordable growler that offers the best temperature retention. Testers found its small handle a little uncomfortable, and the entire vessel must be hand-washed, but the Coleman earned near-perfect scores for taste and fizziness.

ThermoWorks Smoke Probe Thermometer

Deal price: $74 | Street price: $104
Price includes shipping

Gather round grill and smoker enthusiasts! The ThermoWorks Smoke Probe is chock full of impressive features. It has two channels to accommodate multiple probes, and it can be remotely operated via a wireless receiver—meaning you can measure the temperatures of the meat and air inside your grill without opening it up. It’s pricier than our other picks, but it’s a great, feature-packed option for the brisket enthusiast in your life—especially on sale.

Star Wars: Outer Rim Board Game

Deal price: $41 | Street price: $51

Visit a galaxy far, far away this summer without leaving the comfort of your living room when you play Star Wars: Outer Worlds. Easy to learn and packed with nostalgia, this expansive and continuous board game is a well-balanced adventure that steers away from promoting cut-throat competitive gameplay (we’re looking at you, Risk). Instead, smugglers, scoundrels, and bounty hunters navigate the galaxy to complete tasks in search of “Fame.”
