My 19 Hot Costco Summer Finds [inc. a $5 Designer Item!]

I just came back home from a Costco run. Let me tell you, summer has arrived at Costco. I have so many fabulous new finds to share with you today!

And it’s all Costco, so you know the price is a bargain and the quality is great. All you have to do is figure out your budget and have fun. At least, that’s what I did today.

Please note that the following is based on my own opinions. No one is paying me to promote these, and I’m not trying to sell you anything. Just sharing my genuine impressions and the items I liked the most. I’m hoping this will help you if you’re looking to get one of these items. Hurry up because these are limited-time bargains that will disappear as we progress into summer.

I saved the best one for last. It’s not something I’m going to be buying this summer, but boy, how I wish I could. And if you can budget for it, it’s guaranteed to make your house a party magnet! Oh, and don’t miss out on the awesome Tony Bahama lights for just $5 per sturdy light fixture!

19. Classic Igloo Cooler – $39.99

If you don’t have a great cooler yet, here’s your chance to grab one this summer, in time for 4th of July celebrations or days out on the beach. I love that it’s large (62 quarts) and sturdy. Fortunately, it has wheels. I definitely would not want to be carrying this around without them.

According to the sticker, this fully insulated ice box can hold ice frozen for up to five days. But even if you’re like me and will mostly use it for a BBQ in your backyard, it’s just great when you’re entertaining a large number of people and need to keep a lot of drinks ice cold. It’s one of those basic items every household needs, and Costco offers it at a fantastic price.

18. EcoMax Misting Fan – $114.99

I know, I know, it seems a bit pricey for a fan, right? But if you look closely, you’ll see why. This isn’t just any old fan. It’s one of those fans that come with a built-in bucket. Add water, and the fan will throw a cooling mist all around to cool off your guests.

Also, you can plug it in or use the rechargeable batteries (included). The latter option means you can take it with you for outdoor picnics. That’s pretty useful for a fan!

17. Shark Turbo Bladeless Tower Fan – $239.99

Still in the fan department, this one is one of those ultra-sophisticated fans. It can swivel, rotate, pivot, you name it. And it throws air both horizontally and vertically to a distance of up to 80 feet. I don’t know about you, but I’m impressed. Fortunately, our a/c is pretty awesome, but if it weren’t, I’d be grabbing one of those today.

16. Big Joe Kona Hammock Pool Float – $39.99

Now this is what I call a pool game-changer! The Big Joe Kona Hammock Float takes lounging in the water to a whole new level. At $39.99, you’re getting what might be the most comfortable pool float ever designed.

What makes this special is the hammock-style design with that supportive headrest – no more awkwardly trying to keep your head above water or slipping off a basic raft. The fast-drying mesh fabric means you’re not sitting in a puddle when you get out, and the best part? No air needed. Just toss it in the pool and you’re ready to float.

15. Cascade Mountain Tech Water Sports Noodle – $21.69

Okay, this isn’t your average pool noodle! At first glance, $21.69 might seem steep for what looks like a simple float, but Cascade Mountain Tech has completely reimagined this summer staple.

This thing is built like a tank. Chlorine and UV resistant with a triple-dip vinyl coating that’s designed for lakes, rivers, and pools. This is the investment piece for anyone tired of buying cheap pool noodles that disintegrate. One quality noodle that’ll outlast a dozen cheap ones? That’s actually smart money.

14. Tommy Bahama Beach Umbrella with Anchor System – $34.99

This is exactly what you need for serious beach days! Tommy Bahama doesn’t mess around when it comes to beach gear, and this umbrella proves it. At $34.99, you’re getting way more than just shade.

The game-changer here is the anchor system. No more chasing your umbrella down the beach when the wind picks up. This thing is designed to actually stay put, which anyone who’s spent time at the beach knows is worth its weight in gold. The beautiful blue wave pattern gives it that classic coastal vibe that screams “vacation mode.”

13. Body Glove 2-Person Canopy Lounge – $89.99

Check this out, at $89.99, you’re getting what’s basically a private cabana that floats. The built-in canopy is what makes this special – finally, a pool float that lets you actually relax without getting fried by the sun.

Body Glove knows water sports, so you can trust this thing is built to last. The removable canopy means you can customize your sun exposure, and the whole setup is way more stable than those flimsy inflatable loungers that flip you into the water every time someone creates a wake.

12. Hobie Polarized Sunglasses – $29.99

Perfect timing for summer! These Hobie polarized sunglasses at $29.99 are an absolute steal. Hobie has been making quality water sports gear for decades, so you know these aren’t just throwaway sunglasses.

The polarization makes these worth it – no more squinting through glare when you’re on the water, driving, or just trying to enjoy a sunny day. The silver mirror finish looks sharp and helps cut down on bright light even more. I love that they come with that nice protective case so that you won’t be fishing broken sunglasses out of your beach bag.

11. Two huge Insulated Tumblers With Straws – $13.99

That is an excellent price for this quality. I mean, I’d expect to pay around $10 for a good tumbler of this size, and we’re getting two for $14. That’s what I call a great deal. I love the colors too. You can choose pastels or a more serious black, white, and blue.

10. Tupperware Heritage Pitcher & Tumbler Set – $29.99

I had to do a double-take on this price! A complete Tupperware pitcher and tumbler set for under $30? That’s practically unheard of for the brand that basically invented quality food storage.

The colors are absolutely gorgeous. Those soft pink and sage green options are so on-trend right now. What I love most is that everything is dishwasher safe and BPA-free, so you get that classic Tupperware durability without any of the old concerns.

9. Outdoor Rocking Chair – $199.99

Now this is what I call a porch upgrade! This isn’t one of those flimsy plastic rockers that’ll crack after one season. We’re talking about a solid, weather-resistant rocking chair that actually looks like furniture you’d want on your front porch or patio.

The dark finish gives it a classic, timeless look that’ll work with pretty much any outdoor decor. And at $199, you’re getting the kind of quality that usually costs way more at furniture stores. I’ve seen similar rockers priced at $300+ elsewhere.

8. Sunvilla Chaise Lounges – Starting at $169.99

Talk about poolside luxury! These Sunvilla chaise lounges are exactly what your backyard has been missing. You’ve got two great options: the woven chaise lounge at $189.99 and the sling chaise lounge at $169.99.

What I love about both is that they’re built with commercial-quality materials. The woven version has a gorgeous textured look that screams “resort vibes,” while the sling version offers a clean, modern aesthetic. Both have no-rust aluminum frames and all-weather construction, so you won’t be dragging them inside every time it rains.

7. Melino Acacia Wood Chair – $59.99

A solid acacia wood chair for under $60? That’s incredible value for real hardwood furniture. What makes this special is the acacia wood construction. This isn’t particleboard or cheap pine. Acacia is known for being naturally weather-resistant and durable, which is why it’s become so popular for outdoor furniture.

No assembly required. Just take it out of the box and you’re done. At $59.99, you’re getting furniture that would easily cost $100+ at regular retailers. The fact that it’s designed for both indoor and outdoor use makes it incredibly versatile – perfect for a breakfast nook, covered porch, or even as extra seating around a fire pit.

6. Wicker Patio Swing with Canopy – $599.00

The wicker weave gives this swing that upscale resort look, while the navy canopy provides real shade protection (not just decoration). What really sold me is how sturdy the frame looks – this isn’t going to wobble or creak every time you sit down. The proportions are perfect for two people to actually relax comfortably, whether you’re sharing morning coffee or evening cocktails.

At $599, you’re getting what would easily cost $800+ at regular furniture stores. Plus, think about it – this basically creates an outdoor room. It’s like adding square footage to your living space, except it comes with a gentle rocking motion and fresh air.

5. JisuLife Neck Fan 2-Pack – $34.99

Personal neck fans used to be those awkward, bulky things that made you look like you were wearing some kind of medical device. These JisuLife ones? They’re actually sleek and lightweight.

You’re getting serious value at $34.99 for a two-pack. Under $18 per fan. The hands-free design means you can wear it while gardening, walking the dog, or even just doing chores around the house. With five speed settings and up to 18 hours of run time, you won’t be constantly charging them.

I love that they come in a 2-pack because let’s be honest – once you try one, you’ll want a backup, or you’ll want to share with your partner. They’re rechargeable, lightweight, and way more practical than carrying around a handheld fan all summer.

4. Tommy Bahama LED Solar Path Lights – $29.99 (just $5 a piece!)

Here’s a deal that caught my eye immediately – Tommy Bahama solar path lights with an instant $10 rebate, bringing them down to $29.99. Just $5 per high-quality lighting fixture! That’s quality outdoor lighting at a fraction of what you’d usually pay for the Tommy Bahama name.

You’re getting six solar path lights that automatically turn on at dusk and run for up to 8 hours. What I love most is the “set it and forget it” factor – no wiring, no electricity bills, just stick them in the ground and let the sun do the work. The die-cast aluminum construction means these aren’t the flimsy plastic solar lights that break after one storm.

3. Orvis Men’s Tech Hat – $9.99

This may be the steal of the day! Orvis outdoor gear at $9.99? That’s practically unheard of. These tech hats normally retail for way more, and there’s a $3 instant rebate bringing them down to this crazy low price.

What makes these special isn’t just the Orvis name. It’s all the thoughtful features packed into one hat. UPF 50+ sun protection, quick-dry fabric for all-day comfort, and it even floats (perfect for fishing or boating). The adjustable chin strap and sweatband mean it actually stays put during outdoor activities, and there’s a hidden secure pocket with velcro closure for small essentials.

2. Rain Showers & Flow Water Table – $72.99

This is the kind of purchase that saves your sanity during hot summer days! The Step2 Rain Showers & Flow Water Table at $72.99 is basically backyard entertainment that runs itself. Kids can pour water in the top and watch it flow through multiple levels, creating different water effects. Great for keeping little ones busy and away from screens.

It comes with 15 accessories, including scoops, cups, and little characters, so there’s plenty to keep multiple kids busy. The rain shower feature on top adds an extra element that makes it feel like a mini water park.

1. A Gazebo With a Built-in Bar – $1599.97

Finally, this is the item that made me stop in my tracks. It isn’t your typical backyard gazebo. It’s a complete outdoor entertainment center that’ll make your neighbors seriously jealous. The Yardistry Cantina Gazebo has a built-in bar counter and matching bar stools. Throw in some LED lighting and turn your patio into Party Central.

The FSC-certified wood construction means it’s built to last through seasons of backyard BBQs and summer cocktail hours. For under $1,600, you’re getting what would cost thousands if you hired contractors to build custom. And it ends with .97 – a tip for avid Costco fans.

That’s a wrap on my summer Costco finds! I hope this gives you some inspiration for your own shopping trip. Remember, these seasonal items tend to disappear fast, so if something caught your eye, don’t wait too long to grab it. And leave me a comment to let me know which were your favorite Costco summer items this year!
