Our Editor Swears By This Mosquito-Repelling Device—Plus 6 More Summer Products We’re Loving

The BHG editors share their favorite summer finds, from bug repellants to entertaining essentials.

Thermacell Mosquito Repellent

COURTESY OF THERMACELL

"The mosquitoes have been horrible this year and they made sitting outside for morning coffee or in the evening with a book unbearable. Enter the Thermacell device, which is compact and scent-less. It has worked so well and creates a 15 foot 'bubble' of mosquito-free area, which is perfect for my backyard deck."

KitchenAid Silicone Oven Mitts

COURTESY OF AMAZON

"I recently received these as a gift, and they've quickly become my new favorite kitchen accessory. Not only are they super cute (especially with the matching pot holders!), they're more practical than my old pair. I've caught a few pairs of fabric oven mitts on fire while taking pans out of the broiler, and I love that I don't have to worry about that with the silicone pair."

— Emily VanSchmus, Home Editor

Brumate Era Tumbler

COURTESY OF BRUMATE

"Stanley, move aside. I used to pride myself on not joining the expensive waterbottle bandwagon, but after much consideration (and convincing from my friends), I decided to purchase a Brumate 40 oz tumbler, and let me tell you, it is game-changing. This tumbler is perfect for summer and being on-the-go because it fits in car cupholders and has a leak-proof lock. You read that right—you can turn the tumbler upside down without a drop coming out."

— Claire Hoppe, Contract Editor

Rhode Pocket Blush

COURTESY OF RHODE

"How could I not mention the beauty drop of the summer? The packaging? Adorable. The creamy formula? Baby-soft and dewy. The shades? So versatile. My favorites are a signature Sabrina Carpenter glow with the color 'Piggy' or a bronzed look with 'Toasted Teddy.'"

— Ginger Perra, Social Media Editor

Charcuterie Board Set

COURTESY OF AMAZON

"I love to prepare meat and cheese boards for a light dinner in the summer, and this set has everything I need. Not only is the board itself super sleek, the set comes with dipping bowls, gold utensils, and pretty cheese knives. I love it so much it's become my go-to gift!"

— Emily VanSchmus, Home Editor

Peppermint and Juniper Berry Body Wash

COURTESY OF FLAMINGO ESTATE

"I am slightly obsessed with this shower wash from Flamingo Estate. I started using it to clear my sinuses during pollen-season and stuck with it regardless of the season—it’s so refreshing and invigorating, the perfect wake-me-up in the morning."

— Monika Eyers, East Coast Editor

White Ruffle Bowl

COURTESY OF CRATE AND BARREL

"I was gifted this beautiful serving bowl along with it's smaller counterpart and a serving platter from the same collection—but I find myself always reaching for this specific one more than the others. It is perfect for serving a crowd during a gathering, but it's neutral color and stunning "ruffles" make it my ideal centerpiece bowl for my dining table."
