Summer Gifts That Make a Splash: Funny Toys, Pool Floats & Backyard Fun
Summer’s here, and while March is usually when we shine the spotlight on birthdays around here, who says we can’t keep the celebrating going? I’ve got a few special people with June birthdays, so I know how fun a summer celebration can be. Whether you’re heading to the cottage, having a backyard party, or just trying to survive the heat, Danna Bananas has fun finds.
Cottage & Camping Fun
Before you even get to the cottage, challenge your crew with the Road Trip Packing Puzzle - the ultimate way to warm up those brains for packing and planning. And when you need a break from the great outdoors, the Goat Yoga Party Game is the perfect quirky laugh to keep spirits high. Because who doesn’t want to stretch it out with pretend goats?
Summer Splash Zone
When the temperature soars ( https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/news/2025/06/environment-and-climate-change-canada-presents-summer-seasonal-outlook.html), it’s time to bring out the big fun. The Giant Flying Pig Pool Float will definitely turn heads at the lake or pool... because nothing says "summer" quite like a flying pig bobbing in the water. Or keep it a little swan like with the Giant Swan Pool Float - classic, chic, and ready for all your summer selfies.
For backyard fun that keeps kids and grown-ups cool and entertained, the Dinosaur Wiggle Wobble Splashy Sprinkler and Unicorn Wiggle Wobble Splashy Sprinkler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmB1Ur4-7F8 are pure magic. Watch them spin, splash, and spray - it’s like having your own mini water park, no line-ups required.
Summer Entertaining
If you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or a patio party, the Hand In Hand Cookie Cutters add a fun, sweet twist to your baking - cookies that literally hold hands! Serve your drinks in style with the retro 80s Decade Mug, perfect for iced tea on a sunny deck or morning coffee by the lake. And don’t forget the Easy as Pie Oven Mitt — because while pie might not be as easy as it sounds, it sure tastes amazing.
Summer Survival
When those summer heat waves hit, sometimes you need a little humor to help you through. The Menopause WTF Socks are a hilarious way to say, “I got this,” even when the heat... flashes match the outside temperature. And for the grill master or kitchen queen, the Welcome to My Cooking Show Oven Mitt lets you embrace your inner chef with flair- summer cooking show vibes, anyone?
