If you think you're too old for water guns, then you're wrong. Actually, you might be right – but that doesn't mean they're not still bloody brilliant.

6 Adult Lazy Spa With Digital Controller If something's worth it, the hurdle of price seems to magically disappear. This amazing invention is certainly an example of that as, with a price tag of £489.99, we'd sell our shins to be able to get one. Its heated, has a water filtration system and comes with a DVD filter and chemical floater (ok, ok – we don't know what they are either). Basically, you and 5 mates can lounge in a spa whilst controlling things without having to move an inch. That's a sentence Itchy likes. Buy here
CES30 Deluxe Wireless Splash-Proof Loudspeakers If you're going to be lazing in water or having raucous BBQs you're going to need speakers that won't disintegrate at the first hint of water (or beer). Try these for size this summer – not only are they protected from all those spillages, but they're sleek and stylish too. With a robust design and sound, these cylindrical friends will be worth it with their price tag. Buy here
Solar Powered Juice Bag No one wants to waste the summer sun – it's scarce as it is, so when it does appear we really ought to be harnessing it. Enter: a 7 Watt flexible solar panel bag that will charge your handheld devices whilst you roam about. Imagine free, clean energy wherever you are. Never be without your iphone or music players again. Oh, and being a bag, it holds stuff as well. Handy, that. Buy here
Air Conditioned Shirt Now, you might think that to make an air conditioned shirt you just cut holes in your clothing. Think again. This is a USB powered gadget that needs some scrutiny. It has two fans on the left and right sides of the back that take in air to cleanse away the sweat. There's also an external switch on the USB cable to adjust the fan speed in case the weather abates. Batteries are also an option if you don't have USB capabilities. Don't know about you, but we think this should be essential wear in schools and offices across the land. Every man women and child should be gently humming with the industrious sound of a cooling personal aircon system. Buy here
Laptop Tent If you think you're the only thing that needs shelter from the rain and the sun then you're being plain selfish. Sod you and your mates, what about your laptop? Offering 'privacy, security and protection from the elements, but most of all, computer screen visibility outdoors in the daytime,' this mini-house is available in 4 varieties which should keep any laptop happy in its surroundings. Buy here
Swimmers Mp3 Player You can get these amphibious wonderments from various sources, each boasting various assets and wearing different price tags. Overall, however, they let you listen to your favourite tunes whilst you swim. I expect 'Wet Wet Wet' might be a good album to upload (sigh). Anyway, these would be a good gift for anyone who can't bare to be away from their music – even when they're taking a dip. Buy here

If you're driving – not to worry because theres a cup holder at your knees in case you get thirsty delivering to your mates. Buy here
Bespoke Bbq Branding Tool Our meat is branded when its roaming around, minding its own business and eating grass. So why not brand it when its sizzling on a bed of hot coals?

Anything can be set onto the tool – so get creative. At £14.99, this could be valuable in the long run. Buy here
La Siesta Carribbean Hammock If you cant afford a holiday – why not re-create that relaxing beach scene with your very own free standing hammock.

Call for a mojito and grab some Zs in style.
