Summer Vacation Curation: What We’re Packing for the Season Ahead

BrandsWalk Creative |
Summer moves differently. It’s slower, looser, and made for stretches of open time. Whether you’re heading out of town, into the mountains, or just across the street to your favorite shady park, a few thoughtful essentials can make every plan feel easier — and every unplanned moment more enjoyable. Here’s what we’re reaching for this season — a BrandsWalk edit for summer days, road trips, and rest.

🪵 For Slowing Down Outdoors

Nothing says "ready for summer" like a portable chair that actually feels good to sit in. The Snow Peak Take! Bamboo Chair Short combines natural wood with canvas and folds easily into a weekend bag. It’s our go-to for porch sitting, fire pits, and catching the last light at the end of the day.

Pair it with the All-In Sweet Mat Outdoor Blanket, which is compact, padded, and easy to shake off — picnic-tested and approved.

⌚ For Staying on Summer Time

A durable watch makes the day feel organized without overcomplicating anything. The G-SHOCK GA2100AS-2A blends function and color with a matte finish and water resistance — perfect for days that involve sun, sand, or anything unexpected.

Pair it with the Craighill Eyewear Chain — not the plastic kind you remember, but a clean, steel link design that turns sunglasses into a statement piece (and keeps you from losing them at the beach).

💧 For Staying Hydrated and Looking Fresh

The S’well Explorer 40oz Bottle with a flip straw lid is the kind of water bottle you’ll actually want to carry. It keeps cold drinks cold, fits in your hand, and helps you stay ahead of the heat.

And for the quick beauty refresh: MIXIK Glossy Lip Serum. Lightweight, hydrating, and subtly glossy — a clean addition to your bag for summer skin and dry air.

🧭 Wherever You’re Headed...

Summer doesn’t need to be busy to be memorable. With a few good pieces in your corner — a chair that folds flat, a water bottle that stays cold, a watch that works through it all — you’re ready for whatever this season brings.
