ALTHOUGH THE CALENDAR SAYS SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN, WE KNOW BETTER.  THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF TIME TO LOUNGE POOLSIDE, AND THESE HOT PRODUCTS WILL HELP KEEP YOU COOL IN THE PROCESS.

1. Tiki Hut Beverage Dispenser
So the Tiki Hut Beverage Dispenser may not
exude class, but in 110-degree heat, margaritas will
probably be on your mind more than appearances. Here, the dispenser fills the bill, and paired with some bamboo tiki torches and coconut glasses, your backyard patio suddenly becomes the South Pacific… or something close to it. Available at Target stores across the Valley and at Target.com, $25.

2. Doctor T’s Supergoop
Though summer may be ending soon, danger from sun exposure is still going strong. Slather on some protection with Doctor T’s Supergoop, a product that’s just as fun to say as it is to use. The SPF 30, aloe vera-based lotion is sweatproof, water- resistant, non-greasy and packed with vitamins, and is dermatologist-approved for children and toddlers. Available at Super-goop.com, $48-$168.

3. Karlskrona Lounge Chair
One can’t imagine Swedish summers getting too warm. Nevertheless, Scandinavian designer Karl Malmvall and Ikea have developed the handwoven Karlskrona lounge chair, the perfect rattan throne from which to enjoy the summer’s waning days by the pool. An optional HÄSTÖ headrest is available to sweeten the deal. Available at Ikea in Tempe or Ikea.com, $169.

4. Indian Stripe Summer Hammock
If even sitting upright requires too much energy for those lazy summer Sundays, relax with the Indian Stripe Summer Hammock. Alight with fade-resistant colors and softer than its rope-net brethren, this hammock will be your new favorite napping spot. Plus, its capacity of 500 pounds means you can share the space for some summer snuggling. Available at Smith & Hawken in Scottsdale or at smithandhawken.com, $349.
