Summer Essentials for Him in 2022

Summer is upon us, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. There’s plenty of work to be done, but there’s plenty of play as well. These hotter months mean more chances for fun in the pool, BBQs to show off your grilling skills and hopefully a chance or two to travel and just get away from the weight of the world and just breathe. We’ve found 10 of the best summer essentials that can make this summer a breeze.

Anker PowerCore 10000 Portable Charger

ByRiver Acupressure Foot Massage Slippers

For men with flat feet, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and general foot pain at the end of the day, these slippers are a lifesaver.

These slides are an easy way to relax and activate your feet anytime, especially after working long hours, hiking, or walking around the amusement park with the family.

It takes 1-2 weeks to get used to it gradually.
