Attention, Target shoppers: The store just launched a new summer line called Sun Squad — and it’s everything we could have hoped for. There are pineapples and watermelons, flamingos and cacti, floats and coolers, and even something special for your doggo.

In total there are nearly 600 products, starting at $1.50, which are a combination of practical and playful. That’s so many products! So we’ve narrowed down the offerings to our very favorite 10.

Pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs — really what other food groups are there in summer? This 100% cotton towel will make you hungry and is perfect for lazing on while your (other) buns are out. We’re not talking about the hot dog and hamburger variety … if you know what we mean.

If you’re looking to splish and splash, but gah, you don’t have a pool, this citrus-themed blow-up is just the thing. It’s suitable for toddlers and up to you-know-who-you-are. Go ahead and soak your feet while you sip a glass of rose. #YOLO

If all the plants in your kitchen are dying, you’ll love this one, which you (most likely) can not kill. Plus, it’ll make you the coolest kid in the pool.

The rule when it comes to lawn games during a cookout: Keep it simple. And it doesn’t get simpler (or cuter!) than this better-than-basic yellow ball.

String lights are a summer patio essential and flamingos are STILL in. Really, they will never be out. Give your backyard bash a tropical feel with these light-up birdies.
