Question: Are you ready for Fourth of July weekend? Answer: Even if you said yes, you’re absolutely not. We’ll bet our stash of contraband fireworks that no matter if you’re hosting friends or visiting family, catching fireworks irl or tuning in on the flatscreen, there’s something you’ve forgotten to snag for the big day (and much bigger weekend).
No need to fear. Lest you forget, our fair nation is home to a little retailer by the name of Amazon. (Yay, America!) The online giant has everything you could have possibly forgotten, or didn’t realize you needed in the first place. From upgraded tech to backyard basics to entertainment for the whole family, Amazon truly has — rather scarily, too — everything you can legally buy online, all in one place. Even better, much of it will arrive well in time for the holiday weekend, granted that you place your order soon.
In the spirit of the holiday, we’ve scoured Amazon for everything and anything you could possibly need to nail this Independence Day weekend. Below, our top picks for your last-minute Fourth of July needs.
For the Kids: 2,000-Pack of Water Balloons
This massive bundle of water balloons ensures there will be no unexpected temper tantrums about who got the last throw.
For “The Kids”: CalmMax 16′ Recreational Trampoline
Anyone (and we mean anyone) can enjoy the thrill of bouncing around with this best-selling 16-foot trampoline from CalmMax.
For 4K Fireworks: Amazon Fire TV 50″ 4-Series 4K UHD Smart TV
With vivd, crystal clear quality and smart compatibility, the new Amazon Fire TV will make it feel like you’re watching the fireworks in person, rather than from the comfort of your own couch.
For the Backyard: Homall Outdoor Patio Furniture Set
An affordable four-piece option for sprucing up the deck.

Monument Grills has a whooping 683 square inches of cooking space, meaning that many more burgers and brats for everyone to scarf down.
For the Hosts: Chesapeake Bay Balance + Harmony Candle
It’s rude to arrive to the party empty-handed. A nice bottle of wine, or this equally nice scented candle, should do the trick.
For the Playlist: JBL CHARGE 5 Bluetooth Speaker

Make a splash!
For Drying Off: Amazon Basics Cabana Beach Towel 2-Pack
Amazon’s fluffy (and massive) beach towels are priced just right.
