The summer season is in full swing and many of us are looking at the calendar and wondering: how can I make the coming weeks really count? We get it, it can be hard to strike the balance of taking a much-needed break without letting summer idly pass you by. Here are (RED)’s top picks for (RED) products to help you make lasting, heartfelt memories and seize the summer months with a sense of whimsy.

You’ve made it to the top of the mountain and you can feel your heartbeat pulsating through your chest, your shoulders, your calf muscles—you look down at your Apple Watch Series 9 (PRODUCT)ᴿᴱᴰ and see you have hiked 4.5 miles and your heart rate is 145 bpm. You smile… the trek back down can wait a little longer.

For the Cocktail Queens:

Summer is the little things: passing a margarita to your friend as you join them poolside and drape your legs into the shallow end, the electricity in the air, the days that bleed into nights, the cute sunglasses and the selfies of you and your friends making silly faces. Make summer fun. Make summer long. Pick up a bottle of (LOBOS 1707)ᴿᴱᴰ Tequila and a bag of ice—you’ve got some memories to make.

For the Indoor Cats:

You discovered you can slow down your summer by delighting in the details. Savoring the pour-over coffee and pump lo-fi jams while you fit a couple more pieces into the puzzle on the table. Relish in the small rituals of home life: water the plants, call mom, meditate by the window, grab a book and sink into the armchair. Fire up your (LEVOIT)ᴿᴱᴰ Core 400S Air Purifier and breathe deeply. For you, this is perfection.

For the Visual Storyteller:

You see the world through colors and angles and textures: a crook in the drainage pipe of an old beach shack, the impossibly purple bloom on an orchid in the community garden, the peeling paint of the church exterior. You are compelled to tell the stories of these scenes, so pop in a fresh battery, take the lens cap off, and introduce the world to your eyes through your (PANASONIC)ᴿᴱᴰ LUMIX S5M2 Full Frame Mirrorless Camera.
