As the Australian summer heats up, there's no better way to celebrate than by hosting a splash-filled, sun-soaked pool party with friends and family. Creating the right atmosphere is key to an unforgettable event, and having the perfect essentials can make all the difference.
Sun Protection and Style
Protecting your skin is non-negotiable under the harsh Australian sun. The INIKA Organic Tinted Natural Sunscreen SPF50+ 50mL offers broad-spectrum, water-resistant protection. Priced at $59, its mineral formula is lightly tinted to even skin tone and contains pink algae and jojoba oil to smooth texture and reduce the appearance of sun damage.
For the little ones, the Bonds Kids Swim Long Sleeve Rashie provides UPF 50+ protection. Available in Beach Stripe Mustard and Ride the Wave colours, it costs $34.99. Bonds is currently offering 25% off when you buy two kids' or baby products.
Complete their protection with Beaba Glee Baby Sunglasses ($59.95). Designed with input from optical specialists, they feature side shields and come in pink, powder green, or pearl blue.
Sound, Fashion, and Footwear
No party is complete without music. The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 portable speaker delivers powerful sound, a dynamic light show, and up to 15 hours of playtime. Originally $349.95, it's now available for $279.95 and includes microphone and guitar inputs for live performances.
For fashion, the H&M Loose Knit Beach Dress ($59.99) is an ankle-length, sleeveless option with a deep V-neck and high side slits. Made from 65% Livaeco viscose and 35% polyester, it comes in yellow or white.
Step out in style with the Havaianas Aqua Metallic Sandals from City Beach. These sandals, made from premium Brazilian rubber, cost $54.99. Use the code BOGO50 at checkout for 50% off, terms and conditions apply.
Fun and Practicalities for the Whole Family
Keep children entertained for hours with the Intex Dinoland Play Centre from Toymate. This water play set, now $99 down from $139, features a slide, wading pool, Dino Hoops, a Volcanic Ball Roller game, and a movable Dino Arch water spray.
For drying off, the Lane Linen 6 Piece Chambray Cotton Beach Towel Set from Temple & Webster is a versatile choice at $59.99. These fast-drying, 70% cotton towels can also be used as sarongs, tablecloths, or yoga mat covers.
With these essentials, your Perth pool party is set to be the highlight of the season. Remember to stay sun-safe, keep the music pumping, and enjoy the classic Australian summer fun.
