Memorial Day is not only the first offical day of summer, it also kicks off barbecue season, pool parties and general lounging in the sun. Which is why you'll want to have this Remote Control Snack and Drink Pool Float on hand come May 26.

This caddy is like having a butler for your pool. Load it up with the works (up to five beverages, plus chips, pretzels and other snacks), then drive it out to the swimmers. You stay dry; they don't have to get out of the pool. Or be like me and just use it for your own personal enjoyment by having someone else stock it while you float around. Give it to your summer host/hostess (it's a gift you'll enjoy equally as much) or as a housewarming gift to new pool owners.

Remote Control Snack and Drink Pool Float starting at $49.95
