After a hard-worked summer of some serious #adulting, it’s time stock up on the basic items you’ll need this Labor Day. These essentials — all available on Amazon for less than $20 — are perfect for Labor Day Weekend, whether you plan on being on the beach, at a barbecue or on your couch just catching up on Netflix. Plus, they won’t break your budget.

Cute Hat: $9

Whether it’s to keep the sun off your face on the beach or to hold your hair back on a windy sailboat, a cute hat is a must. It’s truly an essential item to have at home at all times. You never know when you’ll need it, especially on Labor Day Weekend.

Trendy Tote: $15

From your towel to your flip-flops to a change of clothes for the barbecue later after the beach, a simple tote bag is essential for carrying your life around on Labor Day Weekend. Plus, you can never have too many, especially at this price!

Insulated Wine Glass: $13

Your drink will stay hot or cold for hours with a stainless steel wine glass. Use it all weekend long, whether that’s on your couch for a night in with your cat or the Sunday Funday party with your friends. Just pick up a bottle of your favorite affordable wine and you’ll be good to go!

Simple Sunglasses: $9

Take note: Always have a spare pair of budget-friendly sunglasses at the ready. They’re great for wearing to concerts, festivals or even on a bumpy boat ride — basically anytime there’s a chance you could lose them.

Dry Shampoo: $7

Long weekends call for dry shampoo. From Friday’s after-work happy hour to Saturday’s pool-side shindig, plus barbecues on Sunday and Monday, who has time to actually wash and dry their hair, especially in the end-of-summer, Labor Day heat? Not us.

Sunscreen: $9

There are some amazing sunscreens to keep your skin safe, but Swirled’s live editor swears by this one from Neutrogena. Always an essential, sunscreen is an easy item to carry at all times in case you need a little extra protection from those harsh rays.

Scrunchies: $10

Use them to hold your hair back or just wear them around your wrist. Either way, scrunchies are back in style. Stock up before Labor Day Weekend because this is one essential you don’t want to be without.
