Top Five Ways to Beat the Heat

As the country is engulfed in a record-breaking heat wave, everyone’s talking about the best ways to stay cool. Check out MyRegistry.com‘s top picks for what you need to beat the heat--and hey, a few of these would also be fab items for your registry or bridal party gifts!

Hydrate like it's your job!
As far as health and safety is concerned, the best thing you can possibly do when temperatures rise is drink lots of water! Stay hydrated (and go green!) with one of these personalized water bottles (which also make great bridesmaids gifts)!

Keep those drinks cold!
Nothing hits the spot on a hot day like an ice-cold beer. Keep your drinks subzero with this awesome selection of coolers--which we bet your guy's groomsmen will love!

Head to the beach!
If you have to be outside in this weather, it had better involve water. Strut your stuff at the beach with one of these stylish bathing suits. This just in: it counts as a present for him too if he gets to rub sunscreen all over your bikini-clad bod!

Make your own ice cream!
Awesome date alert: cool off by making your own ice cream with one of these fun ice cream makers! Throw in all your favorite ingredients and create a flavor just for you. Kudos to whoever comes up with the most creative name!

Register for your wedding!
Somewhere between hot and sweltering, we lose all desire to go outside. The thought of leaving the house and trekking all the way to a department store to register for gifts is totally unappealing. Good thing you chose MyRegistry.com. Take an afternoon (or even a whole day!) to stay in, crank up the air conditioning and focus on your registry!
