Primary Long-Sleeve Rash Guard — Staff FavoriteDeal price: $11 for new customers with promo code AFF20PCT; street price: $18

What we like: A lighter-feeling, full-coverage kids' rash guard our staff swears by. Thinner and silkier texture is especially good for warmer climates. Patterns not as gender-specific as many little-kid clothing lines.

Other things to know: Available in children's sizes 2–12 and a rainbow of colors. New customers can use code AFF20PCT to get deal price. Doesn't quite match previous lows, but within $5.

What we like: Our large, insulated lunch box pick is perfect for larger meals or beach day snacks. Design features include contrasting color accents and rounded curves. Insulation keeps food cold.

Other things to know: Due to larger size, it’s best for those willing to carry their lunch box on its own or those who can throw it in the backseat of a car. Available in select colors.
