Stars, Stripes, and Prime Shipping: The Best Fourth of July Finds on Amazon
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: POOL FLOAT • COOLER • PITCHER • PLATE • PLACEMAT • KNIFE SET • CAMERA • FROZEN POPS • TUMBLER • CANDLE HOLDERS
This Fourth of July feels a little bigger than usual. As America celebrates its 250th birthday, it seems like the perfect excuse to lean into the festivities – whether that means hosting a backyard barbecue, heading to the lake, gathering friends for fireworks, or simply setting a beautiful table for family.
I’ve always believed the best celebrations come down to the details. A great set of gingham linens. Ice cream bowls for post-fireworks dessert. A few red, white, and blue accents mixed among your everyday favorites. The goal is less theme party and more festive celebration.
Amazon came through with plenty of finds that do exactly that. From patriotic pool floats and party games to entertaining essentials and tabletop finds so good (see: here and here) you’ll want to use them well beyond just the Fourth. And all of that plus the added bonus of Prime shipping!
Below, a peek at a few of my favorites from the lineup. Check out the full star-spangled shopping list here.
PAISLEY BANDANAS
A little Americana moment that feels charming rather than kitschy. Layer them into your tablescape and call it done.
WOVEN PLACEMATS
The easiest way to make a table feel Fourth of July-ready. At this price, I’d grab a few sets and call it a day.
WOODEN STACKING GAME
Consider this your backyard entertainment plan. Kids love it, adults get surprisingly competitive, and it looks festive sitting out all weekend.
CHEESE KNIFE SET
A chic little upgrade for your cheese board or a festive gift for your Fourth of July hostess.
RED & BLUE PLACEMATS
Love these! They look more expensive than their price tag suggests.
RATTAN HURRICANE CANDLE HOLDER
The kind of piece that works well beyond the Fourth. Add a candle, scatter a few down the table, and you’re done.
RED, WHITE & BLUE TABLECLOTH
Instant party starter. Throw it on the table and you’ve done about 90% of the decorating.
PATRIOTIC HAND TOWELS
A small detail that guests always notice. Equal parts festive and practical. Hot tip: order now and add a monogram for the finish touch.
MERCURY GLASS VOTIVES
Every table looks better by candlelight. These add a twinkling glow to a table.
COMMERCIAL SLUSHY MACHINE
For the host who’s committed to the assignment. Frozen margaritas, frosé, cherry limeade—you really can’t go wrong.
POOL FLOAT
A pool float, but make it patriotic. The quickest way to bring a little red, white, and blue to the pool.
