Call it an Indian summer, call it borrowed time, but right now it feels like summer isn't quite ready to let go. And neither are we. The evenings are still golden, weekends still feel like mini holidays, and picky bits and a cool box are still staples for leaving the house.
And if sitting out late into the evenings, hosting garden parties, or squeezing in one more picnic before October, feels achievable this year, that's largely down to one brand doing some very heavy lifting. Everyone's been talking about Ninja's FrostVault Coolers. First it was the box, then the backpack, and now the bundles with one of their ChillPill fans, each one smarter and better thought-through than the last. Ninja didn't just make a cool box; they made cool boxes cool, turning what used to be a slightly grim garage staple into something people are using to refresh their garden.
