Packing up for a long weekend at a lake or beach house? Don’t skip town without this lightweight, water-resistant, solar-powered portable speaker that doubles as a colorful light. It’s controlled via Bluetooth and lasts up to 24 hours, with 4.5 hours of speaker play. If you don’t charge it in the sun, you can add some juice with the included micro-USB port. Even better, it can also charge your cell phone if you’re in a bind—say, if you’re boating and don’t have a spare charger.
