Believe it or not, summer is almost here. While the summer solstice isn’t until June 21, kids are only weeks away from finishing up the school year, and warmer weather is slowly creeping in — which means it’s time for you to start thinking about summertime cookouts and trips to the beach. 

The latest drinkware to hit the shelves of Dollar Tree is the most budget-friendly way to make all of your summer gatherings feel like special occasions. In a recently posted Instagram Reel, @lifeessentials81 shared some absolutely adorable brightly colored plastic drinkware. The items are just $1.25 each, so it’s hard to resist buying multiples in every color ASAP.

Spotted at Dollar Tree Locations across the South, the iridescent, colorful cups come in both short and tall varieties and a wide range of hues, including light green, teal, bright blue, and red. They’re much safer for outdoor use than drinkware made of glass, and they’re so cute it might be hard to notice the difference anyway. 

In addition to the cheerful glasses, Dollar Tree also debuted some other kitchen finds, like water bottles and tumblers in a wide range of colors and styles that are also just $1.25 each. These to-go options are great to take with you when you’re running errands or going on longer trips and flights.

If you’re not able to get to a Dollar Tree store, or your nearest location doesn’t yet have these cute cups, don’t worry: You can buy some on Amazon, which has a six-pack of colorful drinking glasses that are also “unbreakable.” The only catch is that the Amazon cups are a bit more expensive (although with Amazon Prime’s two-day shipping they might be the easier option).

Whether you head to Dollar Tree or add these colorful glasses to your Amazon cart ASAP, you’ll be set for entertaining outdoors all season long — and your guests will love the festive, summertime feel.
