This portable neck fan with USB charge will save your summer! Now on sale
Browsing through the early Prime Day deals on Amazon and looking for some camp care package gifts for my kids, I came across a deal that was made for me: The hands-free, USB-charged neck fan I have been craving for ages. After sitting through the hottest, sweatiest, no-AC theater performance at my daughter's school, I saw a fellow mom wearing one and briefly considered falling on my knees and begging to borrow it for the second act. Instead, I just asked her where she got it, and she pointed me to this one. Some purchases may generate a small commission to support our work at no additional cost to you.

Portable neck fan with USB charge on sale on Amazon It looks a lot better in person than this weird photoshopped image, promise

Right now, the neck fan 36% off, so it's down to $25 instead of $40. With nearly 4,800 5-star ratings -- plus one from another always-hot mom of a certain age (ahem) -- I'm sold. In fact, mine is arriving tomorrow. I may never leave home without it again. Portable USB charge fan on sale at Amazon Should you prefer a portable fan that you don't wear around your neck, I also spotted this SmartDevil portable USB fan for $15.99. It comes in a few colors, and it's smart-looking in that black and woodgrain finish too. So convenient for travel, or just sitting in a too-hot coffee shop working on my laptop this summer. Alternately, there's a small portable clip-on SmartDevil fan designed for strollers, but it's not just for strollers. Because of that flexible, octopus-style tripod, my daughter uses one like this attached to her bunk bed rail. $25 beats what we'd pay cranking the AC on 65 all night -- something we're really trying to avoid this year. Update: We found promo code 30HW2UA3 -- use at checkout to save another 30% off either of the 2 SmartDevil fans So, three choices, and in my sweaty humidity-hating opinion, all worth it. Stay cool out there!
