Target is selling $6 fanny pack coolers, so you can keep drinks and snacks close by

The official start of summer is only a month away, but there's nothing like being prepared. Target recently launched their Sun Squad summer products, which includes everything from pool floats and beach towels to dinnerware and picnic blankets. The most innovative product of the line, however, is the fanny pack cooler.

Yes, it's a fanny pack and a cooler. You might wonder why you would need one of those, and the answer is, you technically don't. But your life will be so much better with one.

Going for a picnic, a hike, to the beach, to a festival or to a pool this summer? Use it to stash your snacks and drinks. (Skinny cans of hard seltzer or rosé will easily fit in there, just saying!) You can even keep your sunscreen cool in one to keep it in optimal working condition.

The fanny pack coolers come in a sparkly mermaid-scale design and a more subtle-but-still-fun grapefruit design available on Target's website, however, PopSugar spotted an additional tropical leaf design available in-stores. The fanny pack coolers are affordable, too. They'll only run you $6, which is a cheap price for totally changing your life and upgrading your summer.
