USB Mini Fan
Summer temperatures seem to be climbing higher and higher these days.
It’s no longer enough to just turn on the AC or a fan when you’re indoors; you also need to carry a fan with you when you head outside—ideally, a mini USB-rechargeable fan with a built-in battery.
As shown in the image below, this handheld USB mini fan can run for several hours on a single full charge.
You can hold it while walking down the street, or use it while dining out or taking a rest, thanks to its foldable design.

It folds up to 90 degrees—check out the image below.
I often place it right on the dining table while I eat.
This comes in handy when I find myself in a restaurant without air conditioning: turning on a large fan might give me a chill, but going without a fan leaves me sweltering. This little fan strikes the perfect balance—it blows air just on me without bothering anyone else.

Other Essentials
Sunglasses: (Optional) Helps shield your eyes from blinding sunlight.
Wet Wipes: Great for wiping your face. Since you tend to sweat a lot in the summer, wet wipes offer a quick, refreshing, and oil-removing alternative to washing your face with water—especially when you’re on a train or on the go.
Cooling Balm/Ointment: Features a unique formula that provides an instant energy boost—whether you simply take a whiff or apply it to your skin. It helps prevent heatstroke, dizziness, and drowsiness—making it particularly useful while driving, studying, or working.
Cold Drinks, Ice Water, or Ice Cubes: Currently, I haven’t found a perfect solution for keeping things cold while I’m out and about. My only option right now is to buy icy beverages for a quick physical cool-down, as I can’t easily carry ice for long periods or generate my own refrigeration on the go. If you happen to have any good tips or tricks for keeping cool outdoors, please feel free to share them with me!
