How do you and your friends and family enjoy your summer fun? Are you a beach bum or perhaps the boss of the BBQ? Maybe you love glamping, or you go all-out for Independence Day. Whether you know someone with a summer birthday or you like to give seasonally-appropriate 4th of July gifts, we'll share some of our favorite outdoor gift ideas with you, from beach gifts to BBQ gifts and more! Of course, we'll have to inject this gift guide with a geeky dose of the FUN.com spirit! Keep reading to see some of our favorite nerdy summer gift ideas.

1. Nerdy Summer Clothes

We know it's hard to pack up our favorite screen-printed sweatshirts and geeky sweaters for the summer, but there's no shortage of nerdy apparel here! There are so many licensed t-shirts waiting to make their debut, and even a few tank tops if you don't like to wear sleeves in the summer. Also, don't forget about shorts or a pair of adorable shortalls. It's time to let those legs and arms out with these sweet summer gift ideas!

2. 4th of July Clothes

Do you know someone who shares a birthday with Uncle Sam? Maybe the 4th of July happens to be someone's favorite holiday. (With firecrackers, BBQ, and brews, we can see why it might be!) These 4th of July clothes are great options to express yourself this Independence Day. While you can get a fully star-spangled suit set, these 4th of July summer outfits are much more comfortable in warm weather.

3. Casual Outdoor Games

We love to play games outside when the weather is nice. Some games are better played outside, such as kids' bowling sets and Flamingolf, while others can easily be played outdoors. Would you like to chill on the patio with brews and trivia? What about a wild game of charades where you act out your prompts in the backyard? Fast and easy party games work great inside and outside, so get out there and snag some sun!

4. Nerdy Drinking Glasses

Hot summer days and cool drinks just go together. We love to sip cold drinks on the porch, at the poolside, and at every summer BBQ or outdoor event. Anyone who loves to indulge in bubbly beverages outside may appreciate stemless glasses that are bottom-heavy to help prevent spills. Or, perhaps a lidded cup to keep the bugs out is just what they need. Of course, we also love the idea of filling a few Geeki Tikis with tropical beverages that have the taste of summer! These drinking glasses make great BBQ gifts or birthday gifts and at other events throughout the year.

5. Geeky Beach Gear

Stand out from all the swan and unicorn inflatables with these nerdy pool and beach toys. Squishmallow fans will love inflatables that look like their favorite plushies, and how cute are these Care Bear pool floats? A pop culture beach towel is always a plus, too! And who could resist a Fortnite-themed super soaker? People will want to know where you found your cool pool gifts!

6. Geeky Summer Swimwear

Stand out from the crowd with these nerdy patterned swimsuits! We're digging these swim shorts and top sets, and how adorable are the Care Bears swimsuits? (They're beary cute.) You can even get into summer cosplay form with a Barbie or Wonder Woman swimsuit! Whether you plan to get in the water or work on your tan, you make geek look good.

7. 4th of July Costumes

The 4th of July is a day of celebration, and what better way to celebrate than by wearing a costume? You often see 4th of July costumes such as Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty at 4th of July parades, but you can also spot them at seasonal runs and other events. Whether you plan on participating in a patriotic parade or want to wear a Fourth of July costume for some other reason, these American costumes are all top-notch selections!
