While you’re strolling through Trader Joe’s to pick up the latest pickle-themed or ube-flavored items of the summer, there are a few inedible products that may catch your eye.

During the grocery store’s latest podcast episode, they revealed the lineup for this summer’s hottest products, including a strawberry basil vinaigrette, sparkling pineapple juice and a pickle-flavored seasoning blend. But once your shopping carts are full of groceries, you’ve got to circle back to the flower aisle and check out the selection of summer plants, including the Venus flytrap and elephant ears.

Peach Black Tea candle

The smell of peaches in the summertime is truly a delight, especially when the scent has a hint of black tea. This cult-favorite candle is only available during the summer and is a part of Trader Joe’s seasonal candle collection. Don’t walk, run — they’re only $3.99!

Seasonal flowers

Surprise your sweetheart with a bouquet of blooming peonies. The bright pink flowers are available in bundles of five stems for $10 to brighten up your coffee table, kitchen counter or bedroom nightstand.

Airstream-shaped succulent pots

These camper-shaped succulent pots will give you all of the summer camp feels without the actual outdoor experience. If you aren’t plant parent material, swap out the succulent for a faux plant and keep the adorable ceramic pot. Can you imagine how cute this would look in an Airstream?

Watermelon Facial Mist

Your glow is going to be undeniable after a couple of spritz from this hydrating facial mist. According to its description, this product’s ingredient list ranges from watermelon seed oil and watermelon fruit extract to rice bran oil. Leave this product in your bathroom for guests or pack it up in your purse for an on-the-go refresher.
