A bonus item for new subscribers, the Bather Solid Pine Swim Trunk ($90) is a great pick for beach days or chilling by the pool. The elasticized waistband offers a snug fit without feeling too tight, while the recycled quick-dry nylon fabric keeps you dry and comfortable. The mesh lining is a nice touch, providing extra breathability for those hot summer days. Plus, the practical side pockets and secure back pocket with a snap closure make it convenient for carrying essentials.
Made in Germany, the Waterdrop Microdrink in Blueberry ($14) packs a punch with electrolytes, vitamins, and zinc. It’s perfect for replenishing those electrolytes after a day of summer sports or a tough workout session. And with zero sugar, I can indulge guilt-free while staying hydrated under the scorching sun. Plus, its compact size makes it super convenient to toss in my bag for on-the-go hydration wherever summer takes me.
The Bevel Clear Shave Gel ($9.95) is my new summer grooming essential. A unique non-foaming formula, it ensures my razor glides effortlessly across my skin without any tugging or irritation. This gel helps prevent nicks and cuts, offering a precise shave every time. What I love most is its clear consistency, allowing me to see exactly where I’m shaving for maximum accuracy. Enriched with soothing aloe vera and refreshing cucumber extract, it leaves my skin feeling invigorated and moisturized, making it ideal for combating the harsh effects of summer heat and sun exposure.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of traveling, it’s the importance of keeping my tech gear safe and sound. The Casemate Travel Tech Organizer Travel Pouch ($40) is lightly padded, offering just the right amount of protection for my devices without adding extra bulk to my bag. Inside, the mesh pockets are a godsend for keeping cords, chargers, and adapters neatly organized—no more untangling messes mid-journey. Plus, there’s an external zipper pocket that’s perfect for storing items I need quick access to. Having all my essentials neatly packed in this pouch makes life so much easier!
The DIFF Eyewear in Billie ($118) is just what I need to elevate my sunny day look. The squared-off frames give off that effortlessly cool vibe, perfect for lounging by the pool or hanging out at a barbecue. Plus, they come with a pouch, making it easy to toss them in my bag and head out the door. The medium-sized lenses not only offer great coverage but also give me that classic look I’m going for. The lens are scratch-resistant and polarized, which means I get crisp, clear vision while blocking out any annoying glare—perfect for those bright summer days.
When summer activities leave my muscles feeling strained, the Will Relieve Pain Relief Spray ($12.99) comes to the rescue. It contains lidocaine, which quickly numbs any pain and provides instant relief. What I love most is that it doesn’t have that strong medicine smell like other pain relief sprays do, so I can use it discreetly without feeling self-conscious. It’s quick-drying too, so I can get back to enjoying my summer adventures without any hassle. Subscribers will receive either this spray or the Cooling Pain Relief Roll On.
The Tactica 17-in-1 Lightweight Composite Multi-Tool ($39.95) packs an array of functions into a compact and lightweight design. From tightening screws to opening bottles, or even prying open stubborn packaging, this multi-tool has got me covered. It’s also portable—I can slip it into my pocket or attach it to my backpack, ensuring I always have it on hand when I need it most. However, I’ve noticed that it might not be as durable as I expected for heavier tasks, and prolonged use could be a challenge.

The curation of this quarter’s GQ Best Stuff Box offers a decent mix of items suited for summer living. While the selection includes practical essentials, what stood out to me were the innovative tech gadgets and stylish accessories. The bonus offer adds value, especially for those interested in fitness, but it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Also, offering more customization options for the main lifestyle items could broaden the appeal and boost overall satisfaction. Nonetheless, this collection shows promise, and I’m eager to see how future boxes evolve.
GQ Box is a quarterly subscription box that features GQ editors’ tested and loved items like electronics, grooming products, and man-friendly accessories. All boxes are valued at over $200 each and a total of over $800 value per year!
