The key to cooling off on a hot summer's day is to have a chilled drink next to you. But if you are on a family trip or at the beach, there probably won't be a freezer nearby. Even if there was, it's no guarantee that the ice would be ready.

That's when a portable ice bucket can come in handy. You can prep the cubes with an ice maker before you leave the house, and the ice bucket ensures your ice stays cold for the day. It can be a lifesaver, as it can chill a variety of other things, as well.

Alladinbox Ice Cube Mold And Ice Bucket

This ice bucket is a two-in-one solution because you don't have to transfer the ice into the holder. Simply pour the water slowly into the side of the bucket, stick it in the freezer and let it do its magic. Once ready, you remove it from the freezer and squeeze the sides. The ice will instantly pop out of the holders and fall into the center of the bucket.

It can hold up to 24 pounds of ice, or 18 soda cans and some cubes to cool them. The airtight lid is held down with two rubber latches, and it has a sturdy shoulder strap for carrying.
