You packed the salty snacks, a cooler full of ice and beverages, and perhaps a big blanket or towel to sprawl out on — but before you take to the park or your backyard, don't forget to grab a Bluetooth speaker. I'm of the mindset that no outdoor gathering is complete without an ambient soundtrack playing in the background. 

If a portable or pint-sized speaker is missing from your picnic essentials list, you're in luck — I found five epic deals on products by some of our favorite brands, like Bose and JBL, starting at just $15. My top picks, below, are durably made with dust- and water-proof materials, deliver long-lasting battery life, and (perhaps most importantly) pump out quality tunes, no matter if you're looking to stream a relaxing jazz playlist so as not to interfere with good conversation or want to blast your favorite songs at full volume.
