1. A compact yet fully functional firepit for anyone who still wants to enjoy their backyard all winter long. It'll keep you toasty and you'll probably end up toasting up a marshmallow or two...or a full bag.
2. Or a tabletop fireplace so you can enjoy some ooey-gooey s'mores even if you don't have the space for a full-on firepit.
3. OR! A portable campfire made famous on Shark Tank that basically works like a candle — just light it up and enjoy the picturesque glow! When you're done, just slip the cover on top to extinguish.
4. An oversized block-stacking game that'll truly test your coordination and have everyone joining in for some friendly competition — even your grumpy uncle who always sulks in the corner at every family function.
5. A seriously chic side table that's hiding a seriously cool secret — it's actually a cooler! Just pop the top to grab an ice-cold drink and then use the elevated portion as a handy drink table.
6. A supersized dot-connecting game to test your mental agility and have you and your fam saying, "Just one more game!" all day long.
7. Globe string lights to turn your backyard into the ultimate hangout spot, because let's face it, string lights can transform any space into an Instagram-worthy moment.
8. A set of incredibly popular zero-gravity chairs that'll have you feeling like your floating on a cloud instead of lounging outside in the late-summer heat. Plus, over 25,000 Amazon customers have left a glowing 5-star review so far.
9. A portable grill so you can keep the festive barbecues going all year long even if you don't have tons of a space for a full-size grill. It has a quick-fold design so you can fold it, roll it, and store it once you're done whipping up some burgers.
10. A wonderfully elegant patio set featuring two sturdy chairs (with cushions!) and a spacious yet compact side table which looks perfect for kicking back and enjoying some beverages with your bestie.
11. A ridiculously charming picnic basket with everything you need to have a picture-perfect lunch date right in your backyard. Yes — it even comes with the picnic blanket!
12. An easily portable beanbag toss game that's bound to bring out your competitive side. The baskets and stand are adjustable, so you can fully customize the game to your liking.
13. A rustic-chic lantern – it'll not only provide some light for your late-night hangout sessions, but also repels bugs up to 15 feet away!
14. A magnetic screen door that is super easy to install and will let you circulate some fresh air without letting any pesky bugs in.
15. A video projector with a 100-inch screen so you can bring the theater experience right to your backyard — except without all the annoying people scooting by you to get to the bathroom. This tiny but mighty unit has HD 1080p video output and can easily connect to most streaming devices and video game systems.
16. A country store–themed birdhouse so you can sit back and watch as a flock of feathery patrons stop by and enjoy some much-deserved snacks.
17. A set of solar-powered LED lights with a unique bubble design to add a colorful touch to your backyard once the dreary late-fall weather rolls in.
18. A set of four tiki torches if you're looking for a super decorative way to light up your dark backyard. It might just inspire you to throw more than a few get-togethers before winter comes around.

22. A set of solar-powered, motion sensor–activated lights so you can wave goodbye to relying on your phone's flashlight every time you step outside.
23. An inflatable bowling set so you can practice getting those strikes while you soak up some sun. It's also safe to play indoors, meaning you can finally have that in-home bowling alley you've always dreamed of.
24. A vintage-style planter for all you plant parents who treat your flora like actual children and want to gift them with a new bike for the fall. No judgment.
25. A super-fun twisty sprinkler that's perfect for doggos and kiddos — or full-grown adultos just looking to cool off.
