1. A seven-piece patio furniture set so you can lounge any way you like. Get cozy and move the modular chairs into a U-shape around your firepit for Love Island recoupling vibes or separate them around your patio table for a casual dinner.
2. A set of cafe string lights to really up the ambiance this summer. There are 24 LED white light bulbs and reviewers say they are incredibly durable and can withstand bad weather as well as any accidental drops.
3. An outdoor lumbar throw pillow because throw pillows are *the* finishing touch for your patio furniture. This monochrome striped style will match any color scheme and it can easily be wiped clean.
4. A chic side table that is the missing piece to your dream backyard. It's durable, weather-resistant, and will give a subtle boho feel to your space.
5. A knitted throw blanket so you can keep warm as the sun goes down. Snuggle up under it, pop on your favorite summer playlist, and grab your beverage of choice. The perfect evening if you ask me.
6. An Aztec-printed area rug that will add some warmth and texture to your outdoor space. The neutral color palette will match any existing decor and it has been designed to be water- and stain-resistant, meaning it's great for kid and pet-filled households.
7. A seven-piece outdoor dining set so you can enjoy those al fresco brunches and lunches in serious style. It comes with six swivel chairs and a large wooden table that has an umbrella hole so you can keep yourself — and your meal — shaded.
8. A thyme citronella candle to ensure those pesky bugs stay far, far, away. It looks super cute, has a fresh smell, and burns for up to 40 hours. Take that, mosquitoes!
9. A whimsical macrame hammock chair that will be *the* perfect little place to curl up and relax. Add some cozy throw pillows, grab a summer romance book, and enjoy!
10. A vibrant set of melamine plates to make those al fresco appetizers even *more* tempting. They'll look so pretty on the table at your next BBQ or outdoor soirée.
11. A patio bar hutch because nothing says summer Fridays like outdoor happy hours. It has a tabletop for mixing up your favorite beverages and plenty of storage space for your glassware and accessories.
12. An inflatable hot tub so you can enjoy a relaxing spa day without the $$$. Simply pump it up and you're good to go!
13. An eye-catching pouf that can be used as extra seating, a table, or simply something to put your feet on. Reviewers say it is bigger than it looks and is very sturdy.
14. A two-seater porch swing so you can pretend you're in your own small-town rom-com, growing old in your dream home that the love of your life built by hand. Just me?
15. A fire column to gather around as the sun goes down. Share your favorite spooky stories and toast up some s'mores for *the* best summer's night.
16. A table runner that will give your al fresco meal a little extra somethin'. The rustic design will add a whole bunch of charm to your table, and there are even matching placemats and napkins.
17. A solar pathway light to illuminate your walkway all season long. Buy a few of them, place them on either side of your patio path, and you'll have the brightest backyard on the block.
18. A faux Dracaena plant so you can bring the tropical vibes to your backyard without even leaving home. Plus, if you're not a seasoned plant parent, no worries — there's no watering required.
19. An outdoor movie screening kit that'll help you host your own private open-air film night. There will be no more rushing around to try and secure the best spot, and you can pause the movie whenever you need a popcorn top-up.
20. A decorative patio screen so you can enjoy a little bit of privacy without totally blocking off a section of your yard.
21. A novelty donut pool float that Homer Simpson would be jealous of. Blow it up, pop yourself in, and float the day away.
22. A chaise lounge so you can work on your tan or take an afternoon nap. It's super comfy and reclines into a full flat bed. Who needs a 5-star resort?
23. A massive Four in a Row yard game to unleash your competitive side. There's just something about giant childhood games that make them even more fun.
24. A small but mighty portable Bluetooth speaker because what's summer without a feel-good playlist? It has 16 hours of battery life so you can listen to your favorite songs for hours on end, and it's waterproof so there's no worries if you get a little pool water on it.
25. And a pop-up canopy for when you want to take the gathering inside, while also staying outside. You'll stay protected from catching sunburn, and the mesh, breathable curtains will stop any creepy crawlies from crashing the party.
