1. Pretty outdoor string lights to turn your balcony, deck, or porch into a twinkling paradise. They'll look gorgeous in the evening, especially when the sun is setting and you're relaxing outdoors after a long day.
Promising review: "I purchased these for my patio two summers ago, and I love them. I put them up in the spring and take them down when it gets too chilly to sit outside. I can’t say how they hold up in the cold temperatures of winter. But what I can say is that I love these; they are small enough that they don’t hang down too far, and they give off a nice relaxing glow that's not too bright." —Domzzs

Promising review: "The paper of my dreams! Thick, easy to install, VERY forgiving pattern, and I was able to pull off and reposition several times with no loss of stickiness. Can’t say enough good things! Not even a bad smell like I was expecting after reading other reviews. One roll covered my entire set of stair risers with exactly the right amount and a very tiny strip leftover. Posting a before and after so you can be amazed at the transformation like I was. The results are just what I was hoping for and more." —BwHow
