1. A portable 120-inch screen so you can host the most epic outdoor movie nights your cul-de-sac has ever seen! No more projecting movies onto the side of your house and wondering if you're looking at an important detail of the movie or just an impurity on your wall.
2. A poolside rocking chair to upgrade your boring old lounge chairs. These will ~rock~ your world, you may even forget about the new reclining chair you got for your living room.
3. A side table with a little secret…it's also a cooler! Get one for your next BBQ and watch all your guests' eyes grow wider when they finally figure out where you're hiding all the cold drinks!
Promising review: "I was looking for a table to sit between two rockers on my patio and came across this table/cooler combo! It was very easy to assemble and the color matches my patio furniture. It holds a decent amount of beverages too. I recommend adding them in before you add the ice for a better fit. The drain plug was easy to use and in a good place to drain in the grass area next to my patio. It was a great and fun addition that everyone enjoyed using." —Kat C.
Get it from Amazon for $83.96+ (available in two colors).
4. A canopy to protect your backyard oasis from the sun's rays that are sometimes just a bit too much… but not enough that you want to actually go inside.
5. A set of outdoor string lights that'll create the perfect, twinkly ambience to keep the party going long after the sun has set.
6. A citronella candle designed to keep critters away all together so they don't ~bug~ you.
7. A portable Cuisinart vertical smoker that'll slow cook brisket, turkey, chicken, or whatever else your heart desires. This is going to revolutionize your backyard BBQs. Be warned, none of your neighbors will ever want to host again once they know what you're cookin' in your yard.
8. A four-piece furniture set to furnish your outdoor space just as well as your indoor living room. I mean come on, grab yourself a refreshing beverage, kick your feet up, and you'll never wanna go inside again.
9. A set of four motion sensor lights so you don't have to worry about tripping over a branch (or yourself…😅) when you walk inside after a long day in the yard.
10. A cedar oil insect killer that is pet- *and* kid-safe so you can feel good about killing those fleas, mosquitoes, beetles, and gnats without harming any of your loved ones in the process.
11. An expandable garden hose, which extends up to three times its normal length to quench the thirst of every last inch of your yard.
12. A bamboo mason bee house to give those busy little bees a place to call home so they know they're safe to hang out at your house and pollinate your flowers.
13. A raised garden kit easier to put together than most other above ground gardens — no screws, tools, or pounding into the ground required! The hardest part about it will be deciding what you want to plant.
Timberlane Gardens is a small business based in Homer Glen, Illinois creating cedar raised garden bed kits, planters and gardener gifts.
Promising review: "We were so pleased with these that we immediately ordered a second set! So affordable compared to other raised beds, exactly as described and easy to put together (and the bonus is that they smell so fantastic when you take them out of the box – not going to help the garden, but that certainly helped my mood!) Thank you!! Can't wait for the growing season :)" —Helen
Get it from Timberlane Gardens on Etsy for $149.
14. A set of color-changing inflatable pool lights that are solar powered so you don't have to put in any effort to reap the benefits of these vibey lights. Your pool parties are about to get ~lit.~
These appear white during the day but automatically switch colors at night and can last up to eight hours after being charged in direct sunlight. They also have a loop on the top if you would rather hang them somewhere!
Promising review: "Liked these so much we ordered another set. We’ve had them in our pool 24/7 for almost a year and a half. They’ve lasted through storms, wind, etc. We have only had to add air to them one time and they haven’t gotten dirty or moldy (which was a concern being white). I love that they are solar so no changing batteries or remotes needed. Great fun colors! Highly recommend." —THE HOMME LIFE
Get a set of two from Amazon for $37.99.
15. A hanging hammock chair so comfy you may find yourself taking more than a couple afternoon naps outside. Go ahead and just get one for each member of your family cause you aren't going to want to share.
16. A garden dump cart that'll help you easily move around whatever cumbersome item you have taking up your backyard at the moment — dirt, rocks, gourds, you name it, this thing has got you covered up to 600 pounds.
17. A leaf blower/vacuum with a built-in mulcher that'll absolutely change the game when it comes to dealing with leaves and other debris in your yard. Change the function with just the flip of a switch, it's that easy. Yeah, you can go ahead and toss your regular leaf blower and rake.
18. A reliable Weber charcoal grill that'll cook up a ton of food without taking up a ton of space, so even those of us with small backyards can still enjoy that freshly grilled goodness.
19. A handy, dandy turf spreader to help you evenly and efficiently spread things like grass seed and fertilizer. Move over Jim, there's a new best kept lawn in town.
20. A rechargeable, waterproof cooler light so you don't crack open a can of Coke only to take a huge sip and realize it's actually Dr. Pepper 🤢.
21. A set of decorative throw pillows that'll add a little ~earthy~ touch to your backyard seating area, even if the plants on the pillows are the closest thing to a living being in your yard…it's cool, not all of us were blessed with a green thumb 🤷🏼♀️.
22. An aesthetically pleasing firewood rack so you can stop avoiding your firepit because you don't want to walk all the way to the back of your yard to grab some wood. Now you can store it front and center and have it be a lovely focal point piece.
23. A bestselling squirrel picnic table because, let's be honest, you're not the only one living in your backyard. Those adorable little critters deserve a place they can kick up their feet (paws?) and munch on their nuts.
