3. Host epic al fresco dinners with a patio dining set.

4. Use a sneaky hose-hideaway to keep hoses untangled and out of sight.
Promising review: "I have been using this for about three weeks and it functions perfectly. It doesn't automatically rewind, but it's not difficult at all to wind it back in. The construction is very sturdy. It looks nicer than a hose coiled in the yard. I'm very happy with the purchase." —Aneatra
Get it at Walmart, with free shipping or in-school pickup, for $49.
5. Fuel your barbecues with a four-burner gas grill.
Promising review: "Assembly was fairly easy. The grill got hot just fine for me—700 degrees in just a few minutes. Also, I could reduce the temperature for slow cooking, which is important to me. Other grills I've owned would not get below 400. This one is a good deal for a good price." —Ravagin
Get it at Walmart, with free shipping or in-store pickup, for $147.

Kitsch, don't kill my vibe.
