Promising review for the garland: "Fall is in the air. Love it. Hung it up outside and it's withheld the crazy wind we've had! Adds a nice touch of fall to my porch!" —Amazon Customer
Promising review for the garland with included lights: "Love these lights!!! Far superior to other fall garland lights! Garlands are VERY well constructed & great care was taken to ensure they don't fall apart like other garlands I have purchased (and returned!!!)! Tiny zip ties were used to secure the lights and leaves together so they don't come apart! I'm going to be buying more of these for sure! Another favorite feature is the eight blinking modes — well AND the well-designed, waterproof battery case. I have bought and returned several other light sets so trust me when I say that these are top notch! (And NO I am not being compensated for this review — I am just happy to finally find quality lights!!!)!" —Jan W.
Get the garland without lights from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 10 colors) and the garland *with* built-in lights for $12.99.
This swinging hammock chair comes with two cushions and installation hardware.
Promising review: "This has made me love my backyard again, guys!!!! We hung this just over a week ago and the kids and I have been in it every night. It was easy to put up (well, it was super easy because I didn't do any work!). Once in it, I feel snug, secure, and ready to relax. It's been perfect on these crisp but sunny mornings and afternoons. I love the color; it's very natural and gives a bohemian vibe, but I worried this would get dirty, being outside and all. So I bought some upholstery Scotchgard and sprayed it all over — and it actually worked wonders. My son dropped his PB&J on it and the mess wiped right up." —Jose Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors).
Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.
Promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300+ pounds in it. The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position...no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it...no problem. It works great as a traditional hammock to lay in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs. We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell.
"Things not to love: nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four fabric types and 37 colors).
Promising review: "We love this privacy screen! We wanted a bit of privacy from our neighbors when we're sitting on our porch, but this product also made our space more cozy. They're also much bigger than expected. I'm thrilled with the purchase." —Stefanie Bass
Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in five sizes).
Promising review: "The Weber brand is always high quality. Since I've purchased this grill I used it hundreds of times and it still looks brand new. I am extremely happy with the purchase and someday if it ever needs replacing, I will definitely buy another." —Jason
Get it from Amazon for $119+ (available with and without cover).
Promising review: "My dad recently got one of these to test out and has been so excited to take his grilling *and* backyard game to the next level. Not only does this firepit looks awesome and provide a cozy place for your family to hangout, but because it's made with a specific Cor-Ten material you'll be able to cook all kinds of things right along the edges. Pretty freakin' cool. If you'd rather *not* place your steak directly on the pit, you can go for their grill grate and cook it above the flames." —Heather Braga, BuzzFeed Staff
Get it from Breeo for $349+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "These roasting sticks will get the job done. They retract easily and will be perfect for light use (roasting marshmallows) with our firepit. Not extremely sturdy but not flimsy either. The metal points are not sharp which is a good thing if kids are handling them. I like the storage pouch it comes with, too." —Sheri J. O
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $9.98.
Promising review: "Mystical Fire Colorant is amazing. For a really fun experience, get some of these for your next camping trip. As if a campfire needs improvement...but this stuff is really neat. I'd say the adults love it even more than the kids. We only used one packet, and the colors were so good — seems like they lasted at least 20 minutes. There was even color left in the ashes the next day. We will never go camping again without several packs of Mystical Fire on hand." —TeNe

Promising review: "I am super excited to share my feelings on these chairs! After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with these, and I am so glad I went with these! These are without exaggeration the best beach chairs I have ever lounged in. They come fully assembled, with the exception of the side drink rest, which is very easy to pop on. These fold up quite compactly and are very easy to transport. And these are so comfortable! When lounging in these chairs, I am incredibly relaxed. I look forward to lounging on the beach or in the backyard in these chairs. I have been a broken record telling everyone how wonderful these chairs are. You cannot go wrong if you go with these chairs!" —Bobby D

Promising review: "I have ordered four boxes of these light sets now. I love love love these lights. I will attach a photo at a later date, but these lights are gorgeous. They arrived, I plugged them in while in the package to make sure they all worked. Then I unscrewed all the bulbs to make it easy to hang. I hung them up all around my balcony using a staple gun. When I finished I screwed the light bulbs all in :) I would highly recommend these lights. They are PINTEREST perfect!" —Cora

Promising review: "Power washer was delivered Monday, it’s Wednesday and I have washed two cars, cleaned driveway and sidewalks, cleaned back fence, and the work keeps piling up; everything I see now needs to be cleaned! This little dude does not back down; plenty of power and it's surprisingly not too loud. Soap dispensers work great, and the tips are easy to change." —Mar
Get it from Amazon for $145.94+ (available in two colors).
Promising review: "I've been using this mat for a few weeks now, and it's a great product. It doesn't bring any needles from the mat inside and it helps catch dirt. No wear and tear yet. And the images aren't wearing off. Would definitely recommend." —Mimi
Get it from Amazon for $24.31+ (available in 16 styles).
Promising review: "This bag of fake spider webbing is huge! I own a 3,000-square-foot house and was able to place webbing on the entirety of the first floor for a party. This included placing webbing on both the back deck and screened-in porch. Imagine an entire corner of a room filled from floor to ceiling and about 3 feet wide on either side and multiply that by seven or eight and that's how much webbing this is. I used clear push pins to stretch the webbing over and it gave the party a great effect. This does not come with little black spiders." —Scott Hutchings
Get it from Amazon for $12.35.
Promising review: "As always, my order was shipped quickly and in perfect condition. I love the bright colors and they are talk and sturdy. They are perfect for bottles, cabs, and cups... Not so good with stemmed wine glasses! No problem: I just ordered silicone stemless wine glasses!" —LaDonna Clark
Get a set of four from Amazon for $31.95. Or get a set made for stemmed wine glasses here.
Promising review: "The pictures don't do these justice. At night my backyard looks like a scene from Avatar. The light itself is not bright, but the colors are very vibrant and intense. The color transition is gradual and glowing. They are hypnotic to watch. During the day they are unobtrusive and don't look too fake or artificial. The green leaves are very bendable, the stems of the flowers are somewhat pliable, and the cloth that makes up the petals can be smoothed and manipulated a bit so you can make them look different and more realistic. I've had them for a couple of weeks and so far they are performing perfectly. They are simply beautiful and we love them!" —Zavanna
Get eight flowers (between two bunches) from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. Construction seems sturdy. Dimensions and style were perfect for the small patio space I was looking to get use out of, and the egg shape of the chairs is very comfortable. I paired them with a seagrass outdoor rug, faux-fur chair pads, a beanbag-style pouf footstool, and some boho throw pillows, and love how the space was instantly transformed. I highly recommend this set." —Baby blues
Get it from Amazon for $219.99 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "My dog loves this! He is 11 years old and I hate for his older bones to lay on the bricks or concrete. He loves this bed and we can easily move it from the back to front yard." —Kristin M.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in eight colors).
Promising review: "I read a LOT of reviews before I buy something. I want to be sure to put my money to good use. This was well worth every penny. Not only was it easy to set up but my cats LOVE it. I have two cats (one is 12 pounds and one is 8 pounds). They both comfortably fit in here with a ton of room to walk around and play. I throw this thing up on my balcony for what we lovingly call 'tent time' and they come running to the door. They sit in here and watch the birds and never want to come out. It is very easy to get them in and out and so far, is completely durable. BUY THIS!" —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $44.95.
Promising review: "We need something to let the kids sing without having to turn on the whole karaoke system. This works like a charm. The Bluetooth connection helps as well. You can just turn on YouTube and look for any song and they probably have a karaoke version or a sing-along they can sing to. The range is also great. We were outside and the volume can be heard nicely." —Phong Bui
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in 11 colors).
Promising review: "I have received a lot of complements regarding this little cooler/table and for the price I'm very happy with the purchase. We were looking for a smaller table to complement our larger patio set. After our last party I think I may have made a couple of sales for the Keter brand. The cooler kept drinks cold for quite a while especially considering we didn't put much ice in it. The standing feature is nice, too. Just lock the table in the open position and you can use it for a tall drink stand which works well. If you're looking a little table for a patio set OR for a little patio cooler this product can take care of both needs." —Phenom13
Get it from Amazon for $78.09 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I am someone who mosquitoes love to devour. I set up the candles in the backyard for movie night with the family (projector on the outside wall). Didn't get bit once at night. I was bitten about seven times earlier that day using bug repellent spray alone. None of the kids were bit. Worked well." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.97.
The home projector includes multiple ports (HDMI, USB, VGA, AV, TF, and audio output) for widespread device compatibility. It also has built-in speakers, but can easily be hooked up to other external speakers or a sound bar.
Promising review: "We got this for my boyfriend's birthday so we could watch movies on our patio and it did not disappoint. The sound is a little quiet but there are cords already included to connect a sound bar or speaker to increase the output. I was really surprised by how easy it was to set it up and got the perfect picture on my first try. I really like how we could just plug our Amazon Fire Stick into it and get going. The screen was super easy to put up and down and even included Command-like strips for the perfect picture. We are really excited to continue using this!!" —Amy Donar
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
Promising review: "I purchased this inflatable screen for an evening fall activity for the family. After inflating and using I am wondering why in the world I didn’t buy earlier for the summer, too. I wanted to see if I could inflate and set up this movie screen alone before asking for an extra hand. Good news, you can! The directions were easy to follow and it’s only three steps. If anyone has those fun Christmas inflatables, it’s the same type of thing. In a matter of minutes the screen was inflated." —Katie

This set is 9.8 feet in length and is powered by three AA batteries. It has two different modes (flashing and steady) so you can create the perfect ambience for your party.
Promising review: "These lights are great because you don’t need to plug them in. They are a fun decoration that you can put on a table, string around a door, or put inside a haunted house. I like how there is a mode to leave them on and a second mode to leave them blinking. The pumpkins are small and cute. I can’t wait to put them out for my Halloween party!" —paul s. chang

Promising review: "Bought this for a gift for an adult. The kids (ages 4–5) were so excited they wanted to play it right away and they did great! Lots of fun for all ages. Sturdy construction, smooth blocks slide well. Nice black carrying case fits everything. Came with a large wooden die that we did not use because we just took turns. Highly recommend." —CassH

Rumpl is a Portland, Oregon–based small business that was inspired by warm and snuggly sleeping bags, and how much better the material retains heat compared to traditional bedding. The idea of a "sleeping bag blanket" was born, and Rumpl with it.

They also offset all their carbon emissions with carbon credits!

BuzzFeed Editor Heather Braga has one of these and loves it. Here's why:
"I've had one of these portable lil' gadgets for two years now (I own the Flip 4) and it hasn't failed me yet! The music is clear and crisp even when I'm using it outside at the windy beach. Definitely a fan — it does exactly what it should!"
Promising review: "This little speaker packs a real punch for its size. The sound quality on this speaker is very crisp and clear and the bass is quite deep. I've owned and tested many other speakers in its class and they can't compare. The durability on this thing is insane! I've thrown it down a 50-foot staircase onto asphalt and no problem occurred. I've dunked it in water on multiple occasions and nothing happened. The battery life of this thing is also kind of amazing! But I've got to tell you that this speaker has its limits due to its size. It gets the best quality use in small-/medium-sized rooms or small outdoor living spaces. Something this size has its limits. Besides that I highly recommend this speaker if you're trying to make your final decision." —Beckett K.

Promising review: "I was skeptical about buying an inflatable hot tub, but my sister has wanted one forever. After researching many varieties, we ended up purchasing this. I am amazed at how well it works. I have had it for several months now, and it is still working perfectly. The lining is thick and sturdy, and supports your back. It is easy to get in and out of. The cushioned bottom is more comfy than I expected. It holds heat well; we like it at 104, and it stays between 102 and 104 while in use in a 40- to 60-degree environment. The bubbles are plentiful and relaxing and strong. I thought setup was quite easy, filters are easy to change, and water chemical balance is easy to maintain. Five out of five stars. Get it!" —Kristine

CopperHummingbird is a small business run by Nancy Higgins. In 2006, she invented a bee-proof, drip-free hummingbird feeder for use in the hummingbird aviary at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona, where she was a zookeeper for 22 years! After receiving so many nonzookeeper requests for her feeders she decided to open up a public-facing shop.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these hummingbird feeders. The cup is smaller — about two to three days worth of feedings. This is perfect to keep the food from going bad by being outside in the heat, which is necessary to keep hummingbirds safe. I have two of the hanging-style feeders I bought last year. They are still in perfect condition. My most recent purchase was the flower stake feeder and I am loving it also." —haleygymcoach
