1. A set of white picket fences that'll help you close off your backyard. It's also great for keeping your pets or small children from getting out, or for keeping critters from nibbling on your garden.
2. A string of waterproof lights that'll make your space feel magical and cozy. They're dimmable, so you can adjust the brightness depending on how much light you want.
3. A big outdoor umbrella that'll help you stay cool on a hot sunny day. It has a crank system that'll make it easy to open and close without straining your arm.
4. And a clamp-on lamp that'll light up your table when you're sitting out at night. Reviewers say it's super bright but small enough that you can just leave it on when you close your umbrella.
5. A four-piece patio set that's actually pretty affordable (have you SEEN the prices of outdoor furniture?!). It's made with woven all-weather wicker that won't deteriorate in rain or heat.
6. A portable charcoal grill that's perfect for smaller spaces (or if you just don't want to spend tons of money on a full-sized BBQ). It's small enough that you can also bring it with you on a camping trip.
7. A set of crystal pendants that'll catch the sun and fill your backyard with little rainbows. Reviewers say the way they're cut makes them look like they're shimmering.
8. A Bluetooth speaker lamp that'll help set the mood for your backyard hangs. The lamp part flickers like a flame, making the atmosphere super cozy, but without the soot.
9. A pack of artificial ivy garlands that'll turn your balcony into a garden oasis, without the maintenance (if you don't exactly have the greenest thumb). Reviewers love pairing them with fairy lights to make them that much more whimsical.
10. A set of fairy lights that'll make your pergola feel magical. It has eight different light modes, so you can even make them twinkle when you're feeling extra.
11. A set of interlocking teak tiles that'll make your backyard go a bit easier on your feet. Since they snap together, you won't need any tools, and they'll be easy to remove.
12. A weeder that'll help you get rid of all of those annoying dandelions that have rudely decided to ruin your lawn. It has a footstep and sliding latch mechanism, meaning you won't break your back landscaping.
13. A table bar that'll double as a cooler when you fill it with ice to keep your drinks cold. The top is adjustable, so you can just use it as a side table when you want.
14. A funky abstract tablecloth that'll keep your table free of scratches and spills. If anything does spill, you can easily wipe it away using a damp cloth.
15. A pack of outdoor clips that are strong enough to withstand the elements (they're waterproof and UV resistant). They'll make putting up lights or other decor so much easier — and they're renter-friendly, too.
16. And a pack of tablecloth clamps that'll keep your cover from flying away. It'll also keep your tablecloth from shifting, unlike table weights that hang off the corners.
17. A set of citronella-scented candles that'll help ward off mosquitos and other unwanted bugs. They smell fresh and will add ambient light — plus, the tin containers can be reused to store your little bits and bobs.
18. A raised garden bed, so you can get started on that herb garden you've been waiting to grow, and the bottom shelf is a perfect place to store your tools. It'll keep the creepy crawlies away from your precious plant babies.
19. A hammock (with the stand) that'll become your new favourite nap spot. Bring a good book and you'll never want to get out.
20. An oscillating sprinkler that'll help keep your grass green. It has a range dial that you can use to adjust the range and direction of the nozzles, leaving no patch unwatered.
21. An outdoor pet house, if your fur baby loves to sleep outside during the summer. It'll protect them from wind and rain when an unexpected drizzle happens.
22. A handy tool organizer that'll help you sort out your messy shed once and for all. Reviewers love how easy it is to grab their tools since they each have their own clasp.
23. A 4-in-1 pool float that you can use to sit, lie, straddle, or drift with, if you're a lucky duck with a pool. It sits right below the waterline, so you'll be able to enjoy the sun on your face while cooling down your body in the water.
24. And a pack of drink floaties that'll keep your beverages close by. The pack comes with a bunch of different designs, so you won't get your drink mixed up with anyone else's.
25. A bird feeder, if you like the company of the little winged singers. Reviewers love that the suction cup design allows you to attach it to a window instead of a tree, making it harder for squirrels to steal your seeds.
26. And lastly, patio heater, so you can still enjoy the great outdoors on chillier nights. It has an adjustable heat knob, so you can tweak the settings to your perfect temperature.
You chilling, living your best life in your backyard:
