Outdoor Furniture
1| The Secret Garden: Sunbed
If you’re looking to furnish your outdoor garden, private terrace, or pool area, this elegant sunbed made from solid teak wood will provide comfy seating. With three reclining positions and padding that allows water to drain away quickly, it’s ideal for outdoor lounging. And with its rear one-way wheels, you can also move this sunbed around with ease. Available in classic ticking stripes and multiple colors, it’s easy to find one that complements your style.
2| Jensen Outdoor: Classic Ipe Sunset Bar
If you lack an outdoor kitchen space and want a stylish and utilitarian spot to craft drinks or serve food near your patio or poolside, this bar will do the trick. A sure crowd-pleaser, this bar has a spacious countertop crafted from Ipe timber sustainably sourced from tropical forests. Ipe timber is a type of highly durable hardwood that’s naturally weather resistant.
Plus, its dark chocolate color won’t stain easily, and with its nod to traditional style, this bar will blend well with most design schemes.
3| Janus et Cie: Allsize Extendable Dining Table Rectangle
Al fresco dining? It’s relaxing and gives you a chance to soak in some Vitamin D. Janus et Cie’s extendable dining table has a powder-coated aluminum top and extends to about 106.” Its additional extension leaf can be purchased separately, and you can use a maximum of 2 extension leaves at a time. The table also comes in a variety of colors, from white to terracotta and light blue. Designing an outdoor dining space can be multi-purposeful and work seamlessly for hosting friends or weekly family dinners.
Kitchen Gadgets
4| Williams Sonoma: Watermelon Tap Kit
Instead of using a glass dispenser, store your coolest drink in a fresh watermelon! For this gadget, all you’ll need to do is scoop out your melon and turn it into a hollowed-out container. Then, insert this tap, and now you have a refreshing dispenser great for water, cocktails, lemonade, punch, and more! This dispenser even works for pumpkins and includes a stainless-steel corer with a plastic tap handle (plus recipes and instructions).
5| Target: Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2qt Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker
This gizmo can be a fun family activity or a great treat for health-conscious families (and those with food allergies). With your own ice cream maker, you get to control the ingredients and flavors. This double-insulated freezer bowl comes with a fully automatic heavy-duty motor and can make frozen desserts (or drinks) in about 20 minutes! It’s also BPA free and has a large ingredient spout when you want to add in your favorite flavors and mix-ins.
6| Amazon: Bartesian Premium Cocktail and Margarita Machine
Let’s take cocktail making to the next level. With this gadget, you can create craft cocktails from home without measuring or pouring.
