Fun in the Sun
When planning a summer party, think of whimsical, charming and fun country accents that serve decorative and functional purposes. Flowers picked fresh from your garden or purchased from a farmers market add a festive look to a centerpiece or room and put you and your guests in a happy state of mind. Keeping a pretty dish towel on hand enhances the style of your kitchen but also helps out after slicing watermelon or cleaning up melted ice cream. Durable dishware is also essential; melamine plates and bowls can be brought outside without worry, and are designed with the stylish party host in mind. And don't forget about upbeat music!

Grab a Seat
Your guests will need a place to sit while eating, talking around the campfire or simply relaxing in the sun. Don't sacrifice durability for style — you can have both — all while offering a variety of seating options.
Our Grade A teak tables, chairs and lounger, as well as our selection of Adirondack chairs and furniture, are ideal for backyard parties and for entertaining all summer long. Add outdoor cushions for extra style and comfort, and create an outside dining and entertaining space your guests may not want to leave.

Help Yourself
Summer entertaining is all about relaxed get-togethers or more formal events with a casual feel. Food, drinks and other necessities should follow some kind of "help yourself" code, whether it be condiments on the table, burgers on the grill or plates or silverware for the table. Our multi-functional utility board is ideal for serving food, offering an extra table surface or setting food apart from other elements of the party. Summertime is perhaps the best time for the Americana Flag Lazy Susan, which ensures you won't have to leave the outdoor celebration to get a forgotten condiment, seasoning or utensil.

Garden Party
For a little flair, display a garden flag that brings a festive and welcoming spirit to the party. Our Solar LED Light uses the power of the summer sun to illuminate small outdoor spaces after sunset. Use multiple lights to illuminate your evening soiree or to mark the way toward the celebration.

Outdoor Ambiance
We love the scents of the outdoors, like garden flowers or fresh-cut grass. Our Mug Candles offer cozy, outdoorsy scents such as Pine, Coffee and S'mores for a delightful campfire vibe. And after all the wax has been used up, you'll have a useful camping mug! Though these candles were created with the camper in mind, they are also perfect for backyard tables. Our scented Firestarters will not only help you build a roaring fire, but will emit soothing aromas to carry the relaxed feeling of your summertime party into the night.
For a little extra lighting on a patio, porch or around an outdoor fireplace, the Solar LED Lid Light is a unique solution. Just screw the lid on a Mason jar, and your summer party will be well illuminated, long after the sun goes down.
