1. A large faux olive tree in a pot to decorate your patio without the worry of keeping the dang thing alive. The look of a real tree without the inconvenience, because not everyone has a green thumb. 🪴👍🏻
Wayfair
Promising review: "They're very realistic looking and are a nice addition to the yard. I would recommend these if you're looking to add some color to your yard or home." — René
2. A six-person dining set so family dinners can be held outside. Reviewers love that the chairs stay cool in the summer heat unlike metal ones, so no more burning your buns!
Promising review:"I'm beyond obsessed with this set. The table is gorgeous and sturdy and we loooove eating on our patio, especially during these cooler days. It was easy to put together, the seats are comfortable and perfect for kids and so easy to clean. Best purchase!" — Vanessa
3. An outdoor bar to expand your storage *and* provide countertop space outside. Wineglass racks and a bottle opener mounted to the side to serve up cocktails to all your guests? Hello, hosting titan!

4. An outdoor firepit that creates beautiful ambience. I have a similar one, and the table is clutch for snacks and drinks.
5. A portable Blackstone 28" griddle so you can sizzle up some steaks in your backyard and pack it away when the weather is gray. With a capacity to cook 44 hot dogs, 18 burgers, or 12 steaks you might want to invite the neighbors over.
Promising review:"We love it. Perfect size, great looking griddle. It was extremely easy to assemble, which I was happy about; my husband was busy doing yard work, so I decided to set it up myself and had it ready to clean and season in less than 20 minutes. Great customer service, too. Very happy with my purchase." — Darleen
6. A disc golf set that's fun for all ages! Set up different spots to throw from all over the yard and keep score because whoever loses has, I mean gets, to make dinner!
Wayfair
7. A steel raised garden bed so you can get your gardening on, right now is the perfect time to start planting. Grow your own nutritious vegetables and grill them up on the barbecue (or griddle).

8. An outdoor umbrella with solar lights to shade you by day and light you up by night. The top-mounted solar panel allows you to have the umbrella anywhere in the yard without worrying about plugging in lights or constantly changing out batteries.
Promising review:"They are the perfect size to place between dining tables outdoors. The lights are warm and inviting. The canopy is more of a cream than a white, but still works well with white linens." — Gina
9. A pirate ship sandbox so your little ones can set sail from the comfort of their own backyard. Let their imaginations run wild. All aboard! 🚢
Wayfair
Promising review:"My two grandsons, 14 months and 2.5, can not get enough of this. It's not big, but they love their pirate ship!!! Keep begging to go outside to play!" — Pamela

Promising reviews:"Perfect accent pillows for the rug! I purchased again, very well made, very weather resistant — water just beads off like it's been waxed but still are extremely comfortable. Love them." — Jay

13. Some butterfly wall decor if you love the look of the fluttery creatures but your backyard is noticeably empty thanks to Fido always trying to jump on them in the grass. Hang them by chain to dangle in the breeze or nail them to the wall.

15. A steel patio gazebo to bring instant elevation to your backyard. Close the screens at sunset to keep those pesky mosquitos out while you pour yourself a crisp glass of white wine.

"I love this GAZEBO!! The only downfall is the instructions! Make sure you put the netting outside of the poles!!! My husband and I weren't aware of this until we noticed bugs coming in, and then we figured it out and put it on the outside. Other than that, LOVE IT!!" — Elisha
16. A round planter that'll bring an upscale, hotel-like look to your yard. These have pre-drilled drain holes to help prevent overwatering.
Promising review:"I bought the 16-inch pot in black, and it's perfect. Exactly what I wanted for our new home. It's a quality piece without being terribly heavy. In my opinion, it's just right. It's not going to tip over but I can move it if I need to without help. I love it!" — Jennifer
17. A trampoline because the kiddos have been cooped up all winter and your ready for them to spend time outdoors. Don't worry, the safety enclosure keeps everyone on the trampoline and not on the lawn.
Wayfair
Promising review:"This was well worth the money!! I got this for my niece's family. They have lots of family and friends over with kids. They all love it. Even the dog, though, I do not recommend the dog usage. Did take few people to set up." — dionisios

22. An outdoor bench that double as storage so you can stuff everything from pool noodles to garden tools if that's more your cup of tea. All-weather resin construction provides water resistance storage so you don't have to worry about it being in the 💦splash💦 zone.
Wayfair
Promising review:"This bench is awesome! It is the exact right size for the space I had by my back door, and it is surprising sometimes how much fits in it. I love that it can be a cute bench to sit on and take boots off, but also holds so much of our outdoorsy stuff like soccer balls, frisbees, and even the toy lawn mower!" — Anonymous
23. Some tool storage to organize everything you use to make your yard look picture perfect. Yard work is tough enough already, don't make finding your tools a chore too.

26. Or a set of two solar lights with a sophisticated and sleek design. These energy-efficient lights have a dusk to dawn sensor so they will automatically turn on when the sun goes down.
Wayfair
Promising review:"Love these! Each is a set of two lights. They look really nice. Very fashionable. They add an element of design to the patio. They are relatively lightweight, which makes them easy to move. And they put out really good light. We have four in total on a very large patio and it really lights things up nicely without being overly bright. Highly recommend!" — Anonymous
