A pack of garden lights to beautifully light up your outdoor space when nighttime hits. Use these for practical purposes like illuminating a walkway, or just spread them throughout the garden to create a whimsical environment that looks like something out of a Tolkien novel.

A gas firepit table to keep you warm on cold nights. It comes with a glass lid, so when the fire's not in use it can be used as a table. We love a product that does double duty.

A colorfully patterned blowup pool so you can take a dip whenever you want. The vividly colored pattern will add a nice big dose of fun to your outdoor space.

Promising review: "This set is beautiful, good quality — especially for the price and so sleek and bold looking! I ordered this twice because I was so thrilled with the first set I ordered!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available with three cushion colors).

They're solar-powered and automatically turn on at night!

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 $18.99+ (available in two color combos).

Get it from Amazon for $234.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Excellent! Easy to use and clean up. My outdoor patio is a little rough and it took a full gallon to cover 200 square feet." —RLB

Get a gallon from Amazon for $29.31.

Promising review: "I’m shocked by how comfortable this is. It has more cushion to it than my couch. I’m someone who will spend hours on my patio for meetings and such. I put it together by myself. The trick is to put the screws all in before tightening them, otherwise it will seem like they don't fit. Put the screws in and twist a few times. Once you have them all in, then go back and tighten them. Trust me, it’ll save you doing extra work. This set is actually bigger than I expected, table included. Very pleased with this purchase." —Brooke D

Get it from Amazon for $399 (available in three frame colors and four cushion colors).

Promising review: "These LED string lights are easy to install, and make any outdoor area feel special. The wire and fixtures are well made. Remember to put up your lights without the bulbs, this makes accidental damage less likely. Once you are happy with the positioning then add the bulbs." —Jo Robinson

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five lengths and four colors).

Promising review: "Looks great and is comfortable. Hoping it holds up during the summer." —Lelevier

Promising review: "Living in Hawaii, you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adazzle

Get 10 sq. ft from Amazon for $72.15.

The swing comes with chains but if you love the look of the reviewer's setup above, you'll want to pick up some burlap covers.

Promising review: "I am obsessed with my porch swing and impressed with the quality of this product. I've had the swing for about a month now and it looks like new even though it has been through some heavy rain. The customer service is top notch as well. I have high ceilings and needed additional chain links, I emailed them and got it within two days. Can't say enough about this product and the customer service. Highly recommended!" —YP

Get it from Amazon for $118.95+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "I have lacrosse players and dogs and this stuff is amazing. My yard looked like an abandoned lot before this and it literally 'grew anywhere' just like it said. The bag I planted last year actually came back strong this year so I put more down and it is working like a dream!" —chchmom

Get it from Amazon for $16.44+ (available in five quantities).

Beach State is a small business specializing in premium, high-quality beach umbrellas.

Check out a TikTok of the umbrella in action.

Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher end umbrella but still slightly less expensive than the other big name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stays standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The customer service from the company was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn

Get it from Beach State on Amazon for $165 (available in six colors).

Sage Moon Soaps is a woman-owned small business that creates handcrafted all-natural soaps and candles.

Promising review: "Beautifully made. The scent is a strong but pleasant citronella, which tells me the mosquitoes won't know that I exist 🤞. The wood bowl gives it a chic rustic look and the natural decorations are lovely. I am very happy with my purchase." —19jmb77

Promising review: "My favorite purchase for our deck. I LOVE this fire table. Good size, great value compared to what is out there. Packaged nicely. My husband put together alone in 30–45 minutes with no frustration and easy to follow directions. Puts out a decent amount of heat. Enough rocks to adequately cover. Just add your propane tank. I love that it has a lid as well. You will find sturdier fire tables, but not at this price. Excellent value." —Bellium

Get it from Amazon for $169.99.

You can get the canopy here!

What's included: One pillow, two chains, and two S-shaped hooks.

Promising review: "There is nothing more comfortable than being cradled and rocked in a hammock that is comfortable with its padded quilted canvas, built-in pillow, and the size built for two. The craftsmanship and anchors give you a secure feeling." —Just.Rob.Stone

Get it from Amazon for $59.14+ (available in nine colors/prints).

Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in my patio, naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing. Literally spray and leave." —Mark

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and packs of one or two).

Copper Hummingbird 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 non-zookeeper 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 2–3 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

Get it from Copper Hummingbird on Etsy for $34.

Promising review: "Lovely colorful flower pots. Perfect size to hold a single flower and they add such a nice pop of color to my yard. Very easy to hang up, no hardware required! I’m getting a lot of compliments on them. I bought several sets and planted bright flowers in them. I have them lining the inside of my yard and on the front of the house. They add a lot a cheer and homeyness for a simple and cheap project." —Maegan

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in multicolor, black, or white).

The corners of the sails have D rings so you can attach them to whatever you'd like with your choice of hardware or rope.

Promising review: "Purchased this to increase privacy and provide some shade. The color is vibrant, hasn't faded, and the loops are well-stitched. The sail has also fared well in winds, thunderstorms, monsoon rain, and the brutal heat of Vegas. Shade is wonderful and one can definitely feel the temperature difference from full sun to being under this sail. The look and feel compliments our pool area and will certainly be purchasing an additional one." —VHC Media

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 78 sizes and eight colors/patterns).

Each light cycles through red, blue, white, and green.

Promising review: "My pool is so old school and boring that I bought these to liven it up and what a difference!! My pool went from 'meh' to WOW! The balls are easily inflated by mouth like a beach ball. Once inflated, a few hours in the sun and they are charged and ready to go. They light up after dusk ( it has to be rather dark). There is no manual way to power them on or off; they glow all night long. The changing colors are vibrant and very beautiful. They have a loop at the top if you would like to hang them. They would be magical hanging in a tree or from a pergola. I really liked how easy these were to fill and charge, and I like the solar power and the amazing color display. They make my inner child happy." —J. Matheson

Get a set of four from Amazon for $65.99.

Shop Cornhole is a small business specializing in unique and personalized cornhole sets.

Promising review: "We love our new cornhole set! We used it for the first time yesterday and were pleased with the quality and appearance of the boards.

Get it from Shop Cornhole on Etsy for $206.99 (available in 19 bag colors).

Promising review: "Wonderfully sturdy, heavy, and well made. The wind will not blow these pieces anywhere. Beautiful plaster work. I love this set and have gotten so many compliments on it. Perfect for a small space, and the chairs fold up easily when not in use." —Laurie Pitman

Get it from Amazon for $179.69.

Faircraft USA is a Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania-based small business run by a husband-and-wife duo creating beautiful and functional wooden home goods.

Promising review: "Purchased this as a gift for my brother to go with his corn hole boards. It is just as pictured. It seems like it'll be a little low to the ground for taller men standing around a corn hole board...but better than the beers sitting on the ground or in the off hand. Beautiful workmanship. Highly recommend this product and shop!" —Hayley

Get it from Faircraft USA on Etsy for $60.

Promising review: "I’m impressed with these. Assembly was very easy and took little time. I assembled them inside my house and moved them out to the garden afterward. These are good weight to them, even when empty. They feel and look like a high quality product. I used a staple gun and lightly tacked the liner up to the edges of the bed. This made the beds much simpler to fill with soil. A few days after filling with soil and seeds, we had six days of all-day, non-stop rain. The beds held up beautifully and show no signs of wear. I am currently growing a whole crop of gourds in the beds. These are performing beautifully. I am thinking I will buy one or two more. Highly recommended!" —Rae Ablan

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three sizes and colors).

Promising review: "This was one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon. It was easy to assemble and the finished product looks great in my backyard. I planted two tomato plants in the top tier and one in the second tier flanked on each side with basil plants. On the lowest tier I planted lemon cucumbers." —Lewis F. Celli

Get it from Amazon for $64.99.

Get it from Lemon Studio on Etsy for $3.89 (available in white on black or black on white, and with al the common herbs and vegetable names with the option to add a custom name).

Promising review: "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." —R. Latreille

Get it from Amazon for $10.98.

This swinging hammock chair comes with two cushions and installation hardware.

FiveMetalDesign is a Wisconsin-based small business creating metal ring fire pits featuring intricate designs.

Promising review: "Such an amazing firepit!! Excellent quality made with heavy duty material. Precise cutout design. I’ve had so many people ask where I got this because everyone loves it! So glad I bought it." —jashmorehouse

Get it from FiveMetalDesign on Etsy for $196+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "Worth the money! Was looking for a pub-style table with four chairs. This is a decent set for the money. The two lower back chairs are wider at the base but you can't lean back. The two chairs with a back are narrower at the base but are pretty comfortable." —Mada

Get it from Walmart for $359.

Promising review: "We bought this two years ago, and I always appreciate reviewers who've had the product awhile so you can get a feel for how it holds up over time. First, the sofa materials are good quality. The cushions are stiff but comfortable, and they retain their form well over time. We got the cushions in white, and the canvas-y material repels dirt and is easy to spot clean (really, wipe, since it doesn't take much). The frame is sturdy and rigid, and the faux wicker looks as good as the day we bought it — no loose pieces, as can sometimes happen with lower quality products. This sofa is a steal for the price. It looks a lot like much more expensive outdoor sofas, at a quarter of the cost." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $776.35+ (available in three cushion colors).

The Original Tree Swing is a small business based in Minneapolis making rope swings.

Promising review: "This swing is wonderful!! My children have loved swinging on it and it's so pretty to look at when I pull into my driveway!" —Nan Marie Cash

Get it from The Original Tree Swing on Etsy for $165+ (available in four rope lengths)

Promising review: "I applied this product on an uncovered deck, which takes a beating from the sun and rain in the summertime and snow sits on the deck in the wintertime. I've tried several other wood sealers but nothing we have used holds up as well as this product. When it rains you can watch the water bead up and run off so you know that this product is working. I apply this product every summer to my deck to keep it in top shape. I also apply this sealer to the wooden floor of our covered porch and the boards shine like brand new. Probably would not have to apply every year to the covered floor area but I do." —Bubba

Get it from Amazon for $25.22+ (available in nine colors and three styles).

There is also a matching curved walkway, if you need one!

Promising review: "I went back and forth deciding whether I wanted to buy this. I was going to build my own walkway, but the labor involved and price was more than I want to pay. So this option looked appealing and some of the reviews were not positive. But, I absolutely love this walkway and I’ve had it for well over a month now. It still looks like I just purchased it. I live in Florida so the weather is very harsh with heavy rains and extreme heat. This walkway has held up fine." —Jntqnn

Get it from Amazon for $89.95.
