1. A set of four multicolored garden stakes that double as drink holders for added convenience. Use them around a firepit, while playing outdoor games, or as you lounge by the pool.
2. A plastic wineglass so you can enjoy a nice drink with the BBQ in your backyard without worrying about the meal ending in shattered glass. It can hold up to 20 ounces and is dishwasher-safe, so you don't have to save it for special occasions (you know, like those other wineglasses you bought but never use).
3. A proper porch swing that's supportive and comfortable. This swing is sun-resistant and waterproof, and can comfortably fit two people. It’s basically begging for you to curl up with a book, or a cocktail! Pro tip: You can also hang this on a sturdy tree branch, or in a swing frame, which can be purchased separately.
4. A large Jenga-like stacking blocks game because who can say no to a little backyard fun? Reviewers love that several people can play at once, and that the blocks come in a convenient carrying case so you can transport them easily.
5. A bottle of the mighty Mike's Hot Honey, which is the ~only~ condiment worth buying. A little sweet and a little spicy, this honey elevates pizza, wings, chicken sandwiches, and more. Drizzle this on just about anything (even ice cream!) and prepare to be amazed.
6. A ceramic citronella candle so you can keep mosquitoes at bay while you enjoy your backyard BBQ in peace. This wax candle comes in a sturdy holder with a speckled design that you can reuse later, and it can burn for hours at a time. In addition to citronella, it also smells like eucalyptus, pine, vanilla, and cinnamon. Yum!
7. A plastic pitcher and tumbler set that’s perfect for serving plenty of water, lemonade, and even margaritas outside all summer long. Each piece in this dishwasher-safe set sports ribbed detailing, and the cups all have a clear blue rim. Plus, you can use this outside with zero stress since it’s not made of glass.
8. A giant yard game ideal for kids or kids at heart. Since this game is designed for outdoor use, each component is water- and weather-resistant. The whole set also comes in a sleek carrying case, which means you can take it anywhere.
9. A portable Bose speaker that lets you listen to music all the time. This durable speaker works indoors or outdoors, is waterproof and has up to 12 hours of battery life. It even floats in water, and lets you make and receive calls via your phone's native smart assistant.
10. A 15-inch Lodge cast-iron skillet capable of giving you that perfect sear on steak, salmon, and more, which can take a meal from good to great. This versatile kitchen must-have comes pre-seasoned, so you don’t need to do it yourself, and works wonders on the grill for summer cookouts. It can also easily go from the stove top to the oven.
11. A two-pack of TikTok-famous Dan-O's seasoning, which you'll want to slather on just about anything that hits the grill. Made with dried herbs, garlic, and more, this low-sodium blend is perfect for seasoning veggies, chicken, pork, and even fish. Sure, it does a bunch of the work for you, but no one needs to know!
Dan O's Seasoning is a small biz that has over three million followers on TikTok because of their yummy food content.
Promising review: "I saw this seasoning on TikTok (like most of you probably have), I didn’t believe the hype at first. I got the two-pack to try. This stuff is amazing!! I love it! It is so good on everything! Can’t believe that it is low sodium because it doesn’t taste like it. I like to add the spicy Dan-O’s to a pizza with pineapple and bacon on it, turns it up to 11!!! I will be ordering more as soon as the stuff I have runs out, for sure!!" —Mike
Get a pack of two (one original, one spicy) from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in a three-pack).
12. A pair of innovative gravity-activated grinders that automatically grind and dispense spices when you turn them over. Plus, a blue light shines when these grinders are doing their thing, ensuring your food will never be under- or over-seasoned again. We love 'em for seasoning burger patties before they hit the grill.
Watch this TikToker use these automatic grinders while cooking here!
Promising review: "These are really beautiful and add the exact touch of copper I was looking for in my space. When using, the end lights up blue which is very cool, gives them a modern feel. They feel heavy and solid, including the clear receptacle that holds the salt/pepper." —Pink Dragon
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors as well as a single grinder).
13. An electric pressure washer with an 1,800-watt motor designed to clean cars, fences, decks, patios, and more. In short, this will make your yard sparkle. Since this machine is equipped with two removable detergent tanks, you can actually tackle a number of cleaning projects at once. Three cheers for efficiency!
This pressure washer has a powerful 1,800-watt motor, five quick-connect spray tips, a 20-foot hose, and a 40.6 fluid ounce detergent tank.
Look at this TikTok to see just how effective this pressure washer really is!
Promising review: "This product did everything as promised. I had used a relative's power cleaner on the siding on my vacation mobile home. There was no setting, and the pressure was too much, and it scored the aluminum siding. With this product, you have all of the separate tips to regulate the pressure of the spray. The tip for aluminum siding worked very well on the siding for my home. It was truly a great experience. I put on the tip for aluminum siding to rinse it and held the spray nozzle very close to the siding, and all of the algae was removed, and my siding looked like new (at 18 years old!). I would definitely recommend this product, which is so reasonably priced for a power washer." —John K
Get it from Amazon for $260.45.
14. A bestselling ice cream scoop with ~thousands~ of 5-star reviews from happy customers. This sleek scoop, which is perfect for a backyard ice cream party, has a curved design that enables it to cut through any pint, including the one that's been languishing in the back of your freezer for months.
Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it had some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe. I am so glad TikTok made me buy this!" —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 18 colors and a two-pack).
15. A tabletop s'mores maker because who has time to build a fire when that s'mores craving strikes? This gadget makes picture-perfect s'mores in seconds and can be used indoors, so you don't have to worry about getting bitten by mosquitoes just to have a treat.
Watch how you can easily and quickly make s'mores with this device on TikTok.
It's super simple to use! Just fill the water reservoir, put your s'mores ingredients on the tray (up to two of them), and pop in the microwave for 30 seconds. The marshmallow and chocolate will heat at the same time!
Promising review: "I got this to make family night more fun for my kids. They loved it and were able to use it safely. I had to remind my son to ask for help reaching the other side of the serving trays because he could have burned his wrist. Obviously it does get hot, so I supervised, especially with my younger ones. It takes some time to warm up. The coil will turn red. When this happens, you can roast. If you don’t wait, it seems like it isn’t working. It roasts them golden, and they puff up without being blistering hot. They’re hot enough to melt the chocolate around it’s edges but leave it solid in the middle. I think this would make a great gift, especially around the holidays at a gift exchange." —mj345
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five styles).
16. A set of curtain string lights that are as fantastical as they look. With eight different modes, you can use these lights to create a whimsical vibe inside or outside. What's not to love about that?!
BTW: This does not include a curtain, you can add it over any curtain or tapestry.
Promising review: "I’m so happy with these lights! It took a few minutes to get them unraveled, but using zip ties to hang them made it quick and easy. My house feels so cozy now, just in time for the long winter season." —G.S.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
17. A bottle of concrete oil stain remover in the event that you need to tackle tough oil and grease spots plaguing your garage, driveway, and other porous exterior surfaces. Brake fluid and the like are no match for this cleaner, which contains no acid or bleach. To use, just apply it to a stain, let it dry, and brush any leftover residue away.
18. A woven placemat with a multicolored pattern if you want to add something bright to your outdoor dining table. These sturdy Pioneer Woman placemats are easy to clean and durable enough to function as trivets if needed.
19. A frozen drink maker from Drew Barrymore for those who love to whip up their own refreshing slushies or cocktails during outdoor gatherings. This appliance can blend 10 drinks in 60 seconds, and comes with an easy-flow dispenser so serving is simple. Plus, it can also make snow cones!
20. A classic metal pergola with a retractable UV- and fade-resistant canopy so you (and your pals) can enjoy your backyard for as long as the weather allows. All you need to do is grab a drink and relax!
21. An outdoor hammock made of weather-resistant polyester that’ll help you better enjoy those warmer days. This padded hammock has room for two people, and comes with a matching removable pillow for added comfort.
22. A Pioneer Woman hummingbird feeder fit for any budding birdwatcher. This floral-print feeder, which can hold up to 20-ounces of nectar, has a perching ring so birds feel comfortable, six feeding ports, and a built-in ant moat to deter unwanted pests.
23. A stainless-steel firepit to make your outdoor space worthy of some epic gatherings, even as it gets cooler. This pit comes with a wood pack, a rain cover, and a removable ash pan for easy cleanup.
Promising review: "This firepit offers all the ambience you need. It is super easy to start the fire, and the wood packs make it easier, if that’s what you’re looking for. The fire gets going fast and develops a nice hot ember bed (all from one pack). I was very impressed and wasn’t expecting that. This could be used without the wood packs if you have your own wood. Either works perfect. The pit sits off the ground and flames are contained well within the pit. The design was done very well. Lastly, the heat this throws off is amazing. I was sitting a couple of feet away and felt a lot of warmth. This isn’t one of those pits you have to hover over for heat." —Michele R
Get it from Amazon for $295.
24. Breathe new life into your patio, balcony, or backyard with these interlocking Teak tiles. Believe it or not, they'll transform your space into a peaceful oasis. If you don't have any outdoor space, don't fret. These tiles also look stunning at the bottom of your shower for a very spa-forward upgrade.
25. A weather-resistant patio table with a built-in wine and beer cooler that’ll keep your beverages ice cold no matter how warm it is outside. The brown rattan exterior is chic, while the cooler can hold up to 40 12-ounce cans and has a drainage plug for easy cleanup.
26. A rectangular inflatable pool that'll help you beat the heat whenever it gets a little too sticky for your liking. Much easier to maintain than an above-ground pool, this oversized number can fit several people and be inflated in just three minutes. Pro tip: When winter rolls around you can use this as a ball pit!
This pool is 120"x72"x22".
Promising review: "Great little pool. Big enough for my wife, son, and me to sit and splash around. Honestly more convenient than going to the public pool and dealing with crowds, other kids, and loud noises. Fills up in about 30 minutes and blows up in about five minutes. Drains a little slow but folds nice and stores when we are done." —Tim R.
Get it from Amazon for $84.98.
27. A portable Cuisinart vertical smoker because the best way to ensure your yard is ~the~ place to be is by feeding your neighbors delicious grub. This backyard appliance can smoke a variety of foods, including brisket, ribs, and turkey, and allows you to control the exact amounts of heat and smoke while cooking for the best results.
Promising review: "So far I've smoked a pork tenderloin, chickens, Cornish game hens, a prime rib, and an 18-pound turkey. I couldn't be happier with the way everything has turned out. This product is incredibly easy to use: you just set the temperature, put the meat inside the smoker, and walk away. It doesn't use an open flame so it's great for apartment balconies where you might not be allowed to grill. Cooking and cleaning are both easy, and I'd recommend this product for beginners and experts alike." —William H.
Get it from Amazon for $259.54.
28. An outdoor fan because a steady breeze makes all the difference on a hot day. Mount this must-have in the corner of your deck and you'll be surprised by how much more enjoyable your backyard is. Who's ready for game night?!
This weatherproof fan has a fully sealed and permanently lubricated industrial motor to protect it against wetness.
Promising review: "Great fan at a good price! I bought this fan for my backyard to help circulate the air in hot days and to help deter mosquitoes at night around the firepit. This fan worked perfectly. It has three speeds, the highest of which is super strong. The fan at high speed is a bit noisy, but nothing unexpected of a powerful fan. It is also 100% waterproof, which is a must. My only minor issues would be 1) it would be nice if the fan came with a cover for when it’s not used (I bought 20-inch tire storage covers to do the job), and 2) the fan is only adjustable up and down not side to side — if they could make it oscillate that would be great. Having said that, I would recommend this fan for sure and would not hesitate to buy it again." —Bigdad
