Recommended Outdoor Items

Mommy's ONLY! I received this as a gift and LOVE IT! I don't let any of the kids or their friends touch "Mommy's float" -- it's so comfortable, doesn't get hot, and keeps parts of my body out of the water so I can get some sun and relax!

Description goes hereA few years ago we moved into a new house and have a small area we wanted to make into an outdoor living space. This patio set allows two chairs to "nest" into the bigger chairs so it takes up less space when not in use. They are really well designed and all of the pieces are completely modular and you can create many different arrangements. The cushions store under the chairs and in the ottomon that comes with the set. We live in rainy Seattle and after a few seasons the wicker and cushions are all still looking great! We loved it so much we actually bought another set to add more pieces.

We have a few garden beds and this year we planted a few different lettuces, tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, peppers, and many other things. Instead of buying those tomato cages and or pricy trellises, I tried these garden stakes instead. I love how they are like kid's connector toys. You can make them super tall as your plants grow and really customize them to what you need. They are super handy!

We love camping and a few years ago we went with a friend that had this Coleman Dark Room Skydome tent. The following camping trip we took, we replaced our old tent with this and love it. It is actually VERY dark, which is super lovely when the PNW summer sun starts coming up at 5:00am! This makes sleeping-in, while camping, much easier. It's also a bit taller than an average tent, so a bit more head room, which is very nice.

Best summer fun ever! Keeps the kids cool for hours, and the 360 spray covers the whole trampoline. Easy to set up and net-safe.

No more bug bites without sticky sprays. Cute designs, safe ingredients, and they actually work!

Where are my sweaty kids at?? I know my youngest LOVES this mineral powder sunscreen for the hot days. So convenient for touch-ups! Non-toxic, mess-free, and my kids don’t fight me when I apply it—huge win.

I have always been on the hunt for the perfect lake/ pool float. From starting all the way at the bottom by straddling a life jacket, to the full layout sticky lounger floats, to the large foam noodles (which I LOVE), to now the perfect reclining seat pool float. The straps look overwhelming, as there are 4 adjustable straps, however you can adjust while in the seat to fit whatever mood you are in. My husband and I both recommend.

This baby is perfect for any on the go moment! We used all summer at the ball field, lake time and long road trips to Texas. There are added accessories, including a long ice pack for the middle that not only keeps your products cold, it helps with packing! Do you like chilled wine?? There an accesory to keep you wine bottle up. Even includes a pouch for dry snacks. Then, lets not forget about the strap. Its never too heavy due to the size and ergonomics of the cooler. I have a fun purple color, not all are offered here on Amazon at this time.

Not sure how, but I have bought this bag of hair ties multiple times. I am always throwing my hair in a messy bun-- these do NOT tear my hair up. You can wear them as tight as you need. Great for myself and my daughter. For more fun, they're offered in lots of colors! I keep these stashed everywhere. They even work as great cat toys... as soon as the bathroom drawer opens up, Willie is running to steal one or two.

Every home should and could have these lights!! We have ours on year round. It’s all controlled from our Govee app. There are preset settings you can apply, or create your own! Tons of color choices, you control the brightness and contrast, they can be blinking, chasing or solid. We change ours up all the time, depending on the season. Christmas, USA, Halloween and most nights a solid warm white to give a nice glow around the house. A major bonus, they have adhesive on the back of the light to make it easy to hang and never have to mess with again. No begging your husband every Christmas to hang lights on the house. To ensure he never has to hang lights again, my husband found 3D printed brackets for the lights on eBay, these things will never come down. Watch on Black Friday and Prime Day (or follow The Recommenders)—these go on sale a lot and when they do, they will let you know!

If we are out enjoying the back patio, we have at least one of these going. Our back patio is 50 yards from a large pond and during the summer an above ground pool. We may have gotten 1 mosquito bite all summer. These are so easy to use, do not smell and easy to get refills.
