OUTDOOR LIGHTS

Outdoor lights (especially solar lights, which don’t need to be plugged in) are a great way to add ambiance to your backyard or patio. Whether you prefer setting the mood with string lights or LEDs, there are many different ways you can customize your space to make it relaxing and all your own.

BBQ SUPPLIES, A WHOLE NEW BBQ OR A SMOKER

One of the best parts of summer is summer food and cooking it outdoors, are we right? Whether you’re a steak lover or prefer grilled vegetables (or even grilled fruit!), now is a great time to make sure you’re stocked up on all the essentials. Ready to go big or go home (or, in this case, to do both)? Why not purchase a new BBQ or meat smoker? Your housemates are sure to thank you.

ELECTRIC BUG-REPELLING MACHINE

Depending on what area of Canada or the United States you live in, chances are that at least part of your time spent outdoors involves interacting with pesky bugs, like mosquitoes. If citronella candles just aren’t doing the trick anymore, an electric bug-repelling machine may do the trick to help your backyard or patio stay bug-free (or at least to reduce the number of flying pests)! Don’t forget to read the safety instructions before using your device.

A HAMMOCK OR HAMMOCK CHAIR

Other than lounging on a sandy beach (or, depending on who you are, maybe spending time in the mountains), is there anything more relaxing than spending time in a hammock? We think not. During the pandemic, all sorts of hammocks in all shapes and sizes (full size, hammock chairs, portable hammocks, etc.) became super popular as people were confined to their homes. Why not purchase one of your own this summer?

PLASTIC HEDGE PANELS FOR PRIVACY

Those of us who live in condos or apartments know all too well how difficult it can be to maintain privacy when on your balcony. A great solution? Plastic hedge panels. These handy devices can be attached to your balcony railings to help you build a more private environment. Plus, who doesn’t love a touch of added greenery that can’t be killed?
