It’s about this time every year that we begin to plan and scheme, wish and dream about upcoming backyard parties and fantastic summer entertaining. Inevitable at least some portion of every weekend will be spent standing at the patio doors gazing out into the backyard, creating a mental wish-list of those things to make our outdoor entertaining the best ever. Perhaps you’re incurable like us. So let’s have a little fun.
Here’s the scenario, set aside reality for a moment and envision you are walking by your favorite outdoor living store – you know, the one that has every conceivable tool, accessory, piece of décor you could ever want for your outdoor entertaining. Now imagine the owner steps out, smiles and hands you a $1000 store gift card to be spent however you would like.
How would you spend it?
Here’s how it works:
- Let’s use Amazon’s Outdoor Entertaining area as our starting point so we are all looking at the same prices, etc.
- Surf around the site and find those items you think would make your backyard parties the best of the year.
- Share with us in the comments section below what items you would pick and why you picked those items. Include a link if you would like.
What would you get?
- Perhaps one of those mosaic tile fire pits with everything you would need for making oodles smores
- Maybe some stylish barware & tableware and striking outdoor lighting to eat by
- How about a grill and all the tools, accessories and cookware to be the master of the flame you and your guests might need
- Maybe some stylish rattan furniture
Don’t get too wrapped up in the details, just pick your list and let us know.
We all look forward to seeing what’s on your wish list for this years outdoor parties!♦
Great idea!! I have been daydreaming about upcoming summer parties with all our friends!
So, let’s see… here are a few items on my entertaining wish list:
-The rattan cooler / cocktail tables – Mojitos anyone?
-Uniflame Granite top outdoor fire bowl – AWESOME!!
-Portable speakers to keep the party going!
Anything left over would go to a beverage dispenser or some grill items for the hubby. Boy, I was efficient at spending that money – thanks for the momentary escape! Gotta go, I do think I saw a couple things I simply can’t live without this year.
I plan for a little patio make-over this year, so probably wouldn’t have any troubles blowing through that budget.
-Would definitely get a couple Loft Hammered Drink Dispensers to replace the one I broke last year
-The Living Accents slate server cart – perfect for a portable bar
-St. Thomas cast fire pit with table http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W9BP44
-The Strathwood Griffen all weather wicker 3 seat sofa and accompanying chairs and coffee table http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T60BE0
That should be close. Thanks for the fun!
