Ponton Living Fireplace I

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I'm consumed with fireplace love for this great design from Wolf Udo Wagner. It's like a little campfire you can bring wherever you want. Safe for both indoor and outdoor use and completely portable it uses bio-alcohol fuel (gel fuel and ethanol are both bio-alcohol fuels) and burns for 1-2 hours a fill.

Cambi table

First to recommend

Description

With it's clean good looks the Cambi table is everything an outdoor table should be. It's got adjustable feet for leveling on uneven surfaces, a perforated top to let the rain fall through, and a central hole for holding the umbrella- all in an absolutely luscious shade of orange.

Playgoda

First to recommend

Description

I have never wanted a backyard play structure as much as I want the Playgoda designs by Gregg Fleishman. I can feel the onset of another design crush coming. Brilliant & beautiful. The snap together structures are suitable for ages 2-5.

Description

The next best thing to a real canopy of leaves is this wonderfully whimsical parasol from Droog. The lace pattern casts ever shifting shadows on sunny days & a little golden bird perches on top. Also available in white.

Outdoor Wireless Router Weatherproof WiFi Signal Booster

2 people recommended this item

Description

Get some sun and get online with this all weather repeater! It will extend your wi-fi signal 500-1000ft (150-350m)-- into the depths of your backyard. The set-up is easy (just plug it in or run it in power over Ethernet mode) so the recipient won't be spending all day setting it up. I just love gifts that give something to everyone.

paisley outdoor mat

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I love polypropylene rugs. They're great protection for floors against grit and general yuk (you know, the kind that comes with kids), they work really well outdoors, and they're inexpensive enough that you can wear them right out without serious regret.

Bridgehampton Beach Chair and Canopy

2 people recommended this item

Description

It's the color combinations and simple lines that make these so utterly fantastic- that and the dual cup holders for double fisted drinkers (or the left handed!).

Tabletop Gel Firepit Small

First to recommend

Description

A perfect tabletop centerpiece for summer parties-- I can already envision it's warm glow illuminating the empty wine bottles and smiling friends. And at 7.8" across it's just big enough to allow maybe one or two roasting marshmallows at a time.

HedgeRow Studios: Custom Handcrafted Patio Umbrellas

First to recommend

Description

The umbrellas from HedgeRow are some of the most elegant and romantic available. When ordering you choose amongst an wide variety of designs with names such as alegra, alura, and constantina- then you choose a umbrella color such as alabaster, coral, mica, lapis or sage (there are 18 choices) and complete the process by deciding the color of the design. Completed umbrellas are glorious and will be right at home in any garden.
