The Best Amazon Finds For Outdoor Entertaining This Summer

Eating and drinking outside is meant to be fun—why dampen the mood with boring plates? Amazon’s 12-piece melamine set comes in a seriously amazing 27 varieties.

Textured hobnail glasses are a granny-chic secret weapon. The classic look is perfect for outdoors in a thick shatter-proof plastic. Bonus: They’re dishwasher-safe.

Wooden salad bowls and servers are relatively outdoors-friendly, but if in your household they’re likely to get scratches, dents, dings, or left outside, consider buying a lookalike set.

There are dozens of spots around the kitchen where wire baskets come in handy, and that versatility translates to the great outdoors. Use them to ferry essentials to and from the kitchen and patio or get creative and display cutlery, limes and lemons, and extra bottles.

When the sun goes down, temps can dip, causing even the sunniest afternoon to turn surprisingly nippy. Keep the party going for easily chilled guests with this Amazon best-seller.

Plastic wine glasses are invaluable when it comes to toasting al fresco. Don’t just use them for boozing either—fresh lemonade or ice cream sounds just as appealing.

Surrounding yourself with stuff that’s green and growing feels like the whole point of being outside. If you’re supplementing your garden with some store-bought varietals, pick up a planter with style.
