We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A two-burner gas grill that's sleek and compact so even those of us with the smallest outdoor spaces can cook up some burgers and hot dogs. It simply wouldn't be summer without a good old-fashioned BBQ.
2. A five-piece sectional set with removable ottoman so you can arrange it anyway you see fit. Remember what I said about bringing your living room outside? I was being very serious.
3. An outdoor rug that'll be the foundation of introducing elements of your living room into your backyard until it becomes just as cozy.
4. A solar-powered lantern for a little ambience in your backyard. Hang it from a tree or get a few and line them up along your patio so you can sit back and enjoy complete serenity.
5. A fade and water resistant ottoman so you can kick your feet up and relax. It has a tropical design that'll bring a little paradise to your backyard...ahem...I mean ~oasis.~
6. A chic 3-piece metal mesh patio set that's so nice it looks like it belongs inside. It's rust-resistant so it'll be serving those modern looks on your patio every summer from here on out.
7. A super inviting reversible outdoor throw pillow for a little decorative flair that'll make your space even cozier.
8. An oversized chaise lounge chair that'll make you feel like you're in a poolside resort as you soak up the sun.
9. A set of classy outdoor plastic dinner plates because we're getting fancy this summer and saying goodbye to wasteful paper plates without dirtying (or damaging) our normal kitchenware.
10. An outdoor waste bin for easy-peasy cleanup after your BBQ. It's made from durable resin and has a bottom panel that prevents leaks. Helloooo carefree summer. 👋👋👋
11. A solar-powered light-up umbrella that's got your back day and night. Stay cool under the shade during the day and enjoy a little ambience with twinkly LEDs at night. You're officially never leaving your backyard.
12. An indoor/outdoor bar cart to add a fun burst of color to your patio. Wheel it to wherever you're lounging and have all your sunbathing necessities — and summer bevvies — at your fingertips.
13. A three-piece rust-resistant bistro set so you can make the most of the summer weather and enjoy your morning cup of coffee...or sunset cocktail...in your new and improved backyard.
14. A modern dining set with swivel chairs. Need I say more? We brought the living room outside, now we're bringing the dining room. Besides, eating indoors in the summertime is blasphemous.
15. An acacia wood rocking chair set so you and your partner don't have to fight over who gets to sit in the fun chair.
16. A woven cotton hammock complete with hammock stand. No trees? No problem. Imagine naps in this bad boy. Oh, yes.
17. A hanging boho rope hammock chair that's going to be the most coveted spot in your backyard. Buyer beware: this chair might cause some minor arguments between you and your family members over who gets to sit in it. My advice is get out there early and claim it for the day.
18. A grill topper pan so you can expand your horizons from the usual BBQ meal and cook up something gourmet without worrying about the extremely annoying task of cleaning the grill after. Grill brushes are sooo last summer.
19. An outdoor projector set that'll take your movie nights to a whole new level. The projector itself is compatible with your phone or laptop and comes on a tripod with full-motion movement.
20. A fun sprinkler system for those of us who aren't blessed with a pool. Your kids will love it and it'll save you from the hassle of daily trips to the local pool or water park.
21. A set of water-repellent outdoor cushions so it won't be the end of the world when you accidentally leave them out during a storm. Just wipe the water away and pretend like nothing happened.
22. A hanging jute and stoneware planter that will be the pièce de résistance to your boho-inspired porch.
23. A string (or two) of bistro lights to hang from your porch, railings, trellis, or gazebo to make your backyard even more homey. Like that's even possible at this point. 😝
24. A three-piece bar island so you can whip up some signature, summer cocktails and then sit back and enjoy them with somebody special. It's got a roomy bottom shelf that's perfect to store your outdoor barware. No more trips to and from the kitchen.
25. A pretty little ceramic wind chime that'll bring some gentle and soothing tones to your outdoor space. Peace at last.
26. A few solar-powered pathway lights to illuminate your walkway or garden without your electricity bill dimming down your bank account.
27. An adorable pool float so you can channel your inner sloth and do nothing but lay back and chill in your pool all day.
28. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker because how are you going to truly relax in your pool without your favorite summer tunes blasting in the background?
29. A 17-piece stainless steel BBQ toolset with everything you need to prepare your favorite yummy summer dishes. Move over Bobby Flay, there's a new grill master in town.
30. A rolling cooler cart so you really never have to make a trip back to the kitchen. It has a bottle opener, drainage cap, and eight quart capacity...basically, it's got it allll.
31. An outdoor fire pit with a cooking grill grate so you don't have to trek all the way to the woods for some good ol' camping fun. S'mores anyone?
