Backyard Entertaining

A few of our most-loved and used products for time spent outside.

Portable LED Table Lamp: I actually purchased this to use in the hospital during labor and delivery and it’s one of our most-used products in the house. We ended up buying a couple more and keep them in our bedroom or guest bathroom when we have visitors. They’re surprisingly affordable and give off a perfect warm glow.

Dearborn Glasses: By far most reached for glassware. These were a wedding gift that I’ve since gifted to other couples because they are just the loveliest to drink from—wine, water, cocktails, you name it.

Handwoven Rattan Tray: I believe this tray was double the price when I first purchased them a few years ago but now they’re under $40 so snag them while you can. It’s far more sturdy than I was anticipating and we use them every single day for transporting meals around the house or bringing snacks out from the kitchen to the back patio. Would also be a great tray for an upholstered coffee table or ottoman.

Filson Rugged Twill Log Carrier: We love having small outdoor fires in the yard (little fires everywhere vibes) and a good, durable log carrier is an essential—no one needs logs falling on their toes. We’re huge Filson fans and I bought this exact carrier for my in-laws a few years back. Love these options here and here as well.

Hemstitched Tablecloth: While I do quite enjoy a raw weathered wood table, I equally enjoy a nice tablecloth draped over. Some of my favorites have been from Zara as of late. They have lots of staple neutrals but also some really fun patterns.

Striped Linen Napkins: I love a classic linen napkin. These are great but you can also find more affordable options like this set via Etsy.

Dover White Dinner Plates: We registered for these plates and adore them for both indoor use and outdoor. We also have quite a bit of melamine/unbreakable tabletop pieces but if you’re hosting adults or people who aren’t too heavy handed, I like the idea of using actual dinnerware.
