Sure, as noted in Tuesday’s post about clothes to wear when it’s HOT AS BALLS (apologies for the indelicacy), it’s steamy out there. But you still might have some festive summer-y outdoor events to attend — it cools down in the evenings, a little, anyway, right? Perhaps you’re going to an outdoor movie screening or a concert or meeting friends in the park for charcuterie and gossip and wine. Maybe you’ve got a pool and you like to sit by it and chat! You very well may have multiple occasions to use, for example, acrylic wine glasses. (I just take mine onto my patio.) You can also get these pink acrylic coupes! They’re so cute. (Or margarita glasses!) I also love these melamine plates with people swimming and playing tennis on them. This faux wood serving bowl is great — and there’s a matching platter, too. And these melamine dishes are SO good — they look like Sicilian maiolica ceramics.
I also really recommend getting little portable, cordless table lamps — these are well-priced and well-reviewed at Target, and I was gifted one of these when I got married and it was one of our best gifts. They are SO HANDY if you want to be able to see your charcuterie once it gets a little darker. (They’re also useful if your power goes out.) And these vintage plastic 1970s “picnic balls” are PERFECT. (There are a lot of them on Etsy if that one is sold out.) Look at this clever wine tote — it comes with glasses, napkins, and a corkscrew! And these outdoor wine bottle covers are GENIUS.
