1. A string of bistro lights so your patio can be enjoyed all year round. This set comes with 48 feet of lights so you can add the perfect amount of ambiance to your outdoor space. Who needs to go to a bistro when you have ambience like this at home?

Wayfair

2. A two-person egg chair with a stand so you won't have to wait for your dog to get out of it for you to enjoy some chair time.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Love, love, love this swing! Me and my main squeeze fit comfortably, and he’s 6’3. Also, I can curl up with a book and lie inside. The cushion is wonderful and waterproof. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone who wants to add to their outdoor living space! ❤️" —Tammy

3. A pair of freezable wineglasses so you can cheers to all the hard work you put into making your backyard into a resort-worthy space. Keep these in the freezer, pour your beverage into them, and enjoy a cold drink that won't get watered down as the temps rise.

Wayfair

Price: $35.99+ (for two glasses; available in two colors)

4. A bar cart so you can keep your cocktail essentials nearby. Nothing says resort like a well-stocked array of mixers and garnishes. It's made of synthetic resin wicker to withstand the elements.

Wayfair

It comes with four weight plates that you'll need to fill with sand or water.

Promising review: "We live in a beach house that has a 12 x 24-foot deck on the front. It is not covered. The umbrella fits nicely out of the way and over our table and chairs to provide awesome shade." —Judith

Price: $140+ (available in 10 colors)

6. A patio daybed to rest your little head on after a long day of pampering yourself. There's nothing better than a nap after a day in the sun, especially if that nap is on a shaded bed while you breathe in fresh air.

Wayfair

It has two small fold-out tables on the side to hold beverages, your phone, etc.

Promising review: "My husband, dogs, and I love this daybed. To make it more comfortable, I put memory foam under the cushions. It's my new reading and lying around with our dog space." —Lisa

Wayfair

Promising review: "This table is very sturdy and worth the money. It is a heavy piece. Bought it last May and kept it outside until February of this year. Withstood lots of rain and cold weather. The bottom shelf is very handy for different types of items and uses. It did fade a little bit, but I expected as much where it’s in direct sunlight for many hours a day." —Noel
