#1 – Solar Up-Lights
This set of solar up-lights are exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to have lights that face up to put inside our patio planters that hold our Majesty Palm Trees. I didn’t want to mess with wires and cords with a typical electric set of landscape lights, and I wanted something that is weatherproof. This set performs just as I was hoping for!
I placed one of these lights in each of our palm tree planters. The lights sit flush on the soil and are barely noticeable by day. The solar lights charge up by day and automatically turn on at dusk. The light is a soft white light and illuminates the fronds of the palm trees in an interesting way. The patio looks so elegant at night – it makes us feel like we’re at some fancy tropical resort. So relaxing!
This light set could also be used in the ground along a pathway or sidewalk, or in the landscaping around a deck or patio. I think the lights would also look awesome lining the driveway. So many ways to use these lights!
#2 – Tabletop Fire Bowl
Turn up the heat on your patio with this tabletop fire bowl!
This small, portable fire bowl adds interest to any deck or patio. The flames are relaxing and you can even make s’mores over them.
The fire bowl runs on gel fuel and the flame makes a crackling sound like a real campfire. The bowl is made of concrete with a natural finish. A perfect centerpiece for patio parties and star gazing.
#3 – White Melamine Paper Picnic Plates
Have a classic picnic with these melamine plates that look like traditional paper plates. They’re so cool!
Because they’re made of melamine, they’re reusable. They’re also safe for using outdoors without the worry of them breaking or shattering. Perfect for backyard picnics, reunions, weddings, or buffet dinners on the deck. And I’m sure your guests will love them!
The plates can also be used indoors – they’re fun for birthday parties and casual dinners with friends and neighbors. Use the plates along with the classic red and white checkered napkins for a fun look. If you prefer, the plates can also be used on a buffet table as trays to hold snacks, treats, and other tasty foods. Be creative!

NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
