#1 – Outdoor Stainless Steel Wine Glasses with Lids and Straws
Just what you need for your next patio party – stainless steel wine glasses! Serve your favorite cold beverage in these glasses, pop on the lid to keep pests out, slip in a straw and serve!
This set of glasses work great for hot or cold beverages – use them in the Summer for patio parties, and in the Fall and Winter for hot cocoa around a campfire. The glasses are double insulated, so they keep cold beverages cold and hot beverages hot for the length of your get-together. The included straws are also stainless steel, making this set very easy to clean. Because the glasses are made of stainless steel, they also work great for sipping drinks around a pool – no worries of broken glass.
What favorite beverage would you serve in this set?
#2 – Solar Lantern with Shepherd Hook
Add a touch of art deco decor to your yard and landscaping with this solar lantern – complete with shepherd hook.
This light can be used with the included shepherd hook to light a sidewalk, pathway through a garden, or even to provide light at night to your mailbox area. The metal lantern has cut-outs in it to allow the light to cast patterns on the surrounding surfaces.
Hang the lantern on a deck or patio to provide interesting light in the evenings when relaxing. Hang the lantern from a tree to accent the tree at night. You could even hang the lantern from a patio table umbrella at night for a soft glow while dining. The lantern would also look perfect nestled among the flowers and plants in a garden or near a water feature. So many ways to use this lantern!
#3 – Round Cake Pan / Tray
Okay – hear me out on this one. A round stainless steel cake pan makes an awesome single-serving tray. The cake pans are inexpensive, fit with any decor or party theme, and they can be used as cake pans when you’re not using them as trays!
I love using these cake pans for outdoor movie nights, patio parties, and snacks around the pool. The 8-inch diameter size makes them perfect for serving individual trays of cheese, sausage, and crackers. They also work well for holding fresh fruit and dip, chips and dip, marinated pretzels, and other Summer snacks – including acting as a drip-tray for popsicles.
The cake pans stack easily when not in use, so they’re convenient to have on hand. You can dress them up with fancy napkins, or keep them plain and simple (and elegant) just the way they are. When using the cake pans as individual party trays, use a strip of washi tape on the bottom and write the name of each guest – that way, everyone can keep track of which tray is theirs. You can also tie a piece of colorful baker’s twine around the outside of each pan as another way of helping guests identify which tray is theirs. Be creative! So tell me – now that I’ve put the idea in your head – how are you going to use these cake pans as trays?

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
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!
