The right playlist can instantly make a summer gathering feel more festive. This portable Bluetooth speaker delivers wireless sound and a color-changing glow, so it's easy to bring music to the backyard, patio or pool without hauling out a larger speaker.
Reusable Cup Set
Price: $5
This four-pack of 16-ounce reusable cups is lightweight, shatter-resistant and ideal for serving lemonade, iced tea, cocktails or mocktails outdoors. Because they're reusable, they'll be ready for backyard barbecues, pool parties and picnics all summer and after. They're also a nicer alternative to disposable cups.
Pool Side Sun Silk SPF 30 Body Cream

Protecting skin from the sun is one of the easiest ways to keep guests comfortable outdoors. Someone almost always forgets sunscreen, so keeping a bottle out for everyone to use is a thoughtful touch during long afternoons outside.
Ring Toss Set
Price: $5
A ring toss game is an easy way to keep guests of all ages entertained while burgers are on the grill or everyone is waiting for food. It's quick to set up and gives both kids and adults something to do while the food is cooking.
Glass Drink Dispenser
Price: $5
A large 127.8-ounce glass drink dispenser makes it easy for guests to serve themselves, reducing the number of drink refills for the host. Fill it with lemonade, iced tea, fruit-infused water or a signature summer punch to make the drink table look more inviting than a few plastic bottles.
Hydraquench Hydration Snack Topper Tray
Price: $5
Even chips and veggies look better when they're served in a divided tray instead of straight from the bag. Fill it with chips, vegetables, fruit or crackers, then use the center compartment for dip to keep everything in one place.
Channel Throw

Once the sun goes down, there's no reason to move the party indoors. A soft 50-inch by 60-inch throw blanket helps guests stay warm and comfortable, so conversations around the fire pit or patio can keep going after sunset.
Citronella Infused Tin Candle
Price: $3
Nothing sends guests indoors faster than mosquitoes. This 2-ounce citronella candle helps keep bugs away while adding a warm glow to patios, decks and backyard tables.
LED Strip Light Set

Good lighting can make a backyard feel more inviting after dark. An LED strip light set adds a fun glow to patios, decks or outdoor bars, creating a more inviting space for evening barbecues, pool parties and summer get-togethers.
Up-Tech Misting Fan
Price: $5
Hot summer days can make outdoor parties uncomfortable. A portable misting fan helps guests stay cool by combining a refreshing breeze with a fine mist, making backyard barbecues, pool parties and patio gatherings much more enjoyable.
