To make that easier for you, we’ve researched top outdoor products analyzed current trends to round up practical patio gifts and accessories, evaluating weatherproof qualities, longevity, and ease of use. Among our top picks are the Lettuce Grow Farmstand Planter, the Chef’n S’mores Marshmallow Roaster, and the Weber Kettle Charcoal Grill. Here are the best patio gifts to suit every budget. All of the gear you need is included in the set, including a water pump, power chord, time, plant food, and pH testing kit to keep your plants bountiful and healthy. Users claim that the setup instructions are super detailed and helpful. Some also shared that their first harvest happened in about one week’s time, so they could enjoy the fruits of their labor quickly and with minimal effort. While definitely expensive, this splurge is worth it for a space-saving garden without the manual labor.
Patio Size
Taking into consideration the size of their patio can help determine what gift you buy. If the space is smaller, buying gifts that are larger and take up volume will only crowd the patio, often resulting in uncomfortable proximity to others during parties or get-togethers. If your recipient has more area to work with, items that seem like extra touches are worth shopping for. Things like large lanterns, sculptures, and furniture could help create balance and an environment everyone will want to spend time in.
Practicality
If you know that the person you’re shopping for isn’t much of a cook, giving them something like a grill or grilling tools won’t be a practical gift. When you’re thinking of what to purchase, make sure to look at the individual you’re shopping for, rather than shopping for yourself or giving what you believe to be appropriate. If they love music, choose the outdoor speaker. If there will be a lot of wining and dining, outdoor tables or serve-ware are safe options. And, when all else fails, simply ask them what they could or could not use to complete the overall look of their patio.
