String lights are one of the best and most inexpensive ways to sprinkle a bit of magic into an outdoor entertainment space. They not only elevate the overall aesthetic, but they're also a very practical way to add a touch of light to any area. These popular globe-shaped lights can stand up to wind and rain and come with 25 bulbs (and two spares) on a 25-foot string. They're easy to hang and they'll look great over your patio, terrace, or deck.
More than 25,000 Amazon shoppers have given the top-rated lights a five-star rating, with many raving about how "beautiful" they looked once hung up in reviews. "These lights are perfect for the backyard. We used them for our gazebo, and they have just the right amount of light for nighttime entertaining or relaxing," one reviewer shared.

The most simple yet delicious food to prepare when entertaining guests is BBQ — few ingredients are needed and very little preparation time is required. But if your old grill has seen better days, this charcoal option by Weber that measures 22 inches is a fantastic choice, especially for those that are limited on outdoor space.
It has a cooking surface that can hold up to 13 hamburgers at one time, and cooking on this durable plated steel grate is even and consistent, thanks to its ability to retain heat. Plus, the bottom of the grill has a convenient, one-touch ash catcher for easy cleaning and disposal.
