Summer Entertaining Savings

It's almost deck party season, so stock up your patio and save 20% on all Summer Entertaining items in May. Here are just a few of our faves:

Pitcher The Takeya Fruit Pitcher is a must-have for outdoor entertaining this season because it allows you to be creative with your beverages. Create fruit-infused water like strawberry/kiwi, cucumber/mint, lime/raspberry and tangerine/lemon. Experiment with your favorite flavors!

GoVino You no longer have to worry about valuable wine glasses breaking during a party. The shatterproof GoVino Wine Glass is great for outdoors, especially for concerts and evenings when you're enjoying a nice glass of Rose. Prefer bubbly? There's a set for that, as well.

Keep pesky pests away without a chemical smell with our Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles.

Popcorn Everyone loves a popcorn party, so try our new Outdoor Campfire Popcorn Popper that can be used over the campfire in the summer and on the stove top throughout the rest of the year. No word yet on whether Shelley will be taking this with her on the Appalachian Trail this summer!

Please note: Grilling items are not included in the Summer Entertaining sale.
