It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and the best way to send the season off is with an epic barbecue. Of course you need food, drinks, friends and good tunes, but there are also some other basic items that will make your summer barbecue even more spectacular.
Misters
The summer months brings the heat! And a great way to cool off while lounging in the backyard is with misters. The great thing about misters is that you can easily turn them on or off and you usually can adjust the strength so that the water isn’t overbearing. Plus, they have misters available that are very subtle looking so they do not stand out like an eye soar.
Slicer
Watermelon is a must in the summer and a watermelon slicer makes prepping your favorite fruit so easy! It isn’t always fun to cut up a watermelon, but with this kitchen gadget, you can get the job done quickly and end up with perfect slices for your guests. And even better news? It is inexpensive and easy to use.
Umbrella
A cute umbrella is a great addition to any backyard. There are a ton of options out there. Try to find one that is retractable and that you can easily move. Not only is it a great place to chill out from the sun, with a variety of styles and sizes to choose from, it is also a nice decoration.
Pitcher
You can’t have a barbecue without cold drinks. A serving pitcher is a must when hosting an outdoor gathering. You can find them in many different styles, colors and sizes. They are perfect to use with matching glasses to serve your guests your favorite refreshing beverage.
Seats
To make sure your guests are comfortable, make sure to have plenty of seating. And don’t be afraid to switch it up! From chairs to benches to loungers, you can have fun with it. For a picnic style barbecue, you can even put out comfortable pillows and blanks on the lawn.
