Here are all the elements you’ll need to make backyard fires a social staple this fall. 

S’Mores Caddy- Think of this as a tacklebox for your s’mores supplies! Take this camping or pack it up for a backyard hang with the family. 

Telescoping Roasting Sticks- Foraging for sticks in your yard or unfolding wire hangers is so 1900s! These telescoping sticks keep everyone safe while making s’mores or roasting weenies. 

Portable Outdoor Folding Table- There’s nothing worse than sitting around a fire and realizing there’s nowhere to rest your drink while you chat. A few of these folding tables will give everyone a space to place items while chatting around the fire pit.  

Pendelton Sherpa Blanket- While the fire will provide warmth, sometimes you need just a bit more help to ward off the cold. This cozy blanket from this classic brand is a perfect way to cozy up next to the fire. 

Ceramic Speckled Mugs- A soothing cup of cocoa will always pair well with a fire pit. These mugs have the classic look of speckled tin mugs, but are made of more insulated ceramic instead.  

S’Mores Hot Cocoa Mix- This cocoa mix features all the signature flavors of s’mores in a comforting cup. Grab a mug of this on a night when you’ve forgotten the marshmallow for s’mores. 

Solar Powered String Lights- These lights are powered by the sun and will provide the more beautiful ambient light on evenings when the sun sets early. 

Octagon Serving Tray- Save yourself multiple trips back to the kitchen with the help of a serving tray. You can look like the host with the most by showing up with a tray full of delicious munchies or more for your guests.   

Unbreakable Wine Glasses- These stemless glasses work well for wine, fireside glasses of whiskey, or any other drinks. The shatterproof design is great for dark evenings around the fire without the fear of breaking. 

Rock Speakers- What are you listening to around the fire pit? Whether you’re in the mood for easy jazz, soft bluegrass, or soothing piano, these outdoor speakers will make the music match the mood. The camouflaged design makes them easy to hide in your yard, while providing great sound for your gathering.   

“On a Stick” Cookbook- You can roast more than just hot dogs and s’mores on a campfire! This cookbook has delicious ideas that everyone will enjoy! 

Fire Extinguisher- Keep your backyard fires safe by keeping this fire extinguisher handy. Along with practicing safe fire building practices, this device can save lives. Don’t plan your next fire pit hang out without one!
