Mom and Dad can be difficult to shop for—you want to find them something they’ll love, but you don’t want to keep giving the same run-of-the-mill presents. With summer around the corner, your parents may be looking to spend more time outside, so why not give Mom and Dad a fun outdoor living gift that’s perfect for their backyard or patio? Whether your parents enjoy playing games with the family, tending to their vibrant garden, hosting a backyard barbeque, or simply soaking up the sun, there’s an outdoor living gift for everyone’s needs.
Here are a few unique ideas to get you started:
Giant checkers and tic-tac-toe game
For parents who are always ready for some friendly competition, an extra-large board like this one is perfect for backyard game nights, featuring both tic-tac-toe and checkers. This board is made of EVA foam that’s weather resistant and nonslip, and it comes with a canvas carry bag so they can take their checkers championships on the go.
Grill pan with a detachable handle
No barbeque is complete without a delicious grilled meal, but it’s tricky to cook up vegetables and other smaller foods without losing them in the grate. Help Mom and Dad out with a handy non-stick grill pan, complete with a detachable handle that lets them close the grill lid while they’re cooking.
Adult-sized inflatable pool
Who says inflatable pools are just for kids? This nautical-themed version fits up to three adults and would make a great addition to your parents’ backyard oasis! Whether they’re throwing a weekend pool party or just want to take a relaxing dip, they can easily inflate the pool with a standard air pump or a hairdryer set to cool.
Gardener’s tool seat
This multi-use gift is a gardener’s dream! Functioning as both a lightweight stool and a tool bag, this convenient item will make Mom and Dad’s lives a lot easier when they’re spending some time in the dirt. The seat is made of steel and water-resistant nylon, and the bag can easily detach to become a portable tool carrier.
Glass bird cafe
With its unique shape and beautiful design, this blown-glass bird café is a must-have for any yard and looks especially beautiful when the sunlight hits. Your parents can use the sturdy rope attachment to hang it up, fill the feeder with bird seed and watch as feathered guests come flocking to their backyard.
Hammock chair swing
Give your loved ones the gift of relaxation with an attractive and comfortable hammock chair swing! This stylish seat is sturdy, easy to hang and comes with removable seat and back cushions. Mom and Dad can enjoy a good book or a cozy nap from under a tree, on their covered patio or anywhere they choose.
2-in-1 side table and cooler
We’re a big fan of multi-tasking gifts, and we think your parents will be too! If they’re avid outdoor entertainers, they’ll likely love this 2-in-1 side table and cooler. Their guests can grab an icy-cold beverage from the bottom portion, then use the top as a drink table! Adjust the height of the table by elevating the lid or pressing it down. This cooler is easy to clean and even comes with a built-in drain for melting ice.
Outdoor projector
Lights, camera, action! Grab some popcorn, because your parents will be excited to use this outdoor projector. Lightweight and portable, this device supports multiple inputs, including Bluetooth, and comes with a convenient remote control. They can hang up a plain white sheet to create their own movie theater under the stars, or you might consider picking up a portable projector screen for them as well!
