Essentials for a Cozy Bonfire Night
Fall has officially begun! The leaves are turning orange and the temperatures are becoming a bit chillier. It’s the perfect time to invite your family and friends over for a cozy bonfire night. Here are some essentials to host the perfect evening.
Woodland Direct Evening Sky Fire Pit
Woodland Direct makes some of the best fire pits you can find, and this one is sure to impress everyone. This steel fire pit has a gorgeous patina finish with cutouts of the moon and stars — perfect for a cool, starry night. Gas fire pits may be easier to get started, but there’s something comforting, cozy and nostalgic about burning wood instead.
Hydro Flask All Around Tumbler
Whether you’re drinking an ice-cold cocktail, hot chocolate or apple cider, you’ll want to keep your beverages at their ideal temperatures. It’s doubly important for hot drinks, since fall nights can get pretty chilly after the sun goes down. Hydro Flask has the best tumblers on the market. The All Around version can keep beverages at their desired temperatures for up to 24 hours.
Hayneedle Achla Curved Backless Bench
Chances are you’re not going to have enough lawn chairs for everyone, and not all guests are going to remember to bring their own. These curved benches from Hayneedle — made with eucalyptus wood, which resists insects and mildew — are a simple solution. Invest in a few, and you’ll have plenty of space for everyone.
Hershey’s S’mores Stainless-Steel Two-Prong Fork
A bonfire night wouldn’t be complete without s’mores. They’re a crowd-pleaser for all ages. Once you’ve purchased all your sweet essentials, you’ll need some skewers to roast your marshmallows. A two-prong skewer will do the trick, since it will keep the marshmallow in place as you debate with friends and family whether a golden brown or completely charred marshmallow tastes better.
Redbubble Harvest Haven Throw Blanket
You may already be bundled up in sweaters and coats for your outdoor evening, but true comfort and coziness is achieved only with a soft throw blanket. To keep your guests in the autumn mood, consider buying some adorable fall-themed blankets like this one from Redbubble.
Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker II
With a Bose Bluetooth speaker, it’s easy to connect a phone and hear your favorite Spotify playlists all evening. You’ll just need to decide which of your guests is granted the privilege of playing DJ for the night.
Thermacell Radius 2.0 Zone Mosquito Repellent
If there’s one thing that can ruin any outdoor party, it’s pesky mosquitoes. Bug spray can do the trick, but no one enjoys the lingering smell of DEET. Do your guests a favor and invest in this electrical mosquito-repellent device that provides protection within a 15-foot zone around you. It’s also rechargeable and scentless.
Costway Portable Aluminum Folding Picnic Table
This portable aluminum table will become your new staple for all outdoor gatherings. It can easily be moved from location to location, and it’s extremely versatile. For a bonfire night, it could be transformed into a s’mores station or hot chocolate bar.
With a little bit of preparation, your bonfire night will be one to remember! If you’re all seated around the fire and someone asks where you got your Bluetooth speaker or cozy blankets, don’t be afraid to weave Rakuten and your referral link into the conversation. Happy fall!
