Last Minute Gift Ideas for the Outdoor Living Lover Christmas is just a week and half away; do you have all of your shopping done? Me neither. As we at Renew Crew are happy to be in the outdoor living industry, we wanted to offer you some ideas for the person on your list that loves the outdoors. We hope it helps! If your friend of family member likes to cook or dine outdoors, consider a set of outdoor dishes as a gift. A few years ago that may have meant some plastic or paper plates, but outdoor dining has come a long way. Dishes are now not only made for the outdoors, but they are beautiful too. You are sure to find something in a color or design that the recipient will enjoy. Sometimes people just want something beautiful for Christmas. Outdoor accessories are not only pretty, but unexpected as it isn’t necessarily the time of year to think about outdoor living. From a great planter to statue, outdoor accessories are a nice way to dress up a space or add a pop of color. Outdoor living all about using the outdoor areas of your property as an extension of your home. The most used spaces are those that actually feel like rooms outdoors, that’s why a great outdoor rug is a nice gift to consider during the holidays. It will take that chair set on the deck or patio and make it into an outdoor living room. Outdoor rugs are available in a number of sizes and colors. We suggest reading reviews or at least researching materials to ensure that the rug you purchase won’t mold easily or the colors won’t bleed. One of the best parts about the spring and summertime, for me at least, is the food. I love cookouts. From steaks and fish to hot dogs and hamburgers, I’m happy with everything that is thrown on a grill. If you have someone like me on your list, consider finding a nice grill kit to make for better cooking. There are sets that have anywhere from 5 to 20 different tools, but here are the ones you should make sure your gift includes: a spatula, tongs, fork and knife, temperature thermometer and grill brush for cleaning. You know that we at Renew Crew are passionate about cleaning outdoor surfaces, but there is one tool that helps to keep it that way, a nice hose nozzle. A nozzle with a few different pressure options makes cleaning your decks, fences, patios, porches and other outdoor surfaces easier between pressure washing.
