This is a weatherproof Adirondack-style table, built to last outdoors year-round. It is made from strong, heavy, high-density polyethylene (recycled plastic containers), and it will not rot, crack, splinter, absorb moisture or ever need painting. Heavy wind can't blow it over. Stainless steel hardware.

Starfish Oils All-Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles
These are key for summer barbecues, but can be used indoors, too. They are handpoured with all natural, 100 percent pure essential oils and a non-toxic blend to keep away mosquitos and insects, while smelling wonderful. It does not use toxic chemicals such as DEET (which some researchers say may lead to memory loss, muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath, and even brain damage if there's too much exposure).

Recycled Glass Tumblers
Artisan glassmakers transform bottles headed for landfill into glassware that feels just right in the hand. The tops of bottles become goblets, while the bottoms become tumblers. In addition to reducing waste, they make a persuasive argument for combining responsible lifestyle choices with a demanding eye for style.
