These outdoor lights that'll light up your midnight barbecues

Because you're not going to go all out and get yourself a real outdoor light to mount on the side of your house, fairy lights make a nice alternative. These blue ones are great because they're not as overpowering as white ones and come with an extra-long cable so you can plug them in inside.

This flower pots you can display even if you've got no outdoor floor space

Because you might only have a balcony, or just a window of that matter, these pots are great because they can be hung either from your window or on your balcony railings. Also, because they'll be outside, no need to water! (Theoretically)

These lanterns that will stop your cheap ass tealights from blowing out

Because cheap tealights only stay lit if you put absolutely no pressure on them at all. The faintest gust of wind and they give up like a fading Hollywood star with a drug problem.

And you're struggling to buy yourself food. That doesn't seem very fair. This feeder though means you can repurpose your (stale, maybe slightly mouldy) bread into a tasty bird snack.
