Improved Technology: Don’t barrel out of the house for an outdoor adventure with last year’s technology. Maps and directions are so passé, so do yourself a favor and purchase a GPS system to make sure that you don’t get lost in the woods.

Wide Selection: Gander Mountain boasts enough outdoor merchandise to serve as your one-stop-shop before departing for your destination. Including everything from cold weather footwear, reels, rods and firearms to tents and sleeping bags, this establishment allows you to be selective.

Cost Efficient: Until June 30, you can enjoy a discount of $20 off all orders over $100 (code: GMG20). Thanks to the limited time offer, you can explore the outdoors and save enough money to retire to a hotel for a night if the elements prove to be too harsh.

Landscaping: Don’t let the word fool you. Landscaping doesn’t have to involve pulling up trees and putting down sod. Simple things like placing a few potted flowers on the patio or simply keeping the yard neat and free of dead leaves can do wonders for the look and feel of your yard.

Comfort and Joy: Everyone wants to be comfortable when they’re dining outdoors, and making your guests comfortable means providing good seating and plenty of shade. Brookstone offers a collection of outdoor chaise lounges and patio chairs that definitely fit the bill. And until May 31, you can get $10 off orders of $80 or more (code: MAY10). And for those severely lazy summer days, check out Brookstone’s hammock collection as well.

Safety First: With kids running all around the backyard and everyone in bare feet, don’t forget that you need to keep everyone safe. Use plastic tableware that will bounce, not shatter, if it happens to hit the ground.
