GIFTS Summer Garden 15509 views
We have taken a walk around the garden for our gift inspiration this week. Outdoor furniture, garden accessories and essentials for a Summer barbie make great gifts for your wish list.
MAGNIFICENT MELAMINE
Melamine is the perfect solution to picnics and outdoor dining - and it looks good too! We love these patterned Blossom and Ripple cups, plates and bowls from Robert Dyas (0845 450 3004; robertdyas.co.uk). Prices start at £1.99 for a cup. Until August, your guests might like to take Mr Dyas up on his offer of any 4 for the price of 3. 
BRILLIANT BARBIES
Weber's (wowbbq.co.uk) One Touch Gold charcoal barbecue (£139.99) is a backyard must-have. New features include a hinged cooking grate and a huge catcher for the ash which can be easily removed and emptied. Its iconic porcelain-enameled bowl and lid comes in no-nonsense black with glass-reinforced handles.
SITTING PRETTY
If you really want to indulge in outdoor living some fold-up chairs that can be stowed away at the end of summer are ideal. We love the classic director-style chaire from Habitat (habitat.net), called Africa. The basic solid oak frame is £29 with a choice of slings (£6) including this sunny saffron yellow.
