Simple, sustainable & reusable goodies for a festive weekend
Labor Day marks the unofficial close to summer and is another wonderful reason to get the gang together for a relaxing afternoon of catching up, reflecting on another amazing summer on the books, and mentally prepare for the seasonal shift of back-to-school and all things fall!
Here are my favorite goodies for a festive and patriotic Labor Day weekend celebration! Bonus: of course we can repurpose all of this for 4th of July decorating, too! Happy Decorating and Happy Hosting!
These durable buntings are amazing on your porch railings, on your windows or on your fireplace mantle!
Red, White & Blue Pagoda Umbrella
She’s retro, beautiful and made in California! Since 1946, California Umbrellas have been creating gorgeous umbrellas of various styles, colors and patterns. We have two of the pagoda style shown here in red, white and blue and two of the golden yellow ones from their Terrace Collection. These are the most asked about items in any content I share in the backyard!
Use the pillows you already have and just swap the cover for this reversible stars and stripes pair! Cute on your patio furniture, or in your living room!
There are many places to purchase an American flag, but be sure to buy one that’s made in the United States!
Deet-free and safe for the whole family! And no chemicals on your skin! This all-natural line of Skeeter Screen products helps deter mosquitoes, flies, gnats, fleas, ticks, and other biting insects. One burns for hours. I push them into our planters near our patio furniture, or right into the flower beds when I’m gardening.
Eco Dining Products from Grove
I love Grove! Everything ships carbon and plastic-neutral right to your front door. It used to be subscription-based, but now you can shop what you need, on-demand. I’ve also saved some compostable cutlery, tree-free napkins and paper towels, safe multi-purpose cleaner and reusable, organic cotton napkins in the link above.
These are SO chic! Good sized for drinks with ice (14-ounces!) I love this set of six plastic and stackable tumblers. The best part is they’re BPA-Free, shatter-proof and dishwasher safe. They come in many colors including a variety set – but this blue just HITS for summer – especially Labor Day and 4th of July!
My sister sent us these three years ago and we still pull them out every Labor Day weekend and 4th of July!
We have four of these! The seller has other shapes including a mattress float and beach balls!
Set of 300 wooden cutlery! Bio-degradable and compostable. These aren’t like the OG ones with splinters – no drama here and sourced responsibly!
How cute are these in your windows or in your doorway!? Or how about down the center of your festive tablescape picnic table! And they’re $10!
Oversized, oval paper plates for when the people came to EAT!
