If you just had a patio added to your back yard

What would you want on it?

 FI wants to buy SIL something for her patio since it's just now finished and she's his person to buy for (ss). 

My best idea is a steel fire pit, but then you're assuming they'll use it. I literally don't go outside on our patio, so I'm not sure what's useful/cute/necessary. She has no furniture or anything to go out there, but that'll be something she needs to pick out herself.

  • I think the fire pit is a great idea.

  • I think that would be nice.  We have one and we've used it a few times.  Or if she isn into plants, maybe get her a nice pot or two that she can use to grow things on the patio.

  • Firepit is good or a kettle grill. Those aren't all that expensive and can be used in a variety of ways.
  • A grill. Or an umbrella/table/chairs but that would be super expensive.

  • My parents were given a fire bowl a few years ago and they ended up using it more than their fire pit. It's small (maybe a foot square) and needs a can of firegel stuff to burn. It's nice to set on a table when you're not necessarily looking for something that gives off a lot of heat. 

  • fire pit is nice. I was also thinking along the potted plant route, though. Maybe a 4 or 5 foot potted tree?

    If it's a deck, I'd be more wary of the fire pit. I'm afraid to put one on our deck - worried about scorch marks on the wood. But if it's a patio, that's not as big of a concern.

  • She only has maybe 1 or 2 plants around her house, I don't think she's a plant person, otherwise I would love to get her plants. She's got a patio (concrete) so the scorching isn't really a concern. I will have to look around for fire bowls. I've never heard of them, and googling isn't much help. It keeps coming up with himalayan salt lamps..
