1. Host a Backyard BBQ Bash:

Kick off the summer season with a festive backyard barbecue that brings together friends, family, and good food. Fire up the grill and serve up an array of classic barbecue fare, such as burgers, hot dogs, grilled veggies, and corn on the cob. Create a DIY burger or hot dog bar with a variety of toppings and condiments, and don't forget to include refreshing drinks and summer-themed cocktails to keep your guests cool and hydrated. Set up lawn games like cornhole, horseshoes, or badminton to keep the fun going well into the evening. Add the CGH Ptichers to cart to ensure your BBQ is not only fun but, well fitted!

2. Plan a Picnic in the Park:

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a leisurely picnic in the park with friends or family. Pack a picnic basket with an assortment of sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit, cheese, crackers, and a bottle of wine or sparkling water. Bring along a cozy blanket, portable speaker for music, and outdoor games like frisbee or bocce ball for entertainment. Spend the afternoon lounging in the sunshine, soaking up nature's beauty, and savoring the simple pleasures of good food and good company. Our new CGH round cheese boards are perfect for outings like this one! 

3. Host a Movie Night Under the Stars:

Transform your backyard into a cozy outdoor theater and host a movie night under the stars for an unforgettable summer evening. Set up a projector and screen, arrange comfy seating with blankets and pillows, and string twinkling lights or hang a few paper lanterns for ambiance. Choose a lineup of classic summer movies or family-friendly favorites, and don't forget the popcorn and movie snacks for a complete cinematic experience. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the magic of movie night under the open sky. 

4. Plan a Beach Day Adventure:

Beat the heat and soak up the sun with a fun-filled day at the beach. Pack a cooler with plenty of snacks, sandwiches, and refreshing beverages, along with beach towels, sunscreen, and beach toys for the kids. Build sandcastles, splash in the waves, or relax and unwind as you listen to the ocean. Bring along a beach volleyball net or a set of paddleballs for some friendly competition and end the day with a mesmerizing beach bonfire as you roast marshmallows and watch the sunset over the horizon. 

5. Organize a Potluck Picnic or Dinner Party:

Gather friends and family for a potluck picnic or dinner party where everyone contributes a dish to share. Assign categories such as appetizers, salads, main dishes, and desserts to ensure a diverse and delicious spread. Set up picnic tables or blankets in a scenic outdoor location and encourage guests to bring their favorite homemade dishes or culinary creations. Enjoy a leisurely meal together as you sample a variety of flavors and cuisines, and revel in the joy of communal dining and shared experiences. Even elevate with our new line of kitchen items for an aesthetic touch!

Take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather by embarking on outdoor adventures and exploring the great outdoors. Plan a hiking trip to a nearby trail or nature reserve, go kayaking or paddleboarding on a serene lake or river, or take a scenic bike ride through picturesque countryside or along coastal paths. Pack a picnic lunch or snacks to enjoy along the way, and don't forget to bring a camera to capture the breathtaking scenery and memorable moments.
