2. CB2 Rolling Cooler ($269)

This sturdy, counter-height cooler "can keep 20 gallons of ice and bevvies within easy reach," says Keith Blanchard at The Wall Street Journal. It has two compartments and locking wheels, and when your guests empty it, it can be rolled back inside for easy reloading. Buy it at CB2.

3. Fatboy Lamzac Hangout ($79)

This blow-up couch is a "marvel," says Thomas Ricker at The Verge. You inflate it by sweeping it through the air, and it packs down to a small sack. "Best of all," it's "bizarrely comfortable"​ — perfect for a beach party or outdoor concert. Buy it at Fatboy.

The Fugoo is expensive for a portable speaker, "but you get what you pay for," says Joe Jackson at Outside Magazine. A "perfect backyard BBQ companion," it can float in the pool, it plays for 35 hours, and its sound quality is "10 times better" than most rivals. Buy it at Amazon.

5. KettlePizza Deluxe Grill Kit ($152)

It's never been easier to create a "smoky, blistered, crispy, and delicious" pizza in your own backyard, according to Forbes. This portable oven sets up on any 22.5-inch kettle grill. A pan, stone, and peel are included. Buy it at Amazon.
