The summer season is in full swing, and according to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, 82 percent of all U.S. households own a grill and 45 percent grill at least one to two times a week during the summer. BJ’s Wholesale Club’s 2011 Outdoor Entertaining Collection provides all of your must-have items for hosting the ultimate stylish summertime soiree on a budget because most are under $20!
It’s time to trade in your stainless steel thermoses for these bright and bold 22-ounce Double Wall Tumblers, (4 packs, $17.99). They help to keep beverages hot or cold and are versatile enough for the office, in the car or right at home during a backyard BBQ. The double walled construction prevents sweating and the silicone seal on the twist-on cap helps prevent leaks, the included straws make sipping effortless.
Thick wedges of fresh, juicy watermelon are summer’s sweetest treats. The Watermelon Knife ($14.99) has an extra-long blade that efficiently slices through even the thickest watermelon rind, and a nonstick finish that releases the fruit without sticking.
My Thoughts: We do a lot of entertaining during the summertime and even when we aren’t entertaining we are usually outside so I was excited to receive the Double Wall Tumblers for review. I didn’t realize how big they were so I was even more excited when I saw them. They were double the size of the cups we normally use but they have a nice lid and straw too!
These tumblers were perfect for ice cold water or lemonade while outside and stayed nice and cool since they are insulated. They are also perfect for smoothies and milkshakes which the girls enjoyed.
They wash well but only by hand. That’s the only downfall as I prefer to use my dishwasher but it’s a minor thing that wouldn’t stop me from buying them, that’s for sure. And the different colors are great so we always knew who’s cup was who’s. That’s a big thing with the girls. LOL
These would also make a great hostess gift or even a gift for a camp counselor at the end of the season. Fill the cup with some lemons for lemonade and to look cute or some chocolate. You could even put some hot chocolate packets inside since these can also be used for hot beverages as well. They’d make a cute gift and with four to a pack for only $17.99, when you divide that among 4 gifts it’s an extremely affordable gift!

Watermelon is one of our favorite summer treats, and cutting it can be a pain, even with fairly large knives. This would certainly make it easier.
We love watermelon but it’s always crazy cutting them; this knife looks like it would be fun to use! Thank you 🙂

I’d love to win the watermelon knife! It is SO cute! Besides loving watermelon, it would be a small reminder of the summer of 2008 when my husband was in radiation therapy for laryngeal cancer. His taste buds basically stopped working, and watermelon was about the only thing he could actually taste. I must have bought a watermelon every other day for months! I was so grateful that watermelon was in season during that time. I am very happy to say he is cancer free, and we both still LOVE watermelon!
