Summer is made for outdoor parties. If you want to get a little fancier than beer and wine—but don't want to be shaking a cocktail shaker all afternoon—then old-school punch is the way to go!

This Planter's punch is pull-out-all-the-stops impressive. You don't have to go full-tilt with edible flowers and everything, but we recommend trying it at least once. It's really a great way to make a gathering memorable.

You can pick up woven drink holders and trays at Amanda Lindroth Glassware. And if you're looking to add some backyard chickens to your life, try the Adopt-a-Bird Network, which finds homes for abandoned chickens!
