I have a small balcony full of herbs and flowers (and one dead tomato plant). In the evenings (after the kids are asleep), it would be lovely to sit out there with a glass of wine admiring the rising moon and these charming string lights.

These solar powered string lights mean no cords or batteries — perfect for the outdoors. Each 48-foot string has 24 bulbs that glow classic white or change to a rainbow of colors with the push of a remote. Hang them anywhere you need some accent lighting.

These Westinghouse outdoor string lights are $61.15 at Lowe’s. Amazon has something similar for $25, too.
