But before you make any big plans to invite guests over for BBQs or garden parties, you want to make sure your patio is looking it's best.
And although you may think that jazzing up your outdoor space will be pricey, Amazon has the perfect budget buy for penny pinchers.
The Lezonic Solar Lights are priced at just £8.49 and come in a wide range of bright colours, to transform your home into a whimsical oasis.
They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so you could even use them to decorate the tree at Christmas, giving them year round use.
The lights are solar-powered meaning there's no need to faff about plugging them in.
Simply string them around your patio, and watch as they automatically turn on at dusk, instantly brightening up your outdoor space.
Plus, the lights are waterproof, meaning you don't have to worry about bringing them inside during adverse weather conditions.
And if you're in a rush, the lights are available for next-day delivery, making them perfect for any last-minute summer plans.
Shoppers have been raving about the lights on the Amazon website, with one person stating: "Good solar fairy lights . Easy to install & they provide a point of interest on a dull fence."
A second person said: "Very bright and colourful and excellent value.
I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out
"Good quality and worked immediately. Shone all night brightly."
A third person said: "I recently added these garden lights to my outdoor space, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
"The installation was incredibly easy — simply place them into the ground and they're ready to go."
Shoppers have also been raving about Home Bargains' Firefly Hot Air Balloon Solar String Lights , which fans say look "amazing" and night.
How to repair broken patio slabs
THE paving specialists at Simply Paving told Fabulous how you can repair broken patio slabs, without the faff.
The experts advised: 'If you have a loose paving slab, then it's unlikely it can be lifted straight by hand. Instead, you will probably need a hammer and chisel to prise the paver free of your patio.
'To remove loose paving slabs without damaging your flagstones, carefully chip away at the mortar around the paving slab with the plugging chisel and rubber mallet until the slab comes completely loose.
'Then, slide the spade into the gap left by the mortar and prise the paver free of the patio.
"As you lift it up, place a short piece of timber underneath the spade to act as a lever, making it easier for you while protecting the slab underneath.
'When the paver starts to give, place the cylindrical wood underneath it and roll the slab out of the patio.'
Scanning at £7.99, the solar lights automatically light up at dusk and feature a flame effect LED to illuminate your garden during the summer evenings.
Home Bargains says the lights bring a "magical glow to your outdoor space", while each light comes with a rechargeable battery and is easy to install.
The retailer adds on its website: "The lights automatically turn on at dusk, providing a warm, inviting ambiance with a stunning flame LED effect.
"No wires or fuss—just let the sun charge them during the day, and enjoy the beautiful light as the evening falls."
And bargain fans are racing to snap up £10 LED rose string lights from The Original Factory Shop.
The product description reads: "It's a great no-fuss addition to any garden, terrace or gazebo, providing light in those darker corners and colour all year long."
The faux foliage and rose detailing aim to replicate the look of real climbing plants without the maintenance.

I won the lottery and whisked my family away on a last-minute holiday – people are surprised by the destination
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LOTTO winner has defender her holiday destination after people cried "why are you not in the Maldives?". Olivia Love, of Glasgow, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Lotto winner Olivia Love took her family on holiday to North Wales Credit: TikTok @mrsolivialove 2 Olivia won £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY The 36-year-old's been able to quit her job at a local supermarket, and hire a cleaner and gardener. Thanks to her massive tax-free win, she's also made the first steps in building her dream career as a wedding content creator. Since going public with her win, Olivia has been speaking out about the life-changing cash in more detail on TikTok. And she hilariously wiped away fake tears with £20 notes in response to cruel comments from trolls. Recently, she documented her family's "first holiday as lottery winners" to North Wales with their four kids and Kevin's parents. The down-to-earth brood hired a nine-seater car for the four-and-a-half hour journey and stopped off at a service station for a McDonald's to "fuel themselves up". They hired a stunning four-bedroom 17th century farmhouse for the week and spent just £2,202.06 in total including car rental, food, and accommodation. And Olivia has defended her decision to staycation in the UK instead of splashing the cash on a long-haul flight to an exotic destination. While enjoying the sunshine in her Welsh garden, she said: "To everyone that said 'why aren't you going to like the Maldives? You've won the lottery'. It's like 32 degrees and I'm in North Wales. Who needs the Maldives when you have this? "We're in a beautiful old farmhouse. It's just so stunning. EXCL Woman who dumped boyfriend after winning £1m scratchcard jackpot splashes cash with NEW man - while leaving ex with nothing "[I] just wanted to take a minute to just appreciate where the hell I am. "It's just wild, it's just so beautiful and warm. I didn't need to leave the country for this." Her holiday clips quickly racked up 11,000 views with social media users rushing to praise her holiday destination. One said: "It's probably hotter there than Spain or Greece, enjoy it." A second wrote: "Looks lovely! Hope you had amazing break." Meanwhile, a third added: "We go North Wales every year!! So so so much to do." We told earlier how a simple email from the National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 changed everything for Olivia. Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket's customer service kiosk. She was on Universal Credits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and "dreaded" her council tax bill coming through. She said: "My husband and I claimed Universal Credit because we needed help with the cost of childcare. "Now, obviously, because I've won £10,000 a month for a year, I'm no longer entitled to that which, you know, quite right." Olivia and Kevin won the second-tier prize on The National Lottery's Set For Life on May 15 after matching five main numbers. The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06. 'Set For Life' offers a top prize of £10K a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched. Players can also win £10K a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers.

Amazon slashes £16 off Crocs sandals that shoppers ‘can walk in for miles'
Amazon has slashed the price of Crocs' platform sandals by 36% in a limited time deal and shoppers have been praising their comfortability and lightweight feel Love them or hate them, there's no denying the Croc resurgence we've been seeing over the past few and heeled Crocs were spotted all over Simone Rocha's SS24 catwalk show, while new styles including flip flop Crocs and chunky platform Crocs have emerged, lending them a fashionable edge. And if you've not quite been convinced by the classic clog, you'll be pleased to hear that there's a slightly more fashion-forward and summer-appropriate style currently reduced on Amazon. The exact style we're talking about is the Getaway Platform H-Strap Sandal, which have been discounted from its usual £44.99 to £27 - £30 (depending on size). There are various colours available, however, it's is just the Quartz colour that has the limited-time 36% discount. These chunky sandals are a part of the Crocs' most comfortable collection yet, thanks to their Free Feel Technology that makes it feel like you're not even wearing anything on your feet. The straps are smooth and flexible, which ensures no rubbing or digging in and makes them perfect for long, hot days out. Not to mention the subtle platform is perfect if you want to add a little extra height without having to wear an uncomfortable heel or wedge. It's worth noting, however, these sandals have a wide, roomy fit so if you've got narrow feet, they may feel a little too loose. Shoppers can't seem to get enough of these chunky shoes, with hundreds of glowing reviews. One customer wrote: "I am a big Crocs fan and have had this style before but with a thinner platform. Well I am not disappointed, Crocs are really upping their game when it comes to comfort. I can walk in these for miles! Love them to bits, true to size and super quick dispatch" A seconded added: "I love these!!!. Comfortable, true to size and lightweight. Not had a blister yet and worn them a lot. Great price at £27 though they were more purple than they looked in the picture I still love them." The main criticism from shoppers was about sizing issues. A few claim that these run smaller, so we suggest sizing up from your usual to ensure ultimate comfortability. If the Quartz colourway is not your style, Crocs is also running a sale on this style at the moment with the black ones available for £31.49. In other sale news, Fitflop has kicked off its massive summer sale, which sees up to 40% off best-selling styles. Our top picks include the GEN-FF Leather Fisherman Sandals, now £98 down from £130, and the GEN-FF Leather Back-Strap Toe-Post Sandals, now £88 down from £125. Happy Crocing!
