This is the summer of outdoor entertaining. We're getting together with our fully vaccinated friends for picnics, barbecues, pool parties, you name it. When you're having people over, you need the right gear, and that's where Padma Lakshmi's Etsy edit comes in. There are so many great pieces to choose from, all made by small artisans, but these are our 18 favorites.
Judging by this selection, Lakshmi is a consummate host, and we'll take tips from her any day of the week. We're particularly loving the custom cheese board, the chic aprons, and the umbrella that will have everyone talking. Keep on reading to shop our selects!
