If you've got someone in your life who struggles to stay indoors and would be willing to fire up the BBQ on Christmas day and is known to make it their mission to make their outdoor space mirror their own living room, get some inspiration with these Christmas gifts for patio dwellers.
Always outdoors in all weathers, patio dwellers love to feel cosy and will usually leave a pair of slip-on shoes for everyone else to trip over on the doormat.
We've been using our patios and outdoor spaces so much more this year, thanks to gorgeous sunny weather and the habit of shunning exotic holidays for staycationing. Outdoor lighting, BBQs and outdoor furniture have seen a spike in demand and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
Modern Gardens has picked out the best gift ideas for the patio dweller this festive season and we've also included some gifts for under £15 for those on a budget.
