Beach Glow

Looking for the perfect way to light an outdoor summer party and enhance your garden? Forget tangled strings of lights and kerosene-fueled torches. Dutch designer Rob Slewe has come up with a mod approach: flowerpots that double as outdoor lights. Bloom! is a 23-in.-high recycled plastic pot with four LED lights inside. Not only does it provide a soft glow to any outdoor environment, but it also holds plants and is energy efficient (drawing a maximum of just 6 watts). Fill it with ice and chill cold drinks or cover the top with plate glass and create a table. The only thing these versatile lights don't do is scare away mosquitoes. You can find the pots at bloomusa.net.
