This is a great list. I love the solar powered lanterns, and I'm going to get some for our backyard. I'll probably get them at Crate & Barrel. The lanterns are $29 each at Gaim that's a bit more than my budget can handle right now.

Those lamps at the top are available at Crate & Barrel for $17 each - we picked up two and as soon as the cheap paper part breaks, I plan on taking it apart and using the light and solar panel to make solar mason jar lights.

Thanks for the list! I think I'm going to have to snag the umbrella next time I make a Target run (which seems to be most days!).
