The unofficial start of summer — aka Memorial Day weekend — is almost upon us, and we’re ready to celebrate. Whether you’re getting together with friends and family or having a low-key weekend at home, it’s important to take note of all the incredible deals going on to kick off summer on a high note. One of everyone’s go-to retailers, Target, just unveiled its summer kickoff sale with steep discounts on highly coveted items like patio furniture, kitchen products, portable games, and more, and it’s all available to shop now until May 29.
There’s still a couple days leading up to Memorial Day weekend, but we don’t expect these discounted items to stay in stock for long. To make things easier, we’ve gathered the best deals on the site that are worth taking note of in time for summer. From chic solar lanterns to a gas grill, there’s bound to be something that catches your eye. Take a look at our top picks ahead.

Outdoor Fire Column
Project 62 Round Metal Outdoor Fire Column ($91, originally $130)
Extend your time spent outdoors this season by introducing warmth through a fire column. This one is 22 inches high and 10 inches in diameter, so it’s perfect for small spaces like a balcony or for scattering throughout seating areas in a larger backyard. We love how the sleek, modernist silhouette fades into the background instead of hogging the spotlight.
