Solar powered patio umbrella. Because yes, it is bar-b-q weather

The death of Valentines gadgets has left a big heart-shaped hole in my life, so I've decided to move onto summer. Whilst it may only be 7 degrees outside, the sky is blue, so you can at least pretend from the inside.

This solar umbrella has panels on top, for collecting and storing all those lovely sunbeams. When dusk falls, the energy gets converted to light, in the form of little LEDs on the umbrella's spokes. As Hippyshopper point out, that's just about enough light for the essentials, such as opening a bottle of wine.
