Hamper, Table & Fire Brazier

Debenhams - Hamper
It's always easy to ruin what could have been a super stylish and unforgettable alfresco dining experience with drinks served from the can, paper napkin plates and your mate's dodgy looking penknife for cutlery.

Simple, elegant and just made for gazing into this Fire Brazier from John Lewis could weave a little magic into any post BBQ chillout. Probably good for toasting marshmallows too if you had a mind to, though make sure your wood is completely dry before burning if you don't want to get spat at.

Open up that special brandy you were saving, tune up the acoustic guitar you got on Christmas Day (and put in the cupboard round about Queens speech time), and all together now 'kum by yah'. The Fire Brazier costs £59.00.
