When it comes time to register, think beyond pots and pans and add these summer items to your wish list. You’ll be set for summer with these five must-have registry items.

We Scream for Ice Cream
For your next girls’ night in, impress your friends with a pretty set of ice cream bowls.

Try: Roman Holiday Gelato Set from Plum ($95, at plumgiftco.com). The set includes four bowls, a chocolate-covered treat, four ice cream spoons, four white hem-stitched napkins, a cast aluminum insulated ice cream caddy and a scoop.

Wine and Dine
For wine enthusiasts, a wine chiller is a must-have, especially during hot summer nights.

Try: Breville’s Wine Chiller (breville.ca). It chills a bottle of wine (without the help of ice) in under seven minutes and has a removable AC power cord, ideal for outdoor use.

Ice Time
This summer, cool off and treat yourself to a delicious snow cone, smoothie and slushie.

Try: Snowman Ice Shave by Hamilton Beach ($40, at hamiltonbeach.ca). The ice shaver works with ice cubes and ice molds and has a drip tray to keep the water and flavours from running across the counter.

Grill Thrill
Hosting a barbecue? Show off your cooking skills with a handy grill.

Try: Weber Genesis Silver Propane BBQ ($700, at canadiantire.ca The stainless steel barbecue has 611 sq. in. of grilling space, wide enough to fit all your hot dogs, hamburgers and veggies.

Mow, Mow, Mow, Your Lawn
Make life easier and invest in a reliable and easy-to-use lawn mower.

Try: 24V Cordless Mulching Mower by Black & Decker ($400, at blackanddecker.com). The best part about this mower is that it has a folding push-handle adjustment, which folds down so that the mower stores in less space.
