Summer is just around the corner, and we're already dreaming about the long nights, the warm afternoons and the happy days that come with it! Obviously, we want everything to be perfect this time of the year, so we're already getting everything ready to turn this into an unforgettable Summer!

In this article we're sharing five suggestions that will help make this Summer's moments more pretty, joyful and happy! We apologize in advance, because we know the hardest part will be not buying every single thing.

Cutipol

Cutipol also shares our love for the Summer, thus they launched a cutlery collection that fits perfectly with this season.

The “Goa Turquesa” collection is the ideal bet to add a fresh touch to your table - the attention to every detail is vital to create happy memories, and choosing the right accessories will make all the difference!

If you're not a fan of this color don't worry: the brand has other colors in the “Goa Collection” that you may like - we were amazed by all of them!

Potteria

Summer means picnics, lunch in the terrace, snacks by the pool... To do so, all we need is pottery that screams joy and happiness, and this is where Potteria fits in!

With gorgeous, colorful, and pretty Portuguese pieces, the pottery in this store is unique and a must have in this Summer's tables.

Castelbel

Any true Portuguese would agree that the best thing about Summer is celebrating Santos Populares (popular saints), right? Summer is not really Summer unless there are sardines in São João, but nobody likes to feel the smell of fish when releasing the balloon...

This is when Castelbel comes to save the day: the brand launched a fun issue of a soap that's perfect to eliminate the fish odors from our hands, with the bonus that it's super cool and fits perfectly with the decoration - in the shape of a sardine, with a rope so that you can hang it on your tap!
