Mass., says the company’s products are sure to help with this.


“I think the traditional games have always been


a staple seller for us because everybody wants to have some sort of games they can play in their backyard,” Mullen says. “It’s a way to bring family and friends over and do something that people of all ages and skill sets can do, and feel like they’re going to have some fun together,” he says. Such games include traditional ones like


croquet and bocce ball, as well as the fast- growing “tailgate-style” games such as bean bag toss, washer toss and “can jam,” Mullen says. The Soft-Tip Target Toss is a perennial favorite, he adds, because it’s a safe version of lawn darts. The great outdoors embraces entertaining in a


big way as well. C.R. Gibson has an entire line of casual entertaining products that are meant to complement patio dining in fun new ways. It’s all about enjoying the great outdoors –


whether it’s through spending time in the garden, whiling time away on a hammock; playing games or entertaining friends. The love of entertaining has moved outdoors and retailers would be wise to follow this trend closely.
