The sun is starting to come back after a long winter and now's the time to start thinking about upgrading your garden just in time for the warmer weather and summer events like the FIFA World Cup 2026.

I've been browsing Ikea this morning to find cool products to share with Tom's Guide readers, and stumbled across one of the coolest items I've seen this year. The Ikea Vappeby bluetooth speaker lamp looks like the perfect Scandi mix between form and function, and I'm sold.

I love lanterns, and considering they fit perfectly into any outdoor garden space, adding warmth to your environment, I'm shocked I've not seen more speaker/light combos before.

At just $90, the Vappeby with its Spotify Tap playback function which generates music based on your taste is a must-have for any summer party. I've also selected 16 products I think will pair perfectly with the Vappeby vibe, so you can instantly improve your garden just in time for the best time of the year.
