Solar American flag string lights are awesome. They wrap around porch railings or fences and charge all day to glow all night.

The BiteFighter Mosquito Repellent LED String Lights are gonna be one of the smartest buys because they combine cozy outdoor ambiance with serious bug protection—no sprays, no citronella mess. Each 36-ft strand gives off a warm, festive glow while covering up to 330 sq ft with mosquito repellency using replaceable pods that last for around 200 hours. They're weatherproof, shatter-resistant, and easy to string across patios, fences, or trees, making them perfect for summer entertaining. While they're a bit of a splurge (around $150), I'd choose to be mosquito-free.
