S’i Fossi Foco (If I Were Fire) by Sharilyn Neidhardt $220

One of my favorite activities during summer vacation is having a bonfire night. Getting together with friends and family at the beach to cozy up by the fire on those perfectly cool summer nights is a feeling that can’t be beat.

I laugh at how territorial everyone is about their fire pits though. On crowded beach days, it can be a race to see who reserves their fire pit first. When there aren’t enough fire pits for the amount of people at the beach we share with strangers and it turns into something beautiful! This is a wonderful way to make new friends.

Jet-Puffed Marshmallows by John Kilduff $545

Something about roasting marshmallows and singing songs by the fire brings us all closer to one another. Personally, I like to roast my marshmallow until it’s that perfect golden brown. Some of my friends prefer burning theirs to a crisp. What do you prefer?

What’s a bonfire without s’mores? I remember feeling so accomplished after making my own s’more for the very first time. They are so delicious, although very messy. But that’s part of what makes them fun. I can’t wait for those summer bonfire beach days this year!

The Beach by Valerie Vescovi $860

Will you be planning any bonfires this summer break? If not, bring the bonfire home to you. You won’t need firewood or a bathing suit. Instead, you can find some bonfire-inspired pieces on Zatista.com and bring the fun (without the mess) to your living room with great original artwork from Zatista.com.
