Fun finds under $20 for summer entertaining

Serve some refreshments

Serve your guests fruit-infused water, just like you see at many resorts during the warm months. This fruit infusion pitcher from Target has a removable rod to keep fruit separate from the water (or iced tea), but still provide fresh flavor. Since it’s clear, your fruit will make a pretty display.
