Summer is here – with its long, sunny days and mild evenings, perfect for spending time together. Whether you want to organise a cosy aperitif, a dinner outdoors, or simply create a comfortable corner at home, Letzshop.lu is here to help you prepare for a successful summer evening. With a local and varied selection, you can create a warm, delightful, and inspiring atmosphere – all from the comfort of your own terrace. Here is our shopping guide to help you make the most of the beautiful days while supporting local Luxembourgish retailers.
1. Go for a simple yet charming table
Table decoration is the first step in setting the tone for the evening. Choose colourful or handcrafted tableware. Glazed ceramic plates, mouth-blown glass carafes, and napkins made of natural cotton instantly create a summery and relaxed atmosphere. Also consider using light tablecloths or linen table runners to add beautiful contrasts. A simple yet thoughtfully arranged table transforms an ordinary setting into a true invitation to relax.
2. A local and generous aperitif
There’s nothing better than a delicious aperitif to start off the evening. Get inspired by local products from the “Food & Drinks” categories. Create a platter with regional cheeses, artisan charcuterie, fresh bread, and some homemade pickles or tapenades. Add seasonal fruits such as apricots, cherries, or grapes for a sweet and colourful touch. Don’t forget the essentials: cheese knives, wooden serving boards, or sharing plates, all available from local partner shops.
3. Homemade refreshments: syrups, beers, or cocktails
When it comes to drinks, creativity is key. On Letzshop, you will find a great selection of craft beers, Luxembourgish Crémant, and local wines to create homemade cocktails or refreshing mocktails. In the “Drinks” category, you can also discover local spirits (gin, liqueurs, brandies) that are perfect for adding a personal touch to your mixed drinks. Serve them in cocktail glasses or mason jars, garnished with ice cubes, lemon slices, fresh mint, or grated ginger. And for those who prefer non-alcoholic options, iced teas or homemade lemonades are a great choice.
4. Create the perfect atmosphere: soft lighting and decorative elements
When the sun goes down, lighting takes over to create a soft and cosy atmosphere. In the “Home & Garden” category, you will find LED fairy lights, solar lanterns, or scented candles that will instantly transform your balcony or garden. For added comfort, add a few cushions with summery patterns, an outdoor rug, or a light throw for cooler evenings. These elements, both decorative and practical, create a true summer oasis of comfort.
5. And why not… a themed evening?
Why not take it a step further and organise a themed evening? A Mediterranean atmosphere with blue ceramics and mezze, a tropical evening with fruity cocktails and palm leaves as decoration, or a Japanese-style aperitif with floor cushions and lanterns. In the “Home & Decoration” and “Fashion & Accessories” categories, you’ll find plenty of handcrafted items, unique textiles, or designer pieces to express your personal style. By focusing on local craftsmanship, you also add meaningful value to your decor choices.
