I mentioned on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/span> yesterday that Rudd and I are very excited to plan our own tailgate for Clemson football games this year! We both graduated from the University in 2018<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and we can’t wait to have our own little slice of gamedays in the fall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Naturally, I’ve been making lists + idea boards for what we’ll need to bring with us to each home game! I’ve also created a category on my Amazon storefront<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with even more things I’m shopping for the upcoming season. Most of these things apply to tailgates in general, no matter your team! Who will you be cheering on this fall?!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

ONE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ This rattan flatware\/napkin basket is as perfect for at-home tailgating as it is for in-person tailgating! I’ve used it countless times for cookouts, and can’t wait to bring it with me to Clemson.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TWO<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ A tailgating tent, of course! This is the exact one we have, and its available in designs for most college teams!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THREE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ Melamine serving trays are your best friends for outdoor entertaining! Shatterproof is the name of the game – this brand is my favorite.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOUR<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ Have you heard of Nora Fleming<\/a><\/strong><\/span>? My mom, sister, and I have been collecting these little interchangeable charms for years, and I’m so glad more people are jumping on the bandwagon. You can use them on any of the brand’s serving pieces!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FIVE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ This slim can cooler will keep your drink cold all day long! There are so many different sizes and colors to choose from, too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SIX<\/a><\/span><\/strong> \/\/ These frosted plastic cups are to die for! They have an adorable little illustrated scene of Clemson on them. They’re a really great price for something you can wash and use again, too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SEVEN<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ I saw these cocktail napkins and immediately *added to cart.* For some things, you can’t avoid going with the “mainstream-cheesy-tailgating-style,” but I feel like these could really up-level things ?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EIGHT<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ The exact tailgating chairs we have – again, they’re available in the designs of most college teams!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NINE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ Another thing to up-level your tailgate scene – a gingham tablecloth! This one is available in several colors, too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TEN<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \/\/ We have these Edison bulb string lights in our backyard (we love them!), and I know we’ll want to take a strand of them to put inside of our tailgate tent for night games!<\/p>\n
