Now that it's winter and the country is getting its share of snow, we think it's about time to go break some bones. L.L. Bean's Flexible Flyer Sled ($88 on sale) totally beats the trays we filched (and returned!) from our college cafeteria. Made to... [More]

Forget those sweet holiday greeting mats by the front door; they're always so welcoming and festive. We know a little part of you would rather go for humor and snark. After all, we would, too. Nice Underwear Door Mat ($22)... [More]
We absolutely do not accept the end of summer. We plan on cooking BBQ all winter, especially homemade grilled pizza. The Grill Top Pizza Stone Set ($28) will help us make kick-A BBQ chicken and margarita pizzas. Two points if you make the crust on... [More]

We've been so sad to see the sun set earlier and earlier each day. *Sigh* Pretty soon we're going to find ourselves curling up in PJ's right after we leave work at 5pm. But until then, we're going to squeeze every last second out of... [More]
Greet your guests warmly and then give them the boot on their way out with the Come In, Go Away Doormat ($38) from Uncommon Goods. They'll think your doormat is clever, but you'll know differently. We can't be the only ones who have THAT neighbor... [More]
We don't promote smoking. And we certainly don't promote birds smoking. But we do promote birds living in a cigar box. Cause if you're gonna live in a bird house, make sure it's a contraband bird house. That's what all the bad Ash-throated flycatchers do.... [More]
We're hoping that there are at least a few of you readers who get the reference when we tell you that this Cap Outdoor Furniture Set ($2000) reminds us of Mork's egg spaceship. Just go ahead and nod so we don't feel like we're ridiculously... [More]
Picnics in the park and on the beach are looking better and better thanks to the Wine Glass Holder ($12). These stainless steel stakes will keep your Pinot Noir perfectly safe while you chow down on your lobster roll and chipotle corn on the cob.... [More]

Halloween may still be a few month away, but we're such fans, we can't help browse for spooky things! (Why yes, we've also had our costumes planned for months.) We totally love The 12' Inflatable Headless Horseman ($300) at Hammacher Schlemmer because it's a TWELVE... [More]
The trend scene hasn't done much branching out if it's moving from birds to owls. Feathered fowl is feathered fowl, right? But hey, if you're on board with plastering owls to all your fall items, add the Branch-Style Home Doormat ($35) to your list of... [More]
If you weren't aware (and we weren't before today!), a "Texas Toothpick" doesn't not refer to a teeny piece of wood perfect for teeth cleaning after a meal. In the instance of this Case Yellow Handle Small Texas Toothpick ($30), it refers to a 3-inch... [More]
We love to seize the opportunity to celebrate each and every day - after all, the daily grind can be, well, a grind. We're learning that there are many holidays out there that may not have reached "Hallmark" calendar status, but they still count and... [More]

Ok, if we had money to throw around, our bonfires would get way more bougie by way of the José A. Gandía-Blasco Tipi ($Inquire). We want our own luxury wigwam, goddammit. This crawl in shelter offers luxurious solace from the weird monochrome cult that crashed... [More]
The I Tent Camping Vintage Sign ($24) by Janderson Art echoes our sentiments about camping after our latest experience roughing it in the wild. It was warm and breezy, we had three coolers full of cold beverages, we made scrumptious s'mores, and yes--even dared to... [More]
The Wisteria Rubber Snail Mat ($15 on sale) is a pretty adorable doormat, but we can't help but feel a little sad because stepping on it just makes us think of the awful crunch sound of accidentally stepping on a snail. Cue Debbie Downer music.... [More]
It'd be nice if we could say we've got a lovely garden in which to place this Qualicum Garden Deckchair ($300) by Gallant and Jones. A garden full of bright pink peonies and big, pudgy bumblebees buzzing around lazily. But that would require us to... [More]
We all know Weber makes some serious grills, but the ultimate accessory for outdoor ambiance... who knew? The Weber 2726 Wood Burning Fireplace ($141) creates warmth and atmosphere anyway. Camping, in your garden, on your patio, wherever you want a little fire, there's your Weber.... [More]
Birds these days. They're just not as simple as they used to be, and if they wanted to eat out of one of those clear, cylindrical feeders, they'd go to your grandma's. The Bird Cafe Feeder ($25) will attract the kind of birds who talk... [More]
The most clever way to display the Skel-A-Gnome garden sculpture ($40) is to put on a stealthy disguise, slip out to your front yard, and switch out your regular gnome for this one at sunset. Or, you could just confirm your neighbors' suspicions that... [More]
We don't know about you, but in the summer, we like to do some serious picnicking. It's just so satisfying to pack up some gourmet cheeses, a bottle of wine, and people watch in the park. This year, we're investing in this Picnic Basket for... [More]

Can you believe that we have not yet eaten one single S'more this summer? If you're in the same boat, find a friend with a fire pit ASAP and eat until you're stuffed! We suppose inviting yourself over is a tricky process, but if you... [More]
We're disappointed that this Vibrant Afternoon Hammock ($98) at Anthropologie has to go on our wish-list-wish-list and not our wish-list-for-two-days-before-we take-the-plunge-and-buy-it-anyway list. We just don't have the right tree set up from which to hang it. But if you do, please invite us over for... [More]
