Safer Replaceable-Head Grill Brush
If you use a wire brush to clean your grill, sharp bristles can dislodge, stick to the grill’s cooking surface and find their way into your food. One alternative: the Safer Replaceable Head Grill Brush.
This innovative brush features rugged red, grit-infused nylon bristles that were laboratory tested for durability. These won’t break or fall out like metal ones. Use the brush to scrub-down cooled grates. Snap on the detachable scraper blade to remove sticky carbon deposits that can wreck the taste of your next grilled steak or burger.
Solar On-Demand Fountain
Untethered by electrical hookups, the lightweight resin Gaia solar on-demand fountain can be easily tucked into a quiet corner of the garden, or placed front-and-center on the patio as a charming focal point.
This combo fountain/birdbath provides the gentle, relaxing sound of trickling water and birds chirping as they bathe. Three gallons of water recycle through a hidden reservoir powered by a solar underwater pump and a rechargeable battery. Ah, summer.
Brightech Waterproof LED Outdoor String Lights
If you’re tired of taking down your backyard string lights when summer ends, here’s a solution. Hang Brightech Ambience Pro Waterproof LED Outdoor String Lights across the yard, over a pergola or wrapped in trees to add a warm glow and bistro atmosphere all year-round.
When night falls, these festoon-style lights set the mood with high-efficiency, two-watt LED bulbs that are bright enough yet not too dim. They’re just right for entertaining friends or illuminating a romantic dinner for two.
Mistana Teardrop Swing Chair with Stand
No need for a tree to hang the Anner Teardrop Swing Chair with Stand by Mistana. It’s a free-standing, egg-style chair made of thick, brown, meshed rattan that lets refreshing breezes flow through.
