Top 5 “Summer Essentials” Gifts
1) Metal Wind Spinner with Crystals Inside
Spinfinity Designs: Metal Wind Spinner with Crystals Inside - Crystal Purple Teardrop
2) Wave-Powered Surfer
Toss this surfer toy into the waves and it will self-right in the water and surf back to you. (Kind of like a water-based boomerang.) Kids will delight in throwing the toy and watching it come back time after time, which is the result of years of careful engineering. No batteries, no noise—just surfing fun at the beach.
3) Mason Bee Barrel
Hang a Mason bee barrel in a sunny garden spot to give solitary bees a home of their own. These industrious bees will help pollinate flowers, fruit, and vegetables. The nesting canes in the habitat are designed to attract young, non-swarming bees who will move in during the summer and emerge as adults in spring.
4) Bonfire Steel Fire Pit
The age-old tradition of sitting around a fire just got an upgrade. This sleek stainless steel bonfire pit is durable enough to last a lifetime. Its double-chamber build circulates preheated oxygen to fuel the flame, burning easily and with less smoke. Its minimalist design is as timeless as the campfire ritual itself.
5) Self-Watering Windowsill Herb Garden
How does your kitchen window herb garden grow? Out of your own recycled glass bottle, thanks to the folks at Urban Leaf. Pop one of the smart soil inserts and included seeds into a water-filled bottle, place it in a window, and the herbs are ready to grow. They even water themselves for the first 30 days.
