Top 5 Backyard Accessories & Patio Gifts
1) Reusable Ice Melting Mat
These snow and ice melting mats work just like ice melt or rock salt, but more efficiently, quickly, and neatly. Each mat contains sodium, magnesium, and calcium chloride (the same ingredients in rock salt). But the mat only releases as much as is needed. The rest of the melting agent stays contained in the durable nylon casing, and works in temperatures all the way down to -15 degrees.
2) Holiday Wind Bells
This holiday-inspired bell creates a pleasant sound and makes for a sweet addition to your outdoor space. It's made in Maine with recycled steel, and adds a festive touch that will last for at least 20 years.
3) Outdoor Lawn Game
An outdoor game loosely on the European game of Bocce. Uses large 3" in diameter balls. No special skills or space required. Anyone can learn- directions on carry tote bag- ages 5+.
4) Chimney of Insanity Charcoal Chimney
Don’t let the name fool you. This charcoal chimney is a super-smart update of the typical design that helps get fires burning faster and hotter. An elbow-shaped vent allows for better airflow and means you can add your starter from the side—no more lifting a full chimney to light it, and no need for lighter fluid, either.
5) State Wind Bell
