19edited

There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Summer Essentials” Gifts

1) Ceramic Bird Shaped Bird Feeder
This ceramic bird feeder will add bright color to your backyard. Perfect for small garden birds to perch. Each feeder features a strong steel hanging wire and drainage holes to allow for easy cleaning.

2) Zoola Short Bean Bag Pillow
Yogibo: Zoola Short Bean Bag Pillow - Pebble

3) 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.

4) Mosquito Repellent Lawn Incense
Stake an extra-large mosquito repellent incense stick in a flower bed, planter, or directly into the yard to ward off pests. It’s powered by DEET-free natural repellent made with lemongrass oil and geraniol (from geraniums) and creates bug-fighting coverage of about 200 square feet. When a stick is done, it’s biodegradable, too.

5) Flipped Planter
Inspired by the way regular terracotta planters are stacked upside down when not in use, the Flipped planter offers a playful take on a home for your plants. The outer body works as a water reservoir and supplies moisture to the plant for up to a month, so you can spend more time enjoying your plants instead of watering them.
