Top 5 Backyard Accessories & Patio Gifts
1) Fingerprint Sensor Lock
This fingerprint lock makes it easy to secure your stuff at the gym, school, or any time you want to go key-free. Biometric technology makes your fingerprint the key that opens the durable pick- and water-resistant lock. Benjilock by Hampton can store up to 10 fingerprints, is USB rechargeable, and even has a set of keys for extra peace of mind.
2) Lightweight Kevlar Cinch Lock
Secure your ride—and just about anything else—with a lightweight bike lock that merges a cinch tie and a combination lock in one durable and flexible (not to mention compact) design. The Kevlar® fiber and stainless steel band is cut-resistant, and the aluminum lock is smash-proof, making this lock stronger than some others and easier to take along with you, too.
3) Weatherproof Extension Cord
The protective outlet shell of this outdoor extension cord shields your power connections from the elements. From landscaping tools to holiday lights, now you can ditch the homemade solutions (like a plastic bag and tape) for a safer way to secure that connection from sprinklers, hoses, rain, sleet, snow, and mud.
4) Wooden Bee Barn
Wildlife World: Wooden Bee Barn
5) Cascade Tabletop Gas Fire Pit with Sound System
Fire pit. Sound system. Your backyard or patio just turned into the ultimate place to hang. This versatile entertainment hub sits right on an outside table and offers up some serious wireless sound quality along with the relaxing flames—perfect for dinner al fresco. It has a custom-designed gas connection so it can be used on any outdoor table—even one without an umbrella hole.
