Put A Lid On It

Back in your heyday you were the king of the keg stand. You could drink anyone under the table, and had the Greek letters to prove it. In those good ole days, there was never any reason to worry about your leftover beer getting roofied or going flat. These days, things are a little different. These days (sometimes), you might (sometimes) need a Beer Saver ($10.00). Made of food-safe silicone, these durable stretchy bottle caps come in six different colors, so you can cap your bottle if you step out take a (booty) call, and later you can easily identify which beer is yours. Not that we condone leaving a trail of floaters in your wake, but you have to admit that nothing would be worse than taking a swig of the warm backwash from the tool on the stool next to you.

When Is Yard Work, Like Fun?

In the past, you’ve been known to…convince people into performing various tasks for you, i.e., “Oh, my arms are SO sore from saving all those ducklings from the oil spill, I can’t rub this lotion on my back! Desiree, would you mind terribly?” Well, now there’s a genius way to con your next door neighbor’s kid into raking your leaves for free. These bear claw-inspired Leaf Scoops ($10.00) make yard clean up actually look like fun. Molded from lightweight, unbreakable plastic, these claws will inspire little neighbor Johnny to roar and growl his way through your chores as you supervise from the deck with the other Johnny in your life, Johnny Blue. It kind of does look like fun, but…nah.

Spontaneous Tailgating

As your father proved during the Tee-Ball games of your youth, tailgating is not just for football. Tennis match? Tailgate. Taylor Swift concert? Tailgate. Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show? Best tailgating ever. And now the manly Instant Tailgate ($540) is making your life infinitely easier, with their inflatable structure that makes set-up a snap. Just twist the handle valves, enjoy an ice cold King of Beers as it inflates, and voila! You are now the proud owner of some sweet 10’ x 8’ real estate with 4 Captains chairs with 2 cup holders in each chair, and a rain/shade cover above. How else would you be able to celebrate when the Schnauzers take the blue ribbon?
