If you travel with your dog more than you travel without him, you need to invest in one of these waterproof pet seat covers.

I'm not the biggest fan of digging around in dirt, which is why I've got this simple greenhouse set up in my backyard. The shelves give you tons of space to store plants, or you can even use it as a cheap storage shed in a real pinch. And just like real greenhouses, this one lets you grow plants in all seasons.

Hooked On This Car Accessory

No tools are required for these hooks, which slide easily on your car's existing headrest rails once the headrest is popped off.

Let's Hear It For Heat Relief

I'm just like my grandmother in that I enjoy a good heating pad. There's nothing like a little heat therapy at the end of a long day to just make you feel better. This extra-large heating pad from Mighty Bliss is a fan favorite with reviews raving about how comfortable it is, how thick it is and how machine washable it is. Sounds like three-for-three to me.

Whip Your Utensils Into Shape

Kitchen utensils are like bunnies. First, you have one. Then, you have a second. Then, you have a million and don't know where they all came from.

It's a good size, and comes in both white and gray.

Swing Away in this Hammock Chair
