Summer essentials for a beautiful day in Johnson County

9edited

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) Mason Bee Barrel
Hang a Mason bee barrel in a sunny garden spot to give solitary bees a home of their own. These industrious bees will help pollinate flowers, fruit, and vegetables. The nesting canes in the habitat are designed to attract young, non-swarming bees who will move in during the summer and emerge as adults in spring.

2) Murphy's Naturals Mosquito Repellent Incense Cones
Ward off pests with natural mosquito repellent incense cones. High concentrations of citronella, cedarwood, rosemary, and other oils naturally combat mosquitoes and smell great too. This formula doesn’t contain any DEET or petroleum and the incense is clean-burning, so you can feel good about using it.

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) Urban Worm Composting Bag
Try composting indoors with a worm composting bin. Worms do all the work here and the conical, open-frame design of the bin promotes breathability, which keeps them happy. It’s made with water-resistant fabric that has reinforced stitching for extra durability and it sits in a lightweight frame. There’s no separating or sifting needed. Made for a Lifetime.

5) Soji Stella Nova Geometric Pendant Lamp
